I've actually never had issues with a launch console when first released and I've had a few. Fingers crossed this will be the same!

My two main issues I had was obviously along with most people the red ring of death for the 360 and then the laser for the disks went on one of my PS3s.

Other then that nothing that caused to much heartbreak.

This is my first launch console I'm usually a late adopter but the only console issue I've ever had was the yellow? Light on ps3, always remember taking it apart once a week and going at it with a heat gun and putting it back together so it'd word for another day or two

Got myself really nervous looking at all the people with bricked consoles etc but then I saw a very good point that no one goes online to say their console has been working perfectly only if they have issues so you're more likely to see them.

I never knew launch consoles could be so stressful

Yea this happens every time a new gen kicks off, one person has a faulty console and posts it online, all of a sudden the internet is proclaiming it to be the next RROD

XB360 being the most famous Ide say. "Red Ring of Death"

Lets hope we never get one like that again

My plan is Demon's Souls from US PSN and deciding between Miles Morales Ultimate or NBA 2K21 from Smyths, leaning towards MM as I can trade that quick enough and still keep SM Remastered.

Argos have their games up now. €85 for demon's souls and MM Ultimate, very few copies of each in my local. Smyths are cheaper and have 14+ copies of each in my local. Argos are offering a blu ray film for 6 euro when you buy a ps5 game, **** off Argos.

Has it been confirmed yet if buying from other country psn stores works yet or did Sony put a halt to it?

They've also listed all of their accessories and either didn't get any stock of the charging stands/headsets or they were sniped up

Yeah I was looking at these aswell. There was nothing online at 1am then 7am this morning all gone so may have been zero stock

Wing126 · 12-11-2020 10:06AM

Didn't think a charging stand would be difficult to get haha

I've wanted it since ordering the PS5 from Smyths way back in September and only spotted it yesterday thanks to Paul on the other thread and nabbed one within minutes of them showing and selling out.

Stephen.Walsh_ · 12-11-2020 10:16AM

The remastered edition of Spider-Man is fully taking advantage of PS5’s features rather than just playing your ps4 copy?

SomeSayKos · 12-11-2020 10:16AM

My copy of Demons Souls is arriving today. I'm going to sit in silence and stare at the box for the next 7 days

billybonkers · 12-11-2020 10:18AM

Are there any demos available for PS5 games actually?

Oh damn, I shoulda been keeping an eye on that thread so!

Edit: Where the F are Argos going with their game prices?

Yup. Better loading, better graphics/performance, they changed Peter's face model for the remaster, better lighting with ray-tracing, all DLC included.

Same here ha!

When the PS5 reveal was on and I saw it, it was the game that decided it for me that I wanted a PS5 at launch. No reviews out yet but there are some early impressions starting trickle out.

I thought they were supposed to be cheaper in general

You KNOW something is up when you are making Gamestop's prices look reasonable.

Probably trying to make up for lost revenue on the consoles they aren't getting for Christmas..

Argos might have the odd bargain but generally they are a complete rip-off.

Argos is undergoing huge restructuring in the UK at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of closures here in Ireland in the next while.

WhenPigsCry · 12-11-2020 11:12AM

Not only are Argos charging more for games, but currently they have a deal where they'll throw in Venom on 4k BluRay for 6euro with select titles. They should be paying customers to take that movie off their hands.

They're offering Into The Spiderverse with MM Ps5 Ultimate. Meant to be one of the best UHD blu rays going.

90.99 ... pricey enough bundle.... It's also on netflix now in 4k

mdwexford · 12-11-2020 11:24AM

It’s so beautiful.....

nullObjects · 12-11-2020 11:24AM

I managed to update my PS5 order to be delivered to my home address a while back but I'm seeing now that others can't do the same
Do you think I should change it to be delivered via a forwarding service to be safe?

Berty · 12-11-2020 11:29AM

Turned on the PS4 last night and I had a PS5 button/app it, clicked on it and it was suggesting that I need my PS5 powered on to sync over or do something at least.

Is it the app that allows remote play?
(You can play the ps5 using the ps4 if it's on the same network)

I had that show up earlier in the week

jammer84 · 12-11-2020 11:30AM

Have been keeping an eye out for a charging station too, hoped I'd get one somewhere this morning for home delivery.

I can't go and check. I'm working from home and I would feel awful guilty being in the room with the TV and PS4. Bad enough I'm posting on here, let alone powering up the PS4 to check something.

I can say from personal experience this is 100% true, it looks and sounds incredible.

It is a night and day difference, they can slap a 4K label on something in Netflix but it won't improve the awful bitrate

It is the remote play app, it will be useless until you have a PS5 on the same network

Yeah apparently it's remote play between the PS5 and PS4. I'm not sure which way around it works though; can you play your PS4 remotely through PS5, or PS5 remotely through PS4? I don't see how it should be possible to play PS5 through your PS4 considering you can't even play your PS5 games on PS5 with a PS4 controller
