@VectorTwoSix

I still have my PSP copy. Probably the best non-Team Silent, Silent Hill game. I really liked it. I thought the story was really good and I also liked Travis a lot. And the OST is also fantastic. I still listen to it on a regular basis

Can't hurt to ask Tea, even if you get one pre-owned, I'd really like to get my hands on a copy - thanks!

Hey all - Sony has confirmed a manufacturing issue with the Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers and as such it will no longer be listed for retail/release (until further notice).

All orders are being notified and refnds will be processed accordingly as requested by the distributor.

Sorry about that!

@MrOde - Thats a good point, I will discuss that as an option with the lostics guys for delivery upgrades.

I must say most times we dont really have an issue with Courier Guy being on time, but in outlying areas it can be rough 3-4 days but, we often try choose the service that matches the area and even ship some product a bit earlier so it arrives on launch day for thos clients where we can

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Demonstrates A Great PS5 Feature

by Sam Aberdeen on 15 June, 2020

The PS5 event which happened last week was host to a number of exciting announcements, but Ratchet & Clank fans were gifted with a new entry in the series to get excited over. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was announced for the PlayStation 5, and it looks like everything we've come to expect from the series, including plenty of self-referential satire, a colourful palette, and bonkers weapons and gameplay. However, the gameplay shown off also highlights a pretty exciting next-gen feature as well.

The gameplay of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart seems to be designed around having the ability to pull rifts/portals in real-time that transports you to new locations seamlessly. This means that levels would need to be loaded at an incredibly fast rate in order to achieve the transitions between rifts. Of course, this demonstrates the PS5's incredibly fast SSD, speeding up the loading process for games. As the system's architect Mark Cerny put it, developers can load 2GB of data in 0.27 seconds. This includes the ability to load in new levels and assets at a faster rate than normal - something that developer Insomniac Games built an entire gameplay feature around for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

In some ways, the SSD is perhaps the most important part of the PS5. As Tweak Town put it, the PS5's SSD delivers uncompressed data to other system components up to 5.5GB/sec, twice as fast as Xbox Series X's 2.4GB/sec loading capabilities. No doubt, the PS5 will push this feature to the forefront of its appeal factor, as many might have missed just how seamless and fast the transitions between loading new worlds in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart seemed to be. We can only tell how this holds up once we try the PS5 out for ourselves, but this is definitely something that developers will take full advantage of in the future.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is currently in development exclusively for PS5.
