"I copped a PS5 last week."


          

Literally had it for a week now.

I'm digging it. 4K Blu-rays look amazing.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales was hella fun (beat it last night. Just have side missions to do).

Very happy do far.

looks like I'm gonna build a gaming PC.

Once God of War Ragnarok or Horizon Forbidden West drops I'll cop one immediately.

Best Buy stocks the founder's edition ones. It alerted me and I went straight to buy it from my phone. I couldn't believe it went through honestly cause I never had the same luck with a PS5.

i meant 3080 FE but typed in 3070 for some reason

i've had a new build ready for a new card just sitting in the corner collecting dust for months now. my trusty 980ti is still going strong though so i'm ok with waiting another couple of months. hopefully the 3080 FE will function as well for this new generation as the 980ti did with the previous generation

There is an unoffical Microcenter discord group I joined, they often talk about what stock is going to be at what store and when.

I went one time, waited in line early in the AM, and got a EVGA RTX 3080 the first attempt. Store got almost 80 cards that day ranging from 3070, 3080, and 3090.

Online you can forget about it because bots scoop them up in about a second.

Sony said they're ramping up production to get at least 17 to 18 million just to America alone on the next few months.

I see thr scalpers hoarding these and reselling them for outrageous prices. Those fools are gonna have a wake up call soon.

A similar turn around feels about right here, though with the pandemic still raging I'll bet demand is still much higher than this time last generation.


Plus with Game Pass and even the Playstation Instant Game Collection, it's never been a better time to be a first-time owner of either series of consoles. You can catch up on the past on the cheap cheap.

Both from Walmart. None of my close friends have been able to cop either so far. Even got a Series S for my son for Christmas. I just wish I had this luck with sneaker drops.

I was camping out for the gamestop bundle, but at just under $800 after tax, scalpers avoid the bundles thankfully.

im not even mad. i realized when I opened up Miles Morales that it also comes with remastered spiderman (one of my all time fav games)

MM is super smooth, still adjusting to the controller, slingin around the city is actually a bit clunkier and not as smooth as the ps4 controller and previous game, but maybe I just need to play more.

i also put the Cold War disc in so it could update, its going to take upwards of 5 hours. but i probably wont play cold war for a few months, im all in on spidey.

22. "Finally got one from Target this morning."
In response to Reply # 0


          

I have been half-heartedly on the lookout and occasionally use Matt Swider's Twitter to keep track of restocks. The restock didn't happen on Thursday as originally planned, but he was right on point when he said it would probably drop today (Friday) at 7-8am Eastern time. I just set up an alarm to wake up at that time and waited for his tweet, and I managed to easily pick one up on the Target app. I live in a relatively small college town, and I don't think most students are back yet, so that probably helped this time around. I'll probably pick up the Spiderman game and whatever stuff I need to play Destiny 2 on PS5 (I think I set up crossplay already). I haven't played on controller in so long, so I'm probably going to be terrible, but I'm honestly just most excited to play with old friends I haven't played with in years.

I haven't set it up yet, but I'm not sure if my monitor, an Acer XB271HU, is capable of downscaling 4k to 1440p. Kind of disappointing that Sony hasn't gotten native 1440p support working yet despite the system being out for a while now. I might also just end up getting a 4k display since I have a brand new sealed 3090 sitting around that I've been debating on selling or just keeping to replace my 1080 TI.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Most importantly, the system update allowed for installing internal SSD hard drives to increase the storage capacity for the PS5.

Anyone here planning to take the plunge on installing a M.2 SSD hard drive in their PS5?

I'm going to have to do some research on this so I can save some dollars on a hard drive as these appear to cost some serious dollars based on the very brief skimming I'm doing so far.

29. "The hard drive I ordered is on backorder status."
In response to Reply # 24


  

          

I copped an internal SSD hard drive from Western Digital the same day after I made my original post. The link for the hard drive is this https://tinyurl.com/zrv9rtds . The main reason was because of the $190 discount I noticed. The fact it comes with a heatsink was another added bonus since I didn't want to do too much extra research to see which heatsink would be compatible with the hard drive. At the time I ordered, I was told there was a 3-4 week waiting period for the hard drive to actually get shipped.

I just checked the website and it appears folks can't even order anymore. I'm guessing the computing chip shortage is still hitting companies hard in terms of shortages. I have to imagine that extends to PS5's still.

The only solace for folks out there struggling to PS5 is that the gaming library is still fairly weak.

I don't really have the time to be refreshing sites daily hoping for a drop. I don't want to pay reseller money but it's getting tempting at this point just out of convenience. I'm definitely gonna pay reseller money if I can't get one by the time Horizon Forbidden West drops...

If they tweet about a drop happening soon from a retailer make sure you log in with your account and update all your address and payment detail. Then when it launches try to check out as fast as you can.

I copped a bundle from gamestop this way after a week of following them.

I had it installed just over two weeks in mid-August before I caught a Walgreens drop. I got the disc-drive version so I spent a little more than I wanted to, and if I were patient I probably could've got the disc-less version (Walmart was selling both, alternating, the day I got mine) but I'll just consider that my scalper's fee. And who knows, maybe I'll get into the Criterion Collection at some point or whatever!

Edit: What took some getting used to was it seemed to send out alerts roughly 5-10 minutes before the drop actually happened, so initially it was frustrating seeing alerts at work and immediately seeing a sold out page. But once I finally happened to be home during one it was a pretty painless process honestly.

I got 21 notifications about PS5s being available between Saturday and yesterday, and it's beginning to feel like about one day at least every other week that's like that.

I really need to uninstall this app though lol, that was mad annoying.

it may take some time, but if you join a discord or follow the right people on twitter, you'll know when drops are coming.

have your information autofilled, and don't give up even if you don't get one initially.

I’ve platinum'd all the games that I had a PS5 upgrade for, so I don’t really wanna play them. Kinda hate that my Miles Morales progress didn’t come over but it looks good enough to play through again.

Apparently, I didn’t buy the right version that would come with the original upgraded Spider-Man. Other than that, I need to get some actual PS5 games.

I almost never disconnected the usb cable from my PS4 controller because it would always say “battery low” after a short session.

I feel like when I'm playing something that neither thing is really active for like MLB The Show, Red Dead or watching Youtube/movies it lasts for a really long time but I'll be surprised how quick it flashes the low warning when playing something like Returnal or Tsushima.

A buddy sent me an Amazon link last Wednesday afternoon. I made the 'say word?/I don't believe you' face. I clicked the link. It worked immediately without issue and a PS5 showed up at my door 2 days later. All of this was much to my surprise!

I've thought about Ebaying it and then just getting one to keep for myself sometime next year or whatever.

I've thought about copping a 2nd controller, a physical copy of NBA 2k22, a digital copy of Spiderman, and hoping that I just hit some buttons to get Firepro Wrestling, Guilty Gear Strive, and SFV transferred from my PS4.

I KNOW that I'm not selling it to a stranger in person cuz I'm not trying to get clapped over a damn Playstation. Houston keeps a story on the news about silly shit like that for that good ole ooga booga.

Right now, I'm just waiting. I'll decide by the weekend and go from there. I'm leaning towards just keeping it.

That's kinda where my head's at.

I originally thought about trying to make 'controller and games' money for selling it ebay or whatever safe online/not in person method I could use. But that's counting on someone being thirsty enough to pay a wild amount for it.

Folks seem to be regularly paying 800-ish for a console. But by the time I ship and pay whatever rake ebay takes, I don't know if I'm really all that amped.

And even with that, I'd be right back at waiting around for another easy shot at a PS5. I literally got an Amazon link texted to me the day before Thanksgiving and it worked like I was ordering some socks...no cart drama, no delays, no nothing. It showed up on Black Friday.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I was shocked at how quickly the internal memory filled up just from transferring a few of my PS4 games over...

I'm wondering how easy it is for real life, regular people to open up the PS5 and install an additional SSD...looking at YouTube videos people make it seem easy, but I've never been a "build your own gaming PC" type of person so I'm scared to open it up...

53. "Yes."
In response to Reply # 52


  

          

The hardest part was removing the plastic casing surrounding the PS5 itself as it involves sliding the casing off the system. Given that the casing isn't totally symmetrical, it'll take some patience and a decent amount of strength to slide the case off. There are quite a few Youtube videos that detail how to do this without breaking the plastic as this was my biggest fear.

Installing the hard drive itself is very easy. You don't need to have prior experience building PCs to install the hard drive.

If I were you, I would buy a SSD that already comes with a heat sink so you won't have to worry about buying that separately. Look for guides online that list SSD hard drives that come built with heat sinks that are compatible with PS5's specifications.

I REALLY don't like working with mods/equipment on expensive stuff that take a lot of strength to disassemble. I'm a pretty strong guy, and always afraid I'm going to break whatever I'm working with.

In response to Reply # 54


  

          

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Like I said before, the most important thing is buying a SSD with a heat sink already built on since the PS5 does have specifications to what will fit in the system.

I don't think it even took me five minutes to install the hard drive.

before you actually do it if you still feel uncomfortable. There's a grip of unofficial videos you can look at outside of the official Sony Playstation video for installing the hard drive.

If most of your games are gonna be ps4 games, you could also do the external drive for those games and wait on the ps5 extra drive until the prices go down a little.

I’m going this route for now.

In response to Reply # 52


  

          

I desperately needed more space. I had all my PS4 games on external and just PS5 games on the internal and was completely out of space. Now with this new drive I got like 1.3 TB of space left. Now I need Xbox to lower the price on their proprietary joints cuz I'll be damned if I pay $400 for 2TB of storage. I'm mad I paid $220 for 1TB already.

In response to Reply # 60


  

          

the reason I don't dabble into RDR2 or my other games on my PS5 are really because I don't want to wait 4 hours for it to install again. And this is really what is stopping me from upgrading to the new middle Playstation + Tier, because I'll be spending too much time uninstalling and installing games. If I want to spend 1 hour playing CoD: Cold War (I know I know, but it came with my bundle) I dont even attempt it because it simply takes way too long and way too much space.

I thought about getting an internal but dont want to break anything. So that is why I basically only play Elden Ring haha.

PlayStation is blazing fast compared to five years ago for me. I was listening to a Summer League podcast and got nostalgic for NBA 2K, so I downloaded a game I basically hate (NBA 2K22) at about 115GB in just under 20 minutes.

I have to worry more about going over my data cap re-downloading games that huge I’m almost certain I won’t play much of than how long they’ll take to install.

66. "Anyone cop GOD OF WAR or JEDI SURVIVOR?"

Replaying through MILES MORALES as I'm seeing the movie Tuesday afternoon, and wondered about those 2 games.

FINALLY beat GHOST OF TSUSHIMA back in August after starting that bitch on my brother's PS4. What an upgrade that was across the board.

I blasted through Ragnarok when it came out and just finished JS on Xbox. It was kinda short but there’s a ton of side shit to clean up.

How so? The sole game I played both on the PS4 and the PS5 was Control. The improved hardware on the PS5 fixed a ton of the stuttering and lag issues I got repeatedly on the PS4, enough to help carry me towards beating Control on the PS5 when I had no interest in beating it on the PS4.

Outside of some minor glitches when challenging groups of enemies in Ghost, I don't remember the PS4 faltering while playing that game. I remember liking it well enough when I played it on the PS4, but I didn't feel like revisiting it on the PS5. What differences did you come across on the PS5?

I can't remember any real technical issues on the PS4 Slim where I first played it. I'm visualizing the region with the bold red flower field that blew me away on the PS5 upgrade. I didn't own any version of PS until Spider-Man PS4 dropped, so I wasn't exactly a power user (still not).

Also, the haptics are really cool, both surface and context sensitive. The same stone causes different rumbles depending on your speed and whether you’re on foot or a horse. Different grasses cause different effects, too.

That being said, I’ve had this issue with both Sekiro, Jedi Fallen Order and Tsushima on PS5 - the trigger has less throw than on PS4, or more resistance, or both, and it makes the parrying feel far less responsive to me. If I’m being fully honest, actually kind of bad.

Great story, and the gameplay was an improvement over Fallen Order...

I don't like the fact that all the rewards seemed more cosmetic and i would love some customization to the effects of the outfits and weapon customizations in survivor.
