Already finished and enjoyed it, this will definitively make it more fun for those who are yet to jump in but if you want action, stick to the EA Jedi games (can't believe I am saying that).
@MattBoothDev That is a great deal buddy, much better than the £825 I forked out!
Kudos to you for pointing out credit is not the way to go as it is too easy to fall into that trap, whilst I love my Pro it is most definitely not worth getting into debt for!
I really need to pick this up at some point as MGS is a gap in my gaming history (shame on me). I did try the 2nd which I think started out on an oil rig but I didn't know what was going and ended up stuck somewhere probably because I was trying to action my way through instead of stealth! So will start from the 1st and take it from there, decent price for 3 games too!
The guy is a bit of a legend (certainly amongst trophy hunters), seems a bit weird but hopefully he moves onto better things if that is how he has been treated!
Bit of a shame, the preview hype got my attention and I like the Marvel and Star Wars Lego games so thought this might just deliver. Wait for sale at best I'm afraid!
I will be mostly playing Alan Wake 2 which like other I have waiting until the Pro came out to play, it is really good and pretty spooky at time,s it's dripping in Twin Peaks cool!! Wanna try out some VR games on the Pro too and obviously some GT7.
It's a cool theme and I've kept it for my welcome screen. the OG Destiny 1 theme complete with original music is my all time favourite and still in place on my PS4 Pro! Very happy with my purchase, I hope they do a white Switch 2 to go next to it!
@Mikey856 I agree mate, the chip processor background looks really cool IMO, would still love proper wall papers though. I am really happy with mine! Sorry about the disc drive, for info I went into Curry's a while back which listed online they were out of stock but they had plenty in store, if you are near one pop in and ask, they told me they hold stock back for walk in's!
@Rich33 @JohntheRaptor I didn't get it sorted but I didn't try the restore method, I have just downloaded them from my library again on the Pro, didn't take long. Mine was an OG fattie too.
Got mine today been playing Alan Wake 2 since it looks and runs great. Going to check out GT7 shortly. I added the stand and disc drive no issue, was a bit nervous about the pulling the cover off to put the drive in 😬
Great news, great game which more people get to play, I have no issue with timed exclusives, much rather this than locked to one platform forever (not 1st party titles of course).
@JohntheRaptor Good point I haven't checked the firewalls, like you I have PS+ but it was so simple from PS4 to PS4 Pro and Pro to PS5! Shame because everything else is cool, Good luck buddy!
Got mine about an hour ago, much slicker machine for size & looks and you can feel the weight difference (not that you will be carrying it around🤣)just an all round better finish. Can't get my data to transfer though but no biggie, about to start up Alan Wake 2 for the first time, can't wait!!
@get2sammyb Thanks for the update, do you know if the Space Marine 2 is Pro optimised, can't find a reliable source seems but not yet? (it is one I have saved for the Pro experience!)
Such a shame, I knew the Pro wouldn't be scalped because of the price so I suppose they went for the next best thing - the disc drive, thankfully got mine as soon as it was announced but not fair on those that didn't
@LikelySatan Great shout, The Ascent is awesome and proper gritty I thought, think it is or was on PS+, I am hopeful the upcoming Neon Blood will be decent too!
@morrisseymuse Brilliant thank you very much for this reply, I am intrigued by the game so would like to give it a go and now I can but obviously that will have to be in arachnophobia mode 😂
@OldGamer999 I don't think I will get much sleep on Wednesday night at this rate 😂 it's great getting new hardware, hope my delivery is early Thursday morning & I wonder if the first boot up will be unique like the base PS5 was?
Shame those that get gifted a Pro for free also get a stand whilst we have to pay for one on top of the £700 (£800 with disc)! Can't wait though, don't wanna wish my life away but why can't it be Thursday already 😂
@Yagami Hi mate, I got my physical copy of Alan Wake 2 last week which I am itching to play but holding on for my Pro next week, Stellar Blade was the other game I was choosing between going first. Not played either and starting to get excited now - 7 days to go!!!
@Dimey Nice one buddy, that does make sense 👍 Probably would have been less controversial to announce it a month or so after it released on Xbox, your right, not sure why they announced it ahead of time!
@sanderson72 I am very envious, I lost my A1200, 500+ and the Amiga CD when I left home, never got over it I have to agree the Amiga version is my all time favourite!
@Danloaded I thought this, not heard anything negative really, I presume it was the Xboxers that were sour with it not being exclusive, I think in general PS users are happy it's coming and I am sure if it is half decent it will sell pretty well.
@torquex Yeah Silent Hill 2 is one for the back log. I'm looking forward to it but like you say £120 on 2 games is a bit of a stretch when we can only play one at a time, it can wait!
@KilloWertz I'm with you buddy, I didn't notice it last night but accept I must be in the minority or just lucky.
@Elitepatriot The EA Jedi games are fantastic and the second was even better than the first for me, I do prefer action to stealth but Outlaws is good fun if or when you get around to it.
@MikeOrator it really is the most frustrating part at least on Tatooine you could just point in the generally direction and get there with it being so flat but Akiva - nightmare! Having tried the patch I haven't noticed much difference but I am pretty OP now anyway and pretty much cleaning up the trophies before I finish it!!!
@torquex You are right mate, that is all included in the physical edition released yesterday, mine has arrived and I can't wait as I didn't pick it up digitally.
Definitely one of my GOTY no doubt, absolutely brilliant game, it is disappointing as it is a million times better than Far Cry 6 (I am a fan of Far Cry too - don't shoot me) but we will see Far Cry 7 and probably no Lost Crown follow up 🤦♂️
@Medic_alert Hi Buddy, I can't say for sure this would work but I had the same issue. On the off chance I just walked in store (Curry's UK) which had no stock online and they said they had a few, might be worth popping in and asking even if it is sold out online, not a penny over retail either (£99.99).
@wildcat_kickz Not sure if it is up your street or not but he was fantastic in Fringe, great easy watching sci fi show! He wasn't in it much but I first saw him in OZ what a series that was, all round great actor and person by all accounts.

Re: 'No Plans' for Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro Patch, CD Projekt Red Confirms

Re: Hypnotic PS5 Pro Boot Screen, Background Worth the Upgrade
