Agreed, so glad I’ve experienced these games. Have gotten far more enjoyment out of my PS5 than any of my other gaming setups. I’ve certainly gotten good value out of the PS5 collection.

I only had my PS5 a week and it’s by far the best console I’ve had since the N64 (and that’s only because the N64 brings back memories of Goldeneye, Wrestlemania and Gauntlet Legends with my mates for hours every Saturday).
I can’t stop playing God of War (2018) and I’m looking forward to playing the latest one soon. My kids love the Spider-Man games and I already have GoT ready for a play this weekend.

Traded my xbox one s in today for a PlayStation pro. Haven't had a PlayStation for years so not bothered about a ps5 yet. The ps plus pass is absolutely amazing. Gamepass used to be far superior but it isn't anymore.
Safe to safe the first game I'm playing is stray...because why wouldn't you want to be a cat...

I agree, the Playstation subscription model offers a higher quality of games vs Microsoft's Game Pass. However, using the Microsoft Rewards scheme can reduce the cost of maintaining a Game pass sub, even negate it totally. Sony doesn't offer anything similar - if they did, or if MS abandoned the Rewards scheme, then it would be a no contest for value.
that’s one of the reasons why they differ. One sub is a heck of a lot cheaper than the other - thus the games on offer take a hit in quality.

Oh sorry I didn't pick up on the names, I thought there was just 1 dlc coming out, but the burning shore is none vr (which is why I was struggling to work out what you were on about).
Are there any offers or tricks like the 3 x years Gamepass one? I picked up my PS5 during the week, still in it's box until I finish Days Gone. No doubt it will try and force me to sign back up to PS+ as soon as I boot it up.
Buying credit for less than face value, though i have never heard of AUS credit going cheap. Or waiting for Plus sales which happens at least 2 times a year.

It seems the instant resume is a bit different to my old Xbox series S.
I always power the console off. After I power back on sometimes I load Miles Morales and I'm in game and sometimes it loads the main screen and I have to pick my game save to continue. The loading is so fast that it doesn't make a big difference, but I am curious as to why the game only instant resumes sometimes and not others. On Xbox there was some sort of icon on games that were "paused" and can be quick resumed. Is there anything similar on PS5? I guess PS4 games won't support Instant resume but Miles Morales is the PS5 version.

Afaik quick resume only works with a single game at a time. I paused gt7 the other day and put my PlayStation in standby. Booted straight back into the game no issues.

That explains it, at the moment I am booting up a few other games, just to try them for a few minutes, so as soon as I do that I basically lose the quick resume data of the previous game.
Xbox system is much better and clearer for Quick resume tbh, but no big deal, as the PS5 games I tried (so far) all load super fast anyway.

Yes only one game at a time and you’ll stay in game if you use rest mode. Powering off will shut down any running apps/games. Because of the SSD it’s pretty painless either way as it is so fast.

Now I know how it works I can set my 4xoectations accordingly!
But now I'm even more baffled what they're doing with the 175 odd GB that isn't accessible to the user on the 825gb sad! I thought it was all for quick resume, until now!

I rarely use it. Unless I’m doing an hour long race on GT7. Any other game is so fast at loading, Makes quick resume redundant.

That seems to jump up and down in size randomly. Sometimes it’s less than 50GB sometimes way higher. Must be some sort of cache but not sure why. If it was the OS then why would it jump around so much!

Imo they should advertise the actual usable size on the box. I assume the drive in the ps5 is a bit different to the xbox and that's why it's smaller (iirc the xbox is a tad slower).
