    Pre-ordered the phat PS5 just for Demon's Souls. Great game for day one. Looks incredible and I did not have a PS3 so it will be all new to me.

    Lame points from the new announcements:

    1. Spiderman Miles Morales, Sackboy and Horizon Forbidden West are also coming to PS4. Jim Ryan said on the previous event that they "believe in console generations", people also used that clear cut to take jabs at Xbox because they were also going to keep the current Xbox around for bit and release their games both on the old and the new ones.

    2. Videogames are increasing in price to 79 USD/EUR, that's pretty insane. Sony could have kept their own games prices and see what 3rd parties do with their prices and then increase down the road, but my theory is that they are losing more money on the hardware than what they expected to match XSX and be closer to the XSS. Specially on the PS5 with no Blu-ray drive. Publishers have leaked Sony is also manufacturing less units of this model.

    • I got a PS3 a few months ago to play DS, looking forward to it all!jaylarson
    • Wait, wtf would digital be more expensive than a disc copy? I figure it'd be opposite?Nairn
    • Wondering the same. Maybe the costs they'll incur from streaming those 200gb titles to your console and other cloud storage features?SteveJobs
    • yup, it is stupid but digital games at least here in EU are 10 euros more than the same game on disc on Amazonernexbcn
