Got mine this morning (friday) delivered by Yodel on behalf of Game. After all the stress of actually getting a PS5 im really enjoying it so far. The menus took a little time to get used to. I think the UI will change as time goes on, as i can find a way to personalise anything. Playing Astrobot at the moment. Really good fun for what it is. No issues at the moment.
Well, my tracking for yodel has actually updated. My parcel is in transit it says and will be delivered tomorrow...mmmmm My fingers are crossed, but i will not hold my breath.
Im not to upset at the possible delay of a day, but the fact i paid for royal mail 24 and got a free yodel deal without being informed or refunded does upset me. Is this legal? Surely a refund should be provided. Game and Game alone are responsible for this, and Yodel (despite their reputation) shouldn't be the ones getting the stick.
Mine not yet updated. This is great news for me. The only thing that the xbox was better for in my opinion is their achievement system. It shows your progress all the time. I hated the long long wait between levels on PS. Ive been level 14 for about 3 years!!!! Im not a completionist, but i do like to get trophies. So, YES.
@get2sammyb I agree, BioWare could well step in to this void. They need to brush up their reputation a bit, and here is an opportunity to do a massive new WRPG IP.
This is why I have decided to get a series X as well as a PS5. Playstation has no good RPG developers in my opinion and that is my favourite genre. Playstation will still be my main console because I still love their exclusives like God of War and Uncharted (not true RPG's in my opinion), but I couldn't bear the thought of missing out on Starfield, which I think will be incredible, and The Elder Scrolls, although still a long way off, is my favourite IP. I hope one of Sony's studios try to make a true fantasy RPG to compete with the Elder Scrolls.
This will not stop me getting a ps5. However, this does increase my chances of me getting the xbox x (definitely not the s) as a second console in the distant future. Starfield and the elder scrolls games are still at least a couple of years away, so no need to get the xbox yet. The other involved games do not interest me anyway, and Bethesda have done nothing to please gamers for ages (remember fallout 76 and all those games with microtransactios). Sony have loads of games due out next year to keep me entertained until Bethesda release something interesting. From a business point of view though this is a great move by microsoft, the best thing they have done for their players for years.
Got 1 from Amazon and 1 from Game. Both Disc version. Also got a headset and extra controller. Will get charger later, but wont bother with remote and camera.
Whats its putting like? The thing that spoilt The Golf Club for me was the putting. The speeds of the green were ridiculous. It was like putting on glass.
Interesting to see the amount of you who has TLOU 2 as one of their favourites. How come all over You Tube it got such hate, it was almost ridiculous. Im of the suspicion that they only played to that infamous death scene and then packed up.
1st is TLOU2. I cant understand the hate for this game, graphics were superb, gameplay was good, and the story was great. 2nd is Ghost of Tsushima. Only about 15 hrs in, but graphically its beautiful, gameplay is original and entertaining, the story...not finished it yet, but its ok so far. 3rd is FFV11 remake, just good fun to play.
The one thing i prefer xbox for over ps is their achievement system. Your Gamerscore is constantly advancing making you feel like you are making progress. The ps's trophy system makes you go up in levels that get harder and harder to progress. I am currently at level 14, and it is taking ages to go up, taking away that feeling of progression (until you actually do level up). When i do level up to 15, i will probably be dead before i can level up to 16.
I hate this. Last time when i pre ordered the ps4 on Amazon, it accepted my order, then a couple of weeks later said there was not enough stock. But i was lucky because then a mega pack became available, so i ordered that. I dont want to go through that again, but i fear there will not be anywhere near enough stock this time either. Now i find myself waiting for the orders to go live when in all possibility it wont happen today anyway. Sometimes i wonder why im a gamer.
I think some people may like it. A little OTT for me. But i think the possibilities are endless and i expect there to be multiple special editions through the PS 5' s lifespan, and even more self attachable panel options.
I prefer the longer types of games myself. Red Dead, Skyrim, Assassins Creed, GTA, those are some of my favourite games. Games you can lose yourself in without actually playing the main story.
Im super hyped for this. The only concern i have is that the battle system still reminds me of the assassins Creed series where its only to easy to block then counter. It also seems that when there are a few enemies, only one seems to attack at a time (again very like Assassins Creed). If my concerns are incorrect, this could end up as one of best games potentially.
A while ago i was super hyped for this, but now, not so much. All the delays have had the effect of me losing track of it and The Ghost of Tsushima has gained my hype for now.
I love the look of it standing up, but my home entertainment system means I will have to lay it down (unless I can persuade the missus to let me get a different one).
Looks fantastic to me. Modern and shapely. I love the blue lighting. I found nearly all pervious consoles to look dull and boring, but not this. Day one for me (I I can get one).

Re: Some PS5 Users Are Inserting Their Discs the Wrong Way Round
Knowing my luck if i was to insert the disc upside down, it would jam up the whole thing.

Re: GAME Warns UK PS5 Pre-Orders May Not Arrive on Time
@Anubis989
All we can do is wait, as it seems impossible to get in touch with either Game or Yodel. Lets hope we get it tomorrow at latest.
Re: GAME Warns UK PS5 Pre-Orders May Not Arrive on Time
All ive got is the tracking number for Yodel, but when i use it , it shows they have not got the package yet. Damn you Game.
Re: Round Up: PS5 Launch in Europe - All Our PlayStation 5 Coverage
Probably wont be getting mine till tomorrow. Ordered through Game, and although i paid for Royal Mail24, they have sent it via Yodel. Damn it.

Re: How Closely Were You Watching the PS5 Teardown Video?
Yeah, 10/10. I had to guess the last one though. At last a decent score, i only usually get about 4/10 in these quizzes.

@stu123

Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
Currys pre orders are up, but probably not for long.

Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
Yep, all gone on amazon uk, just waiting for the accessories.
Good luck everybody who has not been lucky so far. I wish you well.
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
I got a mail from amazon this morning saying that the accessories will go live one by one through the day.
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5

Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
Argos start their preorders on Friday in the UK.
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
@Old-Red
I agree, poor service. I was lucky, i got the confirmation mail from Game. I prefer Amazon anyway.
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
No, Game charge you on dispatch, same as Amazon.
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
Ordered mine on Amazon this morning, also ordered one on Game last night. Hopefully at least one will go ok.

Re: Can You Name These PS2 Games?
6 for me. Pretty poor.

Re: How Well Do You Know Sony's First-Party Studios?

Re: PS5 Production Reportedly Being Doubled to Meet Demand
I still think there will be a shortage of ps5's at launch. Ihope you get a chance of getting different models, eg colours, mega packs etc.

Re: Can You Name These PS4 Games from Their PlayStation Store Descriptions?
4/15 Awful, and 3 of those were complete guesses. The only one i was certain of was he Far Cry game. Never heard of most of the rest.
Re: Open World Action RPG Genshin Impact Gets Closed Beta Test on PS4 Next Month
This game look interesting. Shame its only at Beta though, so it must still be some way off. I hope they are doing a PS5 version.

Re: PS5 Fans Dream of an All Black Console with These Mock-Ups
I love the white. Black is boring to me as all the consoles ive ever had was black, except the x360. That's just me though.

Re: How Well Do You Know Final Fantasy VII?
14 for me. Im happy with that, as I did not play the original. I must have my lucky guess head on today. Must do the lottery.
Re: Can You Name These PS1 Games?
Only 3 for me, and they were luck. I didn't have a ps1, my first ps was ps2.
