"Before Your Eyes" is available now on iOS via the Netflix app (free for subscribers) :shock:

I have always wanted to play this game, but do not own a PC. Will be interested to see how well the blink to progress tech works on phone (I cant imagine it being a problem).

One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

I’m guessing by the time they get back to me they will tell me they can no longer honour the price I ordered at.

Hopefully I am proven wrong, but I won’t be using them again either way.

Oh and the “contact us” link on my original order just bounced the email. Have not seen that undeliverable message for about 15 years, so I guess it was worth it all for the nostalgia.


In the interest of fairness, the issues I experienced were with Royal Mail. I still think XRocker's speed of communication is / was pretty poor, but not to the point of being "unacceptable".

Also, their sluggish speed at responding to emails meant I ended up with 2 of the docks, as they had dispatched a replacement before reading my email telling them it had finally turned up!

So yeah, they are perfectly ok to order from, just plan on about 4 days between any correspondence if it is required.

Yep, I have already justified it to myself. I’m seeing a mate later in the year who had just bought a Switch so I will probably pass it on to him.

I'm gonna pass on this one but, yeah, my commitment was smashed past in early June :fp: .

I believe so, Milner - I had a quick read of the description and it can be played solo or co-op with up to three others.

That's a tempting price. It's on their PS Extra service isn't it? Do we know if 1st party games are going to be rotated in and out of the service yet?

It is on Extra but, yeah, we don't know if and when Sony games will join and leave the service.

Thanks.

I'm really tempted by this, but I feel like I am bound to get PS Extra at some point (I really want to play Stray). I own most of the PS5 games on the service already, so I have held off, but If I keep buying them up when they are discounted I will never be able to justify it!

Then again, buying a game always makes me more compelled to stick with it. Probably the sunk cost fallacy. And that might be important with a Souls game.

What say you Jawa? You are basically my magic 8-ball.

Dude, I bought it about six months ago for £39 'cos that was a great price at the time... and I've yet to play it :lol: :fp: . But, yeah, twenty wraps feels to be a good deal!

How accessible is Demon Souls for a newbie?
