Does anybody know where you could potentially pre-order now, or is there no hope?

Nowhere is taking guaranteed pre orders at this stage. Waiting lists are your best bet and no guarantee when they'll be fulfilled.

Size comparison between the DualSense and new XB controllers (source).

Now they have the consoles, have any of the sites said when the first embargo is up or what it covers?

They can't (well, they're not supposed to at least) go into the details of the embargo as they're under NDA.



But from what I've gathered they can start going into things next week.

CastorTroy

There's an embargo on the embargo? This the new announcement of a teaser for trailer?

CastorTroy

So of course the source for this comment is youtube comments

27th for unboxing, 6th for some more stuff, and then various embargos for launch games. It's all over the place.

GamingTrendVideos, the crreator of the below video said that in the comments

So console functinality and games can only be talked about in the last week before launch.
Though 10 days between unboxing and the next thing seems a long time

If there is any questions about where can I get a PS5 only refer to this thread. A lot of work has actually gone into it.

.G.

Problem is traffic will keep this and the preorder thread at the top of the page and the other one won't see anywhere near as much will drop down. Needs top be stickied.

shrewdness

Yeah that thread really needs to be stickied. Answers almost all of the questions that will be coming in about getting the PS5.

EoinMcLovin

Yeah there seems to be someone asking in this thread at least once a day if there are any preorders available. Would it make sense to put message in thread title directing to qa thread that is also stickied.

This is kind of a pointless comparison to me. If it was between the PS4 & PS5 controllers it would be better in my opinion.

Yes. If they are disk games you need to get the disk PS5. Digital ones will work on either.

Hope there's a decent number of filters, even if there's not more options for brightness and colour correction at least if there's a decent number of filters it could help.

I've had to use pc to editing some games as they're too dark by default.

Question, if I buy miles morales ultimate from Amazon uk, can I use the code for spiderman on an Irish account?

Varik

Not sure if this is was ever mentioned but seems the PS5 will support 1440p and also 120Hz at 1440p on HDMI 2.0.

While I believe this is true, it's coming from a press release from BenQ who are a big monitor manufacturer and in which they also use the above to help downplay the lack of HDMI 2.1 and that they've only HDR400 displays.

This is actually a good question.....my gut instinct would be no though, especially with Brexit, the separation of the economic zones has always been fairly stark on the PS stores so I'd probably not risk it personally

The price work out the same if you buy it in Smythstoy Ireland or even gamestop don't know why you're buying off amazon.co.uk

"PlayStation 4 games are not region locked, but downloadable content (DLC) and service entitlements (including in-game currencies) are locked to their PlayStation Store region. If the region of the PS Store which sold the DLC does not match the region of the game disc, the downloaded content will not be compatible. As a result, it is recommended that you only purchase games from reputable retailers in your country."

Found this on playstation site

As mentioned previously I've preordered the ps5 through a relative in dubai.i haven't owned a PlayStation in years so I don't have an account.

So my query is if I buy miles morales ultimate here in smyths for example will I be able to download the dlc or will it be deemed incompatible. Or once I setup the ps5 and my account as Irish will I be set to the Irish ps store
