Thanks amigo! Pretty cool feature if all the devs participate. I expect the big AAAs to play ball except maybe rockstar. Need to cash in on remastered GTA V

That might swing me to stick with Xbox on the next gen as the PS5 hype is getting to me.

Not paying extra for next gen remasters is a big selling point and the fact they address Cyberpunk 2077 specifically is a bonus.

Agreed, the one thing I like about the ps5 is how they changed the controller. The old ones were a big reason why I never considered PS. I'm pretty happy with my xbox. I mainly only play multiplayer games with friends and the big releases so I'm not too arsed about exclusives either way. Not to mention a bunch of games are starting to have cross-platform matchmaking so can still play with friends no matter what system you have

GTA Online is going free to play - Xbox will get it 3 months after PS5 launch - so I don’t think rockstar will join in with the free upgrade

I was trying to rack my brain about EA games in the last gen switch but couldn’t remember if they did free upgrades so I think they won’t join in either

We'll see but they've said no microtransactions so I'm hopeful

The first two were so good. Hope it’s on par with them

EA are offering similar but doing their own version across Xbox and PS. Main difference seems to be that if you buy a physical copy you can't upgrade to a digital version on the new consoles. Well that is different for Xbox at least, Playstation haven't announced if they will have an equivalent to Smart Delivery yet.

I haven't bought a physical disc in about three years so I'm glad

I've bought quite a few second hand games over the last few years and if buying new it's almost always cheaper to pick up the physical copy. Especially if you are buying a bit after launch. I would much rather have everything on digital though as it's just much easier.

I'll be buying the PS5 with a disc drive though as I like to have the flexibility and in the long run it will work out cheaper.

Weirdly enough, I checked to see if my one had a disc drive last week because I've never used it – not even on accident

I found an old disc when I was sorting my room out a few months back, wanted to see what was on it, realised I don't have a single thing that plays discs anymore.

I mean the boy has an Xbox, but I was scared it was porn or something so threw it in the bin.
