If you could only get one, latest xbox or latest ps?

Tough one that. I'd say PS5. Especially now they have made PS Plus a gamepass competitor

@chris-osborne Yeh a mate of mine keeps getting his car pushed back and back, literally every week!

If your going to get one as long as there not too expensive, I'd get one now.

There's a global shortage of electrical components which is causing massive issues within the supply chain - won't bore you with work related things too long. We're seeing lead times which used to be a few weeks being extended to over a year in alot of cases and also prices going through the roof.

If anyone's tried to buy a new car lately this will be the reason why delivery times are months.

Are PS5s easy to get hold of now without paying premium prices?

Curry’s look like they have some today. Apparently they are and will get easier across the next couple of months. I got very lucky last year on Very so make sure you check them out. Argos worth keeping an eye on too. They seem to get them regularly.

I signed up to the turkish PSN from one of the tutorials/links on hotukdeals. ended up costing £20 for the whole year for the top tier membership (you don't get the streaming ps3 games in turkey though). Once you've got a turkish account and DL'd a game to your machine you can play it on your UK PSN account.

Some absolute bargains on there, the games are way cheaper. Picked up Sekiro for a tenner the other day, it's twice that on the UK one. Brand new releases like Horizon and Elden Ring are only £30. Well worth a look!

Will call you Demir from now on!! I'll have a look at that. Nice one

@john-folan cracker!

Ryan

@matt-wood Phew! I was going to say....

Cracking film, need to watch it again actually.

I'd have Gladiator and Van Wilder on my top 20 I think.

Martin

@john-folan yeah it puts you off ever paying full price for a game doesn't it!

John Folan

@martin Joshua has Gamepass it saves me a fortune. Ive got addicted to Prison Architect on the ps5 the last couple of days. Such a stupid fun little game. It’s bad isn’t it? Gamers are almost as moany as Star Wars fans and that’s saying something lol

Martin

@john-folan I've got Gamepass on Series S and love it but I don't get to play much, luckily it's only ever £1 a month. I agree about people moaning in gaming it's crazy, feel for developers they must get sick to death of it!

John Folan

Anyone got the new PlayStation Plus tiers? I’ve taken the extra as I won’t play the old stuff anyway. Actually pleasantly surprised by the stuff on there. Some absolute quality games. Despite all the bitching and moaning on social media. Can’t please anyone these days.
