    I'm the same, picking up Cyberpunk the same time as the PS5 but really want Demons Souls launch day so will get it argos if I can reserve it or from smyths if still available. I definitely won't make a habit of paying 80 for games but DS at launch will be an exception if it has to be.

    **** it, I'm just gonna bite the bullet and pre-order it.

    So launch day I will be picking up DS5 disk drive, the camera, Demon's Souls and Cyberpunk.

    An expensive but extremely enjoyable day, no doubt.

    Unless they send them early I would say it is highly unlikely

    Getting the camera as well, hope this time it will show you in gameplay clips also and not just in live stream broadcasts.

    I'm mostly getting it to continue using my PSVR. Sold my original camera with the PS4, I am not arsed waiting weeks for Sony to send me the adaptor.

    Yeah, I don't mind pre-ordering a couple of games at full whack, just so I have something to play on launch day. After that, I'll be more picky with where I purchase. For me, it'll be Demon's Souls and Miles Morales. I'll leave the camera until/if I invest in PSVR.

    Miles Morales will be next on the list for me after those two, which I expect will take me a while to get through.

    Yeah, if anything I think CP may take me too long to get through! So I'm going to leave that for the Christmas period when I'll pick it up on PC.

    I'm going to hold off on Cybepunk til a next-gen upgrade is available. Unless I am wrong the PS5/SX versions will really only get a load time improvement - they will be the backwards compat versions of the game.

    This isn't true. They have promised a patch with enhancements day one with PS5/XSX. They haven't detailed what these initial enhancements are but its safe to assume it will be running at a higher resolution and/or framerate.

    Sony haven't stated the PS5 HD Camera will work for PSVR. The general consensus suggests it won't work.
    That's without any official news on it. So nobody really knows.
    I don't know why Sony didn't state it in the blog post on accessories and compatibility with PS5.
    They only mention the PS4 camera, with the addition of the free request-able adapter for PSVR on PS5.
    I ordered the new one anyway.

    anyone dealt with fashionworld.co.uk looking at the ps5 pre orders should I be wary thanks

    I honestly thought they did, I would be shocked if it didn't work

    I see that some Japanese YouTubers will be allowed go hands on with the PS5 on October 4th. Will we have to wait until then to see the UI, I wonder?

    One day one of the game release?

    I thought the net gen patch/version wasn't going to be until 2021?

    There will be two updates. On day one, there will be a patch for the PS4 version for the PS5. This will still technically be the PS4 version but running at higher settings than the Pro version.

    Next year the game is getting a full PS5 release that will add more features and enhancements. At this point, owners of the PS4 version get a full upgrade to the PS5 version.

    8 weeks folks!

    Got myself the disc console and a headset on preorder, and planning to order Miles M and Demon Souls too. Oh, and AC Valhalla and Cyberpunk to play whatever super up ps4 version/update is available. That's a damn good 4 game launch lineup in my book (even if ps4 versions also available for 3 of em).

    Feck it, new consoles only come along once every 7 or so years, I say jump on board the hype train and enjoy!

    Can't imagine many others knew. They were all taken by people either on this forum or friends of people on the forum. I pre-ordered one and clued in 3 friends.

    I wasn't even planning on buying one at all at launch but just happened to Google search the PS5 after the launch video and Smyths popped up and saw the preorder window open so I said I'd order once for collect. Had no idea how hard they would be to get 2 hours later. But I'm glad I have one secured now as I just wasn't happy with the Xbox, especially after the Call of Duty Alpha was exclusive to the PlayStation and I had to sit on the sidelines, so that won't be happening anymore. Was looking for an opportunity to offload the Xbox and this is the best time.

    Scalpers are gutter trash and are exploiting people's desperation and it's just pure greed. I secured two preorders for the PS5 on Smyths and could have profited from the second one but that's just wrong. I cancelled the second one as I no longer needed it to give someone else the same chance I got to play it on release day, saving someone from going broke before Christmas to secure one.

    What I do with scalpers on Ebay is win their auction with fake accounts but don't pay, that causes them to have to pay Ebay a listing fee, the have to pay again to realist it so they keep losing money to fake bids. That's what most of those bids are, fake bids to take money from the scalpers and into the hands of eBay

    I didn't think the drop would be that drastic! Was hoping for at least 200. Feck that, will try sell on Facebook marketplace so.

    That's nuts! The Xbox One S is still 150. I was going to wait until the Call of Duty Beta came out but might be wise to offload now before these consoles are worth nothing. Didn't expect a price drop until the end of October.

    To be honest after Microsoft buying Bethesda studios I am really excited there. Didn't give the xbox one x the just deserves when I had it as I played the ps4 75% of the time but on the pass generations I would of been more xbox. Only console I never bought was the ps3. Here once both consoles do awesome games that's the main thing. Love both of them so wouldn't bash either one at the end of the day. Ha just roll out the ps5 slim down the line this ps5 is going to be a beast.

    Totally agree. My worry though is that in terms of graphics, power etc, neither can really beat the other by all that much to make a difference, so Sony's tactic seems to be buying exclusivity in terms of extra content or timed releases, while MS could just be outright buying up big studios. Each is essentially trying to take something from the other. I think so long as neither go overboard, its all good. If MS were to start buying more big studios though, I'd find that pretty sh*tty to be honest.

    If the games I want to play all go to Xbox, thats where I'll go too. But friendly competition is better for the consumer, and choice is vitally important. If MS use their war chest to take more big mutliplatform franchises/studios, I see that as bad for the consumer. Most players will end up having to go to xbox rather than wanting to.

    Is there anywhere to order Demon's Souls for not €80, as much as I want it, paying that amount is borderline extortionate.

    Its steep to be sure, but as a long time Souls player I'd pay €100 :D - especially with Bluepoint developing it. Pre-ordered my disc version from Symths at earliest availablity.

    Of course go where the games are for sure just think Microsoft will have a lot this time round now. Just imagine what they would of had if they had of bought this studio 2 years before the new console was out

    i love sony but they're making some really bad moves over the last week or two .

    Expected this as the deluxe edition of the new one comes with the PS4 version, would take away a lot of that bonus if they gave it free for everyone on last gen

    €80 is a lot but I remember paying €70 for new releases nearly 20 years ago, inflation calculator says that would now be worth €89.01

    I remember purchasing a new game when I just got a PS2 in 2002. I was so excited picking which game to buy and it turned out to be an easy choice when I spotted Spyro: Enter the Dragofly for sale, I loved Spyro on the PS1. It cost €70, which was a lot of money for a young fella but even that couldn't dissuade me. I believe I even choose it over MGS2 and FFX.

    I knew within the first half hour that I had made a big mistake. What a pile of sh!t that game was, Gamespot gave it 2.8.

    I've a feeling that people paying €80 for Demon's Soul's will not be as disappointed as I was back then.
