@DonJorginho I’ll probably get my PS5 from a physical shop rather than an online retailer for that reason. If I need to return it it will be straightforward to get a replacement. The price of a day one console will be the same everywhere anyway.
I will probably pass on the PS5 at launch as I still have a huge backlog of PS4 games to play. Not only that but it will give them time to work the kinks out.
No regrets with my launch Pro. The resolution boost in many games is greatly appreciated.
Would I get one now if I planned on getting a launch PS5? Nah.
But if you won’t get a PS5 at launch, I say go for it. Sell your original one, and then when you get a PS5, sell your Pro. You’ll be a little bit out of pocket but depending on your circumstances you might not care.
Or don’t - the boost is nice but it’s not going to transform your gaming sessions.
At the end of the day, if gamings you main hobby, nothing wrong with getting some new hardware for the hell of it.
My launch PS4 hasn’t had any issues so I have faith the launch PS5 will be just fine. I might get the GameStop warranty too as then I can literally just get a new one by asking if anything is wrong. I haven’t heard of the launch PS4 having issues from anyone else either. But yeah, nothing should be wrong and if there is that’s what warranties are for.
Come to think of it my launch 3DS didn’t have any issues either.
I don’t know, I just think getting new generational hardware the day it releases is a ton of fun and makes it all the more exciting.
I’m probably moving away for a year next summer as I have an industrial placement as part of my degree so I reckon if I end up getting a PS5 that leaving my brother the Pro would at least tide him over until I get back. I really like the boosts to games like God of War but the fact Star Wars runs so badly even on the Pro worries me as there are bigger games coming this year.
@Jaz007 yeah I’m not worried about any issues with launch machines. There’s a risk, but you got a years warranty as standard and the enjoyment factor far outweighs any worries I have.
@Jaz007 Same here, well I got it a few months after launch. Mine gets a bit loud at times and it occasionally turns on by itself when a disc ejects at random times. Apart from thst its been fine though.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@kyleforrester87 I agree on the Pro - if you use your PS4 a lot and you have the setup, I actually didn't mind the upgrade. I was dubious when they first announced it and thought it was a rip off but after seeing it and having a go on a demo version I actually thought it was worth the upgrade. I sold my OG PS4 and got a good chunk towards the new machine, I've had hundreds of hours of entertainment, the HD is better and larger and it has improved my gaming experience. So if you are a big PS4 gamer and can afford it then why not? If you aren't bothered, also no problem. I felt no pressure to upgrade other than it seeming worthwhile to me.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
So i clicked on the 'Games under £16' on the Featured on PlayStation section in the What's New tab on the PS4 home screen. Turns out not a lot of games under 16 quid lol.
@JohnnyShoulder Very true! I’m lucky to have been surrounded with so many great consoles growing up and FF7 was one of the games handed down to me by my uncle when I was about 6 so in a way, it’s just as much in my childhood memories as some of the older ones here!
