I didn't knew that it was debunked at the time of writing my post.
Glad that Sony is not going to nuke PS5's launch by releasing Demon's Souls on other platforms.

RT will be used in the majority of games in the near future because consoles will use it too
. DLSS 2.0 can be also used in lower resolutions as well.I had 1080ti for myself two years ago, but there's simply no comparison between 3080 and 1080ti. You really have to be kidding if you think 3080 is not worthy upgrade over 1080ti.
And this game doesn't even use turing / ampere specific and performance saving features, because then you would see literally 10-15x more performance compared to single 1080ti. You are planning to keep 1080ti and that's fine, buy dont BS people saying there just marginal difference between these two GPUs.

eBay. The only annoying thing about eBay is that they try and force you to sell it for less than it's worth, but you don't have to. They normally take 10% of all sales but they often do weekends where it's either free or super cheap.
Don't do shit like Craigslist or Facebook market, there's zero security there.

The thing is this Spiderman DLC (as it is not a fully fledged sequel to Spiderman ) is said to be shorter than the original game, so how can they even ask for £70 for that title when you are getting a title that isn't as big as the original......way things are going I think we are headed into Neo Geo territory where the price of games will soon start costing in the hundreds...

Could not care less, honestly.RT will be used in the majority of games in the near future because consoles will use it too
Again, I don't care about 4K performance whatsoever and Avengers as well. I'll be gaming in 1440p 144Hz for the next 5-6 years.

You could buy the games of current gen in USA market by "$60" when we was paying "70€". Regional scamming has been a thing for several generations of consoles, movies, music, etc.
Apple is even worse with prices.

I think we all have to accept more than ever these companies aren't our friends. Having slept on the shock of the price bump from £50 > £70 games I'll just shop around and wait for lower prices and buy used.
I've looked at other options (XSS+PC & GPU) but Sony know they have gamers by the balls with their games!

Meanwhile in the UK:
Demon's Souls, Destruction AllStars, and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition all cost £69.99.
Meanwhile, Sackboy A Big Adventure costs £59.99, and the standard version of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales costs £51.99.
SEVENTY POUNDS for 2 remastered previous gen games, and destruction derby.

It's a 10$ bump and a 10euro bump. That's it.

Shit I didn't even think about Digital, wonder what the prices are there.And people actively want physical media to die out...
Unless these are the digital prices which means they actually haven't changed in price from PS4
could mean the retail price will decrease before launch.

I wouldn't be surprised if the monthly fee for Gamepass goes up next year (maybe when Halo comes out) to $19.99 a month.

Marvel's Spider-man Miles Morales
US $49.99 = £38.40
UK £51.99 = $67.36
Demon Souls
US $69.99 = £54.02
UK £69.99 = $90.68
The beef I have is the £20 bump in one go. Your comparison here is unfair though because one includes taxes (we still pay a little more though)
UK £51.99 minus 20% VAT = £41.59. Convert to US dollars = $53.88. Costs £2.50 more in UK but we pay much higher tax/VAT than in the US (0 to ~13%? sales tax on top of the $49.99)

I'm not even supporting $70 in the US. This is nuts.
I'm tempted to just get the Series S and Gamepass.

Ok Shopto has reduced games like Ass Creed on PS5 to £45, Gold Edition is £67
Amazon.co.uk still listing the Gold Edition for £84.99
Pricing is adjusting it seems and some don't have prices yet, I guess other places are using the Digital Price as a placeholder

What's VAT in Europe? I guess the simple answer is they're pricing it that way, because they expect Europeans will pay it. That does seem like a big markup, given that with exchange rate + VAT, the prices should be the same as US. However, you're essentially paying $15 more than US, per game. I can empathize.
That said, I'm curious to know how digital sales will work here in Thailand. I recently made a US PSN account. I wonder if I can buy US games, and play on a system I buy here in Thailand. I remember demos from other regions playing just fine on my US PS3 and PS4, so I hope that's the case again. In which case, I'll just continue to buy US games, since I'll have fewer issues with my US bank as a result.

6-10%. That's not enough to bridge that price gap, but it will reduce it by a good amount. I don't know if places like Amazon still sell tax-free in places like Florida. It used to be one of the best aspects of buying stuff online, to get around that sales tax.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! I thought 7% was high here in Thailand. That's insane tax. If that's the case, then the EU prices might not be very far off the US prices pre-VAT, since almost all US states have a sales tax that gets added to the listed price.16% (Germany) up to 27% (Hungary)

For 80€, i can get so many things. I have the budget to buy those 80 or even 100€ games. The thing is that i refuse to it.
I can have books, CD, Bluray and a SegaSaturn game or 2 or 3 for the same price.
For 2 games, i can get the Super Deluxe Edition of Prince's Sign o'The times. Why would i buy 2 games instead of that?
55€ is the max price... and i think it's very expensive.

The fuck cares? You buy the physical game, then sell it after you finished it. Who fucks who?
Well, you can sell an iPhone for 1000+ bucks, you can't sell a gaming console with a 5-10 year lifespan for 500+ because journos and "regular" people will be offended.

Which is not Sony's fault but their own government's fault. So no need to blame Sony for the outrageous taxing.

MS should pull an NFL2K5 and release their first party games for 20 bucks.

Really? 70 USD without tax is 84.5USD with EU tax, not 94USD (80EUR, which still definitely going to higher here)...
I could of swore in the PS1 days they sold Sony first party for 10 dollars less than everyone else.
