How much would PS4's drop in price around Christmas? 

[Benji]

I doubt the console itself will drop as Christmas the things will sell themselves. More likely to see individual stores drop prices I'd guess. I could be totally wrong though.

[Baddar]

Imagine you'll get a decent saving around Black Friday.

I think there's a chance that some of the older models will go on offer to clear stock, but I don't think there'll be an "official" price cut.

How much is it now, around the £200 mark?

[Benji]

Aye, FIFA bundle is that price brand new.

Reinstalled Stardew Valley for the PC in anticipation for the Switch version.  Quickly realized that while the PC controls aren't bad, the Switch controls should be excellent for this.

Also, should you want a relaxing game, go nab Steamworld Dig 2.  Improves on the original in some decent ways and can just be a chill game to play.

Metal Goose Solid

I hope it keeps (untitled goose game) as its title.

Silly Benji, but then it becomes a Titled Goose Game.

Started playing Metal Gear Solid V last night. Is that entire opening sequence designed solely to test my patience?

[apsham]

That game really kinda takes a bit to get going sadly.

It's a strange prologue/tutorial because the rest of the game doesn't really play much like that. While the hospital section is a slow trawl through a confined space, almost everything afterwards takes place in a freer open world setting.

I should bloody hope that you don't spend the rest of the game crawling about on your belly at a snail's pace, anyway.

I hear they had it start like that because it was originally (untitled Snake game).

I was looking for an appropriate image to go with the whole metal goose solid thing I wanted to make a funny out of, so I googled it and for some reason this was one of the results:
