Gaming PlayStation 5

My GAME order I somehow hacked through last week still hasn't gone through payment stage, BUT I did just receive a code for the Spider-man pre-order bonuses!

It's happening folks!
 
For PS5 GAME orders.

GAME have sent me £30 off for selected Xbox and PS games to celebrate next gen consoles, as I bought a X from them, so they probably do the same with PS5.

The games are control, Avengers, Dirt and Yakuza. I own them all, so Mike Ashley is a bit late to the party.

Was going to say that was oddly good of them, until I saw it was only 4 games. Wonder if its the Yakuza that comes free on PS+ collection? Avengers is mildly interesting, but I have heard it isnt very good

Nah it’s Yakuza like a dragon, but discount is for Xbox version only.

Control is the Ultimate edition and is £35, so effectively £5 with discount. Dirt and Avengers are available for both versions.
 
My MM and charging station arrived. Now to stare at it for a week.
 
My copy of Miles Morales has arrived. Was about to open the packaging, then realised I don't have the console yet :(

Hopefully DPD/Amazon are this efficient next week with the console delivery.

You got my hopes up with that. There aren't any Yakuza games in the collection.

 
Also @One Night Only doesn’t look like Asda will be getting stock. They keep saying on Twitter they won’t get stock until later this year. I am sure there will be some other retailers who probably take more orders on release date like with the Series X.

One of the lads at work was saying nowt is expected till march :lol: feck knows where he got that idea from. I think I'll be keeping an eye on Argos on release day mainly.
 
Friend in the US took today off work for his best buy pre-order.... email late yesterday to tell him his won't arrive until 18th November.

Is it bad if I start sending him whatsapp messages asking how the PS5 is along these lines

"How are you finding the load times on the PS5?"

"Is the PS5 really as large in real life as it looks in pictures?"

For context he is a Liverpool fan and was quite happy to gloat at the earlier US release date compared to the UK and how he would be enjoying his PS5 for a whole week before me.

Yes I'm 45 years old but I am not too old to resort to such things surely?

Why are you even asking? Rip him apart!
 
Does anyone know how we are going to be able to get hold of these if we haven't preordered them?
I'm probably giving my boyfriend money towards it for Xmas
It needs to be from Currys as we have a voucher from there from when I worked somewhere you got staff discounts on them them im paying the remaining cost. However Currys don't really give any info on their website on availability
 
Someone asked on here earlier but can't see the post now, but does Shopto's Discount on Digital Playstation credit ever end ?

No.

It’s been there for past year. But obviously things can change.
 
18th November.
Great day. Rip him apart.

You'll just have to keep looking at stock trackers but I'll be honest - it is going to be very difficult to get it this side of Christmas unless you find someone who has multiple orders and wants to give you one.
 
Got my controller today buzzing, though I don't have anything else coming. At least I'll get to hold it for a few months, take it to bed etc so my hands are used to it and I hit the ground running
 
Spiderman MM never turned up today. Doesn't matter as it was shipped a week early, but I won't be happy if the PS5 is late.
 
I’m still waiting Spider-Man and my media remote which I thought both would come today, I mean it doesn’t matter but it’s made me nervous.

Little to no chance in my opinion there’s a massive demand and on top if the initial launch it’s the Christmas period. Keep checking stock I think it will be a while before it’s sat on shelves.
 
Got my controller, charging dock and headset from ShopTo earlier. Not even unboxed them yet. Gonna wait for the console to arrive.
Not sure what the return policy is, but I'd unbox and make sure everything at least turns on in case there are issues.
 
Recommend me a good one and send me the money for it.

I got a western digital 4tb from Amazon years back for £100 or so. They usually on sale every Black Friday, so wait.

Are you going to play games off the external? Or just store them and move them over? I would recommend storing and moving, so you benefit from the faster loading times.

But wish they had SSD expansion like Xbox at launch.
