What other accessories have you ordered with your console guys?

I'm having a look at the headset and debating whether to go for it or not. Same with the charging station.

Am considering the headset but am waiting for reviews before I jump on it. Media remote will probably be the other item as I'll use Apple TV and Sky Go on it also.

Will order a second controller but waiting on any company to actually get the Charging dock in stock first. Order them together. Easy to get a controller, very hard for charging dock.

Seems that techinn claim to have them but if you look at their reviews nobody trusts them globally and also they list delivery as February 2021. :eek:

In no rush so I'll wait for Amazon to restock as Smyths haven't gotten further stock yet. I can always check the likes of Argos and other non pre order places on or after the 12th/19th.

Didnt bother with the charging dock as I have loads of mobile phone cables around the place. Definitely want to get the headset but that might be after Christmas as I'll be spending enough money on the console and games as it is.

More embargo's up today?

I'm gonna wait for some alternate colours before getting a new controller, a black and red one would be very nice.

Confirmed order for unit itself with drive bay, extra controller and official charging station. Demon Souls and Spiderman preordered...

Will wait for PS5 headset reviews but looks promising. No guarantee of availablity though!

Media remote looks interesting too...

If this is how fast it is on XSX, wonder what PS5 will be like!

Assuming this runs at 60 fps like the last 3 RE games, a nice precedent is being set for next gen

*Dynamic 4K and HDR require a compatible 4K & HDR compatible TV or display

Listed at the bottom on the PS Store page. Hopefully 4K60

Tbh I just assume every game is dynamic 4K, native 4K will become less and less important as the gen goes on anyway.

The newer upscaling methods are pretty good. On my PC DLSS is basically magic. I think the AMD big navi in the consoles have something similar as well. I am hoping for a solid 60 fps, if the resolution drops below 4K, most people won't notice, especially with the new upscaling methods.

Dynamic 4k is upscalled 4k isn't it? So not native 4k.

The 6th seems to be the next date that people can talk about things.

Yeah the US election will be taking up all news this week. Friday seems to be correct.

Resi in first person should hopefully be a great showcase for the Tempest 3D audio! This is probably my most anticipated title of 2021.

Not necessarily, dynamic suggests that it targets native 4K but drops to a lower res to accommodate the framerate. Upscaled 4K generally refers to a game running at a locked lower resolution with reconstruction up to 4K, for example the checkerboard method popular on PS4 Pro.

I don't know why that game seems to be a thing, despite knowing nothing about it it reminds me of Knack and I want nothing to do with it.

Will my PS4 Turtle beach headset work on the PS5 ?

I've a turtle beach 70x or something that I bought last year on xbox one. I've looked it up online and it's stated as being ps5 compatible.

Wasn't the most comfortable headset nor was sound quality great so I'll be looking to purchase a new one

For those who want it, Shadow of War has a free 4K pack to go with the free PS+ game - https://store.playstation.com/en-ie/search/shadow of war -

It's by the same guys that made Octodad and that was a big success for them. It's free so I'll probably download it to give it a go.

Ask Turtle Beach - https://eu.turtlebeach.com/pages/ps5-headset-compatibility - Likely it will work if it's not on this list though. But we won't know for sure till the console comes out!

It seemed to have some weird cult following as soon as it was announced, much like knack has now. I will probably try it too.

Its like he just falls through the map. Some of these ssd drives won't play well with some of the PS4/Xbox1 generation.

Do remember that this is without any optimisation patch. These issues will/can be fixed.

I thought you couldn't use Sky Go on devices connected to a TV, only mobile devices.

I’ve had it on my PS4 before I sold it, so there’s no issue.

There’s a Sky app for PS4 called TV From Sky which is essentially Sky Go, glad they’re keeping them on the next gen consoles!

That's cool. Can you watch live TV?

Yep. Most of the channels (no BBC being the key omission) are there. Sometimes there's rights issues to streaming some programs but the majority work perfectly.

App is still functional on PS3 as well.
