Any tips or things I should know, soon to be new ps5 owner:)

Im wondering about settings, on my lg CX I have a free sync VRR option, I didn't think the ps5 supports VRR yet, is that coming soon though?

Also I only plan to use this for exclusives, anything multiplayer or 3rd party will be on my series x.

I don't need any subscriptions if thats the case, right?

The PS5 supports VRR but it's mostly on a per game basis. I can't recall if they have a system level feature or not.

You won't need PS+ unless you want to back up your saves. Once again, the grabbing buggers are charging you for a free feature on the XBox. And now you can't even back up PS5 saves to your own USB drive because they are worried about save game hacking.

Ok I will enable it on my TV then if thats the case.

That's a shame about the saves backup being a premium, oh well, not the end of the world.

I dont understand the obsession with save game hacking on the consoles, who cares if some dude hacks their single player game lol.

Now its got to the point you need psn+ to backup your game saves they have gone over a red line for me in that area.

If I remember right steam cloud saves are free right?
 
Torn on whether to dive into TLOU1 again, played the remaster to death (100 hours) so not sure if it’s best left to memory (where I consider it one of the greatest games I’ve ever played)

I just bought it. Told myself for ages not to as it’s too expensive but man I cannot wait. Downloading it now. Yes I am part of the problem but meh it’s one of my favourite games ever so to hell with it.

I generally buy digital on my xbox, but on my new ps5, unsure. I presume disc is cheaper generally, does the sony store have good digital sales?

Not for PS5 games. It's been what 18 months since Ratchet & Clank came out and I've not seen it drop below £55 yet. Part of the reason I decided to sell mine and am going to wait until near the end of the gen now and pick up a slim model for those exclusives that didn't come to Steam.

Sony exclusives don’t tend to drop as fast as others but they do drop occasionally. Going slightly against what @ic1male has said R&C dropped to £43 last July. It’s gone down a few times have a look at psprices uk shows the discount history.
 
What ps plus tier are you guys on, If I sub I may go for extra.

Some games I would like to play that I missed since selling ps4

Detroit Become Human
Stray
Miles Morales
That walking simulator game, forgot the name:p
 
Going back to the TLOU remake when Joel and Tess first walk out onto the main street it’s a real omg moment. The detail and lighting is incredible. Had a quick half an hour with it this morning before work. Can’t decide if the 40fps 4K mode is the right one for me I’ll keep switching for a while to see what feels best. Performance is 60fps variable res.

I’ve gone for the top tier. Suits me and there’s a ton of content there.

Death Stranding? Amazon delivery sim! Glad I played it though it’s bonkers.
