Why should you? I can understand the argument if you’re buying games now because we’re so close to the release of next gen consoles, not sure why that a game which was released last year should entitle people to a free upgrade?
Even the greediest company in the world EA are offering a free upgrade with Fifa. So are Ubisoft with both their games coming out this year. If those companies can do it, so can Sony.
Hell, CD project Red are giving a free upgrade to Witcher 3 for people who bought it.
Fair.
Hi, can anyone advise me of a good TV to get the best out of the PS5. I am not looking at super expensive ones, just an idea what people are using?
What do you do if you want one of these consoles but you don't want to spend the money and you also know you won't get any time to play it?
You still buy it, it’s a long term investment
There will be more stock
I haven't got one either but something that has 4K/120fps and HDMI 2.1 support. The LG OLED range for example.
Just got a text from Argos thanking me for my order and that it will be delivered on release date.
Got the confirmation email instantly yesterday as well so I think it's looking good....

feck it I'm not thinking about football until the next match kicks off. Back to PS5 news
Went into GameStop and ordered mine. I’m queuing up on the day and camping outside.
Isnt it guaranteed if you preordered?
Yeah but the person working there saying they might not have a PS5 for every single pre order. That it’s not guaranteed. Might have to wait a little bit longer if it’s sold out, First come first serve.
Ooooh so we can convert physical PS4 games to digital PS5 ones? That’s be great if on day one I can stick my backlog in and then trade in/sell the discs
Oh If I had known you could convert physical PS4 discs I probably would have got a digital PS5
Really? How is that possible? I'm reading it as Ps4 disc get upgraded to ps5 graphics and digital games get carried over along with the upgrade.
Will the PS5 fit under your TV? We find out just how big the PlayStation 5 is

The bottom line says that developers have the ability to let players upgrade their disc or digital PS4 games to digital PS5 games.
to me that reads like you can turn a physical game like TLOU2 to a digital copy
Mmm that's kinda cool. Buy the ps4 cyberpunk and trade it straight back in when its transferred to digital
I think its more FIFA getting a free upgrade than anything else tbh. Thought the same but think its just badly worded.
One of the things I'm looking forward to the most being the impatient bastard I am is the load speeds.
The pre order thing has gone against me. Just over 2 weeks ago I realised gamestop (ireland) were actually taking pre-preorders of both consoles, so I put 50 off on both thinking I was way ahead of the game. Turns out they’d been taking these down payments since late 2019 so I’m actually way down on the list and after speaking with them today I have no guarantees or a ps5 before Xmas. Although Xbox is sorted which goes to show the popularity gap.
But anyway because I’d already technically preordered I didn’t try on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. I totally realise 1st world problems but bah humbug

You will probably need the PS4 disc in the PS5 to play the digital copy.
I finally did the math and my HMRC overpayment refund will cover the system, the dock and a headset, but not a spare controller. Would have been nice to get a spare controller as my DS4's are constantly running out of battery , but as the Dusalsense is USB C it will charge much faster it shouldn't be an issue.
If I could be sure that I could play my PS4 discs on a digital PS5 I def would have gone for a digital version and saved an extra £100!

This is what makes me doubt the report, they would never allow that.
I need to get my hands on a pre-order.
It means devs can upgrade enhancements so it runs better on Ps5. Graphical and performance upgrades, not converting your physical copies into digital editions.
That's not what it means
That’s not what it says though
It's worded badly, but you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you think you'll suddenly be able to trade in all your physical copies because you've been given a digital edition.
I’ve looked it up and the general consensus seems to be you’ll get the full digital download on the PS5 but you’ll still need to insert the disc as a pseudo key but it won’t read from the disc after that
Here's the fine print...
Upgrade may be offered at no additional cost or for a fee and may be available for a limited time. If players have a PS4™ game on Blu-ray™ Disc, they will need to insert the PS4 game disc to see the upgrade path, download the PS5 version and keep the PS4™ game disc inserted each time they play the PS5™ version of the game. To upgrade eligible PS4 disc titles to digital PS5 versions, players need a PS5™ console with a disc drive.
oh, thats different then. Glad to have the physical edition.
Yeah. You're not getting an digital edition of the game. You're getting a free upgrade for your old games (or certain old games). It'll be like downloading a day one patch. It'd absoultely ruin the industry if you could buy a physical edition, upgrade and then trade in while keeping a digital edition.
I don't think a lot of games will have this day one, or even for the first few months. I know the Cyberpunk upgrade is going to available until 2021. I'd imagine some first party Sony games will have the enhancements on the PS5 release though.
Is there any reliable estimate of how many pre orders have been made? Just curious but would be interesting to see how big demand was given how many struggled to get one this week.
Looks honking.
