  • This is a tricky one, though, isn’t it?

    The end price of the console is ultimately set by the retailer. The retailer will typically make that price higher than they got it from the manufacturer. Some of that cost was paid by the retailer as tariffs, maybe some extra manufacturing costs were higher because of tariffs.

    Who is getting the refund? A Japanese company? Or the Americans who had to pay tariffs? Either way, Sony don’t sell directly to the consumer, so the retailers would have to be gifted a refund by Sony, and then choose to trace and refund their customers.

    I’m I completely wrong about this? How should this work?





  • Not that is should be a valid response, but you can jail break PlayStations to play whatever game you have a “back up” copy of. That tends to be my method of playing legacy PS games because it’s easier than dealing with discs.

    At the end of the day, console gaming is a different product to PC gaming. That’s more obvious with Nintendo, but overall expectations should be different.


  • The comparison still doesn’t make sense. You can’t play a PlayStation disc on a different platform. If you buy a disc on console you are locked to that ecosystem.

    Sony are doing this because not enough people buy discs to make it worth manufacturing, and PC gamers should know this because this new age of digital gaming started with the PC. Switching to PC just proves their point.

    Neither, because you don’t turn into a vampire by being bitten by one (otherwise the vampire population with increase exponentially until everyone on earth is a vampire), and to become a zombie the zombie bites you.

    But I’m pretty sure this is one of those posts that are deliberately incorrect to drum up engagement.
