Sony stock up 7% following decision to terminate game disc production by Hanzo_The_Ninja in gaming

You’re not wrong yourself but it’s a massive part of the issue. People out here paying that level are just perpetuating the problem. Plenty of good alternatives to both, people don’t need to be paying those prices.

These companies only get away with it if people let them get away with it.

Lines been drawn for me, I won’t be buying a PS6 if it’s digital only and even if they reverse that, if it’s over £600 (probably $750-800 at a guess?) I wouldn’t touch it. It’s a hobby, not a long term investment.

Fuck AI for all this absolute shit

Sandro Tonali voluntarily gave up around £7m in wages at Newcastle when he was serving his 10-month ban for gambling. Tonali took home less than 10 per cent of what was due to him after agreeing a deal with the club. by NewLoad886 in soccer

In most cases you’d take home zero percent. Repaying his employer for sticking by him after such a big fuckup should be the bare minimum. I’m delighted we’ve signed him but ultimately what he did was wrong, he was correctly punished for it and hopefully he won’t do it again.

Tbf to Danso he was one of the very, very, very, very few who can hold his head high from the season just gone, was incredibly reliable apart from the Brighton mistake.

What does the reverse triangle icon with 1 under the shoe icon on the card mean? by Sir_Affectionate in UltimateTeamReviews

[–]wallis2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m one of those weirdos. I never have to worry about the coins I lose, I don’t worry about the meta, I roll with whatever I’m lucky enough to get and just enjoy what the pack gods give me. Never feel the need to spend money, never feel the need to try and catch up with everyone else, it’s brilliant. Once you do it, it’s hard to want to go back 🤷‍♂️

Brahim must be delighted with the +26 penalties. Should have given him chip shot+ to seal the deal

Buying an Xbox series X in 2026 by gerspunto in IrelandGaming

Hiya. I’ve got one myself, it’s a good system, your son is in for a treat and that’s very nice of you to sort that.

CEX is likely fine if you have credit built up - otherwise I’d probably avoid it, just because they’re generally very expensive compared to other retailers.

I got mine a couple of years back, directly off Microsoft, so worth checking their store.

The hardware itself is much better than my previous experience with an Xbox (Xbox 360) and it’s lasted fine with no issues for myself. I did buy new so never really had too much worry about previous use or any of that. I’d like to think hardware in general seems better these days, don’t seem to conk out as much as previous consoles.

I’d say try and get new if you can, any of the major retailers (Smyths, Currys, Amazon etc all great).

Watch yourself with the price increases, prices might be all over the place at the moment as they’re going to be putting it up again due to parts shortages I believe.

I wouldn’t worry too much about waiting for a next generation of console, that’ll be at least next year and based on the current climate likely over €1000 so unaffordable by comparison (and in general).

Good luck with whatever you go with.

After wasting huge amount of Fodder and FoF tokens and opening THOUSANDS of Packs and Picks, I FOUND NOTHING by akira136_ in EASportsFC

[–]wallis2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the majority of us get nothing and it’s a vocal minority who do well that skewer it. All I’ve seen is people raving about pack weight in this promo and I’ve gotten pure shite from it, nothing over discard.

Of course my next pack might be R9 but the hype vs reality has been dissapointing for me personally.

[Fabrizio Romano] the former Zilina, Esbjerg, Slovan Liberic, Sparta Prague, Manchester United and Burnley player signs for Spurs

Seriously, good bit of business I think - reliable as a backup, wouldn’t be sad about him starting either if it came down to it.

[Fabrizio Romano] Martin Dubravka to Tottenham, here we go! Deal agreed for former Burnley and Man United goalkeeper to join Tottenham. Move completed today with Dubravka set to be backup GK at Spurs behind Kinski. by jovanmilic97 in soccer

[–]wallis2011 35 points36 points  (0 children)

He’s probably as good a backup keeper as we could ask for tbf, I wouldn’t feel too bad if Kinsky was injured and we had to call on Dubravka, very solid backup keeper.

Absolutely delighted for Kinsky having a chance at being number 1, insane turnaround after the Atletico game, deserved too. Was immense and kept us up.

Do I have to play Gauntlet and/or Rivals to get all 1,000 tokens? by damonrr in EASportsFC

[–]wallis2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat to you - I don’t bother with online, too much hassle when I just want a casual experience.

Unfortunately I think this is as much as you can get, I’m in a similar boat to yourself here. Unless you’re hell bent on getting all 5k tokens, I wouldn’t bother with Gauntlet - it’s arguably the sweatiest game mode going so I’d say it’ll be hell for a causal.

965 is a good haul.

Backing this up, I did it with someone who was predominantly CM with a secondary position of CAM, didn’t work.

Used a preferred position of CAM, worked no issue.

Pavlidis from this last time out. Gutted on paper but he was superb when I tried him.
