I mean I still have rdr2, detroit become human, ghost of tsushima, and a bunch of others to play. I can wait til I don't have to fight people off to get one off a shelf.

I have to say, I'm so fully emmersed in demon souls and I think a lot of it is the load times.

It's just such a good game but with this new technology it's not nearly as annoying when you died over and over again (lol) and have to start back at the beginning when it's nearly instantaneous.

I might have to try demon souls. I beat spider man and it was pretty but that DS game looked awesome.

For real. I love Bloodborne and Dark Souls, but those loading screens are a beating when you die/travel place to place. The SSD completely changes the experience.

And it's probably never going away so long as we buy things digitally and so many people lack the ability to delay gratification.

It's not capitalism - black markets are worse under communism.

Exactly, this happens because Sony doesn't appropriately price the first batch of consoles at the astronomical price they should command. They would get crucified if they did, but that would be by people that don't understand capitalism.

Ummm consumers letting companies know their disatisfaction is part of capitalism. Capitalism doesn't mean just taking whatever bull**** companies want to do. Sony doesn't raise the price for one reason:. It's in their long term interest not to do so. It's not somehow outside of capitalism. Short term price hikes on a secondary market exist because that dude on Craigslist doesn't care if you hate them. Sony still wants to sell you things so they do. That is 100% capitalism.

Not to mention that people would still buy them and prices would just get jacked up even more on the secondary market.

Just purchased one from Kohl's here after seeing it trend on twitter:

https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-4819741/product.jsp

edit: Total was $693 which includes Spiderman ultimate edition plus $180 in Kohl's cash. Don't know if that's a good deal or not but I said what the hell and pulled the trigger.

I don't typically shop at Kohl's but if they're given me $180 to spend surely I can find something there for Christmas gifts with that money so it sounds like it will make up for the additional money spent. Have an order number but no confirmation email yet but they did charge my card.

edit: says to be delivered between Nov 27-Dec 4. We'll see what happens.

Just got one too. Thanks. Now I just need to think about whether or not I want to sell my digital or this one.

EDIT: that being said no email conformation so will probably not get it.

Of course it drops at Kohls when I'm sleeping. I also heard there was a big Best Buy drop at 5 am. WTF retailers?

Your username suggests that you cannot interact with your environment without changing it.

The $180 Kohl's cash was emailed to me at 8:49 this morning.

edit: I am seeing quite a few people saying they got a confirmation email and also the Kohl's cash email and then a cancelation so not out of the woods yet. Does still say In Fulfillment.

My order said it was in fulfillment and I was super happy, then 5 mins ago got the dreaded cancellation email. At least I'll get to keep the Kohl's cash. Super bummed.

Damn. Sorry to hear. It's strange how the cancelation emails have just kept coming in random batches throughout the day.

I passed on the Kohls deal because I only want a PS5 Digital to play Demon's Souls, same as the PS3 for the OG and PS4 for Bloodborne. Kinda getting anxious to get one, tho.

I got mine right after you posted about it and I'm not cancelled so you are probably good.
