They kinda fluffed the explanation of that. They tested the top 100 games to see if the PS5 improved the performance of the game and most did. Pretty much every PS4 game (99%+) is fully expected to at least work on the PS5, and then most will likely see an upgrade in performance.

You would have to wonder why they havent showed it yet then,well i would anyway

They haven't shown anything to do with the system yet, they have been withholding almost everything.

The 250 trade credit offer for the PS4 pro is over now in Gamestop, only getting 200 now. Was planning to trade in this week but might just hold off for a while.

Anyone that's ordered a PS5 from UK, any way of bypassing the requirement for a UK phone number?
Not letting me bypass this earlier, had one ready to buy and all from GAME

I was doing my online grocery shopping on tesco.ie and saw they have page to express interest to pre-order a PS5 and Series X:

https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/expressinterest/

You will need to log in first and then that link will work.

Did you manage to register? Nothing happens for me when I try to register.

Sorry, I didn't try as I already have a pre-order.

I did but didn't work on the mobile, on the Laptop yes, you get to another screen and it's a check box to ask are you okay with being contacted with news about it?

Mate of mine got told to call into the GameStop he ordered his PS5 from as they're no longer communicating over text.

He tried ringing and they were vague about it and continued to say come in and talk to the staff about it.

Hes going in today to find out the story with it, he pre-ordered a few months ago when they were taking interest.

The disaster at GameStop was taking deposits before an official pre order began.

Course we do, it's on the front of the console in the black area towards the bottom (vertical) / left (horizontal). There's two buttons on the normal version (left is power, right is disk eject), and obviously only one on the digital version.

If anything the buttons are far more obvious than on the PS4 and especially the Pro.

You can see the buttons. 2 on the PS5 and 1 on the PS5 Digital Edition



Even more visible in this one



Stubby little buttons

stop trying to stir sh*t.

the power is on the front of the device, even if it wasn't and we didn't know it's not exactly a failure because we don't know where the power button is.

Even if the PS6 was being released next year, I'd worry about Gamestop still being around.

But they'd still take your pre-order though...

Mod note: FAILSAFE, you will receive a ban from this forum if you resort to your usual console war trolling. Enough.

Stir sh*t?? I am having a laugh. Don't take things so seriously.

No one is saying its a failure I am saying we know so little about a console we are buying in 6 weeks :eek:

I have had the PS4 since launch and I'm still not sure which button is which

I go to press a button and wonder "Hmmm does this button put it on standby or eject?" :O One just those things, just can't figure it out. Maybe as I have it on a Vertical stand or maybe it's because I'm thick :P

Just found out today that 'launch window' for Sony could be anywhere before 6 months after launch so might not even get to play R&C until next April :(:( guess Spiderman is gonna have to fill a lot of time for me

If it's like the PS4 launch, he'll say he's getting one and then give out incessantly about it...

Yes, Smyths pre-order.

Thankfully I couldn't actually order it in Gamestop that day. Initially I thought Gamestop and I'd trade the PS4 Pro against the PS5 in a one of those console launch deals but it seems I may have been lucky on both fronts because it looks like Gamestop are not doing a deal for a PS4 Pro trade in against the PS5.
