@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.

For niche titles it's okay. Problem is I play mainly bigger titles. Games are expensive enough as is. If I can save 50 bucks, use my ebucks (which some retailers allow) then I'm definitely going with another retailer.

Basically if I have to choose between paying delivery or not I'm going to go for not paying for delivery. On top of that, I find my Nexus orders are usually delayed. I don't think I've ever received a game on release day which is annoying when you're paying extra for delivery especially. And often you have to ask where it is which I don't think the customer should have to do, that's part of customer service.

Gran Turismo 8 Heats Up Following New Polyphony Job Listings

by Sam Aberdeen on 08 September, 2026

It’s almost inevitable to expect a new Gran Turismo game every PlayStation generation and right on schedule, it seems like developer Polyphony Digital is already hard at work on Gran Turismo 8. This is according to new job listings at the company seeking various roles and positions for a “new Gran Turismo project.”

First spotted by Insider Gaming, several job listings suddenly appeared on Polyphony Digital’s website seeking the following roles:

Build Engineer
Online Engineer
Front-End Engineer
Racing Game Programmer
Application Programmer
Pipeline Tool Programmer
Graphics Programmer
Sound Programmer
Game AI Programmer
Vehicle Simulation Programmer
Game Engine Programmer
UI Designer
GT Explore Studio
CG Artist
Technical Artist

Interestingly, the job description of the Vehicle Simulation Programmer states: “The Vehicle Simulation Programmer will work to improve the vehicle simulation engine of the Gran Turismo series, and recreate mechanisms unique to individual cars.” This suggests the next game will have a stronger focus on realism and highly accurate vehicle handling.

This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard about a new Gran Turismo project being in the works. Earlier this year, Polyphony Digital posted the first batch of job listings seeking devs to work on a new Gran Turismo, though now we have further confirmation that something is in the pipeline.

Polyphony Digital is winding down work on Gran Turismo 7 with the upcoming Spec IV update to be one of its last major additions. Development will then shift to the next Gran Turismo (if it hasn’t already), which will presumably launch on PS6.

Gran Turismo 7 launched in March 2022 and apparently accumulated between 14 and 15 million sales, making it one of the most successful first-party games from PlayStation this generation. With that momentum, it’s no wonder that Polyphony Digital – which has specialised in Gran Turismo’s development since its humble beginnings on the PS1 – will continue that streak, especially with the new technology that will be afforded by the more powerful PS6 console.
