    Final Fantasy was PC as well. And the internet seems dead set on Demon Soul's following suit. I've not got on with PC gaming. I've never had a rig reliable enough. Even this one, the GPU likes to abandon ship when it feels like it. And I can't get the fan off this board to get at the CPU.

    Yeah FF and Demon's Souls were the two I'd seen where they did a U-turn.

    I think the only launch titles I'll be getting are the Miles Morales game and possibly the Sackboy one.

    So Argos took money from accounts that pre-ordered (was well known at the time) but they've had to cancel some and it will take 4-5 days for people to get their money back.

    Wouldnt it be just better fir Argos to hold the money as you would suspect they would be getting more stock?

    I guess. Although I'm not sure why they need money up front anyway.

    Amazon won't take money out of my account until it's about to be dispatched.

    826 clicks, 49 purchases. I posted it on Twitter too.

    That’s like a minimum of £170 commission, hopefully.

    For some reason loads of shops are pricing Arse Creed on the PS5 at £51.99 but the PS4 version at only £46.85 which also includes a free upgrade to the PS5 version (digital version and the PS4 disk acts like a key).

    The main retailers put up on Thursday there was another batch of stock going up on Friday. Haven't got the money to buy one outright so had to wait for a BNPL retailer. I saw Amazons' stock go up and disappear instantly. Argos' stayed around for an hour or two because it wasn't showing properly. Verys' came up around 11:30 or so while I was out was it was a blind panic to try and do it on my phone. Got one ordered but took them over an hour to confirm it. So I should be good for one on launch day.

    Downside is, I've had to take all of my current gen stuff down to CeX to sell. If it all clears, something near £300 is mine to put back on, but I'm console-less for near 2 months.

    Is there any point to have this by launch at all tthough? Arn't the first versions always a bit faulty anyway and then there are no games until maybe a year in?

    Well the sooner you get it the sooner you have the opportunity to embrace £70 being the new normal for console game prices. The excitement of that alone will be too much to resist, surely?

    Well... I always kind of though almost all games are vastly under-priced for the amount of entertainment they give you. And when you look at these AAA titles these days it just seems so much work goes into it. So long as the devs seem decent (like Witcher devs) I don't mind paying.

    There are games (or more specifically developers) where I'm happy to chuck them the money but the price of a product going up about 40% when there's not that much of a noticeable improvement in what you're getting is questionable, especially when the exact same product is cheaper on a different platform.

    It's also annoying when I imagine most developers are just going to pocket the extra profit rather than, say, use it to actually treat their staff better.

    So is this thing basically just as big as a stationary PC now?

    That kind of completely defeats the point of consoles doesn't it?

    Not really - consoles have always basically been this. Their schtick is that it's a standardised platform with known specs.

    Everyone with a PS5, has the same spec PS5 and doesn't have to bother making sure their GPU is good enough or if their Processor can handle it etc. It's just easier.

    Of course if you want top of the range everything, PC is the way to go(and it'll cost you such). But if these things can do 4k/60fps gaming as they suggest, for £450, that's a damn good package.

    Also the 'first wave of new consoles is bad' is a bit of myth, I got a first wave PS4 last time round and it never missed a beat until I upgraded it for a Pro.

    Any hardware build has a failure rate. That's usually higher in the early production runs as they're still optimising the process, but it's usually a sliver of a percent

    Alright then. My PS4 pro is kind of at the limit in size where it fits into my TV-bench furniture though so that is basically my main requirement here. Will the PS5 be the same size?

    Also does it only cost 450 quid? That seems cheap!!

    A fair bit more chunk on the PS5. A lot of that is the vapour chamber and the beefier fan now inside it.

    I got mine on release day and it's been good as gold the whole time, no issues and no fan noise either. The only bother was the grips on the controller wearing away but the replacement one I got seemed to have that remedied. Not bad for 7 year old kit, particularly when I had to replace or repair the PS2 and 3 once each.

    Phew.

    Seriously starting to think about getting this.

    Feels a little like a wast of my PS4 as I've only had it for about 1.5 years now and it's still serving me very very well but still, tempted as I find the price much better than I thought it would be.

    There's a little clip on attachment you need to lay it down, but I believe they include it.

    If you can/want to, sell your PS4 on now. You might get £100-200 depending on how much you have for it.

    What do you mean how much I have for it?

    It's a PS4 Pro with 2 controllers I guess. But I read somewhere that the controllers will work for the PS5 as well?

    Anyway - I'm not gonna rush into it. Likely I'll buy it sometime next year maybe once productions gone up a bit and all that. Always seems a little like you shouldn't buy these things right when they release.

    I still have a good 5-10 games left I wanna play through on the PS4 so, by the time God of War 2 and maybe Horizon Zero Dawn 2 pop up i'll probably get on it. Meanwhile Cyberpunk and Baldurs Gate should both be fine to play on PS4 I guess.

    I'm wondering a little about FFVII remake later episodes, but I'm kind of holding off on that until all 3 episodes are out anyway so.

    I meant extra controllers, games etc.

    You'd get about £145 for selling just your PS4 and controller through CeX. But if you're content with waiting then it's all good.

    I believe the PS4 controllers will work for the cross compatible games at the least.

    Surely it will be worth doing the console to console transfer rather than selling up before it arrives?

    I'd trade mine in if it wasn't for the fact I'll still be getting PS4 reviews for the foreseeable future.

    I wont be able to trade mine in.

    I had so many problems doing it with my original PS4 because a rubber foot was missing, I have the same problem with my Pro.

    Con them with some black tape. I need to consider which consoles to retire. PS2 is done, now. The PC emulation is good enough to get by. The 360 is close if I can get Gears and Gears 2 finished. The Gamecube is covered with emulation and the PS3 is a couple of games away from being useless-ish.

    If I wind up with just the PS4, PS5 and PC under my desk, I'll be a happy lad.

    The PS4 Pro has triangle, square, cross, circle rubber feet.

    White ones too as I've got a white PS4.

    Fair enough. I am weighing up whether to buy the physical copies I have again digitally when they are on sale and flogging them off with the PS4 Pro. If I can recoup 200 I will be happy, got 3 controllers, Witcher 3, Borderlands 3, RDR2, Overwatch and a few others I could chuck in with it.

    Pulled a lot of overtime this month but didn't realise Planet Coaster was a PS5 release game so think I will be pre-ordering that and Cyberpunk for launch day, more outlay on games than I expected, especially with FM21 looming.

    The hardware is what's in-demand right now. Everyone who was out of a job or furloughed had the same idea of catching up on their gaming. As such your controllers are worth £25 cash a pop in CeX and the PS4 Pro £120. The games wont actually add that much cash wise unfortunately. Maybe it'd be better to put them in as a store voucher and wait for another game you want. You'd be just a smidge over £200. You could get more for selling somewhere like Facebook, but it's if you trust that.

    You do also get the PS+ collection for PS5 announced for games too if that sways your decision. As a PS4 player you'll likely have played most on the list, but there's some gems on there.

    I'm pulling the trigger on this. Demon's Souls is the only thing at release I'm big on but I've got plenty of PS4 stuff to work with. One thing I want to know is if they've made any changes to stream overlays when you're streaming direct from the console. I don't tend to have a second screen going so have to bolt that iffy chat log to the side. It would be nice to see that better presented.
