[...] And honestly, with the console demand still exceeding supply, everyone still trying to buy (still at launch price) is an early adopter and therefore more economically lucrative. If you're willing to pay £70 a game then Sony should make the most of you while it can
I have to say I heartily agree with this and didn't consider the idea of a 'first adopter hangover', if you will. But, when Sony make a blog post talking about the discounts it is doing a few days beforehand for a fairly large (by its standards) event, I think I just expected a little more. Not going from 70 to 20 or anything, but 70 to 45/50, maybe? I don't think it is too deep, gets good exclusives into the hands of more gamers at a higher rate, and offers a chance for early adopters to splurge a little when they might not have otherwise. I absolutely believe in ensuring that games are priced relative to market inflation, so I do not have a problem spending that 70 on a game I want (see - Ratchet, Horizon, Uncharted, any pirate game, etc), just in case that was what it sounded like!
The jokes stuff is a bit of a test I think haha. Luke puts up with it, at least. We are just trying for a little more editorial style for our TT content, and across TA too, so we can start feeling like we are putting out a unique voice. But since I see you everywhere I go on the site (thank you, btw), please keep tabs on my jokes haha. Let me know if they grate and I'll put myself back in check!
