Gaming PlayStation 5



Digital foundry review of Spider-Man...it looks brilliant. John is like a giddy school kid.


Looks absolutely stunning!! I haven't been able to watch the full thing with sound but skipping through.

I know there's been a lot of work to the original Spiderman which is included in the premium edition. Is it on par with MM?
 
Surely they will add 1440p if it's just a tick box? No changes needed to the console and guessing it can't be difficult to implement?

Obviously not many gamers are gonna play at that res but you could say the same for the majority of features and various TV settings they include.

Wouldn’t bet on it, the PS Pro was never 1440p compatible
 
Just found out I won't be receiving one on release day which is disappointing. Makes all that effort I went through to get one even worse, so frustrating :(.

Where did you order from?

I managed to squeeze an order out of GAME the other day but I’m not hopeful it’s coming on time (or even at all) any more.

That's a bummer. Did they give you a date? Even if its a week or two late your still in a decent position - though it must be very disappointing.

As far as I know my Argos order is still coming on launch day. I haven't heard a word from them since I ordered, but I reached out to their live chat and they said its still on course

No not really, they said there's another wave of stock on the 9th of December but also no guarantee that I'm in that position either I guess. I actually could live with not having it on launch if I knew it would be the 9th of December but I think it could easily be after Christmas now. Gonna have some serious fomo come the 19th.

I had two orders, one from Scan and another from box.co.uk neither of which I was confident about.

Ah shit, sorry to hear man.

Out of interest where did you order it from and when? I ask as I ordered mine in the second batch from Argos, on September 25th. Bit nervous that I might be in the same boat :(

Who was it you ordered from? The Box? I had never heard of that site previously, but it was supposed to be reliable

Did you cancel Scan?

Good news - your pre-order [deleted] for item [deleted] is on it's way. DPD UK will deliver as early as the official release date. To track your order, use ref. [Deleted] in the DPD UK website.

I thought it was Yodel delivering?

On the way :drool:
 
Didn't get a text, but poor Januzaj's experience made me give back into the Argos chat. They confirmed I am an track for launch day and CentreSoft are using DPD. Was worried shipping to Northern Ireland would end up delaying things by a day, but all seems fine.

Happy that it is DPD, some poor **** out there is going to have a launch day PS5 destroyed by Hermes.

No currently still have two preordered but might just cancel the scan one and they also said they were not gonna be able to do release day.

You should be okay, I'd trust Argos far more than Box.co.uk. I've never even heard of them but thought I'd got in fast so would be close to the front of the queue but clearly not.
 
Not heard anything from Argos since I ordered so may drop them a message tomorrow :nervous:

Why?

Console isn’t out in two weeks. That DPD tracking won’t work.

You just wasting some poor persons time asking the same question that 1000 other people have asked them.

Interesting. I’ve been in contact with them and they’ve said it’s all on time still. But had no text yet.
 
Fcuk me who is buying that PS5 merch? Probably the same guys who called people scum for selling their PS5

It's killing me that I don't have a pre-order

I paid Argos over £550. They can answer as many live chats as I feel like starting.
 
Ordered mine from curry’s to pick up from the store but being in wales it should hopefully be all okay.
 
Are we expecting Amazon to take the money the day before when its shipped, as i need to know when to transfer the cash into that account.

I’d imagine so as they only debit your account when your order has shipped.

You should get an e-mail confirming that it’s left the warehouse which I’d imagine will be the day before launch day
 
I've found someone who got a pre-order from GAME for in-store collection. Does anyone know if I can just take his receipt and rock up and buy it myself?
