    Hi all, any ideas if there will be more consoles available for pre order? I was hoping to get one for Christmas. Thanks.

    There is a pre-order thread, keep an eye on that

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=114860964&posted=1#post114860964

    Apparently Simply games have sent out an email about another round of pre-orders so keep an eye on them as well

    My local gamestop still no idea if my preorders for Ps5 and XbSX will get me them on release day. I pre-preordered both about 2 weeks before actual preorders. I am guessing little hope for Ps5 but I thought the xbox was safe until now

    Would you have a better chance of getting a ps5 for Christmas if you opted for the digital version,?

    Those are even harder to get. The disc version seems to be easier to get.

    You also get a couple of 'free' games each month to keep as long as you keep your subscription.

    Worth adding too that PS Plus when the PS5 launches will have the PS Plus Collection which will have the following games available;

    God of War
    Bloodborne
    Monster Hunter World
    Final Fantasy XV
    Fallout 4
    Mortal Kombat X
    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
    Ratchet and Clank
    Days Gone
    Until Dawn
    Detroit: Become Human
    Battlefield 1
    Infamous Second Son
    Batman: Arkham Knight
    The Last Guardian
    The Last of Us Remastered
    Persona 5
    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

    So depending on what you've played, what you're getting etc., it may be a nice addition of a game library of some pretty great games.

    That's a pretty solid list to be fair. I have most of them already but if I was moving from xbox to the PS5 it would be a nice little sweetener.

    Looking back through the thread but I can't see it.

    Was it mentioned that PS4 games could still be installed on an external HD? Hopefully yes, it would help save valuable SSD space until we see the upgrade modules being released.

    So would it be cheaper to buy he PS4 version of these games and get the PS5 upgrade download?

    Is that how it will work, download an update does anyone know?

    It varies, but the most common method is that you put the PS4 disc into the PS5, and the PS5 downloads the PS5 digital version. You then play the digital PS5 version but must have the PS4 disc in the machine. If you buy a digital PS4 game, you can then just download the digital PS5 game without any hassle.

    And yes, it would be cheaper to just buy the PS4 version, this is what I am planning on doing.

    Miles Morales is technically a budget-priced title, with Sony increasing their prices, their budget titles are €59.99 where they might have been €39.99 before. Ubisoft have said they are not increasing their prices for next gen, so their full-priced games are staying at €59.99 across both platforms.

    Gwent is super straightforward easy on anything other than the final quest, but it’s a delight to play. It’s completely unbalanced but that’s the joy - it really makes you feel you’re progressing through the ranks gradually, even if your deck is just growing more overpowered :pac: Just try one or two of the early game quests and you’ll be flying quickly - and you’ll be swiftly consumed for a half dozen hours.

    In contrast the actual standalone game feels a bit too competitive and carefully balanced - no surprise they had to change the very basics to get it to work in that way. Makes for a better game for the committed maybe, but there’s a simple, accessible purity to the Witcher 3 version that I didn’t get at all from some brief dabbling with the standalone.

    Interesting, I never played Gwent in Witcher 3 (well I did one game and didn't get it), but then I played Thronebreaker and got really into it. After that I tried the standalone game but couldn't get into it at all, I think it's like you said, the standalone game is so finely balanced, it just never felt as fun as building up my OP deck in Thronebreaker.

    Can anyone recommend some good - reasonable priced - library of PS4 games to have in stock for PS5 launch in November I could pickup in cex? (or buy used privately?)

    I had an XBox last gen - so can have some catching up on Playstation titles - I'm into the campaign Skyrim / Fallout type games.

    Ill be getting max one or two ps5 games at the quite high 70 euros each - but looking for some good filler titles till the ps5 games come down in price a bit or available used...

    Be cheaper nearly to get PS+ and download something from the collection. You can get a subscription cheaper if you shop around a few places like CDKeys or Eneba.

    The PS Plus Collection, for PS5, has a bunch of really good PS4 titles in it. You just need to sub to PS Plus.

    Batman: Arkham Knight
    Battlefield 1
    Bloodborne
    Days Gone
    Detroit: Become Human
    Fallout 4
    Final Fantasy XV
    God of War

    The Last Guardian
    The Last of Us Remastered
    Monster Hunter: World
    Mortal Kombat X
    Persona 5
    Ratchet & Clank
    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    Thanks for the list - Myself, I like the idea of owning disks that don't expire - we like to revisit old games and consoles, I will be looking out for the above especially.. cheers.

    It’s currently on sale in the psn store for €8.99. An absolute steal at that price and even more so considering the free upgrade to ps5.

    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.

    The free PS5 upgrade applies to both the base version and the Game of the Year Edition.

    They probably deleted it because the US Xbox account has been tweeting out some 'end the console wars' nonsense.

    Also by my count that is about the 14th time the Xbox brand has gotten back at Sony for the sharing video. They should really stop trying, they are never going to top it.

    Most people sold them to CEX before the price dropped. Tbh unless you are including a load of extras, you are not gonna get anywhere near 240 for it. If someone offers you 200 you should bite their hand off.

    GS are offering 200 trade credit for a pro, though I know they’re in a lot of hot water for the pre-order mess.

    I think you can bump that up to about 250 if you get their loyalty card and use the trade-credit against pre-orders (games/consoles)...

    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.

    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.

    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 :D

    PS5-Miles-Morales-edition.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&h=719&dpr=1.5

    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.

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