The depressing thing I’ve heard and seen from lots of people I know who have to deal with customers is that if you’re a big enough c*nt you’ll get your way, and if you’re nice you generally won’t.

Yupp but i also took from it if you don't ask, you don't get. I get yearly discounts on my utility bills, insurances, etc because i ring them and straight out ask in a nice manner. I know to escalate things when I'm being ****ed over as well. Job was a nightmare but made me a ton of savings over the years

As for PlayStation 5, even though we are 2 weeks out, I'm excited for xbox release next week to see how how
New games play.

Mostly though, looking forward to a possible Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster announcement on Saturday.

Just on the the discussion regarding 60FPS and 120FPS. If for example you have a 4k tv that has a 50hz panel. Does that mean that the PS5 will actually run games at 50FPS or will it drop down to 30FPS?

Put simply, does the software only run at 30fps, 60fps or 120fps and nothing in between?

Apologies if this is a silly question but I just don't know.

Every 50Hz panel also supports 60Hz, it's just an outdated way of listing the refresh rate due to TV's broadcast frame rate in Europe.

A 50 Hz panel is actually 60 Hz in this part of the world, its just confusing jargon and it varies massively depending on region and manufacturer.

If a game runs with a framerate that sits inbetween these (most commonly 30 and 60 fps) it will manifest as a juddering effect as the game isn't drawing enough frames to keep up with the refresh of the display. A good example of this is Tomb Raider definitive edition on PS4, which ran at a near constant 40-45 fps.

Safe to say that is somewhat of an improvement on the original.

I received an email from Gamestop last week confirming I was part of the "launch allocation" for the PS5. I then received a text on Monday to say my local store would be in contact with me about the arrangements. They called me yesterday and I'm booked in to collect mine from the store at 9:30am on Thursday, 19th November. Not sure about other stores around the country, but thankfully my experience has been nothing but positive with Gamestop on this occasion.

My local store is shut, and the silence is a bit worrying in that regard. I got the email too, but being left in the dark with regards to how console pre orders will be fulfilled for those with shut stores is a bit crappy.

The back story is that Sony recently put up an API that developers can use to check the compatibility status of their games.

It reports games as COMPATIBLE, BOOTABLE, NOT_COMPATIBLE (and N/A). BOOTABLE means it plays but with errors or unexpected behaviour.

The Ubisoft titles (Syndicate, Star Trek Bridge Crew etc) are showing as BOOTABLE

Someone scraped the API and presented it here:

Read the xbox thread.

I'd say they'll update the PS5 pre-orders next Wednesday.

No units will be available in-store for purchase on launch day (November 12 or November 19, depending on your region) – please don’t plan on camping out or lining up at your local retailer on launch day in hopes of finding a PS5 console for purchase. Be safe, stay home, and place your order online.

Gamers who have pre-ordered for pick-up at their local retailer should still be able to do so at their designated appointment time, under the retailer’s safety protocols. Please confirm the details with your local retailer.

Playing Motorstorm on the PS3 at launch was the next gen moment for me, game looked incredible. A lot of fun as well.

Same!! The soundtrack was unreal too. The Dirt video just made me realise it would be perfect for the Dualsense too.

If all Devs jump onto the haptics bandwagon it could be huge for PS5. It's the one feature I've been excited about for months as for me it's the one truly next-gen thing about either console. The feedback from the different YouTubers testing the system over the past week has me even more excited to experience the haptics.

Microsoft's 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach to the Series X controller could backfire on them.

I remember working for Sony Laptops before and the policy was something like 4-6 dead pixels in a new laptop were 'acceptable'. Had people calling saying they have a dead pixel on their £2000+ new laptop and we're like "nothing we can do". If i bought a new laptop/telly and it had even 1 dead pixel, I'd be going ballistic until they gave me a new one as i also learned from that job, shout loud enough and you'll get what you want if any bit deserved.

I worked in Apple and they had the same policy. There was a tech sheet from all the manufacturers which gave the number, positions of dead pixels etc before it could be returned.

Destruction All Stars actually looks kinda fun. Good choice making it free on PS+ hopefully it gets a big community.

Zero-Cool · 05-11-2020 06:10PM

Sorry if answered already but why are games and accessories being released on the 12th while console still releases on the 19th for us?

Wing126 · 05-11-2020 06:15PM

I don't think an answer has actually been given by Sony.

I'd assume it's down to the fact that most of the games are on PS4 aswell as PS5. People who want to play them on PS4 can buy them on the 12th and upgrade if they get the PS5. PS5 versions are probably available because there's no reason not to sell them if the PS4 version is available.

The 19th really is just arbitrary. I'd say stores will start getting PS5 stock next week and we're just waiting for no solid reason.

johnny_ultimate · 05-11-2020 06:21PM

Yeah just a mix of corporate and logistical reasons - fewer potential hurdles in getting the games on shelves, probably. 19th is likely just a buffer to ensure no supply issues. I walked by Smyths today and saw shelves full of Xbox Series X / S, so it’s very likely some stores will have the consoles quite a bit in advance.
