This is what I ended up going with. It's more than I would like to pay for a game, but its gonna be a bitch to get hold of after release.
what is TGC exactly?
I assume it's "TheGameCollection"
Oh ok, I didnt know. Pre orderd it from there, 53 euros total to Spain. Saved me a few euros. The game releases on a Wednesday, can I expect to get to play on the weekend?
I know some places ship one day before the release date, so that people get it on day one. Is this the case? (I know it will take more than a day as I am not in the UK, just want to know in order to not create expectations if they dont.

£38.99 at Smyths is the cheapest I can see at the moment for those without any reward points.
I'm thinking of setting up a US PSN account on my UK PS4 - are there any inherent downsides to doing so other than it being against Sony's terms of service? Any stories of anyone having their UK account on the PS4 revoked?
I don't imagine I'll be buying that many US digital games (if any), I'm doing this for the specific purpose of using codes for games being released in NA but not in UK.

First paragraph of the ToS states you need to be in the country of the account you create, plus from some googling there was a fair bit of debate in the old version of this thread about it.
If there's no real practical danger of losing online access for the UK account, hopefully all I need to do is create US versions of my details and buy digital codes/US PSN credit from Amazon when I need to?

I've been running alternate region PSN accounts for 5 years without any issue. I play everything on my EU account and buy from other regions every now and then.
I wouldn't worry.
I remember Shu Yoshida mentioning in an interview he has several PSN accounts across multiple regions.
Hah, really?! Nice.
Guess I don't need to worry about not being able to play NA/JP games/demos then!
You can even use the same phone number across multiple PSN accounts for 2FA.
yup, same here.
i have a german, US and a hong kong and jap. acc.
never had problems logging in japan, korea, or italy.
now iam in sweden, still no issues.
good to know, didnt know this.

Does anyone know of any good deals for RE7 on Xbox One?

Ah, sorry you didn't know homie! Glad somebody else told you haha. They're very good for delivery. Maybe not the weekend in Spain.
Does anyone think we'll get Horizon on a Saturday cheekily from TGC? I'm getting my OLED on Saturday and that would be incredibly lucky...
It's already been mentioned but just want to hammer this home-
Unlike on Xbox, dlc is not region free on PSN.
So if you buy a disc game in the U.K. You need to buy the dlc on your uk account.

Yakuza 0 (PS4) has decreased from £39.99 to £39.57
It begins! Maybe I'll grab it...
Also, mad how Gravity Rush 2 is still so expensive. TLG tanked in price so hard, so I was sort of expecting the same with this. Hell, it's not even available from Amazon directly (non-warehouse).

IS there a physical vita version of berserk? and where?
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...onus/cid=UP4108-PCSE01034_00-BERHAWKWITHBONUS
and by any change, anyone know what Vita firm does it need?
If it needs more than 3.6 I will have to go with the ps4 version =(.
I wound if it's manageable in Japanese (not understanding the language of course) , I mean it's a mosou.. I had to only smash enemies and select misions, or is it way more complex?

Looks like only physical in the west and no weird English language Asian version like with Digimon.

It was very wise of me to not take part in that "discussion". After seeing a certain someone posting in this thread I knew what was going to happen. Poor Yian.

Hey guys, used to be a console gamer but then jumped to PC about 5 years ago. Been out of the loop on which online stores to buy for in the UK. I used to get all my games on ShopTo.
I want to buy a PS4 slim and I'm trying to find the best bundles for this console. A 1TB looks cheap on SimplyGames (£219.99). Are there any better offers or stores out there right now I should be looking at? Thanks in advance for any help.

That's a fine price! There's always going to be better bundles no matter how good your deal is.
Do consider stepping up to a PS4 Pro if you're sporting a 4K screen!

Can't believe I missed this. Usually goes for $20 on Origin.
Should pay more attention to this thread.

Thanks! Yeah, been debating the jump to the Pro but right now I'm only running a 27" 1080p monitor. There's too many great PS4 (and PS3) games I haven't played so thought I'd finally make some space in my room to fit a PS4. With this in mind I thought I'd get a slim for now and then upgrade to the Pro when I get a decent TV and more space. Looking at:
PS4 1TB Slim
Uncharted Collection
Uncharted 4
The Last of Us
Yakuza 0
Bloodborne
Horizon Zero Dawn
... there's probably others I'm forgetting right now.
Can you summarize that for me. It is kind of a drag on my phone and I am curious!
GinoFelino
Member
Hey, as long as Bloodborne is on your list, I have nothing to add. Looks good, man! Jump in! You'll love Yakuza 0, judging from your username
honestly if I were you, I'd fork over the extra money to get a Pro with all the Sony games you want to play, regardless of the monitor that you're using
GinoFelino
Member
Horizon Zero Dawn is the only one that really utilises the Pro's power on his list, so I disagree. Funds aren't infinite and 220 quid is a great price. Leaves some money for games!
That is a great selection of games. TLOU and Bloodborne are on sale on PSN every now and then, you can save some money getting them there (or waiting a little until they are on sale again).
yaffi

I'd rather not, I don't want to lose my account.
The really short version is: someone made a thread about something they liked about the 3 games mentioned in the thread title. At first people were like "yeah, you're right, that's nice." Then a certain post happened and the thread turned into something else entirely. Now it's a graveyard.
Ryo Hazuki
Member
Thanks, guys. Yeah, I can definitely afford the pro but being mainly a PC player I thought the extra £120 could buy me more games. It also looks like the Pro is hard to buy right now? I'd love the Pro but not sure I can justify it at the minute.
Thanks! Currently checking the prices for some of these games online and remembering just how expensive console games can be, haha. What are the sale prices on PSN usually? Is it better than buying physical?
GinoFelino
Member
Why would you lose your account?
The thread was about the depiction of female characters in games and their clothing in particular. Some people got really worked up and got banned as a result.
Pro is great, but you can wait on it. I love mine, but without a 4K screen it's not a must-buy just yet. Especially if you have a PC too.
Games like Bloodborne have been sold for 10-15 pounds on sale. PSN sales are really good, especially with added PS+ discounts. But physical sale prices from retailers like Amazon, Zavvi and ShopTo are usually good too, so you can't really lose either way as long as you avoid high launch prices.
Ryo Hazuki
Member
Thanks! Currently deciding if I want to drop £40 on Yakuza 0, especially as I might get Horizon next week at launch. Trying to figure out the best game or games to buy until then. £300 for PS4 Slim 1TB with Yakuza 0 and Horizon seems very tempting.
GinoFelino
Member
They're both open-world and considerable timesinks, which might be a little fatiguing. From your list, I'd recommend Uncharted 4 to tide you over until Horizon arrives.
Ive seen Bloodborne for around 10-12 dollars a few times, if I am not mistaken in the last sale they had the GOTY (with DLC) edition for around 15. I got my TLOU in that price range as well. (this is the best game I've ever played)
In Europe the sales are usually not as good as those in the USA, but you can create an account registered in the USA and buy games there. (you might need to buy some US PSN credits for that, in the Buy/Sell thread it's easy to get).
But you are in the UK so you might find good prices for the discs as well.

I think if you don't get a Pro at this point, you're going to regret it, and now with the boost mode, some old games play better (like bloodborn), specially at 1080p
With boost mode and all the bells and whistles of Pro supported games like TLOU, Uncharted, Horizon, Last Guardian, and so on, I think it's worth the extra money for sure and you won't regret the purchase later on like you will with the original PS4.
As a pc gamer you'll also like the improved IQ and more stable frame rates. If you can get a good deal for the Pro, go for it.
Ryo Hazuki
Member
Thanks a lot! Will definitely check out PSN and making a US account.
It is tempting but it's £110 more. I also can't find them in stock at any of the places I'm going to. How long have these been unavailable for and when will they be back in stock, does anyone know? Would have liked to spontaneously jump in now for Horizon rather than wait.

Just remember when Sony were ok with account sharing on PS3 and then changed policy. Just because Shu does/did it, doesn't mean it's ok.
I mean all parties were at fault in that thread, lets be real here. Sure a post started it, but a conversation isn't held by just one person.
I think the real moral of that thread is, some people just need to learn to ignore them if you don't like what someone is saying.
I've been thinking the exact same thing for weeks. I snapped up TLG for £25 two weeks after it launched, and was hoping GR2 would be the same, but here we are. I'm actually starting to worry that I might not get a physical version of the game at this point unless I splash out a ridiculous amount of money. Same goes for Nioh.
SimplyGames and TheGameCollection are letting me down for once, for shame.

I don't think Sony expect GR2 to sell gangbuster, hence there aren't that many stocks available and the price doesn't drop that quickly.
foobarry81
Member
It's a 1st party game. Sony will reprint it sooner or later.
I think they expected GR2 to be really niche.
It's a sequel to a game on a handheld no one bought. Yeah, it got a remaster, but I don't think many people will have known what it even was.
I also hate to say it but, they probably thought the aesthetics might put people off too.
With that in mind, they shipped accordingly, and we probably won't see a price drop for a while.
I just hope it doesn't go out of stock and disappear into the ether. I do fully intend to buy it eventually, I just can't justify it at the moment since there's so many other games I am playing, or will be playing next week.

Is ShopTo the cheapest pre-order for Horizon Zero Dawn at £39.85?
They used to be pretty good when I ordered from them years ago. It's £42.85 on Simply Games.
