Mines dpd between 8-9am

 

[Plainsong]

9-10am for me. Well that’s just about perfect then!

Anywhere have the optical drive in stock yet?

Stock got worse over the last few weeks. Some places where I live don't know when they will stock it again.

I'm going to remove the drive from my PS5 slim instead.

 

[Mobius 1]

Welp. Mine won’t be here til Friday. Enjoy your shiny new toy guys

 

[darkgen]

Don't get too hyped if you play Baldurs gate 3

It's patched for ps5 pro but because it's a cpu limited game and the pro has the same cpu as the base system, that gpu power doesn't get used




A whole 1% faster in that part of the map

For the price, the pro should have had a better cpu

This is slightly disingenuous mind. As it is known the game is CPU bound but in open play it does show ~10% increase in FPS if you watch the video. Agree, it's paltry and I would hope the "enhanced for pro" update provides more than just a bump in FPS.

No one online currently has them, your best bet might be a local store if you have such a thing.

 

[ProStreet]

Debating whether to return mine when it arrives tomorrow. Though I’m sure it’ll be worth it for future games

That's the thing. This will be needed for gta 6 unless it's cpu limited.

Can't find one anywhere either.

Although just picked up spiderman 2 for £14 using a psn Japan code (full English version) so swings and roundabouts in terms of cost.

Does this mean you need to create a Japanese PS account?

Yeah it's very easy to though. Took me about 5 minutes. You can play on your main account using game share after.

I remember gta 5 was cpu demanding as well, doesn't paint a rosy picture for gta 6 im worried

 

[Skynet5]

Most my local Argos have them in stock for immediate collection, worst case collection at 5pm today.

Clearly not generational launch popular, but at least they have built enough.

 

[fantasticCG]

You guys think the cpu will be an issue?

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Mine is still saying “We are expecting it” on Royal mail tracking. Was hoping the game collection would use DPD but never mind.

 

[ProStreet]

It will still be slightly better, can't be any worse so will be the best console to play gta 6 either way.

 

[ZXSpectrum]

I have not received a DPD update this morning but my colleague has a delivery coming at about 10 so hopefully its on the same delivery. We sometimes have several different DPD deliveries daily.

 

[xaldub]

No time yet for delivery of my Pro. I suspect it will be late efternoon / early evening ... I live close to the DPD depot so they often make me the last stop. I'm working today anyway.

 

[xaldub]

You guys think the cpu will be an issue?

In CPU intensive games ... yes. The Pro will only give a 10% max uplift in those games. I think the main draw for the Pro will be for future 1st party titles, that will be built from the ground up to take advantage of the increased performance. Third party games will be a mixed bag ... just as they are on PC.
