Has anybody actually got it standing? Would love to see your setup if so

The rain stuff was great. It all works together so well, just hope Devs take advantage of it. I’d imagine with how much Sony have pushed it though they’ll be telling developers they have to utilise it.

It's about utilizing it well too mind. Jeff Gerstmann on Giamtbomb this week saying he's now seen more examples of it being implemented badly than well.

Obviously it's better to have it than not though and have the option.

Naughty Dog will do some amazing things with it I just hope they don't go over the top and every 30 seconds theres use of the haptic feedback or the triggers.

TLOU2 could already take big advantage of it with an update from what I've seen of that game.
 
Northern Ireland. Found out yesterday they dicked around and missed launch day delivery, but it supposed to come tomorrow

DPD say they cant see anything unusual on their system, but for me the app tracking says

If it's coming tomorrow then you might be okay. If the tracking hasn't updated overnight then there's some sort of problem.
 
Hi my name is Erika, rate my boobs 1-10.

With a pic, didn’t get that on PS4..
 
Great, though I've purely been playing Astro. Whoever had the idea to include it in the console deserves a raise. Perfect homage to previous generations, perfect introduction to all the controller has to offer (the first time you are in rain is a particular 'woah' moment) and, by having pretty much everyone be able to play it including the developers of games, it should theoretically encourage third party usage of the DualSense features.

Yeah it was a great idea to get people on board and showcase ideas of how it can be used for other studios.

I'll be interested to see how many people actually open and play it when we get some stats in a few weeks.

You'd have thought for early adopters it'd be a high percentage.
 
How do delivery drivers think they're going to get away with stealing these?

Is it really worth your job? Possible jail? Criminal record? Absolute idiots man.

Yea I'm supicous myself but it they say it's still on track theres probably nothing I can do for now.

Not that it matters. My internet went down late last night and Sky say it's an external fault with my line (just my line) and that openreach will fix it in the next 5 working days. It's not my week.

My GF's office mate's husband was done for this lately working for UPS. Over 50k of Rolex watches went missing (and they magically paid off all their credit cards and debt). He was caught, but only sacked and let off with community service. He has since worked for other delivery firms.

Just letting you know I sent something to NI recently via DPD and it went to the Antrim Depot. Just strange how your one is going to France. Who is the other guy on here that ordered from Argos and got delayed? Maybe he can help you with his tracking.
 
Just a quick tip for anyone that's getting a "4K HDR not supported" line in the screen settings menu, where it will only let you display HDR at 1080p. I had to go into my TVs external input settings and enable enhanced 4K signal format.

Thanks for this, read it earlier and came in useful when i set it up as this was the case.

Wtf? That's ridiculous! So basically they do it because there is no real punishment. Imagine getting caught stealing 50k and your next job is the exact same thing. Absolutely mental.

Does anyone know of any firms taking on delivery drivers? I'd prefer to deliver diamonds or gold bars if possible.

Think you're talking about me who also lives in NI. @Tiber Mine hasn't updated since 2:57am and says it's in Birmingham. Very odd that yours is in France but hopefully we'll both get them tomorrow.

It's one of those "couldn't make it up!" scenarios. Even worse, the woman still brags about it (which we suspect is how he got caught in the first place, plenty in the office were candidates for snitching him up). She doesn't say he still does it, but everyone suspects he's at it still as every now and then she's in new stuff she can't afford.

Well the DPD Ireland ref number says it was scanned in France at 2am. The DPD UK number says it was scanned in Birmingham at virtually the same time. And DPD can't see the France thing on their system at all.

So hopefully it's not actually in france. But at this point nothing will surprise me
 
FFS , post of stolen PS5s are not willing me with hope :(

Think I finally set my tv to enhanced quality which I hadn’t ever done :lol:

That absolutely terrible, few years back I remember staff stealing stock from a technological company I was at and they would go to lengths to ensure people were blacklisted unable to work within a similar sector / industry. I'm also perplexed because Rolex serials always tell the story, he must have sold to a dodgy distributor.

Yea the DPD UK tracking number (which has a far better app) says

We've received your order details, and we're expecting your parcel shortly



Of course none of this would be an issue if Argos had the common sense to ship 48 hour orders a day early. My Spiderman disc was also 2 days late and I cancelled Cyberpunk from them last night. Will reorder from Amazon or Sony

Many years ago I worked in a high street bank and a girl eventually admitted to stealing a couple of grand from the till - thanks for the sleepness nights you bitch and me starting smoking but that's not the point.

When she eventually cracked she had already started working somewhere else and they let her resign rather than want the story getting out across the town.

I think there were a couple of them at it and he just got roped in. Certainly wasn't the brains behind the operation with the outlay and his missus bragging :lol:

More likely it's in Birmingham than France I reckon. Wouldn't worry too much about it but I know it's hard to relax until it's safe in your arms. :lol:
 
Chances of any dribs and drabs of stock tonight?


Quite a few sites had stock today. Amazon sent out an email earlier today saying they are totally sold.out and don't know when they will have more

I agree, itl probably be ok. Especially as yours still says Birmingham, but this is an oddly specific mistake :p

The launch of these next gen consoles has been nothing short of a disaster. Packages being stolen, deliveries not turning up on time or going missing and a serious lack of stock to meet the demand. Obviously the pandemic has played a massive part in that but some of the other stuff is inexcusable.

There’ll never be enough stock to meet demand for launch consoles.

Every tech launch this year has had the same issue.

As for the couriers? Things are always going to turn up late. And I say that as someone who is having delivery delays

Of course everyone can’t get theirs on day one but it seems this time round there’s been a serious lack of stock across the board for both consoles. I can only assume Covid has majorly affected the manufacturing of these machines, I mean Microsoft have said there facing stock shortages into April next year, that’s mental.

Aye, the pandemic has really fecked everything up. I’m probably only noticing it a lot more as I’m desperately trying to obtain a console everyday.
 
How are you guys finding downloads I’m having a nightmare here with modern warfare and Cold War. Taking very long and saying I don’t have enough space?
 
The UI would improve immediately if they flipped cards with the bottom quick guide, or at least had it so you default to the guide first.

I keep hitting the home button, moving to the right and then releasing I'm flicking through cards.
 
I'm putting money towards one for my bf Xmas present. It will need to be from Curry's as I got a voucher from there before I left my old job as they gave discounts on them

I know I have next to no chance of getting one any time soon but If I do am I better doing their click and collect service where you go park outside and they bring it out to you? I was going to get it delivered but people on here saying the courier has probably nicked it is giving me concerns....

Currys use DPD, so you should be fine.

Most the problems with deliveries are Yodel and Amazon so far.
