Playstation 5: Thread 02

[Cassius_Smoke]

Amazon preorders are up. Got mine in.

[BIG EDD]

So my 1p registered interest on ShopTo, ordered back in March, seems to have changed into a preorder. Will that be enough to secure a console, you think?

This is on my pre order page with Shopto

Regarding PS5 Consoles:

• Clicking confirm does not guarantee stock on day one. We will inform you via email when we receive the confirmation of allocation from Sony.
• You have until 24/09/2020 to click CONFIRM PRE-ORDER or the registered interest will be deleted.
• This item is strictly ONE PER CUSTOMER AND HOUSEHOLD.
• Please, DO NOT PRE-PAY for your Registered Interest/Pre-Order just yet. Paying for the item now will not guarantee to get the PlayStation 5 on day one.

I placed my interest at the end of January so fingers crossed

Will PS4 VR work with this? I really want Beat Saber after trying it last year and I'm thinking now might be a good time to get one second hand.

I've gotta say, Sony really ****ed up with the preorders. Announcing it via a tweet and giving people a seconds notice.

Love seeing all the active users in a new console thread!
Stop being lurkers and get posting, gang!

Anyhoo, I liked the PS+ pack, that's a great starter. Demon's Souls looks h'amaze and next-gen.
Deathloop sounds really intriguing. Like a mash-up of XIII, Groundhog Day and No One Lives Forever.

For me, there's not enough to move me away from a PS4 yet.
Was Demon's Souls the only PS5 exclusive title shown?! Even that's not set in stone!

£520 for a disc version and Demon's Souls? No thanks.

However, I'm pleased for those of you who are jumping in!
I'm looking forward to the DAY ONE thread, although the PS4 one was mainly people looking at loading bars.

Are these free games for PS Plus subscribers or confirmed b/c titles?

Cheers, so the VR setup will be fine, its just whether the actual game is compatible now.

I was under the impression all PS4 games would just work previously, but that doesn't seem to be the case going off that article.

Free for all PSplus subscribers.

[Atticus]

Free for all PSplus subscribers.

Wow, that's pretty ace. Cheers for the info. Loving that.

Wow, Amazon went fast. Hope everyone who wanted one got one. I have a friend currently smashing stuff in his living room in despair that he missed it by minutes :l

Didn't submit to blind panic last night, had a nice civilised checkout experience with Amazon this morning. That said, they didn't have much available bar the console, so I might be spending launch day downloading PS4 games

Demon's Souls is what I'm wanting to get, and although it looks utterly beautiful, I'm a little worried that Bluepoint might have tinkered with it a bit too much. I never got round to playing any of their other remakes, but I was always worried about them too - yes the frame rate was "fixed", but did Shadow of the Colossus feel the same way? On rewatching the Demon's Souls trailer, I was surprised there was so much audible human grunting from the main character, as an example. That doesn't feel right to me.

PSVR does work but you'll need the camera adapter cable that you can order for free. No word on how you get one yet.

[QualityChimp]

Yeah, "free", but you need a PS+ sub.
