The design being 'ingenious' doesn't mean consumers should have to put up with broken hardware.
These lawsuits typically result in the company having to extend the warranty, which is good because you could develop these issues in year 2, or 3... a standard 12 month warranty applies to hardware with low failure rates / no known widespread issues.
This shouldn't be thrown out, neither should the cases against Nintendo and Microsoft - consumers rights are more important than corporations.
If what I’m reaping is EA Play, Bethesda games and games like Halo and FH - I am fine with that.
Which only matters because Sony still haven't given us expandable storage or cold storage... Xbox and PC gamers don’t have that problem.
Switch, PS5 and Xbox are all doing great - good news for gamers.
Loved generals and ZH (despite being a buggy unbalanced mess online). Wish EA would make a sequel and not the F2P microtransaction garbage they tried to push on us before.
18m and increasing by 1m each month is huge for a subscription service. PSNow has been around for over 7 years and has around 3m.
Best thing ever? Unsure. Not sure anything in gaming is that amazing. But it is a great thing for gamers as well as smaller developers.
@Babadook7 You can’t even begin to compare the PS collection to game pass... totally different things.
Beats spending $70 on games. I also find myself trying out a lot of games I wouldn’t even consider buying, and enjoying them & completing them.
Playing on PC and XB1 at the moment but looking forward to trying it out on a Series X at some point.
Right... - that’s why PS5 launched without PSVR, 120hz back compat, expandable storage and cold storage, Xbox has controller issues above and both were a shaky mess at launch with SMMM bricking kits, PS5 coil whine, game crashes, Xbox Quick Resume being bust... and I could add more.
It’s clear that all of the next gen consoles were rushed / development struggled due to the pandemic.
@Kilua Please explain why PlayStation and Xbox being in stock locally would make me feel better? I already have one, I don’t need a 2nd.
@SillyGameAr I live in a (somewhat) rural county in OR. Local Target and Walmart have both PS5 (disk only) and Series S in store as recent as yesterday. Doubt we got a huge shipment so it’s likely just people around here don’t game much.
I got a PS5 a bit back and still hoping to get an X at some point when available (don’t want the S)
Still can’t find a Ryzen or Nvidia Ampere anywhere though.
@potatoseal Don’t get your fanboy panties i...
He’d be better calling specific stores - Target website for example says they have none but there’s a good amount when you go in to the store.
For context though, I’m not in CA and Hollywood is a pretty busy place so YMMV.
I mean, not surprising really. The pandemic has two effects really: harder to manufacture/less units, and hype/demand has gone through the roof for consoles and PC due to everyone being stuck at home.
We have the opposite problem on the west coast. PS5 and S are easy to find in target, Walmart, kohl’s etc but X is impossible.
But this is why you can’t base sales off of what people see in stores. Different locations will have different unit counts sent to them and will sell at different rates.
Right... so it made less money one of the last 8 quarters. But was still profitable. I’m sure investors would be fine with that - they would only care if it was in the red/negative.
I don’t see this being blocked by the EU. Barely any European studios involved and it isn’t a monopoly anyway.
As for here in the states... our politicians don’t even know what video games are or think they’re serious so it’ll sail through.
Because a couple of the studios are in Europe.
Sounds like conspiracy theories to me. Next you'll be telling us 5G caused COVID.
