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 . I've seen them going for £800+

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!

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 .

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...

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.
