@NEStalgia i have nothing to base this on, but my feeling is that those places putting up preorders simply closed them because sony might have said to? there is NO way over 10 million preorders were taken in the short amount of time they were listed.
@AJDarkstar - i'm going to keep mine for now. if i can bring resogun, SSHD , everybodys golf and snowrunner over to ps5, i'll shut it down. if i can't, i'll be keeping it for those games.
i tried gamestop.com - i got one in my cart but it wouldn't let me check out. said, not available. they all couldn't have been taken that fast - preorders tonight are really wonky. we'll just have to wait to see what goes on tomorrow - good luck!
@Shepherd_Tallon - i guess it's possible. what surprised me is how much i liked it. i'm not a FF fan and the only one i really liked was #7 - but this one looks excellent to me.
@KidKnee_90 - do you keep the console in standby? i keep mine in that mode and it always updates as soon as the patch is available. then when i turn the system on to play, there is a notification saying an update was done.
edit: if it doesn't update in standby - check the settings - that might not be turned on.
@MichaelHawj - me too. i'm counting on them saying demon souls, spiderman, bugsnax are launch games. hoping for ratchet and returnal to follow in the next 2-4 months.
i want demon souls gameplay and for it to be a launchgame (i think it is). i also want to see more of spiderman and bugsnax and returnal. as for the future - something unexpected. price i don't care about -i'm getting a ps5, regardlesss. i do want to know when preorders start. i woudn't mind seeing the UI - but i think that will come maybe at PAX on friday or sometime in october.
@BRUTALSAM - uh, they're also at PAX, 2 days after this show. so, no it's not the last one - and i fully expect at least one more show in october to talk more on the tech side of the ps5.
@Grumblevolcano i think they'll talk more about the tech side (UI, SSD) at PAX on friday or a later date. i think tomorrow is launch games gameplay - a few other game surprises and price/release date/preorder date
@ShogunRok k - that doesn't make any sense - so, going forward, the word "monster" isn't allowed to be used by anyone in the WORLD? i could see if another drink company tried to use it; but, this has nothing to do with drinks.
@Porco - are you saying sony would lower quality control? or that it would be lower because of......what? and i've owned every PS console on day1 - except for a couple of controllers that went bad (i lost my launch ps4 controller a few months ago) i've had no hardware issues.
@Ichiban - me too! i just hope a lot of people are hung up on price, psnow, gamepass or whatever when preorders open - gives us more time to get that preorder in!
@thedevilsjester - i understand the extra costs. but sony doesn't operate in a bubble. every other company that rolls out new hardware has those costs as well. so, as far as where the black and red liines are determined, those are determined by "cost to make" vs "retail price". i wasn't trying to argue with you - your comment didn't say anything about the console costing 450 to make so i was just throwing that out there. i (along with many others) fully believe the price will be 499/399. and, i don't see that price dropping for quite a while.
@TheAdza - i don't. i expect demon souls, spiderman bugsnax to be at launch. i'll also be playing GoT again plus that free dlc they have coming - and i want to play LoU2 on ps5 (along with quite a few other ps4 games i own).
@Noob_Saibot - the only 3rd party devs MS could get that i think would be a big loss for sony (in terms of 3rd party games) would be techland, Bethesda, or Fromsoft. the ones you mentioned aren't that big of a deal. i do see the point you're trying to make, but i remember when MS bought Rare and i thought that was a HUGE deal - and Rare hasn't been anywhere close to as good a dev house as they were when they were making nintendo games.....so, just buying up devs isn't everything.
@Salohcin and i'd agree with you if theyhad enough games (old or new) that i want to play - they don't. and that being said, show me one survey that shows xbox outselling sony next gen. - because there aren't any. as of now, show me ONE game MS has showed gameplay of that's running on an actual xbox seriesx? show me one great exclusive MS has for their upcoming launch? show me one exclusive MS has hinted might come to the seriesX in the first year???? IF xbox does manage to get a consistent stream of high-quality 1st-party games - that, combined with gamepass would be a good deal. but, after 18 years of not figuring out the 1st-party issue, i 'm not holding my breath. forget leading the console market, let me know when MS even manages to get out of last place.
@Noob_Saibot - explain then, why "the richest company" has fallen on their collective faces for the entire 18 years they've been in the console market. i have no clue why you think MS is a threat - this gen has been a disaster for them.
@Agramonte - agreed. i see some people make posts on different sites that the'll wait till black friday for a sale - like these consoles will be available for a sale just days after they launch. LOL
@jdv95 i think all of us that want one feel that way. i'm in the states and i'm a little jumpy right now - once i get that preorder, i'll be able to relax.
it's a 40 minute show about launch games and what's coming in the near future. i'm sure we'll get price, release date and preorder date. i'm really hoping to see demon souls and spiderman gameplay.

Re: God of War Ragnarok Announced for PS5 in 2021
@Jacko11 - could happen. i was thinking the same thing when "ragnarok" came on screen. it never said "god of war" - just ragnarok with kratos voice.
Re: PS5's Retail Packaging Is Obscenely Attractive
not that it means ANYTHING - i like the white box with the blue at the top.....very striking.
Re: 99% of PS4 Games Can Be Played on PS5, Says PlayStation Boss

Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Games Will Cost More
demon souls and spiderman make this a great start. i was hoping for bugsnax at launch too but the other 2 will keep me very occupied
Re: PS5's New DualSense Controller Will Cost $69.99
i don't need any extra controllers. i am getting the pulse headset for sure.
Re: God of War Ragnarok Announced for PS5 in 2021

Re: PS5 Pre-Orders Start Tomorrow at Select Retailers
@roe - exactly - WTH, sony? it's gonna be a free-for-all tomorrow!
Re: PS5 Price, Release Date Confirmed: 12th November in US, 19th in EU, $499 Standard, $399 Digital
@Shepherd_Tallon - all the small print said was "available on pc".

Re: Why Does PS4 Copying Update Files Take So Long?
@KidKnee_90 - do you keep the console in standby? i keep mine in that mode and it always updates as soon as the patch is available. then when i turn the system on to play, there is a notification saying an update was done.
edit: if it doesn't update in standby - check the settings - that might not be turned on.
Re: Why Does PS4 Copying Update Files Take So Long?
@Turismo4GT - that's not what's being said. there are articles saying SSDs should allow game size to be smaller on ps5 .
Re: Fans Believe God of War 2 Could Be Part of PS5 Showcase Event
no way they show GoW today. it's too soon. and they shouldn't show it. this should be about launch games and what's coming in the next 4-6 months.
Re: PS5 Showcase Event Confirmed for This Wednesday
@MichaelHawj - me too. i'm counting on them saying demon souls, spiderman, bugsnax are launch games. hoping for ratchet and returnal to follow in the next 2-4 months.

Re: When Is the PS5 Showcase Event?
@Shepherd_Tallon - judging from some comments the last couple of days - some people have very unrealistic expectations.
Re: Gods & Monsters Name Changed to Immortals Fenyx Rising Following Opposition from Monster Energy, Apparently
@ShogunRok k - that doesn't make any sense - so, going forward, the word "monster" isn't allowed to be used by anyone in the WORLD? i could see if another drink company tried to use it; but, this has nothing to do with drinks.
Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
@G8crasha - considering this is just rumor, it's hard to say it will impact anything.
Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
@Mitsui and xbox next-gen prices get leaked on sonys 25th anniversary last week - lots of "coincidences", huh?
Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
@Razrye888 - yea, i caught that too. and this rumor starts right after herman hulst, last night, said that sony is ready for the launch.
Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
herman hulst tweeted "WE'RE READY" yesterday. and there is nothing to gain for him to lie. i'll take that over a rumor.
Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
@glassmusic - agreed. but this is why it comes with a 1-year warranty.

Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
@Northern_munkey - i'm with you. i'm completely focused on getting my preorder - i'm really wanting to play demon souls all day on day1!
Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
@Ichiban - me too! i just hope a lot of people are hung up on price, psnow, gamepass or whatever when preorders open - gives us more time to get that preorder in!
Re: Rumour: Sony Forced to Cut PS5 Production By 4 Million Units Due to Chip Troubles
@NYJetsfan123 - that is a very valid point.

Re: PS5 Price May Dip Below $400, Analyst Speculates
@Wake13 explain how they're selling at a "huge loss" - it's been reported that the box costs 450 to make.

Re: PS5 Price May Dip Below $400, Analyst Speculates
i think the price will be 499 and 399. with these types of rumors, by tomorrow, sony will be selling the ps5 for 100 dollars. LOL
Re: PS5 Price May Dip Below $400, Analyst Speculates
@OmegaStriver - you and me both. just give me a preorder!!! LOL
Re: Bungie Outright Denies Microsoft Acquisition Speculation

Re: Bungie Outright Denies Microsoft Acquisition Speculation
@MJ - your comment is LITERALLY, one of the most foolish statements i've heard in a while. i can't believe you even took the time to post it.

Re: Sony Using Air Freight to Meet PS5 Demand This Holiday
@I_Like_It - anyone who preorders will get one. those who don't - i don't like their chances.
