I really want to get it... But it's still €80 which is just a bit much.

I bit the bullet and am really looking forward to playing it now!

yeah , I plan to buy it from the US PSN store, works out at around €57 for standard edition or €66 for digital deluxe.

I'll hang on and pick it up for 35/40 around Christmas. It looks fantastic though.

I’d be picking it up day one if it was even 70 quid, 80 is just too high. I will wait till it comes down a bit.

This and returnal were absolutely games I would have bought instantly if they were priced as last gen, I’m not saying I’m indicative of anything but this new price point has to be hurting sales in some way.

Will get that on the US store. €80 is a piss take.

I'm old enough to have been burned by price gouging on previous consoles. I recall spending €85 on blue dragon when it released on the 360. I won't do it anymore, I wanted to play Valhalla when I got my ps5 but said I'd wait, got it for €35 last week. I'm sure R&C will be the same to get Christmas sales.

Started Ghost of Tsushima during the Bank Holiday, seems great so far. Don't know how long it takes but whenever I get around finishing that I'll definitely pick up R&C

Same as a poster above, the €80 is a real turn off for buying games especially on the disk less console. I use to but games whenever they came out and then trade but I am being very selective now due to the cost.

Hopefully it will come up in a sale on the US account.

I'm the same. At 70 I'd bite (given the reception) but 80 is just too much and I have to vote with my wallet. AC Valhalla retailed at 80 and was reduced within a month so it will reduce.

It's a shame as I love Insomniac and would love to support their work but not when I'm being gouged. And on the flip side, kudos for making the pre-order bonus guns only early access bonuses rather than exclusives.

AC Valhalla was 60 quid at launch, the last gen and current gen versions were priced the same. As sickening as it is to say this, in this particular case, Ubisoft are one of the good guys.

Next you'll be telling us you like a couple of Coldplay songs.

It is really good but one you can definitely wait for. The story isn't going to change but the price will.

TitianGerm

I'll be playing it on the 60FPS mode anyway over the 4K 30FPS option.

Edit: I don't see this one dropping in price for a few months.

It won’t, since maybe Ghost of Tsushima, Sony games seem to be holding their value. Maybe they are taking a page out of Nintendo’s book.

Demon Souls still seems to be around the 60 quid mark

Every game comes down eventually. TLOU II is already down to €20 and it's only a year old.

Thise games always hold their price quite well for the first 12-18 months.

This topic is exactly why buying a digital version PS5 is a dumb idea. Save €100 now just to lose hundreds or thousands during the consoles lifetime.

I bought Valhalla for €35. I'll probably sell it for €30 no bother. Many here would have paid full price for it at launch just to uninstall it when completed.

Not dumb at all , i don't buy that many games but the ones I do I play allot.

Multi platform games always drop in price, exclusives not so much

Hi all,

Picked up a PS5 DE for my lad.
He played Minecraft on the PS4 (disc) but we're having trouble getting it sorted on PS5 DE.
The game is there in the library but the game is locked.
Tried a licence reset but no joy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

He would have to buy the digital version off the store.

The disk is basically the product key for the game. Not being able to use the disk means you won't be able to access the game on the PS5. Like the person above said, you'll have to get the digital version of the game off the store. Just make sure you can transfer your save between the disk version and the digital version of the game. Sometimes there are issues.

It needs the disk in the drive to play the disk version. The DE is missing that, so any disk PS4 games won't work.

You would need to buy the digital version of Minecraft. Or upgrade to the disk PS5.

Depends on the person really. For someone buying disks regularly on PS4 and trading them in, yeah the digital PS5 would be a bad idea. For someone like myself who bought about 2 PS4 games on disk, it makes perfect sense.

you can save a fortune with digital as well and not have the hassle of going into shops.

game share with someone like minded and every game is always half price, sales are even better bargains.

its horses for courses but the thoughts of going shopping for bargain then selling back to cex so they can gouge people gives me shivers
