PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

Some colours with the side panels will just look awful with the blue light. Hopefully this can be turned off.

I wonder if they could have cheaply installed changeable coloured lights on it. I mean, the PS4 has an orange, white and red bulb....

Also, hope we get decals or something for the controllers, I’d go for some matte black panels but the blue light on the console and white controller would ruin the aesthetic...

Varik · 23-10-2020 12:05PM

Those 3rd party panels are also not going to have the textured surface.

I'm fully fine with the white, and only reason I'd bother is if someone made something better like if they sealed off the edges and made the sides perforated with a dust filter or just having any kind of setup for a dust filter.

They've got the dust collector points but a removable dust filter over each fan side would have been stupidly easy to do too, prevent dust getting into the system in the first place.

Looking at that Platestation, I see the Digital and disc versions the same price. And it keeps popping up with people buying them.
But they're unofficial so how do they have the measurements for them?

I think would be of more use for those who plan on having the it stand up. Be better if you could pick and choose in case you want 2 different colours. Or maybe that's just the Switch owner in me speaking.

Or just like I said if it's lying down you might just want the 1 plate.

I've seen plenty of these sites for other item types. They get overwhelmed, don't ship most orders, become unresponsive etc.

They don't even have a listed address on their site. You would have to be utterly brainless to order off this shower.

Maybe we will start to see previews soon? He works for cnet/giantbomb.

I can't find the tweet now, but digital foundry teased something as well

Zero-Cool · 23-10-2020 01:43PM

I ****ing hope so with less than a month away.

CastorTroy · 23-10-2020 01:47PM

3 weeks from yesterday for the US so would want to start talking about things next week.

weemcd · 23-10-2020 02:08PM

New 4K arrives next week, I can bask in that warm 4K glow until my PS5 arrives.

Went for a mid range 50 inch Samsung that's well reviewed, no fancy 120hz or HDMI 2.1 but it will surely still be an upgrade on my ~6 year old 42 inch Bush 1080p TV, which I must say has served me incredibly well for approx £200 when I bought it. Will do nicely in my room for lounging in bed watching Prime and casting etc.

Can't wait.

Game Sharing, no faffing about with disks, no clutter. And now you have quick resume.

If me and a friend get Miles Morales at launch it'll be €35 each. We can both play it and own it. It'll be a long time before you can buy a physical copy for that price and even if you trade it in and get €40/50 for it against a new game you've only saved €15 compared to me and I still own the game.

Each pays €35 and each has a digital copy on your PS5? Or is one digital copy shared somehow between you both? All new to PS5 so trying to get my head around this.

Thanks,
M

Seeing a number of outlets now posting that they have a PS5. Hopefully a bit of hands on info will start to come through next week.

I share with my brother from separate households so we pay €40 each for a digital copy worth €80.We both get a digital copy of the game and can play at the same time. Also we can split PS plus so only need one active subscription.

The way it works is I set his console as my primary and he sets my console as his primary and then we just log in on our own accounts.Sounds a little complicated but is easy to set up and works flawlessly.I have not bought a disc in years and personally find digital far more convenient for switching between games.

Always wondered how this actually worked in practice.
Can ye both play the same game at the same time? Offline & Online?
Also, Can ye play against each other in say FIFA for example?

Yes we have bought Fifa and COD in the past and we can both play online together and offline at the same time.It works exactly as if we both had a disc version in each console.

Makes me wonder why nobody has come up with a PS4/PS5 Digital Buddy Up system were like minded people who generally like the same types of game pair up and agree to split the cost of digital purchase. A bit like the Spotify or Headspace family sharing etc.

I mean I have been doing it since the ps3.You could actually have 5 different accounts back then when sharing.When people started taking advantage of this they reduced the number to 2 accounts.I fully expect Ps5 to work on 2 accounts just like PS4.

Also just to add that if you share ps plus the secondary account will lose the ability to cloud save.

Also they will have to log in to the primary account to start the download for the free ps plus games.

It’s mad that stores aren’t changing all orders to delivery.

Imagine the queues outside Smyths/Curry’s etc would be like shooting fish in a barrel for gardai to hand out fines on the release days...

Dunno what Smyths are gonna do that day between everyone getting a console then all other orders for toys. Has the potential to be a mess.

Either way should be fun ha.

Good point, never thought about having to wait. I hope they send an email the day before to say it’s ready when the store opens in the morning
