If you play disk games 100%, gaming is dirt for me as i can resell my games and buy from websites that offer a price less than RRP.

Yeah probably best to get a disc one and can grab digital games as well as anything on offer on Amazon/Game etc and what not

Seen the above offer too with FC 24 which I want so I’m gonna go with that

You can buy the disk tray later on for the new digital one if that helps.

The current disk version of the console is on sale for £410 with FC24 on the rain forrest and multiple other websites, if you can get it before the sale ends i really would.

Don't buy from Game/Amazon as they are usually the worst when it comes to prices. Try www.thegamecollection.net and www.hit.co.uk for the best prices.

Sony just announced the revised PS5 models; along with the add-on drive for the Digital Edition:

New look for PS5 console this holiday season

Smaller PS5 design comes with 1TB storage for PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition; new model provides option to add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive to PS5 Digital Edition.

Purely a manufacturing cost reduction exercise.

Digital version is now identical tooling to the disc version except for the single plastic panel that needs removing to fit the disc drive.

Surprised that they are not just making one SKU and if you want a disk drive you have to buy it separately.

I don't like how you now have to buy a separate stand for vertical orientation.

But huzzah for an extra 300GB of storage! I am definitely going to hold out now.

 

[darkgen]

This is simply a cosmetic update?

175GB, current model is 825GB

175GB extra onboard storage. Aside from that yeah.

LOL, yes. I think it's 660-odd after system reservations. And it won't be 930GB thereafter either, I am thinking of PC blank drives.

Looking at the photos so far, I reckon it'll stay upright on its own without the stand. Certainly with the disc drive attached, at least.

I'll be honest here - in the nearly 3 years of owning my PS5 I've had it stood vertically and have never used the included stand...

Gone back up to £539 with FC 24 now. Seems expensive

Spider-Man 2 gameplay has leaked I think. I haven’t actually seen it. There’s also spoilers kicking around the internet - be careful.

 

[Plainsong]

Not going near any of that.

Just checked the release date 20/10 that’s next Friday! OK just going to grab it digital and pre-load it.

Oof that's a large chunk of drive space.

I preordered it and all installed. Can’t wait!

Recently picked up a PS5 and got myself PS Plus premium. Any recommendations on the very best games plus has to offer? My broadband isn’t the quickest so need to prioritise which I download and try first.
