All that means is gamestop has been struggling and decided to take on more preorders then they could fill in hopes that they could fulfill them. Now they can't and are blaming it on Sony. I'm guessing it could be an automated email because the bundled Destruction AllStars game got delayed, but some clarification from them sure would be nice.

I think the open game chats is what they were looking to go after The open game chats are brutal. It's like people in their cars. Everyone is a tough guy or insensitive when they have the veil of anonymity. I either dont have them on or am in a private party chat with my friends im playing with.

Sony came out and clarified what they meant Jensen now confirms Sony will not be actively listening in on voice chats whatsoever when the feature launches with the PS5 next month. "Its sole purpose is to help in reporting of inappropriate behavior, including actions that violate our Community Code of Conduct,” she writes. "Please note that this feature will not actively monitor or listen in on your conversations – ever – and it’s strictly reserved for reporting online abuse or harassment.
October 27, 20205 yr I think we're getting a handful of PS5's in surplus to the pre-orders at work. From the convo I heard they're keeping them aside in case there are any faulty consoles so they can swap them. I'm assuming that's going to be the case with most retailers so there may be limited stock available on launch day

Oddly enough, some dude from Chi area is buying my whack GameStop bundle. He has pre-paid me just over half to take on that monstrosity. Something I normally would have cancelled after getting a standalone from Target (I think?) and then a few days later getting direct from PlayStation the 3rd. The Sony one I'll definitely "keep" since they'll know what serial number they're shipping me anyways lmao. On 10/26/2020 at 3:58 PM, we_gotta_believe said: I think this was the garbage game they threw in as part of the gamestop bundle I got. Not sure what this means for the bundle now, but hopefully they'll substitute it out for something that doesn't suck. The Chi guy I mentioned above messaged me like the second that was announced. Basically being like "do you think they will deduct the cost of the game from the bundle now because the game will be free with PS+ for a few months?!?" and basically expecting me to have the answers so he knows how much he'll have to pay.... not someone I know well, so part of me is temped to just cancel the pre-order and refund him the amount he's already pre-paid me. On 10/26/2020 at 7:52 PM, we_gotta_believe said: Just got an email that my order from game stop is "delayed by the manufacturer" whatever that means. Guess I'm all in on Amazon now. I got the same delay from GameStop. Same dude I described above also messaged going "do you think the delay is just specific to Destruction All Stars and not the console/bundle as a whole?!?!?" and I was (politely) like "dude, I dunno, sounds like its the entire thing". Ughhh... since I'm kind and selling at cost since its someone I "know", I'm tempted to just cancel and refund because I didn't sign up to micromanage and do all this other work for free.

Cyberpunk will probably just keep getting delayed til then anyway at this rate I pre-ordered at best buy because the $10 gift certificate to do it matches Amazons $49.99 they keep doing, PS4 version will give me PS5 version, and Best Buy is also throwing in a free steelbook case... not that it matters, but it's free ish and possibly cheaper than PS5? Tho it seems like most of the games available on PS4 and PS5 are being priced the same as one another? Does anyone know if I'm incorrect in that?

Tho it seems like most of the games available on PS4 and PS5 are being priced the same as one another? Does anyone know if I'm incorrect in that? I know I bought NBA2K21 the ps5 version and it costs more then the ps4 version. It might depend on the game. I'm not doing anything right now let me see what I can dig up
October 28, 20205 yr @Agent23 there does not seem to be a clear price point. Some games like call of duty NBA2K21 and a couple others are 70 bucks for the ps5 version. Watchdogs assassin's creed and few others are 60 for both versions. I do know some of those studios stripped down their games completely to put everything in it to make it truly next gen like NBA2K21 so maybe it's those developers that are charging the extra 10 bucks.
October 28, 20205 yr interesting... the whole overlap is a bit odd since the PS4 purchase seems to get ps5 access on all those titles
October 28, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Agent23 said: interesting... the whole overlap is a bit odd since the PS4 purchase seems to get ps5 access on all those titles It is, it's definitely cloudy and after looking through most of the games and prices I can't really get a grasp on why some are charging 70 over 60. The only thing I can come up with is what I mentioned about some developers completely stripping their game down to put everything into the next gen. Also yes there is a huge selection of games that you can upgrade for free to ps5 so that makes it even more cloudy on what exactly they are doing.

Assuming this is the same one! It was! and yo sony found out about it and went after them about it. However, they just told them they have to change their name and they will be cool. Speculation is that sony is probably working on theirs and that's why they didn't get to fired up about a knock off.
