    It's not a loophole, it's the system working as intended. You can have multiple accounts on one system and those can be of different regions. Other accounts can play those games. Sony have to allow multiple accounts of different regions because of how people change where they live or who they live with. It's not a legal requirement but so many people need a system like that they won't change it. Disabling the ability to play games other people own on those accounts also won't happen because it's a way of doing family and child accounts which they need to maintain.

    If Sony do shut that down (they won't) there will be such a big outcry that they'll walk it back. That's all they do now. They make a decision, people get upset about it, they walk it back. Like the Horizon free upgrade from PS4. If they wanted to be nice guys like MS (no corporation is a nice guy but MS are at least focusing their business around making decisions that are mostly consumer benefit focused) they wouldn't have tried to charge for the upgrade. Instead, they tried it, people got upset and they u turned. It keeps happening with Sony.

    All of which is to say, it isn't a loophole, it won't be shut down and if it is, they'll reverse it when it blows up on twitter.

      I have Horizon on pre order, what else should I be looking at? Any good Demos?
      Another vote for Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut.

          I'm checking the available sites most days but PS5 availability is scant. I'm sure it'll get to a point where I can buy one from an actual store but as it stands its no dice currently.

            Ghost of Tsushima was excellent. Regardless of what the "shortcomings" may be, graphical finesse (someone said the waves in the sea were bad), the repetitiveness etc, there's a couple of things that kept me going above all. Firstly, the combat. So many ways to approach a fight or a camp. You just felt powerful like an movie samurai, but you still had to have your wits about you. Then just the sheer brilliance of the island and the how alive it feels. The vibrant colours, the waving grass, the wind. The world itself had character.

            I'm not really big on stories in games. I found the core gameplay loop so satisfying. In the end I felt the need to hit that very reachable Platinum trophy.

              I briefly thought about changing my name to Samfootball.

                Strong rumours that a SoP event will take place sometime between the last week of Jan and first of Feb.

                Sounds about right.
                'For all of you who got a ps5 this Xmas, here is all the stuff you can look forward to this year...'
                Plus the last event in Nov just focused on indie stuff.

                  Sounds about right... They've got to be promoting Horizon, Gran Turismo and that new Tournaments feature they mentioned.

                      Never understood the fascination with Twisted Metal.

                        I enjoyed the PS2 one, what was it... Twisted Metal Black? Thought it was decent at the time but never had any interest in the series apart from that.

                          I was about to reply with almost exactly the same thing.

                            Same. Why Sony think people gonna lap it up after PS2 era. I believe it flopped back on PS3. Unless, it gonna be a different beast and the very mutt's nuts.

                              I tried it a bit ago while loading my HDD up with ISOs and found it to be an ugly, janky, near unplayable, steaming pile of pap. It's one of those games that gets a lot of good rep on FB feeds such as UniLad Gamer, along with stuff like Enter The Matrix and other associated garbage.

                                I think Twisted Metal Black earned a lot of kudos back in the day just for it's darker tone, great soundtrack and the fact it was one of the first games playable online... or did they re-release it with online play? Can't remember exactly to be fair but it's earned a cult following for that.
