I'm pretty happy about the free upgrade, it's wasn't a given. Too bad they didn't do it for Spiderman, ended up selling my PS4 copy and rebuying on PS5 to get the 60 fps + RT mode.

Never played it because I was waiting to play it on PS5. I pretty much played nothing from 2020 on PS4 other than Persona 5 Royal because I wanted to wait for 60 fps patches on PS5. Probably will break down and play TLOU II on PS4 though once PS4 gets hacked since it doesn't look like we're getting a 60 fps patch for it.

Damn Astro's Playroom is pretty cool, nostalgic AF with all the Playstation systems and accessories you're looking for. Is the VR game of similar or better quality? If the VR set is something sane like $300 I might be an early adopter for it, especially if I can get Half Life Alyx on it. If it's going to be $500 though no thanks.

LOL most of what I expect to play in 2021 is PS4 games with 60 fps patches like Ghost of Tsushima, Dragon Quest XI S, and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Just got Dragon Quest for $28 from Amazon and FFVIIR for $30 from Walmart (FFVIIR gets a free PS5 upgrade in June).

Though I did pay full price for Miles Morales Ultimate so will soon finally get apalisoc_9 off my ass about not playing Spiderman yet (but not until after Ghost of Tsushima). I'll probably pay full price for Ratchet & Clank Rift too. Fully do not expect Horizon Forbidden West this year, nor Elden Ring, nor Dying Light 2. Might buy Cyberpunk when I see it for $20 just to play the PS5 upgrade at the end of the year. Will probably wait out Demon's Souls until it's cheap since I already played it on PS3. Though prob won't be cheap until 2022.

Astro's Playroom is pretty awesome for a 6 hour game, pretty cool history of Playstation, though they left out the part when Nintendo double-crossed them when they were making the Playstation as a disc add-on to the SNES. LOL Nintendo creating their biggest competition because they wanted to sell them out and go with Phillips instead at the last minute. :lol I think it would have been a great buy at $20, or $10 on sale, if it wasn't a pack-in game.

Can't say the DualSense feels like anything all that groundbreaking. I think the Switch joycons do haptics better, maybe since you have each hand wrapped around a joycon when you have them split. But so few games on Switch use HD Rumble.

System is whisper quiet, at least playing Astro's Playroom and Miles Morales. Way quieter than my PC. Miles Morales looks pretty fucking impressive at 60 fps with RT on. Looks much better than what my 1660 Super can render. Would be really interested to see how much you could turn up the graphics dials and still get 60 fps on RDR2 on this system.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't run 1080p60 on PS4. Though at least based on the PC version of the game, it'll look a lot better rendered at 4k because the anti-aliasing is terrible on P5S. Don't sleep on LG TVs man, they're the best gaming TVs for the money on the low end (high-end too) since they have lower latency than most other brands in general.

This should be the direct link for the Digital Edition on Walmart, though I wouldn't expect another restock for a couple of weeks.

https://affil.walmart.com/cart/buynow?items=493824815

Best Buy has supposedly built up stock for a release this week too. Here is a tracker you can set alarms with:

https://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/sonyps5/

Best Buy you might have a reasonable shot with since their add to cart button makes everyone wait some random time (everyone the same though) and then you click the button to place the order. So it can't be spammed as easily by bots as Target and Walmart are. Much better chance you're at least competing with other humans when trying to order off Best Buy.

Also here is one more tracker. Sometimes a drop will show up on the first tracker I link, sometimes only on this one, but most of the time on both trackers.

One thing to note is I got mine in the last drop they did on that date, so maybe they just do a much bigger drop to end things. The four drops before then I lost the system in checkout each time. So as frustrating as it is, just keep going with it until their drops are over.

So is every console release from now on going to have this same artificial scarcity bullcrap marketing ploy applied to it?

There is no way they want these to be hard to get, they're losing their asses on the hardware and make their money off games and subscription services. They take a 30% cut on digital game sales and around a 10-15% cut on physical and the subscription services like PS Plus and PS Now are almost pure profit. But when scalpers have these systems they're obviously not buying games and if someone pays $800 or $900 for the system instead of $540 they're going to be buying less games most likely. And same for subscription. This is the exact opposite of what Sony wants with this launch. They want as many gamers to have these so can collect from those revenue streams that make the console space so lucrative for Sony.

baseline bum
03-05-2021, 11:28 AM
This console release period is like a perfect storm of things making them hard to get:

1. Gaming demand is through the roof because COVID is keeping people inside

2. They're being sold online only to keep from having big lines at stores, so scalpers can use bots to snatch them up and deny them to regular buyers.

3. Both the PS5 and XBox Series X are ridiculously good hardware for $500 and both Sony and Microsoft are selling them at a significant loss.

4. There is a shortage on silicon manufacturing thanks to COVID

5. There is an enormous demand for production at TSMC aside from the consoles, since AMD also has a new line of PC cpus and gpus that are hugely in demand. Plus demand at TSMC for Smartphone chips is really high too.

Just a perfect storm of sky high demand and lowered supply right now combined with middlemen leeches getting in the way. It's twice as bad if you're trying to build a gaming PC now since cryptocurrency is through the roof so China is buying a ton of PC gpus to mine ethereum with since their electricity costs are so low.

Exclusive: Target PS5 restock to happen this week – here's when it could be
By Matt Swider 5 hours ago

Target PS5 restock is expected anywhere from now to Thursday. Here's how you'll be the first to know.

Tuesday update: The Target PS5 restock is this week, according to information sent to TechRadar by multiple Target employees who sent us tips on Twitter. The restock will likely launch in the morning as an online-exclusive order before Target stores open, and offer the option for in-store pickup.

We uploaded more photos of Target PS5 and Xbox restock being readied at stores around the US, both in the front (kiosks) and in the back (boxes in inventory). Be sure to follow our console restock Twitter tracker to get instant PS5 and Xbox stock alerts.

TechRadar can confirm that Target employees have been preparing for a PS5 restock for this week, and it could happen as soon as tomorrow. An Xbox Series X restock is also being prepped for the same online-only ordering process, employees tell us.

"We have roughly 8 Xbox consoles and 22 PS5 consoles," we were told in a direct message on Twitter by a Target employee who wishes to remain anonymous. Across three Target stores, employees told us that there are many more PS5 Disc Editions and very few to no PS5 Digital Editions for the impending Target restock.

Want to know when? Follow our PS5 restock Twitter tracker to receive alerts the minute the Target PS5 stock goes live. It's the fastest way to get real-time updates.
Important: The Target employees stressed to not show up at stores to order either console. These are online-only orders with an in-store pickup option. We're hearing that the PS5 restock is "likely" be as soon as Monday morning from our sources. That leaves open the possibility it could be later in the week. We'll let you know as soon as it happens via Twitter.

Two things to keep in mind: It could be this morning, and we'll be awake to sound the alarm via Twitter as soon as orders go live. Or it could be another day this week. Target loves to surprise us with early morning consoles drops, but employees aren't always aware of when they happen. They just know when inventory peaks.

Notable streamer Cameron Ritz, or Killercam1020 on Twitch, suggests that it could be as late as Thursday. "One of the people who I’ve talked to about Target said that they typically go live 1.5 weeks after stores start seeing inventory," Ritz divulged. "I believe that was Monday this past week when they started getting inventory. Unless there’s some kinda delay my guess is Thursday."

Target PS5 inventory shows up in kiosks

Here's another tell that consoles are coming soon: Target customers nationwide found PS5 inventory show up in kiosks on Sunday night ahead of the expected sale. Twitch streamer MyGuyMcFly snapped and sent a photo to TechRadar, seen below, showing 18 PS5 consoles in stock at a local Target in Minnesota, suggesting they have at least some inventory.

Even more PS5 consoles are stockpiled at a Target in Austin, Texas, with customer Esteban reaching out to us on Twitter to share a photo in a direct message.

"I went to my local Target a few minutes ago and they have some in stock," he told us. The screen shows 25+ PS5 consoles on hand and 41 in the back. None were being sold just yet. He noted, "For PS5 Digital Edition, they only have 6, so I’m most likely aiming for the Disc version."

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/PaJVEpyUmtLjdccQuz3XtY-970-80.jpg.webp

We're likely to see more photos of inventory from Target employees and customers as the restock date approaches, if it's not in fact Monday morning.

So when will Target restock PS5 and Xbox?

Because the the three Target employees who talked to us and the customers who sent us kiosk photos are from different parts of the US, there's a good chance this is a nationwide restock – whenever it happens.

We saw something similar two weeks ago when both the PS5 and Xbox Series X were sold online for in-store pickup. The consoles only lasted a few minutes before Target completely ran out of stock. The good news is it wasn't as hard to get ahold of either console compared what people went through during the Walmart and Best Buy restocks late last week.

Pro tip: Target does online-only orders, but allows for in-store pickup. This means some stores, especially those in big cities, will run out more quickly. Try to adjust your pickup location if your nearest store runs out.

TechRadar went to visit the Herald Square store in Manhattan, and employees there said they don't often carry the PlayStation 5. So it may be available on a store-by-store basis. The next closest Target with likely inventory was their larger Harlem store, which didn't return our phone calls. The first thing their automated message machine insists is they they don't give out PS5 and Xbox restock information.

Last time there was a major Target PS5 restock, it happened at 8am EST, so it's best to be prepared to wake up early, even if you're on the West Coast. However, there are no guarantees that Target will launch orders a 8AM EST on Monday. It could be earlier (Target has done that before), it could be later, or it could be as later this week.

TechRadar also has several photos of boxes in the Target backroom showing Xbox Series X and PS5 inventory. We initially withheld those pictures until we could ensure there were no markings that could be traced back to our sources.

PS5 has been nearly impossible to find in stock for more than a few minutes every time stores restock the Sony console. We're finding the same can be said about the Xbox Series X. Both Sony and Microsoft launches their respective consoles in November 2020 and haven't been able to manufacturer enough to meet demand.

Stores like Target, Walmart and Best Buy routinely add new stock to their stores and the crush of people coming to their sites often crashes the pages. Four months after the initial launches, it's still a burden to buy a next-gen console, even after months of customers constantly trying their luck.

Exclusive: Target PS5 restock to happen this week – here's when it could be
By Matt Swider 5 hours ago

Target PS5 restock is expected anywhere from now to Thursday. Here's how you'll be the first to know.

Tuesday update: The Target PS5 restock is this week, according to information sent to TechRadar by multiple Target employees who sent us tips on Twitter. The restock will likely launch in the morning as an online-exclusive order before Target stores open, and offer the option for in-store pickup.

We uploaded more photos of Target PS5 and Xbox restock being readied at stores around the US, both in the front (kiosks) and in the back (boxes in inventory). Be sure to follow our console restock Twitter tracker to get instant PS5 and Xbox stock alerts.

TechRadar can confirm that Target employees have been preparing for a PS5 restock for this week, and it could happen as soon as tomorrow. An Xbox Series X restock is also being prepped for the same online-only ordering process, employees tell us.

Sony will just assume you got a bundle or something. If the place you buy it it's legit but are over selling a console, it's not really illegal.

Getting the order placed is only the first form of the boss fight though, you haven't beaten him until you caught the FedEx/UPS/Amazon guy when he parks in front of your house so he is forced to give you the package instead of walking to the back of the truck, seeing it's a PS5, and then driving off claiming could not deliver.

Do they not come in standard brown boxes? I have never bought something that didn’t come in a nondescript brown box. I guess it makes sense when it’s delivered to houses. Up here, you better make that shit indistinguishable because if you’re not home you’re counting on the post office not to “lose” your item. Lol

The other option is an access point which most of the time is the nearest supermarket when Post office is closed.

2. Dragon Quest XI S
3. Final Fantasy VII Remake (though will wait for PS5 patch in June to play)

Is Cyberpunk worth paying anything more than $20 for?

Control was good, but I should note I didn't play it before, so I didn't get to experience the crappy PS4 poorstation version. It has nice DualSense integration and raytraced looks nice.

Demon's Souls obviously is there, same game but looks incredible as well.

Hitman 3 wasn't anything special and it was too short to boot. I love the series, but it's just a money grab right now.

God of War at 60 is nice too.

COD wasn't as good as the previous one, story and action wise, but it wasn't bad either.

Assassin's Creed was more of the same (which might be ok with you). They need to shake up the formula again a bit.


Is Cyberpunk worth paying anything more than $20 for?

$20 sounds about right. Maybe $15.

I mean, I had a lot of crashes on PS5 (haven't tried recent patches), but otherwise it performed and looked ok.

The game has incredible tech in it, it's just a shame it was so buggy from the get go.

It's a bit slow early in the year right now, but it should pick up a bit come summer and heading to the holidays.

Demon's Souls looks amazing graphically, but I have played the shit out of that on PS3. Hell, that game was the single reason I even bought a PS3. :lol

AC games after the Ezio trilogy feel like busywork, like the 2010s-20s version of closing Oblivion gates. Love God of War, have the plat on that shit, will def go back and play again at 60 fps. Well, should say had the plat, fucking forgot to sync trophies before selling my PS4. :lol

Probably will end up picking up Control. Know I can play it free on PoorC but not at a locked 60 fps on a 1660 Super so might be worth picking on PS5.

Dude if you haven't played Tsushima yet and have any free time, it's fucking beautiful on PS5. Hell of a swan song for the PS4 but so much better on PS5.

You think there is actually going to be a lot coming out in summer? I was figuring best to expect lots of delays again this year. Dying Light 2 would be a Day 1 buy for me if it's actually ready. Elden Ring too, though I'd be floored if we see that shit before 2022.

Demon's Souls looks amazing graphically, but I have played the shit out of that on PS3. Hell, that game was the single reason I even bought a PS3. :lol

AC games after the Ezio trilogy feel like busywork, like the 2010s-20s version of closing Oblivion gates. Love God of War, have the plat on that shit, will def go back and play again at 60 fps. Well, should say had the plat, fucking forgot to sync trophies before selling my PS4. :lol

Outriders is coming out next month. You can grab and play the demo free on PSN right now. It's another Bulletstorm, which is good and bad, I guess. Nothing epic or memorable, but a decent shooter.

Oddworld: Soulstorm also next month, IIRC, haven't seen it, but I liked the previous Oddworld games. Returnal is also coming out from us.

Deathloop should come out in May. Ratchet and Clank in June. Kena was pushed to August, IIRC.

Then comes the holidays, which always brings plenty of goodies.

Unreal 5 should also officially make a release at some point, that'll get more stuff going. The stuff I'm working on right now is 2-3 years down the line, but it's beastly stuff. Really can't say much more, there should be an announcement at some point this year, I think.

I'm surprised PS Direct doesn't do only digital editions. I know they're probably losing an extra $90 per PS5 upfront selling the digital but the long term earnings potential is so much better when they have you paying full price on every new game off PSN. And especially when they can take 30 cents on the dollar in game sales on PSN.

I see a lot of potential issues with the digital version. Requires online all the time basically and you legit have to wait until they put the games on their servers so you're going to miss out when from time to time stores get the game a week or days early.

I know you can play games offline if you activate your console but as it has happened to me twice now, that feature doesn't always stay on.

Some people get the out of stock message 20-30 seconds or even a minute before others do. That's why you're fast tracked.

I pretty much came to the conclusion that if you're not put within 25-30 minutes from the get go, you're not getting lucky. When I was actually able to get inside the store I was put 20 minutes from the second the queue opened.

But still it's worth waiting at least 10 minutes in the more than an hour phase before calling it quits. Sometimes it goes from +hour to 50-40 etc. If you get stuck in an hour for more than 10 minutes than bail.

that's disappointing, as the graphics in FF7R are fucking laughable for a PS4 triple A title in 2020, especially in comparison to games like LoU2 or Ghosts of Tsushima. but a bump to 60fps might make it worth it. ever since i bought a gaming PC it's hard on my eyes playing 30fps games on console :lol

It's not all PS4 games. Basically a PS4 game's framerate benefits on PS5 over PS4 / PS4 Pro if either there is an explicit PS5 patch or there were unlocked framerate modes on PS4 Pro. So for instance God of War has an explicit PS5 patch to run 4k60, Rise of the Tomb Raider runs a locked 1080p60 since it had a 1080p unlocked framerate mode on PS4 Pro, while The Last of Us Part 2 only runs 1440p30 since there was no unlocked framerate mode and no 60 fps mode on PS4/PS4 Pro and there is no PS5 patch. If you want to look for particular games, this site will tell you:

https://www.backwards-compatible.com/

I have already found an error though: they say Dragon Quest XI S runs 60 fps on base PS4 when it only runs 30 fps there. The 60 fps mode was reserved for PS4 Pro, and by extension PS5 since PS5 plays games in PS4 Pro mode if available.

One of the biggest night and day differences on PS5 vs PS4 is supposed to Sekiro. That it's rock solid 60 fps on PS5 while being an unstable 30 fps on base PS4 and a variable framerate mess on PS4 Pro with the unlocked framerate. The biggest omission is Bloodborne, which will be forever 1080p30 thanks to Sony basically gutting Japan Studios.

I posted links pages back that directly add the PS5 to your shopping cart when available.

Walmart seems to restock every two weeks or so, so you probably won't get an opportunity until then. They also announce their drops beforehand. I didn't know about the first drop at 3:00PM EST yesterday but one of the trackers I set an alarm for alterted me it was in stock at 3PM EST yesterday. By the time I got there it was too late for the 3:00 drop but they do more drops every ten minutes. Eg they did a 3:10 drop, a 3:20 drop, a 3:30 drop, and a 3:40 drop.

If you went to the product page before 3:00PM EST it would have a message saying will be available at 3:00PM EST. So at 2:59PM EST start loading and reloading that direct add to cart link until you get it in your cart or say it reaches 3:02PM and you haven't gotten one in cart. If you get it in cart complete the transaction ASAP. Usually you'll be too slow and will have been sold (happened when I got it in the cart at 3:10, 3:20, and 3:30). But maybe you get lucky.

If you miss the 3:00EST drop the product page then says it'll be available again at 3:10EST, so you do the same shit again. Eg start refreshing the direct add to cart page I linked at 3:09 until you get it in cart and then try to get checked out ASAP. And just keep doing this until you either get one or the product page says out of stock and there are no more times it'll be available again.

Here is the product page for PS5 disc version if I haven't linked it before:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/PlayStation-5-Console/363472942

Good luck if you try, it's a real bitch trying to land one of these. If you want Miles Morales and Demon's Souls though I'd jump on that Gamestop bundle, those will be way easier to get when they become available since all the extras they add in will eat up most of any PS5 scalper's profit (these systems don't sell for $1000+ anymore like they did before Christmas). Even if you don't normally buy PS Plus (I'm pretty sure it's part of the Gamestop bundle) it's a pretty badass deal right now with all the included PS4 games plus Control PS5 edition.

Also Reck, if you're not going to make a username and input a credit card beforehand, don't even bother with buying from Walmart. You have to race through the checkout once you get a PS5 in cart so if you're having to input anything other than your CVV you're not going to get one. So make sure you have your CVV memorized too, because Walmart.com will ask for it during checkout.

And if you want the Digital Edition, here is the direct add to cart link:


This should be the direct link for the Digital Edition on Walmart, though I wouldn't expect another restock for a couple of weeks.

https://affil.walmart.com/cart/buynow?items=493824815


I have to reiterate if you do not have a Walmart.com account and don't have a credit card with all the info already pre-entered before trying to buy, you have zero chance of making it through checkout in time even if you get a system in your shopping cart. Also Digital Edition is supposed to be tougher to get than the disc version for what I have heard.

It'll take you to your shopping cart I think. Or there will be a go to cart link. Obviously you're not going to be able to use it to get a system in your cart right now before any of the systems have been released for sale. You'll see that out of stock message every time you refresh until they come into stock. And you need to refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh starting a minute or so before the scheduled drop.

TPA_Grunge_97 3 points 6 hours ago*

I just got 2 of them today, both from Walmart. I got one for me and one for my buddy using his Walmart account. The trick is to use the app. You let the first wave sell out and make sure you don't refresh the page. You want the "add to cart" button to stay on the page. If you refresh once a wave is "sold out" it will go away and be replaced with something that says "this item will be available again in 10 minutes." They do it in waves every 10 minutes to allow them to identify the bots and then return those illegitimately purchased items to the stock pool before they reopen purchasing. This goes on and on the more bots there are. For the Xbox Series X today it only happened 3 times, but for the Ps5 it's still going on right now. As soon as the time it says it will be back in stock hits, wait 3 seconds and then hit add to cart. Make sure you are logged into a walmart account with shipping and payment info already entered. Click through the checkout as fast as you can (you'll need to have the 3 digit code on your card memorized) and BOOM!

Using a browser to know while letting the app unrefreshed?

when the add to cart button is blue, if you hit it, it will say "this item could not be added it just went out of stock." so instead of refreshing the page or closing the app, just keep an eye on the clock. when it gets to the 9th min, just keep trying to add it until it actually does, and go checkout as quick as you can. thats how i did it

you dont know when it says it will be back in stock per se, but its always 10 min intervals. you can keep a browser open and the app on your phone if you wanna try it that way. but all i did was open the app, wait til the add to cart button was blue, wait til the 9th min, smash the add button until it actually adds in and check out.

The game probably has moved a lot of consoles already. More than 6 million PS5 had been sold as of the beginning of the month. About on par with, maybe a little more than PS4 sales in the same window. It's just the demand is ridiculous for PS5. Also, Demon's Souls is a big fish in a small pond right now. Not sure it would be doing better if it was say a fall 2021 game competing with Dying Light 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Resident Evil Village, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, etc. Right now anyone buying a PS5 is either getting Miles Morales or Demon's Souls, and a lot of people are probably getting both. Also the PS Plus attach rate is huge right now. Can't imagine Sony is going to be giving away half their PS4 greatest hits collection on PS Plus say a year from now like they are right now, so that PS Plus attach rate is going to plummet.

Sounded desperate there. I doubt that guy is making money spending $550 each and only getting 6/13 working. You can get them brand new in the ~$800 range on ebay so no way he's getting more than $700 for the untested personally refurbished ones he's selling.

I'd still take that over paying a scalper $650 and you don't get a warranty on a piece of hardware you're being an early adopter for. You should be able to sell the DualSense unopened for around $50 on ebay and even if one of the games is crap, like NBA 2k21, you'll still be able to sell it online for $45 or so.

Ouch, sucks on Avengers. Pretty shitty of Gamestop to bundle that garbage in. Miles Morales looks fucking beautiful on PS5, really impressed by the original Spiderman PS5 patch too. Both Spiderman's default to 30 fps quality mode though, gotta go in and change them to 60 fps + RT mode manually.

What are you planning on playing when the system gets in? I'm currently a few hours into Spiderman, pretty awesome game that I'm glad I waited for the PS5 version for. Not sure whether I'll play Yakuza 5, Persona 5 Strikers, or Dragon Quest XI S after. Kind of leaning Dragon Quest. Almost bought Yakuza Like a Dragon but then thought I still want to play 5 & 6 first so maybe Like a Dragon will be cheap by the time I get around to wanting to play it. I doubt I'll buy Nier Replicant since like Demon's Souls, I played the shit out of it on PS3 and will wait until both are kind of cheap to buy them. I do think Replicant has an even better story than Automata though, and with much better characters. Combat is a lot better in Automata, though I think Platinum is working on the Replicant Remaster so maybe they brought their combat system to Replicant too? That would be killer. If you ever play Replicant a lot of weird shit in Automata will make sense, like Emil or Project Gestalt or the wood masks the robots were all wearing in that robot orgy in the desert.

Wanted to save this neat surprise for when I actually got it in hand but I've got a neat surprise here..

https://i.imgur.com/9BVfeE6.jpg

Was able to buy the 3 game, 2 controller bundle from gamestop that dropped on March 25th. Ended up paying nearly the thousand bucks I didn't wanna pay. Bundle was priced at 760 dollars but shipping, taxes, etc it ran me 829 dollars in total to be exact. Sucks because the games aren't that great but oh well, I got it and it looks like I'm getting fast

Neat.

Luck played into it.

They actually created a label the same day I bought it but it stayed like that up until Sunday and then sunddenly I get the UPS email notifying me of the delivery. It's coming from New Jersey so that might explain the quicknes. Right now tracking says it's made it's way from Monroe Township to Saddle brook.

My shit is literally 30 minutes away. lol

Nah, it's tomorrow.

When I said 30 minutes I meant distance from New York to where ever the fuck Saddle Brook, New Jersey is. I just did a google.

I'm going to wake up extra early tomorrow and will also wait in the lobby. I have had atrocious experiences with UPS. Often getting a missed you sticker thingy even though I was home.

You have it standing up or on it's side? I'm not sure I'm going to have room to stand that fucker up in my gaming room so I hope it works just as well on it's side

Standing. The thing is wobbly as hell and the blu ray drive is a pain to get to lying down. I wanted to lie it down too like every other console I have, but it's very clearly designed to stand up.

I wouldn't hold my breath on getting one with the way Microsoft is projecting cost per transistor savings on 3nm to be minimal vs what they are on the current 7nm lithography and PS5 / XBox Series use pretty similar SOCs. There will be a PS5 Slim on 3nm because it'll save Sony money on cooling and the power supply and enable them to put it in a smaller case, but if they're not going to get the cost per transistor savings they got shrinking 28nm to 16nm last gen, which enabled PS4 Pro at the original base PS4 price, don't expect a stronger PS5 unless they release one that's going to cost significantly more. Maybe they see the demand would be there for say an $800 PS5 Pro and make one capable of doing native 4k or capable of doing 120 fps in more games, but I'm not sure I'd expect to see such a system for $500. Unless Microsoft is just lying. Maybe they are.

Got this bitch ass. Been setting it up.

I'm essentially ready to go just fucking around with external hard drive. It has been unable to read files even though its in FAT32 format and the files are mp3 and mp4. It's taking me a couple of hours and still nothing lol

Didn't it take forever for PS4 to support music files too?

Ratchet & Clank just got a patch for 4k60 on PS5. Went live a couple of hours ago I think.

Got it to work by reformatting external into exfat instead of fat32 which its stupposed to recognize and play anyways. Horrible player.

I'll keep the PS3 as the media player of choice. Now time to migrate my saves and stuff from PS4 to PS5 and call it a day. I feel tired as shit from waking up early. Tomorrow...the fapping.

The LED lights on this are distracting when you’re trying to watch a movie. The light source is significant.

Still 50 minutes to go to for transfer to complete.

50 minutes? Just to do game saves from PS4?

No, that would have been like 3 gigs. I also chose to transfer GOW, Ghost of Tsushima, Yakuza 0, Spider-Man downloads along with it. Overall 160gbs. It was 3 hours but stabilized to around 90 minutes.

Wait you transferred the games instead of just reinstalling them? Dude, don't transfer Spiderman from your PS4 if you got Miles Morales Ultimate. The PS5 version of Spiderman Remastered is different from the PS4 one. To download the PS5 version of Spiderman Remastered you have to install Miles Morales first, then go into your game library, find Spiderman Remastered (it'll be there when you install Miles Morales Ultimate), and choose Download from there. It's retarded, one thing XBox does way better is the Smart Delivery.

Damn, Foxconn says to expect chip shortages until Q2 2022, eg next summer. Glad I got one of these bastards already. Gonna be rough for Sony trying to sell games when no one can get a PS5. And no reason for devs to rush games like Ragnarok or Elden Ring out this year.

Loving it.

The interface is a lot cleaner and way more streamlined so new users will fine it very easy to use.

There are a few things I dont like about it like when turning the console off you have to do some extra clicking whereas before you just had long press the PS button and then shut it off from there. Now you have to navigate your way to it. Annoying.

I haven't played any real games on it yet. Been fooling around with the media aspect of it. Less than pleased. There are a few features missing that were on the PS3 and PS4. Hopefully this just gets added later.

I did played Astro's Playroom and working my way to the plat though. Next game on deck is P5 Strikers which I got from Amazon a few days ago.
