Actually bricking it (not really) at the thought of the annual iPhone upgrade. Also the PSVR 2. Put an extra £50 on that.

 

Have to follow currencies closer than I like and it’s a total joke how worthless the pound is. If this was a South American country we’d be calling it a failed state.

The Euro is little different.

 

The Fed have been raising interest rates sharply increasing the value of the dollar, and it's a flight to safety in a worldwide recession/depression which is coming

I'm consistently amazed at just how fucking awful Sony have been this gen. Even Microsoft in their Xbox One launch didn't seem to project such a colossal distain for their public than Sony are at the moment. Every single thing they're doing feels like a kick in my sensitive parts. If there's any justice in the world, MS should be making hay in the sun with their way of thinking.

 

But I'm not really sure that's happening, and I do live in the clouds.

 

I know all companies effectively just want our money, but no-one out there is doing it so coldly.

Good timing with the release of the, checks notes, seventy pounds re-remaster of The Last Of Us, Part 1. 
 

I guess we can now safely say there won’t be a Pro console for a while. Going on last gen pricing a machine like that would be pushing £600.

Jim Ryan is a parasite

 

He's the worst thing to happen to Sony for a very long time from a consumer point of view that's for sure. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure I want to keep my PS5 at the moment...I fucking love the machine. It's got such a great collection of games that are right up my street. But the company is offending me so much at the moment, I'm kind of torn, and I reckon I could use the money in the PC space...

Videogames are such a blatant corporate entity these days that they don’t even hide ripping off the consumer anymore. I have a Series S for sea of thieves and rocket league with mates as well as the indie and old Xbox releases. But mostly I play on my Dreamcast and Megadrive and simply enjoy a more simpler era, I get more excited about a new homebrew release for a Sega console than something like Elden ring. This  winter I’ll be playing Life on Mars and Driving Strikers.

I’m deffo part of the problem.
 

I’d love to sack Sony off this gen to send a message and just have my Xbox, but there’s too many games I like that I’d be missing out on and would just up buying one again pretty quickly.
 

 

If anything I’m more likely to sell my Xbox to fund a PSVR toward the end of the year. :ph34r:

Their strategy is reactive and all over the place, but luckily the machine, and the games, are excellent. 
 

Also when you look at what you get in the Premium tier of PS Plus it’s really, really good value, but they’ve handled the whole thing so badly it’s a confusing mess in every sense. 
 

They appear to me to be in a similar position leadership wise to when Don Mattrick was in charge of Xbox.

Yeah it’s definitely a big difference between Ryan’s Sony and Mattrick’s MS: The core product is actually good in Sony’s case.

Thing is, Don Mattrick kind of was just a generation too early really. I think he absolutely fluffed it, but I don't think he was coming to it from anywhere near as cynical a place as where Sony are coming from now. 

 

I may well be very wrong about that though - the Xbox One generation passed me by completely until the One X came along, and that was really only to play Red Dead 2!

dunno. This year they’ve released a micro transaction mess of a gran turismo game, and a horizon game that was overshadowed the following week.

 

(and deserved to be: I played the remainder last week before playing the remainder of halo: infinite’s campaign and only the second was actually interesting - there’s a hell of a lot riding on God of War raganok once you remember that they’re not just competing with Microsoft’s irrelevant first party)
