Yeah make sense.

I'll have a look at Asda later on to see if they have it in stock.

I've been held off by the price of £70 and now it's £35. Not too bad.

Cheers

As long as you actually play it now, and not do what I've done and sit on games and then watch their worth collapse, even when I thought I'd purchased them at a 'bargain'.

Asda offer £34.99 for a PS5 copy. Tempting.


The PS4 version with the free PS5 upgrade is £32.99 on Argos. Got mine last week, been waiting for it to become affordable and guessed it wasn't heading to PS+ anytime soon.

The only mild annoyance throwing the PS4 disc into the PS5 is that there are 2 game tiles on your home screen.

Went to Asda Superstore. It was £64 on the shelf and I brought it to the till to check how much. The staff said it was £44, I showed the price I found £35. They said it's online only even I was sure it didn't mention online only.

Told them it doesn't make sense and walk off. :|

I'm pretty sure you can delete the PS4 one without any problems.

\o.

I saw that Forbidden West was £35 on Amazon and I *almost* ordered it. Then I thought about how I haven't started the original game yet... and probably won't for several years.

If this is sensible game purchasing then bring it on :datass: .

I will try out Zero Dawn some time, Sprouty... although it is some way down my "next to play" list at the mo'!

The first game is better in terms of story anyway.

I love Horizon but fell off the second game and haven't finished it yet.

Yeah, from what I've read it does seem that - generally - plenty of folk seem to think that Forbidden West is good but also that it doesn't really add too much that's new in comparison to Zero Dawn. I'll get to 'em one day!

I have started getting in to it now. There are some really cool ruin type areas that are like small puzzle areas (a bit like a shrine in BotW I suppose). Not sure if the artefact you get is it worth the effort or not, but the actual puzzle was a lot of fun.

Is it just me or are Sony suddenly allowing an awful lot of shovelware onto the PS Store recently? It's turned into a facsimile of a mobile App Store. Why are Sony granting a publishing license for this rubbish, tbh. A lot of these games don't even look up to the standard of those budget/'education' titles that plagued PS1/2 in their dotage.

How much is a second hand PS5 (digital edition) worth? I barely ever switch mine on and figure I should sell it.

If you go by CEX they sell them for between £340-360 depending on condition.

Not for a digital, their website claims it's £144 for credit and only £93 for cash

Looks like the increase in availability is starting to push the second hand market down (though they still pay high on a boxed non digital PS5).

I mean how much they sell them for, you should be able to get there or thereabouts if sold privately I would have thought, better than what they would give you for one for sure.

Which begs the question, how much for the box?
