  • I've only had a Vita & Switch since my PS2 so not overly familiar with modern console game availability & pricing. But there's certainly a whole host of £10-20 indie/mid-bracket titles to choose from on Switch (less so on the Vita). Though on the flipside you've got Nintendo providing the first-party titles and their commitment to barely ever having any sort of sales.

    I think the PS2 was also a bit of a peak in terms of quantity of third-party titles that were available at less than the standard full price. (Though I distinctly recall paying £40 for Croc when I got my PS1).

    Do miss the days of picking up second-hand titles for the PS1 & 2 though, something that's been all but killed off by digital downloads. Also definitely feels like devs & publishers were less risk averse then so it was common to find some more out there titles (not exactly expecting Mr Moskeeto Definitive Edition to be dropping any time soon).

  • I like the reassurance of a physical copy,particularly with cartridges. Feel like they retain resale value better.

  • Yep, and I feel like I've painted myself into a corner with my daughter probably getting her own Switch in a year or two and me having to re-buy a bunch of games that I've already bought.
