Poll: *The Official PlayStation (PS5/PS5 Pro) Thread*

Will have to see if developers take advantage of the storage speed and not have multiple identical assets stored to assist with load speeds etc.

Could potentially keep file sizes down but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Devs seemed to have gotten damned lazy on the compression front of things. Cod War zone being the extreme example.

Horizon 2 coming on PS4 is mad. That means another game that isn’t using the SSD for anything other than faster loading.

Smyths now has preorders live.

Does anyone know if you preorder with Game and select Royal Mail Tracked 24 it will still arrive on release day

The cyberpunk one x, last of us 2 collectors both came on the day using royal mail 24.

A friends came day after so... Take that as you will

 

[Puzzled]

Not too bad price wise but think I'll wait a year or so until some decent proper next gen games come out. Hopefully they'll have a better looking version by then as well.

Probably pick up a series s to tide me over

Tempted to wait for Amazon as I have Prime but that will be Ddos'd knowing my luck and I'll miss out.

Lol, they're bound to have one of the largest allocations so you should be fine.

Can see the usual profiteering going on though, eBay will be flooded with pre-orders soon.

Grabbed one from Smyths & one from Game, will keep whichever looks best tomorrow. Hopefully GAME allow midnight collection.

I was thinking the same - but... I've read a lot now suggesting the 1440p claim (by MS) for the Series S is purely aspirational. Many people looking at the Series S GPU spec are saying there's no way this thing will do more than 1080p/60.

I'm inclined to believe them. The Series S does look like a 1080p focused box, and some time soon I'm looking to upgrade my monitor to 1440p/100+.

I love the idea of the Series S especially at the price. But the GPU is seriously, seriously gimped. Less CUs, lower clocks, and less than 1/2 the GDDR memory speed.

I couldn't log into my account in shopto, so I managed to get a preorder on Smyth's.

 

[Andybtsn]

I was going to wait but I have some credit built up on Very, not sure they will get them but if they I’ll try buy one.

 

[jrodga2k5]

Got to be honest...Demon Souls looking as phenomenal as it did and coming on launch was enough to secure it for me

 

[Things change I've changed]

Just completed my order with Game, now just need to try and nab a 3080 tomorrow and I'm done! been an expensive year this one.

 

[ProStreet]

Got a digital edition. Prefer the look of it tbh.

 

[d3moliti0n]

Just pre-ordered on GAME as guest as it wouldn't let me log in to my account. Does this pretty much guarantee me one for launch, pre-ordering this early on? Never bought a console at launch before so just wondering.
