i saw a review on the latest x box yesterday and it was less than complimentary, so the field is open for the PS5 if they haven't messed it up too

In what sense? The hardware is more or less identical parts in a different box. The UI etc. will be completely different of course.

So Game is considered essential, right?

i've set Amazon to notify me when they have stock in, i consider it essential

I do agree though! I would say entertainment stuff is essential as we gotta look after our mental health and have to entertain ourselves during lockdown and many more if that happens.

Just got a call from Game. Have to go and pay before wednesday, then just show a receipt on release day.

Whilst bots is waiting for Amazon to let him know that ink for his typewriter is in stock.

In all seriousness, what's the point of getting a PS5 at launch when there's **** all coming out for it for ages

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) . 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 .

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.

Spiderman is the only really tempting game at launch, but I can wait until February-April when RE8 is likely to come out.

I did have Cyberpunk pre-ordered until the latest delay for the PS4 but since there's a lot of reports of the current gen versions being problematic, I think I'll likely get Spiderman, Cyberpunk and RE8 as my first PS5 games.

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

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 . Like why would you not just go and play the actual sport.

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

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.

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 . The "living room consoles" that is, of course. I also had my own PC and PS2 in my room for REAL gaming 🤓

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.
