I think 240 is being real for if maybe 220 if the person isn’t a tire kicker

Have my ps5 ordered from Amazon so GameStop is no go for me,

So fingers crossed someone who isn’t a tire kicker will show up

However I bought borderlands 3 for 10 pounds just now for the free upgrade to ps5 version ....

The removable side panels feature is very exciting. You could basically change the entire look of the console. I'm sure a lot of really creative folks will be designing panels soon enough.

I'm picturing something like a custom black & red spiderman side panel with built in LEDs, illuminating the spiderman logo and powered by one of the USB ports on the back.

Can you send the link for that borderland deal, just looked and couldn't spot it

Well, seems Gamestop found a way to keep themselves in Business - https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1314271230955073538

Yeah

I'll be happy enough when 3rd parties on the likes of Aliexpress get on board with them, I won't be spending big bucks on an OEM. My PS3 and PS4 which will still be on the unit next to the PS5 are black so frankly a simple black panel for me.

People will go mad with making these, maybe even ones with LEDs in them connected to the USB port.

I wouldn't mind a yellow and black PS5 to remind of the Jordan F1 team when they had Benson & Hedges sponsoring them.

Just googled it and christ it looks amazing if this is the one you're talking about. Just make it with built-in LEDs via USB that can be plugged in at that back and I'd buy it

If Sony see a big market for side panels a potential revision they could make to the console in a few years is letting us choose in the settings what colour the LED built into the console is. I think it's blue on startup, but letting us choose a colour to match whatever side panel we are using would be a nice little feature. In the Miles Morales console above they look to be red for example.

All 100m+ PS4 consoles sold are hidden under TVs. It's the law.

Had mine mounted behind the TV on the wall. Stealthy!

No chance if that with the ps5. Unless I take off the panels and create a new mount.... Hmmmm

Apparently there are already third party wall mounts ready for release although no image yet.

Wonder how you’d get that to work in Europe.. would wonder is that kind of data sharing allowed?

Must of got one of a kind amazon price on it,

Not unless you opt in for Europe. But in the US, they are only really starting to look into data privacy, California is leading the charge but most states are wild west about it.

Here you could sue easily enough if Microsoft don't have proof of allowing them to send data to third parties

Western digital releasing prices for nvme SSD compatible with ps5 ranging from 500 GB to 2 tb pries from 160 for 500gb to 449 for 2tb,between the price increases for games,the rumor that ps5 only has 664gb of usable storage and these insane prices for extra storage console gamers are gonna get milked this generation

EoinMcLovin · 08-10-2020 10:17PM

Those drives price will hopefully come down in time.

Will be using a regular external USB as a pack mule and move stuff around until prices go down.

the price's as a baseline for future discounts will still make it very hard to stomach any further discounted prices would still be hard to stomach as it would still be too expensive imo the fact that you can get 1tb for sub 100 on sale for pc
makes these prices pretty outrageous

Here's a video of a Swedish lad who made a full scale replica of the console.

I never thought about fitting it horizontally in the shelf of my tv unit. I wonder with the new coolant tech would that be a possibility or should it still be out in the open?

davidom2513 · 09-10-2020 01:15AM

GameStop have this trade in offer for preorders:
"Preorder today and get 50% off new games when you trade in 1 game from a list"

Anyone know if this applies to PS5 preorders?

Or just PS4?

Xbox uk tweeted "how to swap your console from vertical to horizontal" and just 2 pics, one standing and one on its side, as in no stand needed. They deleted it which is a pity cuz that's just funny banter like when Sony made a video how to swap games with your friends.

PCIE Gen 4 NVME SSDs are expensive for PC still.

I got a 500GB Corsair MP600 for £100 a few weeks ago. It has read speeds of up to 4950MB/s and write speeds of 2500MB/s. As far as I'm aware the PS5 SSD is faster than that?

What you're looking at for sub £100 are Gen 3 NVME SSDs. I've a WD Blue NVME that cost £95 for 1TB but it's can only read at up to 2500MB/s and write at 1950MB/s.

Yes and no.
You can trade in from the list against buying a ps5 game. But the credit you receive is 35euro, so it doesn't quite equate to being half price if your pre ordering one of the ps5 games at 80 euro, eg Demon Souls will cost you 45euro with one game traded in from the list, but Miles Morales will only cost 25euro

Fair point no didn't take into account the speed of the drive,still think the prices are still too high especially when the ps5 is gimped already
