I can't be bothered dealing with crap like that. Which one Steve? I'll boot them off and de-friend them for that. PM me if you'd prefer. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-pandemic charity shops made a good amount off of these products, but with the lockdown and people doing clear outs, they've pretty much all stopped accepting books, dvds and cds and places like CEX will give you pennies for your DVDs. I dropped off a whole load of books with Cancer Research today, they were very happy to take them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 57xx Posted October 7, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2022 Ubisoft has a sale on at the moment, up to 80% off some games. I got a few bargains earlier today as you can also get another 20% off by redeeming the FRESH code. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only had one 'Murican friend, part of a group of GT Planet guys, I fell out with him (and playground politics being what it is most of them) so if that was them worry not. It's mostly me, another Steve, Dan and Ian. Some of the other lads contribute occasionally and sometimes we're actually complimentary about GT7! C6T. I've put you back on the list Stevie (it's invite only afaik). Edited October 10, 2022 by Classsix T 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the local ones here wany any books or otherwise sadly. Moving out of my flat into my other halfs house has rather forced a downsizing of the book collections and DVD collections. CD collection trimming and vinyl collection trimming will probably have to follow when we get to those boxes. Not something I like doing, but needs much. At least with the DVDs and CDs I can get something, even if it is pennies sometimes compared with the books which I can't really get anything for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Latest from Chez Sixty is I'm in-between racing seasons in GT7 so have been caning GoT Legends. Previous error gamebreaks have been intermittent, sometimes plays just fine, occasionally iffy and just the once yesterday the game crashed. Error reports are being sent to PlayStation...so the ball is in their court I guess. I'm leaning towards a hardware issue my end though given other's lack of problems. In other news, GTA Vice City has been added to PSPlus Extra and Premium, so I'll get to see how poorly that's been ported. Finally, I'm hearing good things about A Plague Tale: Requiem so will likely buy that before long having enjoyed the first game. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the original PSVR and it was fun to play around with for a while but it wasn't worth owning. Folks tell me via the comments that the price is more or less comparable with the previous kit (without the need for a camera), they concur that if VR doesn't 'grab' you it'll likely gather dust. PSVR2 is considerably less expensive than the re-furb MacBook I bought (and lord knows I don't use that much) so I'm not baulked by that price...I'd be keen to try before I buy though for sure. C6T.

I'm having game breaking issues so far with GT7 and GoT. Graphics glitches followed by crashes. Google brought up this page: https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/ce-108255-1.html ... which seemed to fix issues with GT7 initially. But GoT has started playing up something chronic. Both games are physical disc versions so I guess all I'll get off tech support is that the disc is manky. Hoping it isn't actually a hardware issue. C6T. Latest on this is that I factory reset the console last weekend...and it's even worse! I did manage to rule out the Samsung SSD and physical disc data as a culprit though as Astro's Playroom fell over within three minutes and that's a digital title pre-installed on the PS5's own 'drive. The above is from Ghost of Tsushima which is at least far less prone to crashing, note the missing limbs. Also, the coloured flecks which appear as flashes all over the display. I'm no computer expert but I would hazard a guess that the GPU is up the poke. I'll be on to Sony about repair or replacement next week. C6T.

Lord knows I'm not a complainer of prices in general, but doesn't that effectively double the price of the console? I'd probably want immersion akin to that of Red Dwarf's Better Than Life if I was to shell out for all that kit... Best Scott. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also get thumbgrips that go on top of the thumb sticks which could be a cheap option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 My DualShock4 started showing signs of stick drift, as a coloured ltd edition job I'm reluctant to spend another £65 to replace it. This morning however I are mostly been going around in perpetual circles on the PlayStation website. It asking me what's up, me telling it and being directed via two more pages to the page asking me what's up. Great job Sony. So for those wondering, the (anti-spambot adjusted) number to add to contacts for future PS hardware issues is: O2O3 538 2665. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 In a turn of events worthy of the best built-in obsolescence theory, PlayStation inform me that the flat rate for PS5 repair will be around £250...the warranty (one year only) ran out three months ago.
