@get2sammyb Something else to add to the list of items Sony need to address. HDMI bandwidth capped at 32Gbps at 120.

@themightyant The game time recently played I've got some games listed twice showing different playtimes. My top is RDR2 at
731 hours only shown once.

@BalsBigBrother still says in stock when I looked 1 min ago, not anymore though sry

I ordered on Game and selected DPD pre 12, then it changed to say Royal Mail Free, but then changed again and its being delivered by DHL but least not Yodel and it is out for Delivery.

Isn't that his answer to everything though?

@Mega-Gazz Yea me to I enjoy those Play Watch Listen, think the last one she was late because she was doing the interview for this new job.

@B-I-G-DEVIL Yea and almost impossible to get hold of them.

@B-I-G-DEVIL Same issue with with mine was DPD pre 12 and now says Free Royal Mail 1st but with the DPD pre 12 price.

Hope they make the controls for the Mako better.

I think its important because think how many have saved up on games like GOT and TLOU2 for the ps5, also having those big hitter games available on ps5 will help sell consoles. Guy I work with, having those games that he's never played available on PS5 was the deciding factor in buying a ps5.

Anything that adds value for us is a good thing, even if some don't ever use it.

@Zeke68 that's completely different to this, this is a local hardware transfering data on the same system board, not transfering data over the internet where there are lots of variables that out of the systems control.

@Zeke68 likely event of any data corruption is very very slim and unlikely to ever happen these days, if it were old standard non ssd then maybe then it would be a slight risk due to its moving parts that increase the risk of R/W error.

While it's nice to have feature this will not impact your ps5 in game experience so no problem.

@SAR97 quick resume works for physical disk games as well, removing
the disk has no impact on the saved state. The game does not have to boot again either. As mentioned above it still holds the state when the powered down, think of it as hibernate from Windows for a console.

It's a really useful feature:

I could be mid game and then dinner is ready, or I need to go out, or my fav TV show is starting, or the football or sports game is starting, or need to take call, or work emergency, or I want to
take a break and I could then turn off console go do what I need and go back and carry on an hour later or a month later when I choose with out needing to re start at check piont or save.

I would not so no to have this feature on my ps.

VRR may not be enabled either https://youtu.be/BTh3KQNQoeE

But should also state that in the DF video in those games where Series X FPS dropped slightly it was running a higher resolution or native resolution to the PS5 version was able to run at.

@Morzy I pre-ordered as a guest because couldn't log in at the time but game have since linked that to my account and the preorder shows on my game account now. Must have used email to and address to match them up.

20% so is that 655 GB of usable storage?

@Woogy was not refering to the av receiver bug with Panasonic hdmi chips. Was referring to bugs and issues some of the TVs have had like the gamma issue when using vrr with LG c9 and cx tvs which they confirmed is the panel it self, then the Sony xh90 has had to make comprises when running at 120hz signals.

Going to wait until I see some tests done with a PS5 before decide if I'll get a new TV or wait another year for 2021 TV's. Seems all the current TV's have some kind of hdmi 2.1 bug or issue.

Impressed by the Series X box and its packaging, well thought through etc, much better than the PS5's

@TurboTom yea df did a video with some interesting results. Point was that the results showed with series X you can store and play backward compat games off a usb ssd with same load times as if they were on the internal ssd, meaning you don't have to ever copy them to to internal leaving that free for the games designed to use the velocity architecture. If you can do this with ps5 that would be nice.

@TurboTom I hope the PS5 will be able to do what the series X is able to do where it can load backward compatible games from and external SSD at almost identical speed to the internal SSD. This leaves the full internal SSD free for games built to make full use of new features.

@lacerz one of the people that reported on the heat as gone on to clarify that his comments were taken out of context.

"People are using something I said on the podcast, clipped and out of context, where I said it was enough heat to warm up a room... except I go on to say that's like a high-end PC, Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, etc. Electronics make rooms warm unless you have AC."

@jiricek9 Looks like they had 2 different boards so they could show you a picture of the clean chip with out the liquid metal thermal cooling on it. Later on when the cooling is back on the chip the battery is back.

The series X heat reports though seem to have been blown out of proportion and taken out of context, if there were an issue with the amount of units out there I would expect there to be 100's of reports which there are not. Also with the amount of airflow (70% more air flow than One X) and with power of these consoles I'd expect it to be venting hot air like a PC.

One of of the 2 people that mentioned the heat went on to post this later

"People are using something I said on the podcast, clipped and out of context, where I said it was enough heat to warm up a room... except I go on to say that's like a high-end PC, Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, etc. Electronics make rooms warm unless you have AC."

@themightyant looks like it will take different sizes as the bay has 4 NVMe mounting holes for 80, 60 and 42mm length SSD's couldn't make out the number for the shortest one but guessing that for a 30mm length NVMe.

@Ha1frican that was at 2:46 in video showing the expansion bay for the SSD.

Don't think I'll ever get to NG+, been stuck on it just after finishing act 1.

Should give Last of us 2 an award for their accessibility features.

Amazon UK did say this in the email they sent with the info about when the pre-orders would start.

"We will make every effort to deliver all pre-orders as soon as possible once the PS5 is released. If you pre-order, we will email you with an estimated delivery date, however this may be subject to change.

We look forward to seeing you again soon at Amazon.co.uk."

The Microsoft Seagate cards will cost $220 or £160 for 1TB.

Samsung just recently announced the 980 which is £220 maybe a candidate for PS5
Capacity: 1TB.
NAND Flash Memory: Samsung 12-layer V-NAND 3bit MLC.
DRAM Cache Memory: 1GB LPDDR4.
Read Speed: 7000MB/s.
Write Speed: 5000MB/s.

MS Store still showing the X is available pre-order, for the UK.

Game did have mistakes, they had a Series X with turtle beech headset listed at the same price as a Series S for £319

Hope it is as it's the game I want most.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but did anyone else think the bit from the trailer with the elephant type machine was very similar to the Oliphant's from return of the king.

@get2sammyb have you seen the horrible situation with Argos, Very and John Lewis where with Argos people didn't receive confirmation email and the in chat with Argos support they told people if you didn't get confirmation with in 2 hours it didn't got through. Then very and John Lewis have been canceling orders, seems they maybe allowed to many to go through.

£69 for demon souls is nuts considering it's a remastered game, I don't think any remastered game should be full price.

Will carry on with either waiting for the physical games to drop in price, get them in a sales on PSN store using top up credit purchased at discount to save more.

@Old-Red same mine was as guest to and I didn't think mine had gone through but I got a confirmation from game this afternoon that it was successful, only took them a day an half.

FYI - Amazon UK email did say to keep checking they may release more

"If you have trouble placing an order while the stock is available, or if we have sold out, we encourage you to keep checking back during the pre-order period as we may release additional stock.

We will make every effort to deliver all pre-orders as soon as possible once the PS5 is released. If you pre-order, we will email you with an estimated delivery date, however this may be subject to change"

To me MS consistently handled this new gen better from the start, from amount of information released to the way its handled the pre-order process, no confusion about it.

Argos UK preorders start on Friday, no exact time yet.

Amazon UK Preorders start 9AM, said demand is high stock is limited, but keep checking through day as they release more stock through the day.

On Game looks like the digital one is not available, and also some bundles as the accessories are not available.

Std edition is fine.

@zupertramp Think it more meant that if you had game-pass already you now getting the EA games at no extra cost so from that point of view it is free, but yes you still paying for it in reality.

will all that gold have any impact on the haptic feedback?

Doesn't look like the UK will get a November launch anymore, the UK ps5 site has changed from Holiday 2020 to Late 2020.

@Aaron101 Basically just what in the UK you call chips, but softer and often coated in something, its a south African thing. If you got chips from a fish and chip shop and put vinegar on them that made them soft that be a slap chip.

If not included probably because of the same reason MS didn't put one on the Series X, they can see how many people actually use it and because it was so low saw it as a way to cut costs or better spend it on something that would benefit more people?

Yamaha just announced 2 amps that support all the new gaming HDMI 2.1 features, RX4VA and RX6VA

@Aaron101 no those are Fries or Slap Chips

The most important thing here is they have correctly named it a Chip picker for picking up "Potato Chips" and not crisps

He got nice kit from MS the other day for flight simulator with all the the joysticks and pedals.
