@Kidfried And even then people had to go in with their expectations in check, knowing the Switch version wouldn't look as good given the disparity in power and performance between it and Sony and Microsoft's consoles.
Even then, as a handheld version of a game known for being fairly intensive graphically and visually, DOOM 2016 actually isn't that bad of a port. In fact after all the patches and updates I heard it became really well balanced as a conversion next to the PS4/Xbox One versions.
I still think cross-gen releases are a good way to give the people on last gen systems a taste of what they can experience if they upgrade, while not compromising in any way to make them feel like they're getting a lesser experience, just a toned down one.
I got really lucky pre-ordering my PS5. Found out through Wario64 that Gamestop was taking preorders, so I went on break during training class and was able to snag one w/disc drive. Paid it completely off earlier today. Also put the money down for an additional controller, which I'll get paid off next week. Then I'm planning on stocking up two years of PS Plus and $250 and buying my initial games from that fund.

@Arugula
Yes it still going to be a nice upgrade from my OG PS4 haha
I think the good news is SSD upgrades will become more affordable and some nice options to choose from as time goes.

@Arugula Some of the sites that I'm monitoring for pre-orders have it listed as 1TB. That could be an error, but the 825gb might be what is usually after the OS and everything.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@Arugula Nope, same here, out of stock everywhere. And I've been trying since straight after the showcase.
Kind of a no win situation with pre-orders at the mo. If you set a time and date in advance you play into the hands of scalpers, if you don't you get criticised for not giving everyone a fair warning.
It's annoying some strange people pay these (swear word) scalpers prices. It's a shame there isn't some scheme where they only sell launch consoles to proper fans. Plus I think all retailers should have been forced to restrict sales to one per person. I think a lot do but I think some didn't.
@BearsEatBeets Scalpers then buy from different outlets.
More sites should use those Captcha things for signing in.
Ebay could help by restricting the prices of new or soon to be released items, as its happening with the latest Nvidia graphics which are on Ebay for £8000 a pop. And bids have been accepted for that. Its gonna be the same when the xboxes too unless something changes by next week.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah as annoying as those 'click on all the traffic lights' can be, if it eliminated scalpers using bots it would be worth it. If you're buying a pre-order from Ebay surely you wouldn't get it until a couple of days after release as well due to the seller having to repost it after receiving it.
With how much some people are paying, they should have just opted for pre-ordering the 24 carrot gold PS5. Then they’ve have something to show for all the extra money.
