Between this title and how they talk about the show the sense grows that ND is tired of TLOU and is pushing to draw a line under it and move on.

I personally felt the story was done, and doesn’t need a LoU3. Financially I’m sure some Sony executives will harshly disagree, but story wise it is complete.

Im happy ND are moving onto a new franchise, especially a syfy 😊, and im sure ND themselves need the break on new material.

I think there are only around 5 that are nice looking

Oh come on, almost half of those are at least decent, even some of the game-specific pads aren't half bad. The Concord one is probably the best thing that came out of that game.

I’ve got the Astro Bot & Anniversary ones, their lovely, but I actually quite like the concord one as well 🤷♂️

[Neon Ignition]

I like the metallic blue controller, the Astro Bot model, Chroma Pearl is alright and the GOW pad. I don't mind the TLOU one either but the rest I'm not fussed about. Most of the red ones look much less impressive in person than on the box too

I really like the metallic green one.

I've gone through a few controllers at this point (coz mostly dpad got ruin from playing SF6).

I have 2 white ones (1 died to dpad death)
1 pink (dpad)
1 black (dpad)
DuelEdge (this is going strong)

I think that all nearly comes to same price of a Switch 2

[fishbowlhead]

PS5 prices going up in Europe, meanwhile the rrp in the US is unchanged despite that orange f wits tariffs. So Europe is subsidising the US to keep that territory happy, year you can F off Sony.

This goes top of the Bulls**t list.

[Neon Ignition]

I don't know if it falls under companies being able to charge what they want, but if there's a mechanism for it to be looked into it should be as otherwise that's anti-consumer as hell for Europe.

[fishbowlhead]

Only generation I can remember where being an early adopter SAVED you money 🤷♂️

[Neon Ignition]

It's why I've stuck with my Switch 2 preorder. I know it'll never come down in price but it going up seems like an open door.

I read on rllmukforum that the disk drive is becoming cheaper, if you can find one.

I went to the official site and you are very correct. £69.99

In case anyone is still without one and wants in before the same bundle costs you over £100 more
