They give you €250 credit if your level 3 €275 credit

I spotted this earlier on and got excited, thought €180 + my Pro and some games was a great offer.



But then I started reading this thread and realised it'd be unlikely I'd actually get the PS5 before xmas from GS .

This isn't bad deal, some of the games on the list you can get used obline for like 10 euro

Could work out quite well

Lads I played the first hour of Bloodborne and found it utterly tedious. Is Demon Souls more or less the same?

I have to be the voice from the other side, I was the same as you, completely boring and annoying, and I played a few more hours than you and it didn't change for me. Tried DS1 and 2 also, and more of the same so didn't get beyond a few hours (up to 6 on one of them) and it didn't make me want to play any more, so I personally think they're not great games at all.

Just to give you a non-praising opinion on it. But be careful, you can't really have a negative opinion of these games.

Which brings be full circle to the main reason for getting the disc version. Look at Sekiro, the lowest I have seen it on PSN is €45. At full price, it's a massive risk on a game you're unsure if you'll like. I got burned with Destiny by buying at full price digitally, and only ended up playing about 5 hours of it. Wasted money. Demon Souls remake looks good, visually at least, but if the gameplay is the same it would, to be, be wasted money. I'll probably pick it up, just to have a 'next gen' game to play on the 5, but wouldn't even consider if it I didn't have the option to trade it back in soon after.

Yeah I was surprised at the games list. I wonder if they'd give you store credit that you could use when the PS5 comes back in stock? I have PS Now so could subsist on my crappy PC for a few months .

Yes they would put it in your account.

Going to grab one or two the games cheap and trade in if they have my ps5 for release day

Plenty of these size comparison vids going around already, but in case you haven't seen one yet;

Is it meant to be any good ? I thought they were bringing back modern warfare

If you haven't played a CoD in a few years, it'll probably be good, but to me the Alpha felt like a reskin for the MW reboot last November. That's strictly from a multyplayer point of view, if you play for the campaign I've no idea what it'll be like.

I'm in two minds whether to get Demons Souls or not. I've never played a Souls game and the talk of how hard they are is putting me off! But the game looks incredible and I see loads of people singing it's praises, and it's the one truly big next gen exclusive game for PS5 at launch.

This is supposedly a primer for people who haven't played the original (I haven't watched the video yet, so don't know how useful it is).



Also @mods, can we start a new separate thread for those of us who haven't played the original before?

Precisely. The PS4 version will have some sort of boost when played on PS5 until the full next gen version is released, but what exactly that boost will be hasn’t been detailed yet

How would this work with the digital PS5? Is it available to buy on the PS5 at launch but it will be the PS4 version?

Ain't no mod but started a thread for it on the games forum.

How many games will the digital console be able to hold, my friends ps4 has two games and the hdd is full! Says he can't update cod due to no space.

The average game will average somewhere between 40–50GB. Unless it's Call of Duty coming in around 200GB. The good thing about the PS5 is it comes with 825GB SSD hard drive.

If your internet is shítty then this could become a PITA once you have a decent sized collection of game however.

I love where they're going with it. They fixed a lot of the silly things that Infinity Ward changed with Modern Warfare that turned it into a really slow camp fest, such as bringing back the mini map to end the low cautious play, brought back three-lane maps, got rid of all the camp friendly windows, increased time to kill so you don't get instantly killed, increased health, and got rid of the killstreak system the encouraged camping and kill whoring on objective games. I'm really hopeful this year. The Alpha wasn't great but it is an alpha, not even a beta, and shows the great potential it has. Self expect it to play better on the PS5 as the game as it was developed using the PS5 and wasn't properly optimised for the PS4 and many believe the was a big issue with the Alpha
