Gaming PlayStation 5

fecking scalpers.

I may have some cocaine I can trade though. I feel like an NPC.

Go and collect 5 bags of cocaine, 32 pingers, a gram of ketamine, 100 balloons and 20g of shrooms, take them to the lady with the beard in west city and I’ll send the spare PS5 on the next Griffin.

:lol:
Ah, a low level easy quest in the region of Hartlepool! Just might take a while to find the lady, multiple bearded women.
 
Finished God of war today. Really enjoyed the story even though I am not a big fan of hack and slash games. PS collection is great for those who have switched from Xbox. So many great games. Apart from FIFA which just got the next gen update, I have only played UC4 and GoW on my console.

Now to decide if I should start Persona 5 or wait for Cyberpunk.
 
Wouldn’t get too excited with the Shopto orders. It depends on what time you ordered it as they seem to be still taking them and it says back ordered, so might be another Scan situation.
I did think this, but I got a confirmation email telling me to expect it by December 18th, and they've since tweeted that they've sold out. So I'm hoping they can process all those backorders before Christmas.

Edit: Tweet from them to hopefully confirm:

I am doing god of war too, why not try days gone? I’ve heard that’s quite decent.
 
Any word on the dualsense charging stations being stocked again soon? Sick of charging my controllers like a peasant.
 
Had one at payment stage from Smyths for the December pre order, then it came up with an error. Then I refreshed and it said January pre order then error again, all sold out. Nice.
 
Anyone in Sydney looking for one they have them in JBhifi in Leichhardt. They guy told me if people call they say they are out of stock, but walk in customers can get one
 
Do you like turn based RPG's? Is that Persona 5 Royal? I played the original which was really good. Well deserving of it's hype.
I have never played one! Yes, it is Persona 5 Royal - it got great reviews.
 
So what does everything are the must play games on the ps collection? I’ve played the obvious ones like GOW but still a few I’ve never touched.
 
Is everyone else's PS5 like mine? Basically silent for 90% of the time but every hour or so it does a loud whir for about 10 seconds and then silent again.
 
I have hardly touched Spiderman, wanted to leave it for right before Cyberpunk.

Played Astro first, then Bugsnax. Got both to 100% completion. Then I bought Crash 4 and Dragon Ball Z Kakarot in the sale, have been messing around with those for about a week.

Started Spiderman last night. It's just more of the same great content, which is exactly what I wanted. Would like to see more old school expansions like this for already great games

Same with mine. It's a minor quibble so won't be losing sleep over it

One of mine is.
 
Yeah I'm not complaining as compared to the PS4 it's a dream. Just wondered if this was normal.

Yeah it's just a disc check. As long as you've got a disc in it'll periodically do it.

Can't recall whether the PS4 ever did that or whether the PS4 was so loud that it wasn't even noticeable.

Same. Think it's when it reads the disc. I booted up my PS4 last night and forgot just how loud that fecker is. I'll live with a slight whirring noise for now.

You 100%ed Sackboy?

The last world after beating Vex is bloody hard. I only play in coop though so that probably doesn't help.
 
How many of you have your PS5 horizontal as opposed to standing (d'uh!)?

I had it standing to begin with but we've moved the christmas tree in the same corner and I started getting terrified that bits would fall off into the vents and melt onto the PS5 so I've put it under the TV cabinet now. Still has lots of breathing space and has made the whirr in both positions.

Ah. I can probably take MM out at this point.

I have it horizontal for now, as I'm stuck at my parents house and don't have the room/it's too risky with two cats about the house, but once I'm back at my usual base in London I'll be standing it vertically.

I've seen some people have fixed the volume by putting pressure on that area or putting rubber mats underneath the PS5. Can't say it bothers me enough to try :lol:

Okay no worries, just be prepared to take your time at the beginning, to understand how it works. Excellent, Persona 5 Royal is even better. It really is a wonderful game. I have fond memories of it. The soundtrack especially is immense.
 
Been trying to grab a charging station but they seem rarer to get hold of than the console itself. Any ideas when they'll be in stock? I've noticed the scalpers already trying to fleece us for £100 for a feckin controller charger :lol:

Same boat for the Pulse 3D :)

Is there a way to get Royal? I think I just have the vanilla game from the PS Plus collection. Can only see royal for the price of a full game.

I expect they'll be around sooner than this but on one site here you can pre-order now for delivery at the beginning of March...

Have you played any of these yet?
  • Bloodborne (one of the best games of all time, it is bloody hard though!)
  • The Last Of Us Remastered (excellent adventure/survival game, graphics aged a bit, but it's still a masterpiece)
  • Persona 5 (One of the best RPG's/PS4 games, it's a blast from start to finish)
  • Uncharted 4 (the Uncharted series is excellent. If you're a fan of stuff like Tomb Raider, you'll like this. If you can get hold of the Uncharted trilogy beforehand I do recommend to play them before though for the character progression)
  • Until Dawn (thoroughly decent choice survival game, it's a bit teen drama'y but your choices actually matter. One of best in genre)
  • Batman Arkham Knight (havent played it, but it's a very solid Batman game)
  • Ratchet & Clank/Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy (if you like platformers these are excellent of course)
 
I expect they'll be around sooner than this but on one site here you can pre-order now for delivery at the beginning of March...
Just seen its available on German Amazon with a December 10th estimate for delivery. Tempting, but the price comes to around £36 when you factor in currency conversion and shipping charges. Not sure its worth it considering its about £25 RRP in the UK.
 
Just received an email from ShopTo saying my PS5 back order has reached their warehouse and ready to be shipped soon :D
 
:lol:

On a serious note I am planning to sell the second one for a large profit if you’re interested in funding my cocaine habit.
