True next gen!

Large picture warning!

Gutted, I really want one :(

I still can't wait to see what's POSSIBLE on the PS5, because whilst what I've seen so far all looks good, I still frankly haven't seen anything graphics wise that even begins to compete with TLOU2's "burning island". Obviously that wasn't "standard PS4", it was breathtakingly standout, along with a few scenes from Death Stranding, showcasing what I think are probably the absolute limits of the PS4... so I guess it'll be a few years until devs start really blowing minds with this gen's capabilities.

Demon's Souls is pretty damn impressive, especially for a launch title

I have to say, ebay prices are so crazy at the moment that if I'd pre-ordered and got a PS5 on launch day, I'd be VERY tempted to sell it on to a desperate parent with too much cash, set aside £400 for a new one in Spring, and pocket the extra :umm2:. I've seen them going for £800+

i want one, but i will happily wait until they are in regular stock :laugh:

OK, so.... wouldn't load up this morning. On screen said there was a storage issue, but then it cycled through to 100% and then turned itself off. Had a look on the internet and seems like it's an issue with the Miles game. Took me about 3 attempts at a factory reset in safe mode before it worked.

Just be careful if you're playing this game I was about level 15/16 and on about 55% completion.

It's been working perfectly since I rebooted without that game.

This is the other reason to hold off a bit on a new launch; letting you lot guinneapig the hardware and firmware issues so that they get patched up. This could be the game but a bad but of game code shouldn't be able to affect the whole system like that, sounds like a firmware issue with the PS5 software itself.

Yeah, I'm contacting game in the morning to get this sent back and replaced. It takes abut 20 boot ups to get it to work properly. Pretty sure it's a hard drive issue, as it keeps trying to repair the storage (on a brand new machine!) and then just turns itself off. I've reset and rebuilt everything I possibly can, but this is a dodgy machine I have! I'll probably end up with a working PS5 after all the 2nd and 3rd wavers have got theirs! :laugh:

Fcuking bots will have his new zx spectrum from Amazon up and running before this piece of crap!

The "fancy" next gen SSD is one of the major selling points of the PS5, hopefully yours is just a rare dodgy one as there being a widescale problem with the SSD would be a disaster for Sony :umm2:.

Of course, on PC we've had m.2 NVMe SSD's for years and replaceable parts so don't have to worry about such things...

:laugh: :fist:

There's a chance I come out of this quids in. Been in contact with both game and playstation. Playstation say they're going to send me a new one out, they're just going through their system and I've provided evidence, so if they do that within the next couple of days, I can send my machine back to game for a full refund as it's faulty and end up with a free PS5 :smug:

SURELY Sony would want you to send them the defective one if they're replacing...

...although my wife did almost get two brand new iPhones once, because the delivery fella left the first one in a recycle bin TWO DOORS DOWN and marked it as delivered. Phone company thankfully believed that it never turned up and sent a replacement - then about a week later, the neighbour (who had been off on holiday) knocks the door with the first one. We were honest though and sent it back to the phone company :hmph:

I'm not sure; they didn't say anything about sending this one back (obviously that could change), and I've seen YT vids of them just sending them out to Americans who were on the earlier release date and had faulty machines.

Just waiting to hear from Sony again, so I'll definitely know one way or the other within the next day or 2. I think there have been a sh1tload of 5's that have been dodgy, so I think they're trying to minimise the negative publicity, by not making folks jump through hoops to get replacements.

Some Amazon Packages
mean't to be PS5

Apparently a massive stock in the UK (3500 consoles) has been scalped again... lol.

They're going for £850 (disc) and £700 (digital) on eBay at the moment... I can see this going on for a while. I honestly wish there was regulation to force online retailers to stop this from happening, i.e. flagging any suspicion of bulk ordering and stopping it wherever possible.

They're going to sell out to genuine buyers anyway, it's not like the retailer is going to miss out on a sale.

The Proper Price

This is the Problem stores get a limited amount in
there is a cut off point of the last few sold to loads


You have to keep trying

And only post if you have it in your hands


Amazon UK
thought they would have loads
by Nov 19th
But the Stock did not arrive

This Morning ITV1HD Live

Has a PS5 on there show.
A Non disc one.
(not hers, it was loaned to her)

Debating Ebay Scams
Folks paid for a Photo
not the Unit.


Well done the Consumer Reporter Lady
finding out it's a worldwide stock problem.
And Shops like John Lewis
today have no new stock.

i got an alert that Curry's got some stock in this morning. I immediately clicked on the link and there were 75,000 ahead of me in the queue. I got to the top of the queue and then the website crashed :laugh:

the worst console in the history of time and i am old enough to remember the dreamcast

But it's good, and so is the Dreamcast :shrug:

The Dreamcast was great. Didn’t sell well because of Sega’s own doings in the 90’s but still a great console, way ahead of its time.

Jet Set Radio and Shenmue were the only good games on it and even then the sequels on original xbox were 10x better

You can't judge any console until its run is over (unless it's actually defective) because all that actually matters is the exclusives... and obviously the PS5 has very few titles thus far. The PS3 had a slightly ropey start but had delivered the InFamous series, Uncharted series, Heavy Rain, The Last Of Us etc. by closing. PS4 has delivered a much longer list of good exclusives. Can't see Sony dropping the ball this gen tbh.

I was in the GAME queue for an hour or so yesterday, the progress bar moved maybe half a centimetre, then it came up with "Sorry dey all gone" :joker:.

I can still wait... it's not like there are any exclusives I want for it yet... I just have the cash burning a hole in my pocket I think.

One of the lesser spoken about things is the Dualsense, it's a very impressive controller. The triggers have different amounts of pressure for different firearms in Hitman 3

The lack of availability is surely going to be a problem... Devs are going to be hesitant to release if no one has the console. It would be one thing if all the units sold were in the hands of gamers but at this point, countless have been stockpiled by eBay scalpers.

Kent is getting PS5 stock

https://www.kentlive.news/whats-on/s...o-game-4911081

But it's full of Nu Covid yuck.

[The PS5 was launched in November 2020 and has been
a hot ticket item ever since,
with Sony apologising for lack of stock and
promising to boost production.

Sony is yet to comment on the
latest shortages, said to be caused by
lack of AMD chips, but some experts has said
the PS5 drought could continue until July.
On a brighter note, Digitimes reports that Sony
is planning to ship between 16.8 million
and 18 million PS5 units in 2021.

Getting hold of PS5 accessories is
getting (a bit) easier, too
. Currys still has the PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless PS5
headset in stock for £89.99
(it could be worth grabbing one before it sells out again),
while Amazon has the DualSense Controller for £57.95.]
