Sorely tempted to cancel my physical pre-order and go digital for the extra money.
I'm off work on Friday, so having it pre-installed ready to go from 00:00 on Friday would be great.

Who needs sleep?

I'm still on probation at work so no holidays allowed for another 2 weeks

Sounds like the perfect time to quit!

I think I'll go digital. Be one of those games I'll be playing for a long time I guess, and the option of not having to sell it is sometimes a good thing.

I've gone digital, can't see me ever wanting to trade it in and it's pretty much RRP everywhere physical anyway. The extra quid or 2 is more than worth it for convenience.

Isn't it an extra £10 for the digital version or are they availiable a little cheaper elsewhere?

I've work on the Friday so preload for extra ££ doesn't feel worthwhile. Then again I've gone from not getting this at release to definitely playing it on Friday night so who knows

You can use third party sites to buy PSN codes for less than face value.

Ahhhh, that's a fair point. Thanks for clarifying, new to being back in with consoles having been out of the game since midlife or so of the PS3

Yeah bought £60 of store credit for about £51. You could also buy from another countries store for really cheap if you can be bothered.

That's what I did mate. Originally went with the SE through Amazon but I cancelled and bought the SE on the PSN store. Pre-loaded in about 35-40 mins (I think the SSD in my PS4 helped).

I've got Friday off work so I'll be spamming it hard.

Would you just VPN to another country and open up the PS Store? Any tips on which country is usually best?

Seriously can't wait for this. My most anticipated game this year. Been without a TV for 2 months and have a Samsung 75 inch 8K set coming today just in time for this. Excited to see how this looks on the X upscaled to 8K in HDR

Let us know what the tv is like mate!! Must be one of the first adopters

This. Will. Be.epic.

It’s £59.99 on the Xbox store. There’s no way you got that in credit for £42 on the UK store.

BGGLP · 22 Oct 2018 at 19:05

The hype is real for this one! Can’t believe it drops on Friday. Hope the HDR implementation on the pro is good.

Full map on Reddit, although poor image quality and unconfirmed if legit.

Looks like it's from the official guide book.

No1newts · 22 Oct 2018 at 19:18

Despite horribly limited playtime my external drive arrives tomorrow, will then purchase and preload and try and get as much play in the 4 days I'm actually at home for the 2 weeks after release

Gee · 22 Oct 2018 at 20:00

Horses and weapons are on Reddit too. It's taken from the collectors edition guide.

Didn't specify I got it in the UK

Do people think it will be better on XB1X or Pro? Torn between which one to get it for at the moment.

Really wanted platinum odyssey before this came out but my first born decided to arrive three weeks early so not much gaming time this past 2 weeks.
