Fair enough matey! I’ve enjoyed using the new controller and the lack of loading times has been a surprisingly great addition for me. Going to give Devil May Cry 5 a go this weekend I think

Just noticed that Ratchet and Clank is up for pre-order on the store in the PS app 11th June.

You simply can't beat the bots. If you do, you are very lucky.

I don’t think it was bots this time around,it was mainly excessive number of people trying to checkout ,many people actually managed to complete their order today.(I couldn’t) but on both drops,(morning and afternoon) many could actually order whereas with the previous bot attacks all inventory was wiped off in 1-2 seconds.

I've been in the discord channel all day, and sat with the stock livefeed running. Seems very strange that the websites are fine right up until the stock drops, and the feeds go green.

Many 'real' people are sat refreshing like mad, yet when the feeds go green the bots pounce and the site crashes.

Then there's the ebay listing from today with screenshots showing game pre-orders.

The entire thing stinks!

Ooh boy. Can’t wait for this ! Insomniac are such a great studio. Think I’ll pre order so I can pre load the game in waiting (when it goes up for pre load)

Is going digital only on the ps5 a really expensive idea even if you just buy in the sale or go on key sites?

Great! This will most likely be my first PS5 game. However I refuse to pay £70 for a game so I will wait a while or buy second hand

I usually just buy sale stuff. But I want this day one - and digital. I hate faffing around with discs.

Problem is it generally takes 2-3 years for prices to fall to £15 or so which is my bite point. Is mitigated somewhat by a subscription to PS Now and EA Play though.

Some were lucky and weren’t even stopped by the queue etc

Managed to get one for my brother from game today. Tried each bundle and one with the camera added to basket successfully. Check out process was a slog but it eventually went through thankfully.

Yeah I'm very tempted by it, don't get me wrong! At the moment sensible brain is winning but it's finding it harder with every drop of stock!

Nope. No whine here. I think the only game that makes my ps5 audible is borderlands 3.

Strange then as never heard it before, oh well hopefully it will improve with use lol.

Ratchet & Clank - want now!
Not paying £70 however, so I'll wait a couple of months after release and pick it up for less.

ShopTo have stock today but their website is down due to the demand generating a DDoS attack!

Looking at getting The Division 2 so I can play the enhanced version. Noticed that it's going cheap on GAME just now - is it just as simple as buying the PS4 version then downloading the PS5 patch?

Yes as simple as that. I'm playing through it now. Loving it actually. I played the beta on PS4 and was a little underwhelmed but this PS5 update and no doubt the patches the game has had in the past has really turned into something pretty great. It doesn't re-invent the wheel or anything but if you like shooting and looting then you'll have a good time.
