Yeah, they had login issues last night and just said they can provide the reward points to your account if you email when the PS5 is dispatched.
Thats great, thanks. I don't shop in game very often, but 1800 seemed like a lot of points to miss out on. Though I would give up the points if they would just send me a bloody confirmation email.
Hopefully it’ll come through today! I got mine last night at 23:44, but I think I was lucky as I didn’t experience any lag or anything on the site.
Nope afraid not and to make matters worse I actually have to do some work too haha.
I got my paypal receipt at 23:33 so I think I was pretty early order. All should be fine, but I will feel better when its confirmed
Yeah FFs go on sale every other monthMy mistake. Just checked and the original is still double the price on PSN
I get what you mean though about the convenience of being able to use other websites for codes, it’s something I hadn’t considered before.Preordered one this morning on Amazon along with the new headset. Buzzing.
Seeing a few confirmed pre-orders for sale on Ebay. One currently had 28 bids and is going for £7,700 - something tells me the seller isnt seeing a penny of that...
its also against the Ebay rules
I've just looked at the 'Double Discount' page of the PSN Store - AC Origins is £42 and RDR2 is £42.59Yeah FFs go on sale every other month
I've just bought a better version of Origins will all DLC for £15. RDR2 is on Game Pass but I could buy it for £33.
It's time to admit the digital PS5 isn't going to be good value.

Could the site staff kindly troll each other in the mod forum

Thoughts?

Which site staff?
All true, but a console is always worth whatever price if it's only bought for the exclusives IMO. Up to the customer to decide that.I've just looked at the 'Double Discount' page of the PSN Store - AC Origins is £42 and RDR2 is £42.59

Does anyone what version will be available in the UAE ?
Read that before, think people are overreacting. I think the difference is (correct if I’m wrong) MS have told developers that new games have to work on both Series X and Series S so developers are complaining of how that is going to hinder them. Sony have done no such thing, they’re just releasing 3 of their new PS5 titles onto the PS4 aswell.
Gladly.Then don’t buy it
'Not next gen games' as Elvis would say, yikes.
Nah, resetera were wrong. Says out of stock as soon as you click them
Will you be able to buy digital games via CD Keys (or otherwise) like you can for the PSN subscription? Being locked into only purchasing from the Play Station store might end up being more expensive over time.
I currently play Fifa, and not that often so I won't by either any time soon, but what's the consensus between digital vs disk?

Just gone to curry’s and now I have 2 on preorder will be cancelling Amazon’s one.

Why not make it a hat trick with Argos tomorrow?
Nah. If the ShopTo site worked, I’d show you how to get top up wallets cheaper. Digital probably perfect for someone like you if you just buy Fifa.
Please keep up the good fight in here guys

in store? yea that seems to be the way to go. Glad you got sorted.
Yeah I agree, although pretty much everyone here will also be buying third party games.
Ps5 is a great console either way.
It’s just a few here have tried to make out that the digital is great value, and I don’t believe that to be the case. Some of the most fanboyish have even suggested it blows the series S out the water, which definitely isn’t the case when you consider why many would go that route.
Well I might as well!
Yep in store the staff were completely blindsided by this, felt quite bad!
Well all my eggs are firmly in the Argos basket, I’m gonna have to get a small army to try and help me secure.
I hope they announce what time they are going live in advance. Either that or be at a store the moment they open
I don't think there's much in it tbh.
In my situation, over the last few years I've hardly bought a single game on release (even waited a few months for FIFA, COD etc)
I've always got a massive backlog aswell, and this generation is no different, as I missed out on the ps4, so have all those exclusives to play, so more than happy to wait for newer games to go down in price.
There will be sales and Sony will not lock us up to paying RRP forever, because they have MS as competition, and they also will want to continue selling their digital consoles (to make all of the game profits), rather than people switching back to physical.
Pretty obvious that they wouldn't push the PS Now route, not initially at least. Subscription model suits first parties with GaaS which Microsoft heavily lean into, while Sony's first parties are pretty much all single player experiences with not a lot of microtransactions. PlayStation have been linked with acquiring a few studios which have multiplayer as a focus so it might be an avenue they're exploring, but wouldn't expect anything for the first few years of the generation at least when the infrastructure needs to be upgraded first.
The PS+ Collection is great value though. Even if, like me, you've had PS+ throughout the generation and got all the games on that, there are still a number of games like Days Gone, Persona 5 etc that are new to you. Great for those who are swapping from Xbox to PlayStation and great for patient gamers like me who don't buy games instantly apart from the odd exception (FF7R).
The problem is I’m limited to what I can do what with work so really online is my only option.
It's a tough one for me as I would only ever suggest a PlayStation (or a Nintendo console for that matter) to someone if there are multiple exclusive games they're interested in. If it's going to be your only machine and you crave certain PS5-only games, I still think the Digital PS5 is a good deal to get straight into the meat of it at £360. I think you're right in the long-term thing, as some games on the PlayStation store obviously seem to for some reason have higher prices during sales or as standard a lot of the time. However, if you're the kind of person who was just going to buy these on release at full price then there is no difference (except you save £90 from the outset) and get your PlayStation exclusive content.
If someone came to me and asked what should I buy and they weren't interested in any first party exclusives from the other two, I would say get an Xbox. I would probably even be steering people to a Series S honestly, as someone from the outside looking in who doesn't actually plan to own either the PS5 or Xbox at the moment. I just like to look at all the pros and cons and decide who would get my money if I decide to become a customer to one of them. At the moment, I'd be coin flip between the Series S and Digital PS5 (and I'm someone who still buys physical games almost entirely so work that one out
)You'd be better off keeping the pre order and flogging 1 on ebay, people always pay extra when they missed the pre order an desperately want one.Just gone to curry’s and now I have 2 on preorder
