Sick to death of this practice. Makes owning the physical disc almost pointless in terms of preservation. Probably a happy side effect in their eyes. Seeing as they earn more money from digital sales and want physical to die.
I 100%ed it recently (the main campaign on normal difficulty) on my series X at 60fps mode. Ran and looked amazing! The loading times sucked though. I guess that's one thing they will fix with a native release.
It was a baptism of fire as I went to Dathmir first and hadn't really played a game with stance breaking combat before.
I had to send back a shock blue controller just a week ago because of an unresponsive A button. I should get my replacement (or fixed) controller on Monday. Luckily I had another controller so I could still play while they sorted it out.
Isn't jedi fallen order 60fps on series X as an option now? It may not have the X|S logo on the game picture/thumbnail but it was updated to run better on series X... Right?
Record breaking for xbox or for console releases in general? I'm guessing the former but if it's the latter sony ponies will likely say "that's just because it was a simultaneous release across each vendor within each time zone/region"
To which I'd respond, "So a more planned out release with plenty of advance notice? The way it should be done?"
Say what you will about scalpers and websites crashing. That happened for the ps5 and xbox preorders. That's something that needs addressing for sure. But Xbox definitely was a more ordered and preferable way of doing things...in my opinion!
Got the same rush/adrenaline from trying to get one as I used to playing with real money on roulette, or poker online. Scary but also not a bad feeling. Though if I 'lost' and didn't secure an Xbox I'd definitely have classed it as a bad time/feeling!

Will be my first playstation ever. I'm also getting the series X on tuesday if I can get a preorder (will try amazon first, then game if no luck)
I'm going to have to hide the ps5 behind my TV since it's so huge and ugly. But I would like to (for the first time ever) be able to play sony console exclusives. I intend to buy 2nd hand games and wait for sales because of the game prices. But I'll likely get spiderman on release so I have something to play. Otherwise why get a ps5 on release? I'll get multiplat games on the series X though.
I don't like a lot of Sony's actions recently but I still appreciate the fact they make some great exclusive games.
Don't listen to a word this man says. It's not like he's earned any trust from us with the whole lying by ommission about believing in generations and risking styfiling innovation. Not to mention the ***** show that trying to preorder was, the screwing over the UK and europe with ps5 game pricing and delayed release date compared to the USA. What a fine way they have treated their overseas fans/community recently. F off Sony.
Seems to take about 3 weeks for me to earn a £5 voucher. That's doing the max bing searches on mobile and PC and edge browser, all the extras on the rewards page (daily quizzes, polls etc) and opening the xbox gamepass app on mobile daily.
Thanks. That's what I thought but I guess because its 450quid I was concerned there may be a different policy. I preorder games on Amazon uk and yeah they charge just before release, rather than when I put the preorder in.
I'm confident enough thanks to you guys that I can afford to buy 3D all stars now too! Rather than waiting till I get paid. Woo!

Series X off of amazon UK
Got the same rush/adrenaline from trying to get one as I used to playing with real money on roulette, or poker online. Scary but also not a bad feeling. Though if I 'lost' and didn't secure an Xbox I'd definitely have classed it as a bad time/feeling!

@TheGamerKing Glad you only took umbrage with one of my points. I guess the rest is indefensible.
