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.

Also, they say that the game downloads can be adaptive, as in if the game has single player, multiplayer online platform, etc, you can pick and choose which to download.

Pre-ordered with GameStop on the 17th of September. Nothing came off my PayPal and no email or history of it on my account. What is the chances of getting this before Christmas? No idea what happened.

Same for me. She just linked the order to another account as they were having trouble with the system. I rang during the week as there was no order showing up online. My pre order is there, it’s just under another account. Ring them with your detail to make sure.

Edit - sorry I just read you made a mistake - ignore the above.

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 .

Grand. I got €234 for my Pro in CEX on Friday. I still have a DS4 to sell as well.

Depends on what's installed.

PS5: Size of the launch games

Demon's Souls: 66gb
Spider-Man Miles Morales: 55gb
Spider-Man Moral Miles Ultimate Edition: 105GB

The SSD in the PS5 is 825GB and I'm not sure if the Operating System space
has been included in that figure.

Most people (incl Sony) are using mixed units when talking about game and SSD size. It makes the storage situation seem a little bit better than it actually is.

For example, when they say Miles Morales Ultimate is 105GB, they actually mean GiB. Gibibyte, not gigabyte.

The SSD size using these units is 768GiB. This is the total size, before any reserved space.

It is not only Sony who does it. Storage vendors (HDD/SSD) have always used GB when advertising their products. It's why a 1TB HDD immediately goes to 930GB when you stick it in your computer.

What did you sell with it?

J Mysterio · 27-09-2020 10:40AM

Have to say I'm not too excited with most of the PS5 launch titles. More Spiderman, more Demons Souls etc. Nothing too original for the launch?

I would have pre-ordered a PS5 anyway, but forgot to check at the right time for the extra Smyths units, so looks like I have to wait either way. AC Valhalla does look cool though - I would take that had I secured a unit.

One game that is pretty exciting is the Hogwarts game

but that doesn't have a release date as of yet... Equally would be excited to play R6 Siege on PS5.

Anyway, I guess I can look forward to Cyberpunk on PS4, and that should presumably keep me busy as things develop and settle a little for PS5. Presumably there will be bundles a little down the line.

It was probably voucher as they are currently giving that amount as a voucher for a pro

You will be a while waiting for compatible PS5 SSDs, you need to make sure they are ones whitelisted by Sony, and they aren't out until around December anyway and could cost half the price of the machine...

It's always the way at launch in the modern era. PS4 was no better. Games just take so long to make. Nobody wants to spend 4 years making a brilliant original game and then release it on a system with no install base yet.

It's why we're seeing remasters (cheap to make) and cross-gen titles. It'll be a few years before next-gen really gets going.

Yeah, I know, will just have to manage until then.

Will we be getting two ps5 games out the gate with ps plus? Wish sony would clarify some stuff

Sorry for not reading the thread. What's he chances of picking up a ps5 in December? Not to pushed about launch day
Thanks,

Nothing confirmed but highly doubt it. Ps plus monthly releases are nearly always at least a year old minimum, so doubt we see any untill well into next year. Might be the odd exception (eg. Indie type title like Fall Guys)

They seem to be sold out everywhere right now which is more likely just to generate more interest. I am sure they will release more to the shops to take advantage of the Xmas interest.

With how slow Sony are to announce anything, I'd say we won't find out until they announce November's games for PS4 something during last week of October. I could see them keeping the PS4 free games since they will be backwards compatible, I can't see them giving PS5 games straight away, maybe next year. They could add Games to the instant collection every month but wouldn't that be the same as giving free PS4 games?

There were two free games consistently from when the PS4 launched (Resogun - maybe still the best PS Plus game of them all! - was available on launch day, plus Contrast).

That said, their PS Plus collection may be a way to get around that for a while, even if they do intend to keep the two games a month model. To be fair, nothing they could offer would be superior to Bloodborne - especially if there’s any sort of backwards compatibility performance boost

If you don't do anything silly you should be ok to avoid screen burn on oled, u use one on my ps4 pro and no issue with screen burn and I play a lot of call of duty and no issue

Riesen_Meal · 27-09-2020 02:33PM

Is it just me but I'm actually dying to see the UI, I really hope they overhaul the PS4 one a lot...

But not make it too complicated like the Xbox One...

PS4 UI is atrocious. A crime against humanity

My main reason for looking at Samsung over LG with QLED instead of OLED is I use my screen on PC as well. I haven't found one OLED that says it's fully safe with this, unfortunately.

Yeah if using with a pc it might not be the best option, I watch movies as well so the lack of Dolby Vision on Samsung qled put me off them. Other then that they would be a good choice.

I think the best UI was the OG 360 blades, the PS3 was pish, the PS4 was much better (IMO) and I thought the Xbox One was so convoluted in comparison to the PS4, took about 6 clicks to get to where you needed...

consulatory · 27-09-2020 03:44PM

Pre-booked a PS5 digital edition in the last couple days but now having doubts about whether it's worth it.
I'm a casual gamer btw(0 interest in the Fifas etc.)
Biggest concern is the freakin' size of it, the potential noise factor & the lack of next gen games.

Asking myself if it's worth 400.

But it will be what, maybe 2/3 years before smaller version comes out.

Might just get it for the increased load time/increased FPS.

Playing Warzone on Slim on 4k v(even though its 1080 scaled up) isn't a great experience. Dropping frames galore.

Anything seemed like an improvement after that unremovable SingStar icon.

If you'd be fine with 1080p/1440p/upscaled to 4K at 60-120fps, then the Series S might be good for you. It's the cheapest next-gen experience and you can dip in and out with gamepass, so you don't need to commit to buying games if you want to focus on PS5 for exclusives down the line.

I used the ps3 again recently and it was absolutely horrible. The ps4 was okay but even with the pro, i was getting serious lag just moving around the menus. Hopefully the store sees a big improvement. They already improved the search but can still make it a lot better.

johnny_ultimate · 27-09-2020 04:45PM

TBH the SSD should make the user experience so much nicer even if the UI hasn’t been majorly overhauled. The difference in a PC boot up between a HDD and SSD is perhaps the best quality of life difference one can make for a machine. The PS4 boot up is still slow and clunky, so it should be much quicker and more responsive in the PS5.

Kremin · 27-09-2020 05:41PM

I loved the PS3 UI, it was always left or right then up or down depending on what you need. Found the ps4s buggy and laggy
