I’m considering Hogwarts Legacy but… I don’t know if it’s worth the 11€ it’s now.
Actually, it’s not about the price, but rather because Amazon Prime now includes Luna at no additional cost, and Hogwarts Legacy is one of the featured games there…
Other games I’d be interested in are still quite expensive, such as Astro Bot (50€), Marvel’s Spiderman 2 (40€), FFXVI Complete Ed (40€)… I mean, despite having a BluRay drive for physical disks, I prefer to buy digital, but I’m not spending 40 or 50€ on what are, allegedly, deals. A few years ago (PS4 time) digital AAA games in sales had a price of 10-12 maybe 16€, that’s why I bough a lot of them.
The only ones I’m tempted so far are DeathLoop at 14€, and maybe, only maybe, the pack of The Talos Principle Ultimate Collection for 35€, which includes the PS5 remake on UE5 of the awesome The Talos Principle, The Talos Principle 2, and the DLCs Road to Gehenna and Road to Elysium.

While we’re on the resident evil subject I bought RE 2,3,4 and 7 😂. Also Star Wars Outlaws, EA FC 26, and Astro Bot.and Elden Ring. Even though I have Elden Ring somewhere else already.
I don’t even have tried Ghost of Tsushima… yet. Whenever I see the complete edition at a really good price, I’ll buy it.I wish Ghost of Yotei would hack a Black Friday sale.
Good purchase. People say RE2Remake is better than RE3Remake but, you know what? I enjoyed better the RE3Remake gameplay. I also started RE4Remake, visually it’s really stunning, but there’s something off with the gameplay. Maybe it’s the fact that the original RE4 gameplay is too good still in 2025.
I haven’t played RE7, and I’m not sure I’ll like it. I’m confident that I won’t play REViIIage (8), because I played the demo and the enemies had a polygon count so low that they looked like they were coming from a PS3 game. The surface textures on the other hand, they are great. But I’m not sure I’d enjoy it. Requiem (RE9) on the other hand, looks like a must have.
So totally dumb question and to be fair man maths is at play here.
Currently have the new PS5 slim digital edition the one with the small hard drive, currently hooked up to a 49" LCD LG that is a good 7 years old.
We will be moving house in the next two weeks, so have approval to get a new TV so that is great news, will be getting 65" LG C5, always had LG TVs and really like them, I use a C1 as my PC monitor.
Now in the UK I can get the C5 for £1499 or I can get it with a PS5 Pro for just shy of £1800, now that makes the PS5 pro half price, and if I did not have a PS5 it would be an easy decision to make, however I already have a PS5.
So I guess the question is, is it worth it upgrading to the PS5 Pro for less than £300?

I bought my Pro a few months ago.
I love it, but I never had a regular PS5 to compare it to.
How about getting the Pro, and selling your PS5?
You’ll want to get the most out of your new TV.
Well the current PS5 would either end up in my office or the bedroom to be honest, could sell it, and to be fair man maths says its a half price PS5 Pro so it is worth it to go with the new big shiny TV lol
I struggled with whether to upgrade or not also. I haven't regretted doing it!
If I had a 120hz TV I'd do it for sure, I'm also debating it, but I have the og PS5 and its been great!
If you manage to sell your almost new PS5 Slim for those £300 then I’d say yes, especially if you’re going to feel your current storage short (and yes, I know you can expand it, but I preferred to have those 2TB as my internal storage and not purchase an additional NVMe).
Otherwise I’d say, wait a couple of years for the PS6. But if you’re not planning on upgrading your PS5 then yes, I’d go for the PS5 Pro and sell your current PS5 Slim.
However, keep in mind that the jump is less noticeable than from PS4 to PS4 Pro, I’d say… still for me, having those rock solid frames per second was well worth it, especially now that I’m going to jump to an 4K HDR mini-LED monitor.
I started TLOU Part 2, this evening.
I can tell it’s going to be special.

A query for all of my fellow PS5/Pro gamers:
Trying to setup remote play on my iPhone, but it searches and my iPhone doesn’t find my console?
I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, but still doesn’t find my console.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Might be a silly question but have you enabled it on your Playstation? Logged into remote play app as your PSN account you signed in with on the Playstation?
I always had a hard time choosing between performance mode and quality mode. Getting a Pro was the solution for this. Take away the dilemma, choose ease of mind, get a Pro. ;-)
Would appear I might have accidently clicked on a buy button and now have a PS5 Pro lol
I’ve been playing to one of the free games from December’s PS Plus Essential… it seems like one of the least known from the offered, but I’m loving it.
Neon White.
Give it a try. It’s a really refreshing platforming experience.
I’m afraid that PS6 will probably be my last console ever…

Congratulations. I’m playing less and less this days, despite there being awesome games, but they all require too much time and focus, more than what I have… and I’d really like to play a few jRPGs, but more and more I want quick 15’-20’ sessions, something Fortnite povides…

On another note: I bought Deathloop. And while I loved the beginning, and the aesthetics, artistic and graphic department, I’m starting to feel it a bit linear… I was expecting a more sandbox experience. I don’t know, I expected it to be… better? But I guess it’s too soon to evaluate it.
I finished that game and liked it a lot. Bought it for a low price a while back and had lots of fun with it. Wouldn't mind a Deathloop 2.
Yes but… can I revisit the zones any time I want to? Because so far, it’s structured like in episodes, and once you cross the first door that finishes the tutorial zone, you cannot go back. Same after the second zone, you arrive at your own flat, and they tell you “you can now abandon the zone despite having more things to do”… and it looks like the next zone is a different one. Honestly I was expecting more like a sandbox game where I can explore what I want when I want and progress at my own pace, not being carried by the devs’ hand in such a linear way.
Also, I’m not ambidextrous, so carrying one weapon on my left trigger and another one on my right trigger feels cumbersome for me. And I cannot aim the gun on my right trigger because oops! I shoot with my left weapon.
Some of the levels you'll encounter are really clever!
Eventually you'll be able to do what you want but you have to figure out how to do things in a certain order to "solve" the game.
