    I had no idea it was about to drop, so missed out. There's still a pre-order option to come from Currys & Argos I believe?

    I'm not sure if I'm going to go ahead with trying to get one or not, I'd be having to buy a new TV to make it worthwhile anyway so that's an few hundred quid to add to the cost, and I've not really been much more than a casual gamer for the past few years.

    Think Curry’s is up but the website dropped it’s arse. 

    Argos pre-orders are from tomorrow.

    Yeah it comes with one, I always get a second for any multiplayer games.

    Headphones available now for £90.

    Ah, don't do much sofa co-op so that's not high on priorities.

    Will likely get a headset but won't get theirs. Maybe Turtle Beach or something like that.

    Gratz ?

    Got the blu-ray version myself, my existing PS4 is my current movie player and that will be sold off in the near future.

    Gamepads are now for sale @ £60

    Does it not come with one? Usually have the 1 with it and would need to buy any extras?

    FYI the PS5 is available to pre-order today from 9am on Amazon - gonna have to be quick, they will sell out instantly imo.

    According to yesterdays reveal the blu-ray version is £450 and the digital version is a very reasonable £360.

    Full version sold out in about 20 mins. Then about 10 mins after that the Digital Version went live which sold out in minutes.

    Luckily managed to hold off on the full version to try bag a digital version and managed it! Buzzing.

    I think I'm getting the hang of it, and enjoying it more. The biggest lesson to learn is remembering to use the revert feature followed by the manual - it isn't really explained that you have to manual after a revert to carry on the combo, but it's the secret to the big scores I'm getting now.

    The only disappointing things seem to be limited create a skater options, occasionally slow and unclear menus but biggest of all - no replay feature? I'm sure the old ones let you rewatch your run? If I'm pulling off a trick combo for 70,000 I want to see the damn thing again, and with a camera mode so I can watch it in all its glory.

    I know they’re planning a bit patch next month, including things like private multiplayer with friends, not sure if things like camera mode are coming too. 

    Create a Skater options aren’t terrible but could be better. Can’t even change height and things like that.

    Anyone else buy the Tony Hawk's 1+2 remake/remaster? Vicarious Visions have done a great job.

    It's the levels from the first 2 games (obviously) rebuilt from the ground up, albeit with some basic but essential features added from later games.

    Great nostalgia trip, plays exceptionally well...

    ...but I'm just as crap at it now as I was 20 years ago!

    Absolutely fantastic game. It’s spot on, with glorious graphics and no micro transactions.

    If we could afford to move heaven and earth to give Rooney an 18 month deal, it seems disappointing to me we couldn’t secure a new contract for a genuinely important player in Martin.

    There-in lies several massive assumptions.

    Did he even want to stay? Did we want to give him the 2+1 year deal he got? Does Cocu see him as a "genuinely important player"? How much is he getting paid now?

    All of which, the answer lies whether you're in the Martin Man Love Club, or not.

    The fan club may get over him but there is no way we will replace him - we haven’t got a pot to piss in to buy someone younger of comparable quality and no one on the books anywhere near as good. 

    Judging by this forum, the club will recover quicker than his fan club.

    No announcement but as someone else who has yet to renew I am not expecting anything in that respect.

    If I am honest I am still glad my Dad and Me didnt renew as now we can pay a tenner between us and watch together, I think a lot of people will be in similiar positions where multiple people will watch having paid one lot £10

    I suppose if one family member has a low cost season ticket for whatever reason then its a good deal to have paid that and get free rams tv, but for those paying the top rates with 2,3,4 people in the family paying them it will be interesting to see what recompense is offered to season ticket holders who have paid as they could easily have shelled out 1k,2k plus per family group for something with a value of £460, and lets face it with X amount of games on sky and people not being able to watch every game anyway its probably not worth that much.

    I would hope its not a 'lets call it quits' on the cost of Rams tv if you have a season ticket.

    Its not easy for clubs as no one knows when or if any fans will be allowed to games this coming season, im glad im not having to make decisions.

    I did wonder if those that hadnt renewed might be offered some sort of 'Rams tv' season ticket at a reduced rate, but then im happy paying casually at £10 to split the cost because i know i wont be able to watch all games anyway.

     

    I hadn't renewed yet because the date kept getting pushed back, and I obviously would have if fans were back. At this point, I hope there's an option to freeze your season ticket for a year and get your same seats for 21/22 and also not lose all the built up early bird price from over the years. 

    You're right about only one needing to it, there's about 7 or 8 season ticket holders in my family, and there's no way we'd all need to purchase it when a couple of us could and share the costs for RamsTV and watch it together.

    I just wanted to play around with the numbers a little bit: 

    As we know, the Football League consists of 72 teams in three divisions. The Carabao Cup consists of all 92 league clubs over seven rounds. In essence, they pay £119m for the rights to 3,312 live league games and 85 cup games. 

    We know the Netflix format has been discussed with regards to the Premier League, but would it end up revolutionising the Football League. 

    It would take just under 1,000,000 subscribers at £120-a-year (£10-a-month) to recoup the Sky Sports fee. It's just under 14,000 per EFL club. The club could also get their own advertising fees, etc. I would guess that the demand would depend on who would be in the Championship. I would feel confident that more than 15% of the required subscribers would come from the best 5 supported teams in the EFL, so this year: Derby, Forest, Wednesday, Sunderland and Norwich. If the product was good enough then general football fans would no doubt be interested, especially if the price isn't bad. The top clubs in the Championship generally pull over 300,000 viewers on Sky. 

    The opportunity to have access to every single game, like NFL Gamepass, would obviously have a huge pull. This could also be run in conjunction with Sky, whereby the Sky games selected are blacked out on this Netflix format. You would then, potentially, be able to get a similar deal with Sky and offer this service on top. 

     The deal we've got with Sky is extremely poor, not necessarily the fee they pay, but the terms of the deal are so restrictive. Sky REALLY don't need to have the rights to every game and then decide not to show 90% of them. The cash boost to League One and Two sides, if they were able to offer this package, would be huge. It would really offer a breath of fresh air into the lower leagues.

    The only issue could be that some fans would stop going to the games, although I personally feel that people don't go to games because they can't see it on the TV. It's a lot more than that. 

    You mention NFL, and that's key in this comparison as they've offered similar things for years. It's important to note that they do not televise games in the local area (state) if the stadium is under x% full. This is how they stop the issue of nobody attending just to watch at home.

    Drunk or stood behind a stanchion?  ?

    I’d have taken either. Hertha v Freiburg was the worst game I’ve ever seen. Union game was much better, woodwork hit a couple of times, no idea how it ended 0-0.
