I don’t even have a hdmi 2.1 tv yet. Is it really beneficial ? I have a Samsung 4K currently. It should do right ?

2.1 gives 4k 120fps and beyond.

You'd need a 4k 120hz TV for HDMI 2.1 to be worth the upgrade, personally I'm sticking with my 3440x1440 60hz ultrawide and 1920x1080 60hz monitors until i know what the PS5 will support. Even playing at 1080p, games should be rendered at 4k then downsampled to 1080, which will give better quality than outputting at 1080p.

4k 120hz monitors are rare/expensive at the moment so I may end up with a cheap 4k 60hz monitor to replace my 1080p one.


I'm also holding off on buying the PS5 headphones as there's a chance my Fiio K3 DAC/AMP will work with it, being a USB DAC/AMP - however it doesn't look like it worked on the PS4, only the E10K did... Need reviews of the PS5 headphones too.

Great, thank you. Was a bit worried I’d be missing out of my tv didn’t have 2.1. Gonna hold off the upgrade until after Xmas.
 
I would wait and see how prolific 4K/120fps is first. Personally, I have my doubts that it'll be common in next-gen games. Unless it turns out to be a big deal, is it really worth changing TVs for?

Does anyone know when very will take the first payment I selected the buy now pay later. Just incase it somehow fell through so I could cancel it. I have intention in paying in full but hoped it would be on dispatch not from now.

Watch out with Very, they're a bunch of muppets.

I've had them cancel orders on BNPL the day before they're do to ship because 'their underwriters have made a decision not to accept the order' - my credit report is as close to flawless as you can get.

Also with the BNPL stuff make sure you've cleared the full balance before the interest free period expired. I stupidly assumed you'd only play interest on the bit outstanding, instead they hit me with a 40% interest charge on the full purchase which was significantly more.

Cause they least in a personnel experience sell stock they don't have.

Few others here pre ordered when they claimed to have stock, got charged and then it was cancelled.

Been reported on sixthaxis as well.

I've never had an issue in 6 years of pre-ordering all the console releases including limited editions (like the PS4 500 million).

If you're worried about getting charged and it being cancelled then use BNPL.

Their terms and conditions are made very clear, how is it their fault you didn't read them properly?

I've been buying on BNPL for 6 years, always paid it off in time, it's done wonders for my credit rating.

If reports are true that Miles Morales runs at dynamic 4k/30fps then we're miles off 4k/120fps.

When the guy uses the word "stupidly", I think it's fair to assume he wasn't saying it was anyone's fault but his own.

My muppets comment was more on some backwards underwriting decision around not offering me BNPL, despite having >£40k available credit, less than 2% credit utilization and a flawless payment history. This decision taken 3 weeks after I'd placed the pre-order and the day before it was supposed to ship.

The other part was just a warning, and I got caught by that once for which I accept responsibility.

Problem is we don't know yet if they'll support non VRR outputs, you could have 1080p/1440p @ 120hz over HDMI 2.0 but they might not support it. So you're forced to get HDMI 2.1 for VRR anyway.

Black Ops, Rainbow 6 & DmC5 all confirmed 120fps modes. It will be more common than you think, in titles where framerate is worthwhile (multiplayer shooters, beat em ups etc.)

Modes though. I mean sure, if you turn off all the ray tracing, shadows, particles etc then yeah 120fps. Anyway we'll see what happens. 1440/60 with everything on would suit me. 4k/60 even better. Destiny 2 will hit that but obviously a last gen title.
 
So I've got an order in with Game and one with Curry's for me and my brother.

Obviously I take precedence in the whole thing and get whichever turns up first because I ordered the things, but what are Game normally like with pre-orders? I notice their receipt states Royal Mail tracked 24 for delivery whereas Curry's is next day. Did anyone here order a PS4 with them and did it arrive on release day?

Not the end of the world if it doesn't but just wondering.

I've not preordered a console online with them but when I've preordered games, more often than not I receive it the day after release day.
 
Finally got today preorder confirmation email from GAME (preordered after announcement, two days ago). Happy that at least this worked for me.
 
I've received confirmation from Argos and cash has been taken from my credit card, so looks good.

The console is for my son's Xmas, but I may have to test when it arrives to see if it's worth picking up one for myself instead of getting involved in the latest GPU con jobs.
