Hey @Tea, any chance you can organise a copy of Silent Hill Origins for me? Doesn't matter which platform

@IkariX it's a good thing IDGAF about your opinion then, lol
It may surprise you to know that other people have different experiences to your own. But I know that concept may be too far out of reach for you.

As for Nexus, I don't know why you ban people that have legitimate points relating to polls you create. None of what I said was out of line, but clearly you prefer sycophants like IkariX on the forum instead of customers who have legitimate criticism of your logistics (which you make us pay for).

Nexushub has the best customer service no doubt. I have had other retailers that don't care about restocking on sold out titles but yet nexushub helped get me townfall steelbooks and control resonant steelbooks even though they were sold out. No one cares about delivery fees as long as you get the physical game in good condition like I have, especially steelbooks which can be fragile.

@DarkWingDuck

I'm going to call [censored] on your post. I've been buying from Nexus since the AnimeWorx days from about 2008. I have literally never ever had bad customer service from NexusHub. So you are being disingenuous. I don't think you appreciate the great lengths they go to, to get these games for us. But enjoy your other retailers and their[censored] service.

MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.

HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though )

I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

My backlog is so big I don't care how late I get my orders lol haven't even played FF7 Rebirth or even Stellar Blade yet, but that's just me.

I'd actually go even further and say do standard free shipping for all orders above R1000 but allow an express shipping option/add on for those that want to pay extra. I would gladly pay extra to get whatever I ordered the day after I order it.

Shipping costs on games? What's that?

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).

I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens
On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.

I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

I mean if I can save money, why wouldn't I?

Are there circumstances where I would pay that extra without thinking twice about it, yes. In general there's little reason to do so.

That said, touching on Darkwing's point of eBucks, payment options feel like a lot bigger point than the R50 delivery. Lot of places offering rewards, pay later, etc. Those are big pull points for customers.

How much would "free delivery for orders over R 1000" affect your decision to more purchases from Nexus Hub?

From news we can gather, the controller is most interesting.

It clearly has improved analog sticks, as well as improved shoulder buttons (namely L2/ R2).

The touch pad functions as an additional button, and is multi touch for 2 points of contact.

THe d-pad also looks to be an improvement.. sort of resembling the PSV.

The light on the top uses three color LEDs that illuminate in various colors. This can be used to indicate player colour, or provide feedback such as a health indicator etc.

Still looks like a 360 control raped a duelshock.

Looks pretty comfy overall though, still cant believe they had that conference and all we saw of the damn thing was the controller lol.

Love it...if it's anything like the Xbox controller, it'll be a lot more comfy, just hope it isn't as heavy though. But overall...I really like the look of it, really cool!

They really did just jam the touch screen in there didn't they.
don't see why they couldn't have put it on the back like the vita.
when i look at it all i can think of is those cheap 3rd party madcatz controllers. that said it does look comfy, especially if it has the vita d-pad which is actually my favourite dpad of all the current consoles out

as for the actual hardware i was pretty impressed, no more need to worry about streaming equipment(which should save me couple bucks hopefully)
the suspend mode sounds like a dream, since my attention span with games these days has decreased drastically rofl. pretty much all they have to sell me on is the games now, haven't seen anything interesting yet(Square Enix's flop of a presentation last night didn't help either). but all my favourite dev's were listed at the presentation so here's hoping something interesting pops up at E3(points at SE).

Or on the front and back like the Vita. I just hope they don't develop games that are TOO touch screen operated, it can get annoying at times, almost like QTE's does...

Agreed, but they shouldn't make it a function in each and every game. I loved UC on PSV, but I stopped playing it now due to the amount of touch screen crap you need to do, there is just too much of it in that game. It really gets annoying. LBP has a great balance of touch screen and gameplay imo...UC just killed it

Don't have an issue with the controller and don't care if no one uses the touch pad. I am just relived it's an actual controller and not some stupid tablet or move type thing.

Yeah - i think it looks great and a decent design upgrade to the normal dualshock design. That been the basic design since psOne days.

The touch panel will be most practical if used as a mouse cursor type control, especially in rts / puzzle/ strategy games. but again, not a biggy if they (developers) never use it. At least at heart the PS4 controller is still the some as the present design, which i love

I like the redesign of the analog sticks, mine took some serious punishment from SSX and the top rubbery bit is loose now lol.

Those look alot more sturdy to ware and tear

what exactly is the problem with that? They are enhancing the social features of the PS experience and a camera is a large part of that for many people.
