Yes it is. They've been completely reliable in my experience. It's trivial setting up a US PSN account. Just pick a state with no sales tax - I think I used Oregon for mine. The savings are pretty substantial and I've had a US PSN account for years without any issues.

Divinity 2 has dropped today with PS5/Pro enhancements and it's on sale for 15 quid. Well worth it if you enjoyed BG3 (although it is considerably less cinematic).

Thanks for mentioning this.

I had this on my wishlist and have been waiting for it to go on sale, but it's now gone. I did a manual search on the app and found it, but the game had a release date of 15 December 2025.

I'm wondering if they have withdrawn the previous version and that's why it is gone from my wishlist and why I didn't get notified it was on sale.

I didn't really gel with the original Divinity, but for £12.49 I thought I'd take a punt on this. I'm just at the end of my 2nd play through of BG3 and will need a bit of turn based action in my life again!

The Playstation end of year wrap up for 2025 is now available if you want to check it out https://wrapup.playstation.com/

I have 554 hours played which is down on previous years. Steam will beyond doubt be my most played platform this year with the Switch 2 in distant third place.

27 games - 700 hours.

I'd probably say the PS5 is now my most played console out of the lot.

1. PS5
2. PS2
3. PS1
4. PS3
5. PS4

After the PS4 I wasn't going to bother with the 5. It was by far the worst console era and I hardly played it. I've loved this gen though.

I paid £462 from Very

Not been a Very account holder for years like paying for COD infinite only to get the COD4 remastered only for them to delivery 2-3 weeks after release, then an issue with the warranty on my 4k TV, swear I would never have a very account again but that £467 all in price was too good to turn down :)
 
Evening chaps, is it worth selling on an original disc edition PS5 and getting the Pro with disc attachment for £570?

Is the upgrade worth it or hold at this point for a PS6?

For me it was, some games like Alan Wake 2 or Final Fantasy VII remake are massive improvements, but Id never pay the full price.

Look at the games you play and if theyre upgraded. If they are...then you may well find it worth it, if you can get a good price for your OG PS5.

FWIW I went from an OG PS5 too. The Pro is quieter than my OG also.

Depends on how much you use your PS5 right now. If you’re already a fairly active PS5 user then you’ll find value in the Pro. Even with my fairly powerful PC, I play almost every single player title on the PS5 and that experience is even nicer on the Pro.

I don’t think we’ll be seeing a PS6 until late 2027 at this point.

I bought one myself

But i do feel this deal price is what it should have cost from the start.

Ha ha, same. £550 with drive was always my biting point. It's what I was expecting leading up to the launch. When I saw £700 without drive, nah, no chance. Didn't matter I could afford it, same when I bought the legion 4080, they wanted another £650 for the 4090 gpu upgrade, could afford it but just not worth it in my eyes

Yeah I'll stay away from that. Pretty much mirrors my thoughts on the upgrade prices for GPUs though.
