If anyone is interested

I am! Have to say I'm completely intrigued to find out how this thing feels. Hopefully the effects won't be underused (or indeed overused) in titles.

Miles Morales loading time is ridiculous, mere seconds.

Even getting into the game is super quick

That is crazy quick. This is the real next gen improvement here (if you ignore the cartridge generations)

Well lads, my gaming started at about 6 or 7 years old on the Commodore 64. You'd put in a cassette tape and wait 30 minutes to load a game. You'd go eat dinner and pray that the tape didn't jam and you'd have to load it again.

Now here we are, 2 second loading times.

Finally someone of my vintage on here.
I remember being amazed the first time I got a cartridge for the c64, it was Toki which was quickly followed by Terminator 2.

Magicland Dizzy, oh the hours spent on that! And the various loading music.

Spectrum 128k here. So Oh Mummy, Treasure Island or Crazy Golf were the early games I played in that.

On the loading screen tips, did you ever learn anything from them that proved useful? I've actually appreciated them a few times

Dam I loved the old school games started on the amstrad cpc with a green monitor few of my favourites were Roland in the caves and harrier attack and oh mummy the music. The loading screens as the lines gradually made a picture hoping it wouldn’t eat the cassette :-). Picked up an arcade machine for my old school fix. Can’t wait to open up this ps5 such a leap compared to back then.

Ant Attack on the C64, save the girl from oversized ants chasing you around a maze, great times...

I aged years waiting for defender load on my BBC micro

I started on Atari apparently. I don't remember it, but my Mom tells me that my Uncles tried to teach me how to play video games when I was like 2 or 3.

The console, I actually remember playing is the NES, so the instant loading is going back to my childhood .

Atari 2600 and Desert Falcon here what a game haha

All I had were the cartridges that came with the system, such as Tooth Invaders, and they never struck me as impressive, as they were lesser games than the cassettes (in my mind). I do remember being seriously impressed by the speed of which Granny’s Garden loaded on the floppy disks in school.

Tempest audio’s got nothing on the Commodore SID chip.

Mr Crispy

BBC B. Before we got the tape drive, we had to type the fucking code in ourselves out of a book.

Centipede on the Atari 2600. What a time. Then the C64 with some circus game on cartridge that Google tells me was called Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun. The piracy of games on cassette was rampant Those loading screens almost seizure inducing.

Niska

ah but the loading times allowed some great loading screen music - especislly Last Ninja and Delta

What a magical time for gamers.
when a game had a minigame you could play while loading...that was the business.

Not sure if posted already but the former Platestation was hit with a cease and desist and is no longer offering custom plates.

I can remember in CBS primary in the 80s we used go to school around 7 or 8am just to play those games. Be about 5 of us waiting for the gates to be opened.

You would hope the box including packaging would not be larger than a wheelie bin (95) the other dimensions like a large suitcase size - again, should be hopeful.

PM are not saying no delivery to lockers, they will reject the parcel at their depots so changing to home delivery will not get around that restriction.

Seems very unlikely the PS5s will be hit but really no idea how big of an outer box Amazon is going to put them in.

If only they would just deliver direct to Ireland save time, hassle and money for us all.

Got this email too. I just hope the dimensions given on Amazon are the packaging dimensions and not the actual console dimensions?

Wonder should I use Parcel Wizard or Address Pal? I have accounts with them but haven’t used either yet.

I’m still worried so last night I took my general waste bin in and placed it under my tv just to make sure I’ve enough room for this console. It just barely fits, but hopefully it’ll get through.

:pac:

Increase your insurance cover with PM. You're only covered for €100(?) with PW.
