All you need is 15 or 20 more like me who want peripherals and even waiting until the announcement dates and prices may be too late.

PSN sales tend to be very competitively priced, and even if you lose out on the ability to trade in, it means you do get to keep your game. It's nice knowing I have hundreds of games in my catalogue and I can quickly jump into any of them at any time, without having half my living room taken up or having to worry about discs getting scratched or anything either. I also like to know that more of my money is going to the people who actually make the games, rather than game stores leeching a bunch off the top (or all of it in the case of second hand games)

Also, the gamestop I was in (dundrum) said they have a good few preorders already in, and at this point, it's the accessories that you may want to consider preordering for, the headset, charging station, extra controllers etc.

I want the headset and camera too so will probably need close to €70 for the deposit I reckon, minimum €50 iirc for the console, and probably €10 or maybe €20 per peripheral. Plus Ghost of Tsushima this month too. Bad month for the car to decide to have issues!

If the 4K player in the PS5 is as good as the Blu Ray player in the PS3, I'll be definitely shelling out the bit extra for the physical drive version though.

Markitron wrote: » They have. They haven't confirmed it for every game though. They said the vast majority will work but there might be the odd game that doesn't. I'd be fairly confident there will be older and/or obscure titles that don't run properly, but any game of note will be fine.
