I’m pretty sure that was for the digital version. I 100% remember coming home with Call of Duty Ghosts and Fifa on disc when I picked my PS4 up from Game.

Nope. It’s a free upgrade using EA dual entertainment.
Does anyone know the situation with external storage? Seems in the PS5 you can use any PCIe4.0 NVME drive that matches the spec, so I presume there’s going to be a place to slot it internally, similar to a PC. Must admit, that’s a slightly messy solution compared to Xbox although I appreciate when said drives reduce in price over time, it should be cheaper to add storage to a PS.
It will cost more than Xbox storage at launch. You need to use one that’s validated by Sony. They said they will give a list post launch.
Ahh ok that seems easier. Is it similar with Call of Duty then?
You have to buy the cross gen game if you buying digitally which costs £5 more than standard.
As COD is coming out near to launch of both consoles they have separate discs for the next gen version. Which cost more than the PS4 or XB1 versions. So there’s no free upgrade. You just need to buy the PS5 version.

Ok, yeah I’m going to just hang on rather than buying it on PS4. Seems weird that Cyberpunk is releasing the day before the PS5 drops.
This is going to sound mental but one thing that puts me off buying PS4 games on disc that comes with PS5 upgrades, is that it will drive my OCD mad if I’m inserting a PS4 disc to play a PS5 version of a game.
Oh I agree! It’ll be the same with the boxes themselves too - I normally like to have very uniform boxes and the blue topped PS4 ones will drive me mad next to the white PS5 ones.
Haha same here. Ideally would move my PS4 games out the way when the PS5 arrives. Not going to work though with all the upgrades.
I feel that way too! To the stage where I’d pay more just to get the ps5 box
I'm being jokingly gatekeeping (I only Tetris on the crt). Getting an expensive new TV will give you benefits but I highly doubt that it'll be a prerequisite to getting the most out of the ps5 experience. If you can't afford a new TV or already have a good TV, a shiny new one is a complete non-essential.
I'm grumpy that presentation gimmicks are pushed at the expense of the core experience.

Just went on Game, just on the off chance and managed to pre order. 
Will have one happy son on Christmas Day.

Congrats! Yea I feel bad for the non-gamer parents who think they are going to stroll into Currys on the 11th of December and get their kid a Ps5 for Christmas
Have to admit , I was going to do that If I could not get a pre order, just have to earn the money now

There might be a huge restock before Christmas, but I remember the Switch being very rare for months. Then again I randomly got my Switch by walking into Argos and asking on a whim, the CEX next door was selling a second hand one for more money than my new one.
I wonder if PS5s are hard to come by because Japan is launching at the same time as the rest of the world and stock is spread more thinly. I think the PS4 launched in Japan quite a long time after the west
That's a good point, that and COVID 19 I suspect, I would think COVID has messed up production, big time.
I just hope they can fulfil all the pre-orders.
Man, I still vividly remember the day my dad bought us both the first PlayStation. We set it up in the conservatory to play without bothering my mum. Loved to just sit and watch him play because he was better than me at the time.Just went on Game, just on the off chance and managed to pre order.

Would’ve been an unreal feeling getting one for Christmas. Even just getting a few new games for Xmas felt great.
We rented a PS1 for the weekend from the video rental store with Spyro, Crash and Small Soldiers. We kept renting it with those exact games over and over again until it got the point where even my dad (who was always a bit tight when it comes to buying video games) realised it was going to be cheaper to just buy ones us one. Fantastic Christmas!
How weird does the idea of renting a console seem in 2020!
A few years later i got a PS2 for my birthday. The bastards put it in the box from a Tesco's Iron
opening that box was a hell of a suprise for 13 year old (ish) Tiber! I still vivedly remember the fake box trickI used to love the PS1 demo discs that came with magazines. We had loads of them and I remember playing the same levels over and over again dozens of times - Spyro usually had a full homeworld!

I’ve never heard of renting a console. Did used to rent a lot of games on ps2 from Blockbuster though. Could get through one in one or two rentals usually, which turned out way cheaper. Although we had got the ps1 ‘chipped’, which meant insanely cheap games on that. No idea what chipping it actually entailed.
I used to love those PS1 demo discs. I remember playing Spyro, MediEvil and one of those space racing game (can't remember the name) from those demo discs again and again.

yep, that's it!
What a fecking goal.
come on lads

Go on Sony!
Feck sorry lads wrong thread
Bruunoo
I dont know if I want to go Sony this time round, the exclusive IPs I cared about are kind of done and have run their course.
I am also past the days of having multiple consoles, so I might be jumping ship this time round.

Any word on when we can expect a black version? The white would be a real eye sore in my set up so I’m holding off.
That's a good point. Is it confirmed?
Nothing official from the quick google I did but some on here are more clued up.
I thought I heard somewhere that the panels would be customisable but maybe I’ve made that up?
I’m sure skins will be available soon that can match one’s needs. That would be a better bet than counting the years until they release one that doesn’t look like it was designed by a teenage art student.
Bit of a curveball that it's white at all really..
There will be a 'limited edition stealth edition' in a year or so for late adopters/the weirdos on resetera who buy every colour/special edition on the market.
But nothing officially confirmed at the moment for the launch window. They might even be saving black for the PS5 Pro or w.e it is called.
Personally I think the white looks dreadful, but I don't have the patience to wait.
You could always buy a set of stickers from dbrand, but I have never been convinced by those.
Oh right, yeah no doubt I'll end up getting the white one on launch anyway.
