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.

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.

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.

**** 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.

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.

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.

wonder if you would receive on launch day from uk

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

One day, we will hopefully get a chance to stand before a statue of Wing126 and remember his awesome post.

I had just gotten a text of Smyths at this time also, of course I was selfish pre ordered right away but was then just about to jump in and post when I saw Wing had already done so. Actually cant believe how lucky we got, especially when you see all the big youtubers & streamers who are struggling for pre orders. Ahh just cantbelieve its still another 8 weeks away.

What will everyone be playinglaunch day?? Presume Cyberpunk? I have never played Days Gone, The Last Guardian or God of War so will be downloading these on PS Plus Day one also.

****e I should have tried them earlier. It is weird that amazon don't have it up yet. I suppose there will come a point when I realise it will be easier and cheaper to just pay the full amount in Smyths and pick it up at the same time as the rest of my stuff. I am pretty adamant that it is the first game I want to play on the PS5. I am also getting Cyberpunk that day but lets be honest, that is just gonna be a fancy PS4 version.

Argh, I was gonna say Game Collection as they were selling it for 65 pounds (71 euro) but all sold out.

Argos UK will be selling it for 70 pounds (76 euro) so will be similar over here.

I'll be keeping an eye on lowest price as well.

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

Try the likes of Argos on release date. They generally seem decently priced.

Suppose that isn't a bad idea, even €75 would be more palatable

Hi guys following this thread since night of the showcase, feel like I need to thank ye because like alot of people I assumed preorders werent going live till the next morning I had checked a few times after the showcase was over and and when there was nothing said id wait till the morning...

Pre-orders open on Smyths now.

I'd have been snookered too if I hadn't been still on here after the showcase, managed to get a disc version for delivery from Smyths. Hopefully more pre-orders get released and others get sorted soon.

I was set on getting the remote and headset too, but the headset almost seems like too good a deal, so I'm wondering about the quality. Might hold off on reviews for that. Definitely gonna get Miles Morales but still undecided on getting the ultimate edition with remastered Spiderman. Again I might wait to see what the improvements are actually like, it would put a bad taste in my mouth to buy that again if it's not much different and I already have the PS4 version. I wonder if it'll get released separately after launch.

It was only by having a nose on here around midnight I realised Smyths had gone live and managed to get a PS5 Disc for instore collection on launch day!

I also went a bit mad and PO an extra controller, charging station and headset ðŸ˜‚

Gameswise Ive ordered Black Ops Cold War, thought that looked really good and will get the spiderman game aswell but cant decide on the regular or ultimate edition, ive already have the platinum trophy for PS4, not sure if id want to play through the whole game again

Ill need to sell my pro aswell I upgraded the hard drive to 2tb so might go down the adverts route instead of CEX, in no rush to sell awhile as I still have a few games to finish.

Had a look on adverts before selling to CEX and it doesnt look like anyone is biting on a ps4 pro, most people after a pro would probably wait for a PS5 anyways, might be more uptake on the OG PS4

Cex it is then. I have a good few games to sell on too so should get me over the €200 mark.

I really do wonder how they make money at all with the prices they charge. When I was in the other day I noticed they sell PS4 controllers for €75 and north of it, while you can get one brand new on Amazon for under €50, and the prices in a Gamestop or Argos fall in the middle. Hoping to take advantage of those opting for the voucher instead of cash when trading in, I suppose.

Because a few weeks/months ago you couldn't get a controller new anywhere, they were all sold out everywhere except for used in cex which only had a few controllers left, so they raised the prices and we're giving close to 50 or them but obviously had to sell higher to make the same profit margins.

They can do pric changes daily if needs be, if the price hasn't dropped in a while it means they're still selling well at that price point. It's nuts but desperate people will pay desperate prices

I suppose it depends on what price they are selling them at, €340 is pretty scandalous considering what they are paying.

Yep I missed out too but due to laziness as the closest one to me now is an hour or more some days

If it's any use their voucher prices are still ~180 for a slim so could be worth it and then wait a while for when they have a few ps5 games in stock! CeXs prices were inflated anyway due to covid so I'm not holding out on the PS4 ever rising to those levels again

At the end of the day the PS4 probably has more future use potential for people than the €124 offered.

The PS4 is going to be a perfectly good minecraft/fortnite/FIFA machine for a good long while. it is worth more than that certainly.

Feck it anyway, I was hoping to trade in my OG 500gb PS4 to CEX at some point before launch, but not for another month or so, and that's down to €124 now. Wouldn't be surprised at this rate if it's below 100 by PS5 launch, almost wouldn't be worth it at that stage and might just put it in another room like someone else said.
