Starting to get nervous that my 4k TV with 50/60HZ refresh rate won't be adequate enough for this. Is anyone buying a new TV or monitor to go with their new console.

Check if your TV, can do 1080p or 1440p at 120 HZ. My TV can do 1080p and 1440p at 120 HZ, so for those game I can drop down to 1440p, and have 120 fps and super sampling, which will look good.

Can't believe I missed pre orders today fingers crossed on more being released

There won't be that many 120HZ games and even if there are they be 1440p.

Thanks Rob should your TV auto update then to run at 1440p in those instances if that's all its receiving from the PS5? Apologies im clueless at TVs

I’ll try this the night before

I was in my local argos the other day and asked about the playstation 5 the man o was talking to said they will be realising the playstation to reserve a few days before launch day, he said for example if the launch day is the 19th Nov start checking around the 15th and onwards..they could come up at any time
thought this might help someone to get a playstation secured

So I put myself on the €50 waiting list on GS there when they first appeared,yes I know it's GS but anyway, last night I got the €50 returned to the revolut card and there was no email that followed either, I only noticed it happened due to the revolut icon appearing on the top of the phone. I went into the revolut purchase history and the GS payment now says reverted.

Anyone else do likewise?

Anyone else getting the 3D headphones on launch day? Another 100 on top of 560ish (including game) is a bit of a leap so was going to wait and trying to convince myself that early games won't be set up to take advantage of it. Am I wrong?

Anyone know if I buy crash bandicoot 4 on the PS4 PlayStation store can I play it on the PS5 ? I know I’ll be able to with FIFA 21. They’re the only two games I’m considering getting before the PS5 launches.

Pre-ordered with GameStop on the 17th of September. Nothing came off my PayPal and no email or history of it on my account. What is the chances of getting this before Christmas? No idea what happened.

Ya, I splashed out on a TV that can do 120fps 4k as I want it to be as future proofed as possible.

How Soon Is Now

All this talk of tvs more money uhhh haha.

I have a Samsung KS7000 I bought few years ago had quick look at the specs last night surely it will do the job for the time being!

Was thinking of getting them, but over ear headphones are sometimes annoying with my glasses.
But could be something for the Santa list.

Payments automatically revert if not completed after 7 days. The payment must have been still pending.

Mr Crispy

I think I'll wait for feedback on the Pulse headset. I've too many headphones right now to be buying more that I may not need.

DraftDodger

In the market for some sort of gaming platform and just throwing this out there for people in the know. Is it worth my while waiting and buying the new playstation 5 or just getting the playstation 4 and saving myself some money. I have a playstation 3 sitting in the spare room but i use it mostly for streaming netflix, watching youtube etc.. and only play the od old game on it like GTA and FIFA. Thanks in advance.

Ah that's fair enough but I had an 11 year old block of a yoke that needed a refresh. Changing inputs was a chore. So much easier now.
Now, bring on the new consoles!

Almost definitely. I think they are releasing it with MP on Ps5.

What games are everyone getting for ps5 ?
Are you going to buy them all that once?
How many games would you normally play

I would say my top 3 are

Fifa
Call of duty
Gta

Looking at something different for a change any recommendations?

Have the new Spiderman pre-ordered as the ultimate edition so I get the original too as I never played it.

Also gonna grab ratchet and clank whenever that comes out as I loved those games on PS2!

I have a pre order from the first night it went up, says my shipping is free, but on the page it says free shipping is excluding consoles, not sure how that works if it says I have free shipping?

My son currently has an Xbox one but has hinted at a ps5 for Christmas - what’s the thoughts on disc vs digital version ??

The disc version is 100 quid dearer but the games may be a few quid cheaper on disc, the digital is cheaper but the games may be a fair bit more expensive if you have to buy off the playstation store...

The KS7000 we got (and UK maybe EU not sure) is actually a rebranded KS8000, so if checking stats that's what you'd want.
