I may not drop onto the Island as much now as I did when I was a uni student living off Pot Noodles and ignoring deadlines, but I still find time to jump on whenever a new season releases or a character I love gets turned into a griddy-hitting skin.Yes, I do mean Peter Griffin....

That’s currently the case at PlayStation Direct and Best Buy, and just to sweeten the deal even further, it’s the slimmer model of PS5 bundled with games that aren’t even six months old yet that are on sale....
