PS5

Did anyone on here get one and was it worth all the hassle?

My son used all his Christmas money and savings to buy a huge TV in preparation for a PS5 and we haven't had a sniff. 7 months we've been trying, it's doing my head in.

Hi mate

I managed to get one on launch day (pre-ordered on Amazon, of all places).

I must confess, I absolutely love it. I’m a bit of a PlayStation fan boy, so there was never too much doubt that I wouldn’t, but the controller, interface, and certain new games are brilliant.

As said above, the blessing is that there aren’t too many optimised / exclusive games for this gen just yet, so you can enjoy them on PS4. One thing I have loved, though, is the performance patches on PS4 games; it allows you to go back and replay your favourites from last Feb almost like they’re a new game.

In terms of where to get them…I think I’d just put in stock alerts on each of the big sites (Amazon, game, maybe a computer shop like curry’s) and hope for the best.

Good luck with it and I hope you find one soon!!

I thought one of the best features was the microphone built into the controller to be honest

It is good but as a lot of posters are saying there's no many PS5 exclusives and won't be for a while because most of the market still using old gen.

I will say if he plays anything like Warzone you're at a huge disadvantage on an older console now.

I do want the Mass Effect remaster though...

Along with a potential re-release of the FF13 trilogy, the FF7 remake part 2 and the next elder Scrolls game.

Thanks for the advice chaps. I've signed up for all the stock alerts. The way it's going he'll be lucky if he gets it this Christmas.

I used to spend all weekend gaming but I lost interest, haven't played a game in years. I can't stand football games or games that involve racing around. Resident Evil and Red Dead Redemption were my type of games, back in the day I loved Medal of Honour, I'm not mad on COD as I don't like having to control different characters. I love a game with a good sniper rifle.

Scratch that, I now probably won't get a ps5 as Microsoft make Bethesda games exclusives

Where from? Do you queue up or get a priority pass?

Got one. Went down to Game and put a deposit down it's coming on Friday. I had to pay for a sodding package deal, which cost me near £600, they're not selling just the console the robbing barstewards.
