[@RazzyRazzam]

I love PlayStation - gotta admit tho I think a certain percent of PS2's were used as DVD players only - as it was cheaper than DVD players of the age.

[@Stalinfalcon]

It’s not that they were cheaper. It’s that they were dual purpose and so therefore we had absolutely no need to purchase a separate dvd-only set top box. This has persisted all the way to current day.

[@Beammer1234]

Plus the ps3 blu-ray was cheaper than the blu-ray players.

[@Raiden-the-Goat32]

The more graphically demanding a game is the harder they are to develop. As such people need to understand the more game devs focus on graphics the longer game development will take which equals less game's.

Would rather have a beautiful-looking, completely finished, bug-free game than buying a new game every year for the sake of it being a “new game” (I’m looking at you call of duty, fifa, nba2k, etc)

You had to be on a waiting list for a PS2 When they first available for 299.00 and people selling them on EBay for $600. I was going to list mine on EBay but I didn’t, I think at the time GameStop was the only place you could buy the first batch of the PS2 they would call u and if u didn’t pick it up within like an hour they would call the next person on the list, that’s how they done it here in Montana anyway.

Just got a ps5 2 days ago. Is there a way to get themes or wallpapers on it. New to the channel btw.

[@squidracerX]

No themes. You can get photos, pout them on usb, transfer the photos over, and then put them as a static background. But its only the background while you are on certain pages, otherwise the game pages take over anyway. So its really not worth it. But sadly, no, nothing like the ps4 themes etc. Although I hated how they clogged up the store (so i dont miss that!), but I did enjoy my Halloween Jack-o-Lantern Theme. And laser cat... Boy I forgot about a lot of those already!

25 years of being a Sony fan... Those days are now done and have been ever since they Fk'd with the PS plus memberships and double the price of basic and segregated gamers into a tier'd pricing scheme. GREED killed the gamer in me. Good job Sony! 👊🤬👍

[@tomaszstarzZz]

-Man, inflation is beyond Sony’s control. Everything is getting more and more expensive faster than pay rises. - for less than one new game a year you are getting at least 2, usually 3 games each month, that is 24-36, so around 30 games a year. I have more than 400 games this way and would never try and discovered some amazing gems. - premium tier has access to many, many games, movies as well and game streaming. Those servers need to be invested in, maintained, protected and staff needs to be paid as well. If you so upset about pricing, just get free PSN for life - buy enough Sony shares that PSN is covered by dividends payments.

[@TheMeanArena]

@@tomaszstarzZz No such thing as inflation. It is a made up term that sounds better than calling someone "an asshole that just wants more money".

[@ElectroFunkNinja]

They didn't double the essential tier though. It was like 30%, and when you break that down per month it comes down to like £1 extra month. Your take on the tiers is just a bit weird to be honest. It doesn't segregate plays, you still all place online together regardless of tier. The only thing it does is give you more games to play. And technically they already had that with PSNow, rolling it into PS+ just made the whole thing simpler and made it easier for them to compete with MS gamepass. If all you had before was PS+ and you didn't have PS Now, then under the new scheme of things you are no worse off. You just stay on PS+ essential tier. A tiny price rise when the service hasn't had one for years seems a little petty to be getting all upset about to be honest.

And he looks like a pasty white undead vampire man so he'd fit in right? No, thats crap. Post Malone is not great music to many of us, (I got offered a free ticket to his show recently and passed on it), and he doesn't belong in a game if people dont want celebrity skins in that game. If the developer said they wouldn't go down the slippery slope, then they lied.

Yeah for $375 for a disc-less version, and Trumps tariffs coming in 2025, they say the consoles could jump $200 next year. So I bought a Fortnite Ps5 slim for my nephew on sale (8 years olds dont care about discs), its basically just 1000 VBucks thrown in but he loves Fortnite. Anyway Im not giving it to him until next year for his birthday, those tariffs will kill console sales. So much for ever catching the PS2 in sales :( I feel the economy was out of the ps5's control though, and it suffered unfairly for it. So if it gets hammered by tariffs next year - Ill give it a little * next to its final sales when its all over ha-ha

A large chunk of the PS2 sales where for home media use not gaming. Gaming was a niche in the 2000s, I lived through it, it was my childhood. Literally nobody in my life respected gaming, it was massively niche and being a big gamer was seen as "nerdy" or taboo. What was huge in the 2000s was the home media explosion and the PS2 was cheaper than most DVD players of the time.

"Holding on to the ps4 generation" Generations are over. x86. It won. that's the generation we are in now. Maybe we can say amd 7800 series or 8800 series, but it's all the same. Just more or less graphics. No they need to embrace mid tier games. Stalker 2 is a mid tier game. Not saying it's great. but it's better than anything that's been released in the past 2 years. If they embraced that market they would catch more excellent games hiding in the mid tier field. But they are stuck in this remake land of boringness.

[@jockpackage1770]

Things got worse after Yoshida was demoted and it's only gotten worse, in recent years. And Herman is the reason we got the utter failure that is Concord and, allegedly, it's also his fault/his side of things that Ghost Of Yotei exists. You know, instead of it being Ghost Of Tsushima 2. The Japanese side of Sony is pissed at the US side now and for good reason. I do not trust Herman. Go to bat for... Some rando pop singer, if memory serves... or country cause all the rando/NPCS that were into pop suddenly like country for the last few years. Yeah no, rock/metal fans are superior because we are actually loyal and not trend chasers. My dad plays that dude's stuff all the time, try to repress it, and I just don't care. The celebrity colab thing is stupid as a concept but I guess, if the person actually engages with your game and isn't just doing for a pay day, I guess it's less awful.
