A PS Vita owner created his own custom analog stick modification kit to add Xbox One analog sticks to their PlayStation Vita.
Who would have thought that giving games away for free would be so lucrative?
For the first few years of this generation, a number of industry analysts argued Sony may need to add first-party games to PS Plus at launch in order to maintain pace with Xbox Game Pass.
The Japanese giant, to its credit, always maintained its position that this was unsustainable. It later added tiers to its subscription offering, providing good value with PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium without going all-in like its Redmond rival.
Microsoft has since missed a number of targets with its own service, and has subsequently started releasing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Sony’s console.
Back in the day, there were even discussions and I believe statements from Spencer about wether Sony would allow Game Pass on Playstation.
At least for the time being this option seems definitely to be ruled out completely.
PlayStation Plus is getting a price rise in Australia and other global regions, with subscribers set to pay a few dollars more on each tier.
Sadly the price increases are expanding to Australia and likely other regions beyond.
Seems like it's best to stack now if you're in the position to do so
You gotta love the attitude people had before: "Price hike! NO, THIS IS TERRIBLE, I HATE—wait ... South America? lol ok."
It starts hitting closer to home and now we're worried. It was always a concern and people should have always treated it that way.
Funny enough, Sony is likely losing subscribers with every price hike, and all they're doing is offering the beefed up service to fewer people. Doubtful this offsets the lost subs.
Haven't had Plus in years, and I don't miss it. And frankly, with the way things are going, I just don't see myself getting into the next generation either. Increased reliance on AI, stagnant gaming experiences despite better tech, untenable budgets, increased cost to consumers, tendency to push GaaS, very long development cycles, weak/non-existent digital rights protections, poor global economy, tariff madness.
It's probably a better use of my time to double down on my other hobbies. Can't speak for others, but it wouldn't be surprising if the market crashes because enough people come to the same conclusion.
I wouldn't complain, they're bloody comfortable sticks to use. Looks a tad goofy on the vita due to the length of them but if it works well, why not? =)
i might buy this.
I don't approve of using Xbone parts on the gorgeously engineered Vita. That's like putting junkyard hubcaps on a Ferrari.
and then he utterly destroys everyone in Killzone Mercenary
Funny how PS4 fanboys claim the PS4 controller is the best. Yet why doesn't this have a PS4 analog stick? Why doesn't Oculus come with a PS4 controller? Why do 90% of third party controllers on both platform look like Xbox controller knockoffs?
Say what you want about MS but the truth is Xbox controllers have always been the best, except the original which was too big for a lot of people but after that everything was top notch.
