Nah they promote the game, they even had TV spot plus you already asking people to buy the game after elden, gt7 and Horizon that's just too much. And none of these games are small either

I think the link is broken. When I click in it says you could buy a PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition without it being in a bundle. They will need to update that error soon.

Maybe tomorrow but it hasn't turned up in the top 100 for April (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsel...ef=zg_bsar_pg_2/ref=zg_bsar_pg_2?ie=UTF8&pg=2) and not been notified on other channels like Discord or Twitter.I can't check these.
But all retailers received new stocks, no? I mean Amazon.co.uk included.
Edit - Amazon is probably holding for tomorrow.

Yeap seems like it is tomorrow.
In case you won't see it in the best selling... I don't thing there will enough stock for that.
You will have to look at "Movers and Shakers" that is currently at 70.
Or the hourly one but it needs to be at the hour the the restock happens

Yeah. Movers and shakers is very weird and I suspect might be small enough to be skewed by resellers.Yeap seems like it is tomorrow.

remember to snag a decent 1TB (or above) m.2 drive, my PS5 filled up quick. Western Digital, Samsung (since they fixed the firmware) and Sabrent all have dedicated kits with a specifically designed cooler for the PS5.
ended up getting a Samsung 980 Pro and works well, and honestly its a life saver the 660GB usable you get as standard just feels constricting as all games need to be read off the disc and installed onto the system anyway to play.

Yeah I was joking, the bundle seems to be a 3rd party seller.
Digital version seems to be gone or not updated, disc link works.

I think that is more related to your play habits.
I probably will never have issue with space with these consoles (never had in previous generations too).
I just install play until finish it (Platinum) and delete… exceptions aren’t the game to play in party like GT7, Street Fighter and FIFA… all others just temporary games.
I usually only play one game at time too.
That is why I didn’t bother to buy Elden Ring… there is no reason to buy a game I won’t play for months.

He was right about Very.
Seems like Sony is having some stock for now. Japan is selling 20k per week now almost since the beginning of the year which is much healthier than before.
Hopefully it keeps going.
Maybe they will avoid being last this april lmao.

This was a comment about GT Sport with buying cars... you cant buy cars on GT7 only currency which is obviously used to buy cars, but because the MTX is directly tied to the in game economy compared to GT Sport which is indirectly tied its a little different essentially you hit endgame and became broke suddenly, this was offset slightly if you bought the deluxe edition because of the free 1 million credits. Making that buy credits for money MTX more appealing is why people had such a backlash to the decrease announcement, and the at the time low free credits cap, just above the maximum price of a car.
as for not playing it...
I have posted this picture before (in the original earnings decrease thread) but I think it gets the point across.
there seems to be some big conspiracy nuts about not owning/playing games recently as a defence against any and all criticism to peoples favourite console exclusive, can you please just fuck off with this please, its getting annoying.
What in the good lord's name is in that mug?

i love how you just prove the point people are making you weren't playing the game,
if you were playing the game you would know only a handful of world circuits events were nerfed, for people who don't know these events are like a side quests.
but you make it sound everything got nerfed

Amazon didn't get the memo they need to Bundle GT7 and Horizon because these games are flopping in sales without being carried by bundles.

I know reading comprehension is not your best trait, but I expect you not to be coward and address people directly. But maybe I shouldn't expect much from someone who has a mental breakdown when his favorite console is not selling enough units to satisfy his pity ego.Folk claiming bundles in Germany and UAE are the reason why GT7 and Horizon FW are selling well in the UK. Welcome to NeoGaf.
Surely the reason to buy a PS5 is to play the big exclusives?
My comment was in giving another ranecdote that where I live (UAE), PS5 are sold only as bundle. Even from the official Sony distributor in the country (Jumbo). I don't know the full case in UK but I wouldn't not be surprised if it helps games like HFW or GT7 sell more units. No, funny guy, no one said that is the only reason.

Microsoft can't even really do it anymore because of game pass lol. I really would have thought they would be forcing sales of forza horizon but it seems to be 3 months of gamepass at places like currys in the UK.

And it's not even Sony's fault. Retailers are doing these forced bundles...not Sony.
In fact if you buy these consoles through Sony (Playstation?) Direct it's usually just the console.

Sony put the game in two of its biggest showcases and had a whole seperate showcase for it a month before release. It didn’t sell because it didn’t appeal to people and didn’t get stellar reviews in a crowded release period.
Sony’s not the publisher, Bethesda is, blame them

why strawman? why does it sound like "everything" got nerfed? I actually said that they cancelled this and added buffed earnings on some of the high end repeatable tracks we actually have a list of what was proposed.
Some of these tracks, specifically the Dirt Champions like Fishermans and Sargdena Windmills where being farmed so people could hit their 20 million credit cap after buying their legends cars, and we know they where being farmed because we have series producer Kazunori Yamauchi saying
“I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again."
in direct response to questions around the announced earnings nerf, this is due to players as above "mechanically" playing events to earn credits, because they want those cars.
They of course backtracked on this the above races have the same amount of credits however now more world circuits are in line and they have added things like the World Touring Car 700 on the 24 Heures du mans racing circuit which nets you just over half a mill for first every 30 minutes, while again buffing the payout for things like the World Touring Car 800 Monza and other latter world circuits. I am unsure why you are singling out the world circuits as "not mattering" or side quests, because there is only the cafe as a "primary content" as there are no leagues, if you want to argue these are "side content" then so are challenges and licence tests, a majority of the game.
They have adjusted these positively and have promised to make more changes in the future, they have however not done this because you sat there going "stop complaining about my fav game" there is literally zero negative consequences to you because other people wanted change. You get increased credit cap, increased earnings and still retain access to promised free future content. Why are you so angry over other people doing something that in no way negatively effects you?
The only way you can respond is if anything negative said about the cames former state you take as a personal attack an

Grinding is easy peasy in GT7 now. Best in any GT series.
Talking almost $2.5 million an hour.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I don't think there were any previews for the game until a month before it's release, they should have done a longer preview and marketing period like most big games get these days.
I also don't want to think Bethesda was petty enough to let the game out to die owing to their new corporate overlords. Ah well.

How about you not be so hyperbolic about the in-game currency to the point of being incorrect then?This was a comment about GT Sport with buying cars... you cant buy cars on GT7 only currency which is obviously used to buy cars, but because the MTX is directly tied to the in game economy compared to GT Sport which is indirectly tied its a little different essentially you hit endgame and became broke suddenly, this was offset slightly if you bought the deluxe edition because of the free 1 million credits.

If you've played it then you know it was not a big problem at all. OH NO I HAVE TO PLAY A GAME TO BUY CARS, it's like you've never played a GT game before. A ton of people complained that it was TOO easy to get good cars in this game whereas in previous games it took a lot longer to get a powerhouse beast stock.

Keep in mind that owning that version of GT7 doesn’t mean you own a PS5. Comes with a digital copy of the PS4 version and was the only way to purchase the physical 25th anniversary edition on either console

all of these are side content, this isn't the main content which is the cafe and circuit experience and the missions.
to put in perspective i haven't done any these races till today because i was lucky enough to get the update as soon as i finish the cafe, people that already had finished the main content were grinding and got mad when fisherman ranch got nerfed.
so yeah you are reaching come on
