Si

Also, the game is going to retail for like 70$ was considering pre-ordering, saw the price and noped.

 

All 3 verions are $59.99 according to amazon, where are you seeing $70? If there is a $70 version it's probably a digital deluxe or some such.

My mistake, you are correct.  Could have sworn it was like 65$ or something on amazon when I looked yesterday.  Though ebgames is showing 69.99$ for ESO. Mind you so is destiny and various other games.

Going to the Canadian site it shows $69.99 for me. Maybe they're still place holder prices.

Future shop is showing it as 65$.  I think the price of games has gone up here lately because of the Canadian dollar.

I don't own either console yet, but I think I know which one I'm going to get.

Not really relevant, there's no netflix in Australia anyway.

Other PSN games require PS Plus for online games, really a moot point

Sorry for my ignorance, but is this the online Skyrim game with no dragons?

Check the thread on here about it.

It's essentially single player but you see what everyone else is doing at the same time and have to pay monthly for it.

So Sony have given them an exemption then?

 

Seems so. Sony said all free MMO's would never require PS+, but they never mentioned paid ones. Maybe all paid ones will follow suite of TESO, or it will be on an ask basis. I guess FF14 will be the next paid PS4 MMO.

 

Paid MMOs are beginning to be a bit of a dying beast anyway.

 

edit: Just answered my own remark, FF14 will not require PS+

Maybe Sony is getting a share of the subscription fees then.

 

Or they just don't see the need to paywall a game that already has a paywall? Not saying you couldn't be correct, but hypothetical rebuttal, does MS get a slice of the Netflix sub?

 

However

 

Square Enix managed to strike a deal with Sony so that the PS4 version of the game will not require a PlayStation Plus subscription. There will also be no difference in subscription cost with the current versions.

"Strike a deal" is interesting...

I would much rather see a pay for what you play thing. Hourly rate or something like that. Often I may not play a game for several months or whatever. I go back n forth with Skyrim as it is, no way I could pay a monthly rate knowing I may only play it a couple hours here and there. It's the only thing that has always kept me away from MMO's like this.

Yeah, this won't go over well.

If Sony made a deal with these developers in order to exempt them from requiring ps+, then that puts a lot of pressure on MS.

MS is not against allowing mmos to be exempt from requiring Gold in the past though, so I wonder if we will see this change before this game launches.

Interesting, I am not surprised due to how Microsoft has their tiered (Gold and Silver) account levels set up. I will just wait for the game to be free then download it and buy the sub. I can see this happening in under a year. Its ridiculous that you have to pay $60 just to pay $15 a month afterwords. I don't image this being a big issue as most people who have live are gold members.

It might be hosted on azure servers but MS isn't hosting any of the ESO server stuff on their xbox live servers so no, it quite clearly and obviously doesn't.

If MS is allowing them to use those servers for free, then that would change the discussion. They did say they were providing free access to developers, so who knows.

Any "beating the dead horse" comments won't be tolerated. News is news. Discuss it civilly or not at all.

I wonder if those talks are still ongoing or if its a done deal. Time will tell.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
