Me too. I also skipped the Pro and have just finished God of War. Next up Ghost of Tsushima!
Only actual PS5 game I've played to far is Astros Playroom. I suspect the first one I buy will be Ratchet and Clank

Argh! Two games that are also in my ever increasing back catalogue!
After seeing what Insomniac have done with Spider-Man, R&C is a definite day one for me.
I don't think it's been too bad really, if you were buying just ps5 disc copies of games and ignore the ps4 back cat.
You still have a fair selection compared to what I've seen from some other launches.
Ass creed, Sackboy, Cod, Hitman, Spiderman MM, Dirt, Fifa, Immortals, God fall, Watch dogs and others.
Yeah that list may not set your world on fire but there looks to be a little bit of something for most people. I remember the PS4 launch being very sparse and really starting to struggle around now for games.

I have been doing this, playing the older games with 60fps patches. Having a blast on both consoles.

This is the thing. When idiots pay £900 for something worth £450 you can hardly blame the scalpers.
It's the world we live in.
Let's not forget, there are a lot of people on this very forum who have done it. The excuse is they are making enough back to pay for theirs.
Maybe Sony and Microsoft need to put the shipments back a full year so they build up the inventory. This year should have been stocking up with a release this coming November.
Can you imagine if Sony had released the PS5 as it currently stands, with the specifications as it currently stands, in November 2021?
They would be lambasted to death for selling such an "out of date" piece of equipment.
Sony/Microsoft have no option but to get the console released once specifications have been finalised and stock is being built.
It's users and their fear of missing out that has driven prices up. I was only every going to pay RRP.
I got my pre-order in as soon as it opened, I took delivery on November 19th.
If I was sitting here now without one, I'd be waiting for the opportunity to get one at RRP - I'm on a good salary, I've spent a lot less money due to being in lock-down for much of last year.
Doesn't matter, still not paying over RRP.
How would it be out of date? this generation of consoles have never been so evenly matched with current PC technology, even surpassing it with stuff like memory interconnects v PCI-E 3.0 and SSD speeds. When PS4 launched with it's 1.6ghz glorified low-end laptop cpu PC gamers were already rocking 3.5ghz Sandy Bridge CPU's. PC has been static for years you get 1-5% faster upgrades for £800 every year and more cores that don't make any realistic difference to anything.
He did say by Nov 2021 mind. So by then pc landscape may have changed a little.
Ps5 and Xbox are still unbeatable value right now mind.
Linus recent video building a pc to match showed the horrendous state of pc market.
Start with the ps+ collection.
.
God of War, Days Gone, Persona 5, Crash Bandicoot, Bloodborne, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted 4, The last of us Remastered (if you didn't catch it on ps3)
All available to download if you have a PS+ subscription and a PS5.
Then I'd personally add, Horizon Zero Dawn, Tlou2 (some love it, some hate it) Ghost of Tsushima and Spider-Man Remastered.
So if I announced a new gaming console right now and the specification for it (based on readily available and very forthcoming tech (within the next 2 months) - but then announced that you wouldn't be able to buy it for 12 months until I'd built up inventory - there would be absolutely no backlash from the community at all when the console eventually hits the shelves in February 2022?
I think the community as a whole would prefer the opportunity to get their hands on something with specifications for "now" as opposed to 6/12 months time but then be almost guaranteed to get one.
Weirdly, it's kind of what happened with Series X anyway.
The Xbox Series X was revealed 11 months before its release and was already in Xbox staffers homes at that point. So it was already a year "out of date" at launch.
That makes it sound like more of a marmite game than it actually is. A minority were very vocal about their "issues" with it (the TLoU2 thread being a prime example), the majority praised it for being an excellent game.
Well you can see adults here desperately wanting one, that want must be a lot worse for a kid
I think you need to take personal circumstance into account. For example, the family I have been trying to buy one for sold their PS4 pro when they got an amazon pre-order, then they got caught up in the stolen deliveries fiasco and now have nothing, they played on the Pro as a family unit now they don't even have that, and like I said earlier in the thread you can't even buy a new Pro anywhere so that's not an option now.
It's just a very frustrating situation all-in-all.
Amazon said they were replacing all lost/stolen orders as a priority, is that not the case?
I believe they got their compensation gift vouchers and a promise of a replacement that never materialised.
