Why’s that? You could buy it, and then when you’re done you could easily sell it on here.

Nice copy of Returnal you've got here. Pretty expensive as I recall.

Deathloop is on discount at £39.59 on the PlayStation Store. Not cheap, but a pretty quick and decent price drop for a PS5 game.

Or, if you prefer a disc version, it's now £40.99 at Amazon.

Bargain for the GOTY, shame they didn't promote it more before release because I don't think anyone knows about it!

...Sony sold 76.4 million games during the period, including 7.6 million first-party titles. In another good sign for the company, 62% of game sales were digital. (Jawa's note: I think this percentage is for all PlayStation game sales including PS4).

Spider-Man: Miles Morales remains the PS5's top-selling first party game, with 6.5 million units sold across PS5 and PS4. Demon's Souls (1.4 million) and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (1.1 million) follow behind.


The console sales are impressive and perhaps more so due to the severe strains on supply. I'm a little surprised at game sales, though, with not many PS5 games appearing to be "must have" titles. Ratchet & Clank and Demon's Souls "only" selling around 1m copies versus 13m consoles would appear to be a fairly low attachment rate considering there isn't a big variety of dedicated PS5 blockbuster titles right now. I wonder if Sony's pricing of games is a factor in this?

I think so, yes. I haven't picked up R&C or Returnal yet due to price.

My attach rate is 0 and that's entirely down to pricing

BUY SOME GAMES YOU BASTARD!

Balan was the last ps5 game I bought, and that was only because it was £10. Other than that I've not bought a ps5 game since maybe April (sackboy). The state of that pricing.

I was going to treat myself to either Demon's Souls or Ratchet as my first game for my birthday, but then Metroid Dread came out so the PS5 got gazumped by the mighty Switch once more!

Looks like Sony has gone the extra mile for Christmas stock:

The Sun wrote:JUMBO Jets loaded entirely with PlayStation 5s have landed in the UK as Sony races to restock shelves for Christmas

The firm launched an extraordinary 'Santa Special' air-lift to ensure gamers can get their hands on thousands of its consoles.

In a bid to placate gamers, jets weighing 100 tonnes have been specially chartered to get the PS5s here.

A third dedicated cargo flight arrived at Heathrow on Flight KE9503 from Seoul yesterday. It originally took off from Tianjin in north-west China.

Korean Air Cargo’s Boeing 747 jet touched down at 2.30pm in London, stacked high with almost 50 pallets full of the gaming kit.

Twelve articulated lorries were needed to ferry the PS5s from the airport’s cargo hub to distribution centres around the UK - with just four of the monster three-metre-wide pallets fitting in each truck.

It was the third chartered jumbo delivery of PlayStation 5s to land in the UK - with two identical flights arriving on Monday and Thursday last week

Sony has plans to bring in two cargo jumbos full of the frantically sought-after Christmas gift between now and the middle of November, The Sun understands.

A Sony source told The Sun: “A phenomenal operation has been under way to stock UK shelves of PS5s for Christmas.

“Sony just wants to keep fans happy after a slew of issues with its new kit, and this is an unprecedented air-lift.

“The 747 plane is rare after being decommissioned by British Airways, but carries a vast amount of cargo as a freighter aircraft.

“Each plane can bring in 100 tonnes of equipment on almost 50 pallets. It means millions of gamers will now be smiling this Christmas."

Makes it sound like a war-time effort.

Let’s just hope they get into the hands of ‘legit’ people. Can’t see it, though.
