Channel isles. I guess I don’t pay vat so that’s the trade off.
Poll: *The Official PlayStation (PS5/PS5 Pro) Thread*
- Thread starter BMox81
- Start date
After queuing on uk psn for 1hr 30 mins my pre order for the pro is in. This was much easier than ps5 launch on amazon (I ended up getting one a month after launch).
Weirdly you can't pre order a stand or drive - you would think they would want your money lol. I'm going to try and find them but no rush although unfortunately my copy of demon souls and gran turismo 7 are on disk which I would like to try out.
It will be interesting to see which games benefit from the boost mode - I would guess any game with either a dynamic res or an unlocked frame rate would be better even unpatched a bit like ps4 pro. I'm also interested in testing psvr2 improvements hopefully gt7 adds updated vr modes.

Why's everyone getting a disk drive? Can't remember the last disc I used!

Just logged back in, and the orders for the controller and console are seperate, hence separate emails, but the order is there.
I would have loved the bundle given the chance, but knowing there was no chance, I only really went on for the Dualsense.

For games I'm not sure about or will only want to play for a short while
If you're someone who doesn't hold onto collections and/or buy a lot of games every year, you can save hundreds by reselling.

I only use disk where i can. I much prefer a tangible product that i can sell on if i want rather than a digital version that usually costs 10% more and you can never sell it.

Someone who sees 5k as pocket money I guess. Personally I share your point of view.
But why Sony has them and many of the high street stores too..
here is sony :- https://direct.playstation.com/en-gb/buy-accessories/disc-drive-for-ps5-digital-edition-consoles
They did have a minute ago... High street electrical shop has them and a catalogue place, HMV even has them .. just use google ..

You can, its under PS5 accessories. I have ordered one but it doesnt say preorder on it so i assume it will be shipped to me as its in stock and then the console will come on release date.
and no drive I'm still really cold on the Pro even if I do feel the tinge of FOMO. I'll be sensible though and wait on "something" to prove its worth. Going to be a long month or so before you guys start receiving them and then throwing the PSSR in our non-believer faces! 
Cheap games - I buy most games from vinted used for £20-30 soon after release

I'm waiting for them now to go on sale or with some game bundle, not paying £700 and another £100 for a drive and £30 more for a stand... The Bundle today was what I was after for the Pro, but that was already gone so now waiting for some sale on them.. no rush and really don't want the white model anyways so will need some coloured plates in black or maybe if the new colours they added look nice in real..
Pro still in stock with no queue now, all that fuss for nothing
because people were out to scalp the limited edition stuff it seems... the regular pro will not sell out.. It's too expensive , the bundle at least made it feel special for the price and you can say ohh well its a limited edition and nice to have... the regular one naa not for £700...
