PS5

[16v_er]

Managed to have about a week playing with my ps5. Impressive machine. I wish you could have themes for the home screen. Hopefully they'll sort that. I want to get ghost of tushima for it as it's meant to be good. Anyone played it ?

 

[Geddes]

They do have a wallpaper when you scroll over that certain game, would be nice if you could have it permanent like. I missed out on Ghosts few months ago when it was on sale on PS but the new version came out for pre order but don't want to fork out full price for it, I defo want to play it when it comes down in price like

Something I really like about R&C is they have the difficulty level perfect. I'm not very good at games to be honest but always had to play on medium. I thought with PS5 maybe I'd start playing on easy to not get so frustrated, but I decided to crack on with medium on R&C and it's just right. I'm actually finding myself trying to get all the side missions done etc. which I never usually bother with.

Next one I'm looking forward to now is Deathloop. I didn't realise it was centered around a single player mission. It looked more like multiplayer in the demos. Only two weeks to go

Is there any news on decent racing games? I wasn't very impressed with Dirt 4.

Or golf games. Used to love golf games but kind of skipped them on PS4.

WRC 10 is pretty good. Hard but satisfyingly good.

Yeah it's fantastic, you won't regret getting it pal.

 

[16v_er]

Really enjoying it. Nice break from war zone. The video doesn't do it justice.

Is it free roam like open world or is it a set path the last of us for example?

Free roam mate. Similar to say a GTA map.

 

[Geddes]

There’s 6 Months Free on the PS5 for Apple TV+

Where are you guys getting your PS5s? Are you paying over the odds to scalpers or using a tool of some kind? Or just lucky..

Mate picked one up from Currys this week, just went on the site and ordered one.

 

[Geddes]

I got mine many months ago from Game, i was on Twitter a couple months non stop as that twiiter i was on did nothing but alerts for ps5's and general chat about upcoming stock loads and loads of rumours but you just got to stick at it, i missed out on a few occasions.. You just got to be sometimes really quick and beat the crowd when theres suppose to stock coming in at a certain time, i got mine a couple seconds before the alarm went off an that Twitter account and i was already on ther site, pressing refresh button non stop

 

[Dafthead]

Same as Geddes, got mine back in March, just dropped lucky as I was on Game a few seconds prior to the twitter alarm going off for the masses

Does it have strip clubs

So tomorrow there's an update to allow use of more memory.
Anyone got any plans on what they are using? I think prices might have shot up since they announced the update. 1TB is around £150 plus the cost of the heat sync.
You need over 5500mbs write speed and you need the correct size heat sync.
Plenty of guides on how to fit it.

I bought one of the a few Months ago and it costed me £133 and not it's £111

[Ay Ay Ron]

You can't play ps5 games from that though @Geddes
You need to buy the internal memory slot like the one I linked above.

Yeah, I was aware of that when I ordered it, it will do me for a long time like

 

[Jack!]

I'll probably wait a bit, expecting memory to be cheaper come Black Friday, but honestly don't think I'll really need extra capacity until mid 2022 when they finally start putting out a decent bulk of PS5 games.

If I can get 1TB under about £100 on BF on some super deal I'll take it, otherwise I'll probably wait.

Tempted by this. Would need a heatsink though... presume they allowed room under the cover for one?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I think with Battlefield, Farcry and the new COD I'll probably struggle on the standard memory as I've still got Assassins creed installed.
Will probably wait until one of those games are out and I need to upgrade though.

Yeah, you need to buy a specific sized one though. Max 22mm wide 8mm deep. Quite a few guides say the same but I'd double check before buying anything.

 

[aucky]

I’ve gone for this (1TB with heat sink). I didn’t get on the beta software so it’s been in the drawer for a while!

<p>WD_BLACK™ SN850 NVMe™ SSD PCIe® Gen4 for PC or Laptop</p> | Western Digital

Long load times are obsolete with next-gen PCIe® Gen4 technology. Arm your system with RGB lighting, an optional heatsink model, and up to 2TB1 capacity.

Ok. Amazon had them in stock.

[BIFCAIDS]

Nearly had mine for 12 months, can't believe people are still struggling.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Definitely getting easier. I'm still signed up to the Twitter notifications for some reason and I'm seeing them come in thick and fast these days! Lots of comments of people being successful.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Yeah I've had notifications on telegram loads recently.

 

[Matt Cup]

Managed to reserve one from the local Argos this morning thanks to a heads up from my cousin.

You can have mine for RRP?

I've had so many notifications on telegram stock informer over the last few days. Not sure how people are still struggling for one tbh.

I used this for Xbox and managed to get one from Argos as they were doing local click and collect only. As soon as the notification comes through you have to jump on it though.

Have you got Telegram installed? It's like WhatsApp but I've found it better than using Chrome to send notifications.
Not sure how to share the actual channel. It's this though. You just search for it in the app.
