Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@nessisonett what a shambles, I know Game and Very are reported to go live at 9am and Amazon at noon. Amazon at least seem to stick to their times

It'll be interesting to see how many units were actually sold after all this. Exactly how small was the stock allocation, or was the allocation fine but it was unbelievably popular?

Are you absolutely f*cking serious? Had it in my basket for a second time, this time with John Lewis. Literally at the verifying my card stage, as in the final stage of the order and it crashes and now it’s out of stock.

@nessisonett Sony heard what you said about the Demon's Souls new OST and are screwing with you.

@Matroska I’ve clearly offended some higher power.

I find it interesting that the box has an 8K symbol on it, despite the PS5 not actually outputting in 8K yet. Strange.

@nessisonett It is all the negativity you have been spreading about PlayStation and be a general FUDite. 🤣

@JohnnyShoulder I guess the FUD life was bound to catch up with me sooner or later...

I just got mine!

@nessisonett Yeah, you’re reliving my experience last week at our launch. Absolute madness.

@JohnnyShoulder I’ve been rechecking stock off and on this week. Looks like I might have a shot today, but I’m not holding my breath. Especially after hearing that you can even get all the way to the payment part of it and have the rug pulled out from under you at literally the last second.

Maybe I'm just incredibly dense, but how do you boot up a game? I've been trying to play Astro Bot, but I can't figure out how.

Over here Curry’s is an arts & crafts store, so every time I hear someone talk about it for buying a PS5 I do a double take.

F*** me this thing is heavy. If the searing pain in my abdomen is any indication, I may have given myself a hernia just getting it out the box.

I like how the description of the PSVR Processor Unit is "Nobody really knows what goes on in there...".

Woo hoo! Got mine now, it certainly is a hefty fella. Going to get it set up then try Astrobot while the Spidey games install.

Why hello Mr PS5, are you thirsty? Here have some milk!

Phew, my Amazon order has finally changed to being out for delivery.

@Mega-Gazz It's weird, though. Sometimes you do get places selling stuff you really don't expect. Homebase here sells furniture and stuff like that, but they also now sell games. Tesco sells food and household stuff like toilet paper and soap - but also games. I always thought it was funny that petrol stations sell flowers and charcoal too.

Anyone have the system randomly spin up the disk that's in even when just on the home screen with nothing playing for a few seconds.

@Matroska yea, here in Canada one of the best places to pre-order PS5 - actually listed on Sony’s website - was a pharmacy. Moreover, because they had a bonus on their loyalty points that day, people ended up getting $180 worth of reward points for buying a ps5 on launch day from them.

Astro's Playroom is phenomenal so far; loving all the throwbacks. Adaptive triggers and rumble feel good as well. Does Bugsnax use any of that?
