Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

I'm not sure when I'll get a PS5 but I just want to say that I'll be living vicariously through you lot until I do

@nessisonett I've got an image of this year's John Lewis Christmas ad just being CCTV footage of you going mental through the store, smashing everything up with a rake to the tune of 'Somewhere Only We Know '

@kyleforrester87 What did you do? Camp out in the office building? Or stalk the postman on its way to the office?

@redd214 That's a lot lol! Good to know God of War runs great, that bodes well for the sequel.

@Thrillho Shame, means you miss my awesome photo of the PS5!

@Octane yeah well been saving up for this launch for 2 years now so went a bit more extreme than usual lol!

Best thing about GOW on the PS5 is that the machine is damn near silent running it vs on the pro/slim. When I was playing through the first time the ps4 got so loud and I got so worried about it I would put the ps4 on a small table outside of the entertainment stand so it could breathe. Was really the only game I personally found that made it sound like a jet engine!

Well RDR2 online loads about 40s faster compared to the PS4.

@Gremio108 To be fair, you could probably find plenty makeshift weapons in John Lewis. Rakes, scythes, kitchen knives and stuff. I know where I’m going in a zombie apocalypse.

@nessisonett That's why I like John Lewis. It's just getting so hard these days to find a quality scythe merchant you can trust

I've just realised my 3 year old can review Astro Bot and the new controller better than I ever could

@carlos82 that's a beautiful picture man! Get em started young that way you'll always have a buddy to play coop with!!

Here is my setup. Not a PS fan boy, honest! 😁 Although a boo from Nintendo has gate crashed the party...

So -
ps4 Pro: Claptrap dances across the screen 3 1/2 times while loading the game.
Ps5: Claptrap dances across the screen 1 full time while loading the game.

Who needs videos for load time comparisons?

@JohnnyShoulder Bloody hell, I didn’t realise the PS5 was that huge until I saw it in context! Guess one FUD turned out to be true 😂😂

@nessisonett You mean a 2 pint carton of milk wasn't good enough?! 🤣

Yeah until you see it in person, you don't realise how big it is! But if that is to keep it cool and quiet, so be it.

@Mega-Gazz I would like to see a video of that!

Guess my luck’s ran out.

Ghosts of Tsushima update 1.16 will not install. It downloads, then when installing coughs up an error and says, “Error, Cannot Install”. Tried restoring my licenses and rebooting the console... nothing.

It’s like the PS5 doesn’t know what to do with updates for PS4 games on external storage.

edit
Moved game to internal storage. Disconnected external SSD. Rebooted. Update installed. Plugged in external drive again. Moving game back to external SSD now that it’s updated. Try this if you encounter the CE-107857-8 error

So Wal-Mart got a restock today. I actually got one step further today — got the PS5 into my cart, loaded my mailing address, and was authorizing the payment when it kicked me out and then finally came back with the “out of stock” messaging. The whole thing went on for 10 minutes, fighting the reload sequence to get to that point, which is further than I got on launch day. I’m strangely optimistic now. If they restock weekly, then I’m probably only 2-3 weeks away from actually completing the transaction.

The only problem is that when I return to the Wal-Mart website now, the PS5 doesn’t even come up anymore on the site. It appears to have been removed in it’s entirety from any existence in their virtual storefront, whereas previously you could search and at least bring up an image and it said “out of stock.”

@Th3solution I’d assume removing the page is to cut down on traffic coming from Google. If there’s no PS5 page, it won’t appear in searches and less traffic will flow to the site looking to purchase an out of stock PS5.

@nessisonett Good point. The store has to be able to function to sell the thousands of other products it has without being bombarded by PS5 customers.
