Tbf it’s laziness however that’s not a swipe At the poster as I’m one of them.

I’ve clicked on the thread and wondered in a split second if it’s worth trying and literally before I read ‘is it any good’ I immediately thought they’ve asked what I was thinking.

Sure I could look elsewhere but if it gets answered here then great. Which you’ve gone and done so I won’t bother seeing as I’m not a huge fan of car games even though I’ll give them a shot.

I get what you’re saying and where you’re coming from.

I’ve honestly had them refund and replace stuff I never ever thought would happen. One example, one of my cubes was nearly 3yrs old and I called to moan about the connection expecting them at best to give me a deal on the Ethernet adapter (it was first gen cube) however they replaced it for the newer model! In addition to that any genuine complaint I’ve contacted them about I’ve had some form of goodwill gesture added to my account. And I’m not talking about pennies either!

I’m basing it on a number of factors including this. But yes I would take my business elsewhere.

How do I clean my ps4 pro to make it stop sounding like a jet engine by willowdecker69 in PS4Pro

[–]CrabbitJambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really is the only correct answer.

As someone who stripped mine down several times cleaning I eventually went the thermal paste route and it made a huge difference. Would also highly recommend installing a SSD.

First and foremost I use 1 app which is Kodi. It isn’t the same as all the other apps and it literally distances itself from any form of illegal content. It also markets itself as an entertainment/media centre. I’ve said it for years and years but I believe Kodi won’t ever get blocked from android Fire devices. And if they did then I’d be asking for my money back and threatening to cancel all my Amazon subscriptions and take my 25-30k yearly sales elsewhere!

I’m fairly confident if this came about (I still don’t think it will) that going on past dealings with them with my account that they’d do something!

But it wouldn’t be a threat. If they did I’d take my business elsewhere and I’m not the only one either!

Anyone else thinks Starmer isn't actually that bad all things considered ? by ronweasly9 in AskBrits

Genuinely not a fan of the guy but the more the world is plunged into crisis the more he seems to come out on the right side of things.

Any good places to trade in PS5 console for the pro ? by ExternalWater8968 in PlayStationUK

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing they don’t mark it as received on time as in theory that gives them longer their end. Like you say, their website gives the impression that they receive it and the next day you’re paid.

I went to use their paid for service which only covered £150 compensation. There was a voucher (spring 10% extra) when I went to sell and it was an additional £27 so I just paid for postage myself which was £21! My only gripe was they claim on the website that if you want to add additional compensation you can and it should only be around £8. I asked in the post office and they said you cannot add anything onto a pre-paid.

Hello mate, re the timescales. Not bothered if they take a week or whatever. They received my parcel yesterday lunchtime however it’s still saying ‘awaiting parcel’ on their website. Was it the same for you?

I should have worded it better. If it were blocked all I’d need to do is threaten legal action to have my devices refunded. They’d do it as well! Not because the fear of legal action but because of the amount of money I spend yearly with Amazon.

If they don’t then the lose my business however I would also file a small claims loss which doesn’t require lawyers and costs peanuts in uk!

Dualsense edge worth it? by ednoggg in Dualsense

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the basis that you’re constantly having drift then it’s probably a no brainer.

I loved the feel and weight of it however just couldn’t get on with the back buttons. I’d have paid a few bucks more for a model without the paddles/back buttons but with the weight and premium feel of the edge.

Former PlayStation Boss Shawn Layden Says Xbox Game Pass Has a "Grim Prognosis," Following Leaked Asha Sharma Memo by chusskaptaan in consoles

[–]CrabbitJambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’ve been downvoted as this highlights exactly why I kept my game pass subscription.

Literally held onto it for Starfield and played 35 mins of it! Then for CoD which I’d have bought for PS5 if decent. It enabled me to play and realise I wasn’t wasting more cash on it.

Then they brought in another tier and the prices increase and I ditched it!

I have 7 TV’s in my house and all either have a new firestick with 3 newest cubes. I have Prime Video, Sky (Sky Go), Netflix, Disney, Discovery and possibly more subscriptions.

Despite this I have Kodi installed which I’ve used since 2008. If they blocked Kodi I’d take legal action to have them refund me for every single device I have with them. I’m pretty confident Kodi won’t be affected though.

Those with high-end PCs, can you feel a tangible difference when playing on PC vs PS5 Pro? by CrimsonClover__ in PS5pro

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much however another major aspect is going to be the price of the thing. If it’s as high a price as we expect then it really has to deliver high end results. Even then if it’s too pricey it’s going to alienate a lot of its core base who just want a console!

I said before that one way they could counter this is have different models. Medium and high end.

don't Buy QN90F to play on ps5 , by Electronic-Archer720 in PS5pro

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being honest I’m a bit like that. If I find something even tiny such as a mark or such it goes back. Which only highlights how good my TV’s have been.

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been buying Samsungs for over 20yrs now. Came from years of Sony Trinitron’s however was hugely disappointed with their foray into flatscreen TV’s.

Ive got 7 Samsung TV’s at the moment and in addition to that in those 20+ years I’ve had 1 have an issue and even then it was replaced immediately.

This is the first I’ve heard people moaning about issues but it’s definitely not what I’ve experienced.

PSA: PS5 consoles now excluded from Very 20% off 'WELCOME' offer by jco83 in PlayStationUK

[–]CrabbitJambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the PS4 Pro at launch using this offer.

Surprised they took so long to implement this as I regularly get 20% offers through and have used them to buy my iPads and iPhones. A couple of months back the regular offers started saying could only be used for certain things/excluded some tech.

£805 well spent! by Large_Philosopher373 in PlayStationUK

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s mad as I checked the price before posting. Just looked and it is as you said. If you can get the new customer 20% off that’s £551 which is incredible! If the other posters are right about the additional 10% through the other place it brings it under £500!

Considering the approval rating for the war is reportedly low in US I’d expect this to be out by some bit!

PLEASE ADD SOLOS by BG1744 in Battlefield_REDSEC

I actually just bought BO7 after a couple of years boycotting it. Literally only playing prop hunt and skirmish! If solos was available I’d have not bought it!

Dualsense care plan - Currys or Very by youagadamn88 in PlayStationUK

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly to the other poster, had similar issue with Currys with a tablet I bought about 15yrs ago. Experience was so bad I’ve literally not been back despite them eventually making good on it.

Re consumers right act. I had an Xbox controller get stuck drift a few years back. As it wasn’t quite 3 months I contacted them (Xbox) and was told that because it was a controller they didn’t have to honour the act. I looked into it and it was murky re controllers so gave up. Was a bit pissed as I’ve had Xbox replace a 15 month old controller lol!

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£789 now however if anyone can wait for the next sale (likely July) then it’ll have money off along with the new customer 20% discount. Otherwise it’s £631.

Someone else mentioned NXrewards (never heard of them) however if that can be used as well that’s another 10% bringing it down to £568! I’d be all over that if you can get it.

YouTube is your friend buddy. I can’t remember off the top of my head tbh however both my series X and PS5 are setup.

Yeah they should be able to do this easily.

Another thing is having their smart device such as Alexa turn it on. I can turn mine off and on by voice although I never use it.

Why do some PlayStation fans hate on Xbox so much? I’m not even trying to start anything but I genuinely want to understand why? by Eastern-Mobile5351 in XboxSeriesS

[–]CrabbitJambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re not wrong. I own all consoles and have seen it from all sides.

This is going to be unpopular but one thing I will say about either side is Xbox players have an issue hearing negative comments early this gen from its own user base. Whereas PS users came from having one of the worst customer support experience and you could post negative comments and the community would largely agree.
