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

[HRL]

I’ve never bothered with PS Now myself.

Having a PS4, a PS4 Pro and a decent PC, PS Now seemed pointless to me.

 

[Noxia]

Yeah PS now never interested me either.

 

[Converge]

Btw anyone now that Days Gone is in the PS Plus Collection is there any reason to go back to it if I've already completed it? Such as new add-ons/missions etc?

I think it’s just the original game. It’s not a special edition or anything like that from what I can see.

 

[TallPaul_S]

Yeah PS Now is much less use than PS Plus, which is pretty much required.

Think of PS Plus as Xbox Live Gold.
PS Now is the (poor) equivalent to Game Pass.

Cheers, I meant I’ve bought some codes for Plus (doh - confused already haha). I will leave Now and see how I get on with Plus, it looks like it has a decent amount of content anyway.

It depends on what games you want to play. I have the same hardware as yourself but if it hadn't been for PS Now, I would never have played Resident Evil VII, The Evil Within 1+2, Batman Arkham Origins, Sniper Elite 4 for starters. They all went under my radar.

Has anyone’s Game order shown up with Royal Mail? Mine was supposedly dispatched but not tracking info or anything.

this is where mine is at. I never had a tracking number before on other stuff with Game and Royal Mail delivery just a email on the day of delivery to say its coming. Mine is a 48hour delivery randomly an I got the "On it's way" email yesterday so we are hoping tomorrow. Wont be using Game for stuff like this next time

EE are telling people that if you're a SIM only customer you shouldn't have been able to add a PS5 to your plan.

Sorry to hear about those that have been shafted one way or another today! I wanted to share how impressed I am with the controller and console etc. But I'd feel like a complete **** for doing so, so I won't. I was stood outside Game with my receipt at 7.30am expecting to be first in-line, there were roughly seventy people foaming at the mouth waiting in-line before I got there. lol.

My sisters partner after I showed him clip of the noisy xbox series dpad he sent one back for ps5 and its much better, he agreed with me the xbox controller is ridiculously noisy.

 

[Digital X]

My order changed to dispatched earlier, but not sure of the exact time. Getting more excited now.

My god, Spider-Man remastered is awesome, never played the PS4 version but it looks and plays incredibly.

Also download God of war and last of us remastered plus got Bugsnax for free which I think my niece will love.

Apparently those that tried to order 2 PS5's from Currys this morning are all being cancelled and refunded as they stated only 1 per customer.

ASDA just had a surge of stock available but went within 2 minutes, added to basket and wouldn't get past payment screen only to find it it's sold out.

You'd hope it locks in the stock if you're in the checkout page!

got to be bots, unless they pre announcing, even if email notification people wouldnt be that quick.

Do people actually worry about something you use for menu clicks....

I foolishly ordered only the Miles version - think I will look to sell it on and get the one with the PS4 game on as well...

Activision Need a slap though, 115gb for what a 4-6 SP COD campaign.

Same here mate, had the on its way email at about 5pm last night but no other contact. I’m just hoping they haven’t sent tracking numbers because of how busy they’ve been and that it arrives today or tomorrow. We’ll see. Really hope it’s not Monday!

Looks like the news is reporting lots of PS5's either been stolen or turning up delivered but not with a PS5... other objects are reported to be delivered. Stolen PS5's incoming.

 

[chrcoluk]

You can't stop people buying and reselling.

what about the "not for resale" labels on certian products?

 

[Bigpig]

Wow just got news from my work that we are getting a bonus this year for all the hard work we been doing on all the Covid vaccines and because it been a hard year!!!! That's my PS5 guilt free now!!!!

 

[chrcoluk]

Not really, some of us have kids. So say 3 kids plus one adult. Thats 4 consoles needed. So say you buy 4 on very and then 4 on currys etc etc. Can't be stopped

When I was a child we shared things, are you really giving each child their own high end console?

I would support a one per household model during product launches, have a system that adds purchase to a database via delivery/billing address. I am aware there would be ways to get round it but as long as it had a significant impact it would be worth doing.
