PS5 thread 2.0

Just get the Essential package for the time being and get the PS Plus collecting before it leaves at the beginning of May to get the likes of Uncharted 4, Last of Us, Until Dawn, the Last Guardian and Days Gone. You can upgrade to Extra later when it's on sale.

I have an odd problem with my Philips tv and my PS5. The tv keeps randomly turning itself off when the PlayStation is on and the HDMI source is set to the PlayStation. It only happens when the PlayStation is turned on, normal tv usage is never interrupted. Afaik there’s I have no power saving or sleep settings on either the PS5 or the TV. Anyone have any ideas on what I might be missing?

Even switch the cable between your TV input and your PS5 input into the TV and see if the problem swaps over

If you buy a PS5 God of War edition, secondhand would you still be able to play God of War when I sign into my account?

The seller has already downloaded it.

Enjoyed Burning Shores way more than expected yesterday.

Could have charged 30e for it instead of 20e.

Every part of the game is so high quality. Looks even better than FW without the PS4 version. Lava looks incredible.

Just wish it had a better story/characters.

Was kinda ready for Forbidden West to be over when playing it at the time.

PlayStation is acquiring Firewalk Studios

I was about to say, what have they published. But seeing as they're new, PS are putting a lot of trust in them. No idea if those industry names garner that kind of trust, that's an area of gaming I'm not into. Bungie, for all it's Halo success, is not a publisher that I care about. Outside of Halo and Destiny, I've only played 1 other game by them, Oni, and that was amazing iirc with rose tinted glasses. The rest I've never heard of.

After them constantly using CoD as a reason not to approve the deal, I could only imagine what would happen if anyone tried buying Take Two with their ownership of Rockstar. Would mean GTA V to would be exclusive to one console next gen.

The main negative was the titles themselves for Sony which they argued about that as that's what concerned them and it's what MS tried to keep the debate confined too, but as you say it's all about the cloud market share.

Ofcom have also proposed for a new investigation in to MS and Amazon of their existing cloud business, it's all about the cloud and they don't care too much about COD other than it strengthening MS streaming offering along with the rest of Actibliz.

i got an 980 pro before Christmas and works well - seems to be an offer on it with amazon

i had been holding out for the sabrient one, with the fancy external heat sink ‘door’, but never seemed to drop enough. As luck would have it , it too seems to be on offer now:

unsure as to price trends these days, ie if those deals are actually any use, but I think paid just under £100 before Xmas for mine

whatever way you go, just check the specs of it (make sure it’s fast enough), and that it comes with an integrated heatsink

You can get the Sabrent heat sink separately if you end up with a drive without a heat sink. I use one with my 2tb WD SN850.

As for the best to get, I'd grab whatever is on offer on Amazon with a heatsink from Samsung(980/990 pro), Western Digital(SN850/SN850x) or Seagate(Firecuda 530). You can usually find at least 1 of these for ~€100 there for the 1TB version.

About the only real thing is to avoid the 512gb drives as they often have slower read/write speeds than the higher capacity drives.

Confirmed.

I didn't really use GameStop much in the last few years but sad to see them go.

The all digital march continues apace. Am I right in saying Smyths are now the only real bricks and mortar store for gaming?

They seem to have deleted that tweet and posted this one!

Wonder were they getting hate? 🤔

I got my PS4 slim and PS5 on their online shop and my PS4 Pro in their shop near me which is in a shopping centre.

It's going to be weird passing that shop when it's closed, knowing the good memories I had there.
