Well I play a lot of online NBA 2k which is my primary reason for upgrading on day 1, but I'll buy Spiderman and Valhalla too.

Why does anyone buy anything they don't need as an essential?

Don't get me wrong, I'm mostly a PC gamer so I'm not shy about frivolous spends, I spent just under £800 on two monitors in July (a 32" 4k and a 28" 1440p 165hz) :joker:. I also will definitely be getting a PS5 long before any price drops etc... It's more having to put in extra effort to secure one I don't really understand, but then, I'm quite lazy. If I can't just go on a website and order current stock, then I can't really be arsed :umm2:.

That said, I'd have got one for Cyberpunk if I only had consoles, I suspect the PS4 version is going to be stripped back and will STILL have framerate issues.

Game is about 15 minutes away from me and isn't in the city centre so it's completely hassle free. I parked outside and was in and out within 20 mins when I reserved. It's only lockdown thats forced the extra hassle. They're attaching raffle tickets to receipts, and pre-packaging everything the night before, so it'll actually be a lot quicker to pick up on release day, without the need for queuing and paying. £581 for the disc version, Morales, and valhalla ultimate edition.

I'm exhausted just reading that! I will buy one when someone can bring it to my door and say "Here is your PS5 you lucky duck" ... and even then I'm feeling lethargic about the idea of having to answer the door.

I'm getting mine at launch from Shopto, they had a 'register your interest' thing up before announcement, and the early you registered, the more likely you was to get on at launch

My main reason for being a day one.

God you’re so heterosexual it’s disgusting

I played a bit of basketball at school and was one of the best players in my year (though when I say this, bear in mind that I wasn't GREAT, I was just tall and a good shot when everyone else was terrible) but... I just don't really get the appeal of sports video games :umm2:. Like why would you not just go and play the actual sport.

It's coming!

it's not in my friendly local amazon store yet :fist:

This and Miles Morales. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough.

Demon's Souls for me :D

Lol.

Game are *****. Took a tenner out of my account for delivery when I first preordered and never mentioned and now they've changed it to a free delivery service with Yodel. The worst courier in the country who can't even give me a tracking number (despite the fact Game have text me to say its with them) and have said they might not be able to deliver all orders tomorrow

****ing Doris at 48 is going to get it instead.

I heard about this, pretty shocking they charged people to use DPD, but then used Yodel anyway

An in-law of mine works IT for Littlewoods/Very... apparently some PS5 stock dropped this morning and sold out IN 45 SECONDS :joker: :joker:.

It's for those of us that are too bad at the real thing.:joker:

Being serious they can be fun, I have a **** ton of FIFA and PES Games in particular. Although NBA Live 16 for the Basketball Games was good too even if I can't defend very well.:laugh:

I played a bit of PES at Uni (because other people were playing it a lot) and to be fair, I guess these games can be fun if you're playing them against a friend so there's a bit of competition going on... I don't get the appeal vs computer opponent though.

By the end of my time at Uni the PS2 pretty much had Guitar Hero in it permanently though... and the GameCube with Smash Bros Melee. Don't think those discs left the consoles for about 18 months straight :joker:. The "living room consoles" that is, of course. I also had my own PC and PS2 in my room for REAL gaming :hehe: 🤓

God it really is ugly... I'm going to have to find a way to have it hidden away inside the cabinet when I get one, there's no way my wife will sign off on that sitting out in the open :joker:

...the 24ct gold plated one is quite cool...:love:...I was looking at that in TiBB Apprentice when Nicky was selling them...

And yet she married you :smug:

I am a work of art. 24ct gold plated human, Ammi said.

I quite like the look of it, its the first console I've stood up since the PS2

But surely that's because it doesn't lie down :suspect:

It is pretty hideous, but as I'm installing games at the mo the worst thing about it for me is the ridiculously small storage.

It doesnt fit in the cabinet :laugh:

It's because of the "next gen" SSD speed needed for the games. Apparently it has an upgrade slot for an m.2 drive that just involves popping off one side of the case though, I think it has to be one of the "newer" ones which are still on the pricier side, but basically in a year or two you should be able to chuck a 2gb storage upgrade in there for like £50. Flash storage prices drop fast as the technology progresses.

I'm 99% sure it won't fit in mine either - but since I'm planning on getting the digital edition anyway... it might just be hidden behind the TV :umm2:.

I have a white TV cabinet, so it actually looks better than the PS4 would :laugh:

I think the big winner about the PS5, and the digital edition even more so is, with no HDD, the amount of moving parts inside the machine is lessened significantly

I've heard it's very quiet, although... it could be powered by a 747 engine and still be quieter than my 4 Pro. I generally use a headset which makes it less of an issue, but me and my wife played Little Hope a few weeks back and we had to use subtitles because the TV would have woken the kids if it had been up loud enough to be heard over the damn console. The neighbours must have thought we were hoovering at 1am.

I've had both consoles on today for the same amount of time, doing the same task.

The Pro is red hot, the PS5 is cold, to warm. Also can't hear the PS5 at all, but Pro is humming away.

Honestly, everytime I played a HDR enabled game on the Pro, my room heated up so fast

Amazon UK was to sell it from today
but its not on their site.


And others selling it
reports have said their sites have crashed.

Have you got one yet, Arista?

No

you can buy a controller on amazon for the ps5 you don't yet have, so it's not all bad :spin:

I've got one x

To get the best out of the CPU opponents is to put their settings to Medium/Semi-Pro difficulty as it's not so easy that you end up walking every match, but not so ridiculously hard that it spoils the Game.

I've never played Guitar Hero, but it always catches my interest out of the more Casual Games.

Smash Bros Melee was the bees knees when I was a kid.:laugh:

..:love:..enjoy...
