I am seriously struggling to resist Sainsbury's offer of a PS4 and Uncharted 4 for £279!

My copy has arrived in the post this morning - looking forward to it as I've played the previous 3

My copy arrives today via the nice Amazon delivery lady.

Played all 3 on the PS3 and got the remastered trilogy for ps4 a while ago.

I have high hopes this is every bit as good as Among thieves.

I massively regret not getting and playing the Collection, so I'm going in to this as a 'new to the series' player.

However as it's by Naughty Dog, I have high hopes smile

I'll probably pick it up at lunch, can't get Same Day delivery from Prime, I assume they're fulfilling all the preorders today. Game are £5 more than everywhere else so I'll try Sainsbury's / Smyths at lunch.

1.02 patch download required straight of the bat - a tad over 5Gb

Can I ask just out of interest why you didn't download a copy? I've not had a PS4 for very long and downloading games still seems strange to me, I've downloaded a few games including this one but I do still wonder if there's any benefit to it versus just buying a hard copy?

PSN download is often the most expensive way to buy IME plus I like having a physical copy, but that could just be down to that's how it always was back in my day smile It took me a while to stop buying physical CDs for music for instance - if everything crashed, I'd still have the disc was my reasoning

But look at me, I don't even download music now, I stream it via Deezer - radical stuff eh? wink

Digital are more expensive and can't be sold / swapped / borrowed.

It's useful in the way that you can have the game straight away, although you still need a decent, stable internet connection to download the game then any patches.

If downloads on the PSN store were, say, 75% of the retail version then I'd probably buy them no questions asked. But this game for example is £50 on PSN and £42 in the shop around the corner, and in either instance I won't be playing until about 7pm tonight.

Plus I've always liked having a shelf full of games next to my console / TV, been that way for every Playsation or other console I've owned really, I like having the physical collection.

Spot on. Until you can re-sell digital copies of the game, I can see NO reason to buy a digital game. A physical copy can be re-sold and feels much more involved.

There was rumours recently of them introducing the ability to 'sell' digital games for about 20% back of the RRP, so it effectively just blocks or deletes the game and you get some money back.

I think that would be starting point but equal pricing is the first thing they need to address.

Swapping discs feels archaic, but the cost saving of a physical copy is persuasive.

I contacted EA and SONY about this when looking to buy Fifa 15 a couple of years ago - as it was £44.99 at game and £59.99 on DL - when I asked them how they could justify this they both blamed each other for price setting on the DL format....

Swapping and selling aside, I am excited about this game - reviews are very positive! Would this game be considered 'next gen' or more like what Far-Cry 4 was?
