Bring back Resistance

FTFY.

[hudson]

Yeah, I'd go for that. First Resistance was really good. Especially online.

[nonny]

Yeah Resistance was actually great for the time. Don't I've ever played Haze... and I've never liked Killzone all that much.

[MartyG]

Try playing the first game again now - that game has not aged well.

[fishbowlhead]

Was rumours floating around that Resistance is Insomniacs next project. Just rumours though.

One of Spains biggest retailers has added PS5 to its system with the disc model at 499.99 Euro and the digital model at 399.99 Euro. Presumably, at what the Xbox systems came in at that means £499.99 and £349.99

I'd buy one at £349 just for the "free" PS+ games. Sony will be hermoraging so much money with that DE price difference on a £20 part.

I wonder what effect the digital only consoles will have as a whole on the translation over to digital sales?

I mean, where the Series S is concerned the price point is going to sway a lot of people but will essentially lock them out of ever buying discs and I feel once you go digital only you're most likely to remain that way...

It's going to be a similar story for PS5 and it's going to depend on how big that gap is between the digital and disc version of the console.

[Neon Ignition]

It'll probably be the biggest boost to the transition to digital only we've seen yet over a short term. Sony should definitely take the hit to bring the digi model in low because they'll make the money back quickly by rinsing users. With no Game Pass equivalent it means that Sony should absorb the cost quickly without relying on long term microtransactions. I'm 100% in on the disc version still though, that £100 extra will be recouped within around 3 games time, no brainer for cost saving.

No other store in the entire world will be selling PSN keys?

Yeah this. I've been digital only on the Xbox since a few months after launch and yet I would say most of the games I've bought have either been from other countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, US and Canada for a big saving or through the use of discounted gift cards or simply earning rewards credit.

I'd say games I've bought direct from the store at local pricing would be less than 1%.

I'll be going digital only on PS5 simply because I am used to it now and I plan on playing all 3rd party stuff in Xbox anyway. The PS5 would just be for exclusives...

I think both consoles versions being low priced during the COVID pandemic have the chance to completely flip the digital market. I've no idea what the ratio is now for discs v digital but it's no hard to see it could bring a tipping point.

[Neon Ignition]

Unless they're selling them for less than £8 a game that disc drive remains bargain of the century

Haven't Nintendo stopped selling store credit via third parties?

[wakka]

Digital is much more convenient, but with physical the fact that you can trade in games makes it more economical for new releases (if you bother to take advantage of it).

[nonny]

I've said it before, buying digital has saved me money. It isn't more expensive if you take advantage of the global market and discounted credit.

Plus, I still have all the games I've bought. Argue away not actually owning them but I am sure my collection will outlive me so it doesn't concern me one bit
