the hype has died down?

they sell out instantly.

also... why does it even matter?

Of course. The hype has died down to the point where it’s merely a case of trying to find one now.

Why should people have to go between threads?

also... didn’t see a separate thread made for Series X/S deliveries...

go between what threads? this one and the owners one?

I'm not exactly gonna post in an owners one if I don't own one.

I think I just find it odd that it even matters to you. If you don't like reading more than one thread, then just read the one you like.

There are two threads when there doesn’t have to be.

If you find it odd nor does it bother you then why did you take the trouble to respond? I asked the relevant person yet you felt the need to chime in.
 
Why would you merge them? This thread, users can post a heads-up as to when stock goes live on various sites which might get lost if it's in a merged thread. If anything this one should just be killed off when it's ran it's course which is clearly not now.

I chimed in because I find it odd. It's human nature to react to something unusual :P

As benji says, when stock levels are normal and people aren't struggling then simply delete this thread.

Because you’re always going to have people posting up regarding deliveries and whatnot. Why not just merge them at this point and keep the conversation in one thread?

Im just curious as to why was it deemed ok for the Series X/S to remain as one thread when it comes to deliveries and being an owner of said consoles yet the PS5 gets a separate thread...

Because I didn't get an X/S :D When I got my PS5 i wanted to actually see discussion about the device rather then just pre order talk.

I will merge them eventually.
 
Mine arrived today!!!!

Looking forward to comparing to the XSX - I've always been an Xbox person but had a PS2 and very fond memories. Benefit of current situation is that if I'm not sure on it, I can sell it without a loss :-)
 
No - that is not what some of us are saying.
What we are saying is that scalpers are not getting all, they are not even betting the majority of the consoles available.
Every single time there is a drop on consoles all we get is "Scalpers got them all", "bots got them all" - which is complete rubbish.

I never said (at least not intentionally) that the scalpers got them all, but as someone who was trying hard to get one, following a load of other people on Twitter who were also doing the same thing, I feel fairly confident in saying that in places that had no protection, like Amazon, yes scalpers did get a large proportion of the stock. The amount of people I saw on Twitter complaining that they were on the site within seconds of the stock going live and they still couldn't get one was just ridiculous. For every 50+ people complaining they missed out, I might see one single person say they managed it.

Some sites, places like Game, ShopTo and Argos that seemed to have some protection and checks in place, yes I would imagine scalpers didn't get the majority of them. It's blatantly obviously scalpers are still at work though. They've bragged about it enough!
 
What 2 games are you playing the most on your ps5?

Borderlands 3 and Fifa for me

On Ps5 - Days Gone and Deus Ex Human Revolution Mankind Divided (an oldie but goodie). I have Borderlands 3 installed and have played a couple of hours but not been back to it. Its on the shelf for later.

Had no crashes or issues to date other than the first pad developed a serious stick drift issue and I had to buy a new one. Its an intermittent issue and I haven't decided whether to send it off or open it up.

EDIT: Always get HR and MD mixed up. Im rediscovering MD at the moment. Thoroughly enjoyable but still has shonky frame rates even on a PS5 :eek:

@Mark1989 I was just thinking this myself. I've explored three zones now and feel a bit bored. It kept me engaged a lot longer than Viking AC mind you. Think it's one I'll manage to finish if I have a break but it's only Ubisoft games I seem to have this trouble with which is why I don't buy them new

Days gone, fantastic game. Enjoyed it from start to finish. Bit of a slow burner, but seriously enjoyed it. I hope there is a second installment.

Yeah Days Gone is immense, recently played through Last of us 2 on my PS5 for the first time. Great game story wise but it does drag on and on and on and it also gets repetitive.

I would just plough through the main quests, make an extra save before the point of no return(it tells you when that is) least then if you wish to mop up you can do it later that way

The main quest line is pretty short really.

I'm really enjoying it. Been on it for hours but still feel like I'm only just getting started. Only destroyed one horde so far (was an easy one). Makes me laugh though as the AI is weird. The horde can climb buildings, pile up to reach higher points in scenery and chase you everywhere. But if you run up a ladder, they stand at the bottom like where the hell did he Go??? Lol :p
 
Fired up Miles Morales again last night and started a ng+ on the unlocked difficulty. The game downloaded an update and I don’t know if it’s because I’d not played it for a while but it looked and played even better than I remember. Playing in 60fps RT mode. Stunning looking game and it’s great fun.
 
Currently considering a PS5 and have a couple of questions I'm hoping this thread might be able to answer easily! :)

Is there a party chat system on PS5 similar to that on Xbox?

How about a find group/club type system? It's always handy being able to find others looking to jump into a game together at short notice.
 
So has anyone managed to sign into their ps5 from the playstation app?

I'm attempting to follow the instructions to allow me to remotely manage game installations via the app and its saying a QR code is supposed to appear on my ps5 screen and it isnt.

Anyone managed to do this? My app is saying its linked to the ps5 but I don't have any content management options in my library.
