Only reason I can think of they haven't shown the inside is some unique cooling solution or something to do with the SSD, but I won't hold my breath. The lack of info on boost mode and backwards compatibility lead me to believe there is still a lot of work to be done in these areas.

Maybe as I have it on a Vertical stand or maybe it's because I'm thick :P

Honestly shocked they've survived this long to be honest, swore to never go back after a staff called me an idiot for not buying game protection a few years ago on a new game, any company that makes staff so desperate to sell extras that they resort to name-calling isn't a company I want to support.
EoinMcLovin wrote: » Like the main thing putting some people off digital is that once you buy a game, if you don't like it you can't just trade it back in. Also having digital games the same price as physical even when there is no packaging is another thing. In an ideal world digital games would be cheaper than physical at launch but that will never happen as retailers have too much pull

I know software would be last but they must have millions of units already made. Sony are being very quiet this gen and Microsoft are releasing everything...interesting tactic lets see how it plays out :-)
EoinMcLovin wrote: » Yeah it was hotukdeals that got me onto the Turkey and Indonesia stores mainly a user named JoeyDeacon who usually posts deals for these regions.. I also find PSN4.com a good site for comparing game prices among US, Turkey and Indonesia. One thing to note when buying from other regions is that multiplayer Games are messy when it comes to dlc as usually tied to the purchasing account. Found this out the hard way buying the gold edition for The Crew 2 off the Canada store and not getting any of the season pass benefits as tied to Canada account. Single player games are grand though. Hopefully they don't get rid of this with PS5 or at least make it like Xbox where an account can use any region

He tried ringing and they were vague about it and continued to say come in and talk to the staff about it. Hes going in today to find out the story with it, he pre-ordered a few months ago when they were taking interest.

EoinMcLovin wrote: » Can't you just use your Irish account? Even though console is from Dubai there is no reason you can't use your Irish account on it. In relation to regions, dlc has to be bought from the same region as the game, single player games are usually OK as the DLC is downloadable. For multiplayer games dlc is tied to the purchasing account. Good examples would be the ps plus Addons for Fortnite or Modern Warfare where you don't actually download the content, it becomes tied to the account that has ps plus and purchased it.

The guy told me that head office are trying to work out how best to communicate with customers who have pre ordered to let them know where they stand. He reckons that everyone should get a call from the store where they pre ordered next week to let them know, sounded very unsure and vague. He did say that those who ordered in store would take precedence over online orders. What the hell would they have taken online orders at all in that case as they are already way over sold?!
