"The leaker says the Black Friday promotion will run from 12th November to 12th December"
You mean from the 22nd right?? 16th today and no sale is live....

@Bionic-Spencer I see what you did there. 👀😉

"you're right. It's not the same. The PS5 Pro will be obsolete in 3-5 years along with it's game library (most likely). My steam account will be good until the day I die....just a fact "

So you ran out out arguments and pulled out your inner PCfanboy? What you just said has nothing to do with the topic we discussed. And no, the Pro, and the OG PS5 for that matter wont be obsolete in that timeframe. My OG PS1 is still going strong and does exactly what it was intended to do and so is my PS2.

And my PS5 gamelibrary will work just fine on the PS6 for sure, so I don't see how you think you can have a point to begin with. ??
I still have access to ALL my games on my PS3 so Sony is actually taking really good care of my games (not to be forgotten: my PS4/PS5 games) But I lost 2 games on Steam since 1996ish... So that's that.

No but if you "benchmark" a PS5 / PS5 Pro with a systembench made for PC architecture you get "PC architecture"-results. It says nothing about all the functions in the PS5 chip on a system level.
I worked with this stuff for almost 2 decades, It's not the same in PS5/PC... Just a fact.

@8bitOG Yes ofc it is. But you can't compare 2 completely different system architecture with a single benchmark just like that. Sony modded their chips so hard they have no resemblance with their original originparts anymore.
so you sound completely out of touch. Google it. It's all "out there".

@8bitOG You can't "benchmark" a consolesystem (closed sytem) vs a PC system, when are you PC people going to understand that? Not even in the same ballpark.

The strongest console on earth gets 7/10. What a time to be alive.

Sony, put that label on a PS5 Pro version of Bloodborne and I will be a very happy man. 😉✌️

Just turned on my PS5 and the PS5 version of Horizon and the Artbook I preordered downloaded and installed itself. I'm ready to replay it in week!!!

No Bloodborne music? Instafail.

@VatoLoco47 That's probably because it was considered a "trial" of some sort if I remember correctly. But I can download Driveclub, Bikes, and all the DLC as I bought it about 10 years ago.
I have a few delisted PS3 games (digital) that I bought on sale that I can still download to my OG PS3. (A God Of War Collection and a few games like that) So Sony seem to take my digital library serious and that feels good.

For those who wonder, if you own the game and it gets "delisted" just means you can't buy it anymore. Driveclub is delisted and I can download it and play just fine on my PS5. Ofc, they stripped the online part of it, but that's because Polyphony couldn't be bothered to take over the server....

Don't believe I'm going to say this, but I hope this studio doesn't get to remake Bloodborne. I would LOVE a Bloodborne remaster/remake, but not with the Horizon glowup. That would ruin the game 100% for me. BB is meant to be dark, chromatic and nightmarish. Not superglowy like Horizon remaster.

@DirtSinceBirth I loved it, might been extra fun because I played it with my wife and her girliescreams at every jumpscare made the game 12/10 for me.

I just contacted PS Support to have them remove my preorder for this remake. I knew from the developers that it would be new stuff in the remake but not a new ending...
Now thanks to Push Square I will save my money and buy on a sale. I thought playing it day one would save me from spoilers but this site had to put it in the headline day before release. Big longfinger to you Push Square for this one!!

@Bobtheking If so, you havent set up your gear correctly.

@Tomato_Goose And if you own GT7 you just MUST try that out in PSVR2 too!! Just saying.

@Tomato_Goose If you already own the game on Playstation you have no excuse not to check PSVR2 out for free!! I think you'll love it!

@Tomato_Goose Yes I thought it was great with 1st PSVR2 patch, but a few months later they released a revamp of the entire PSVR2 ingameengine in a new patch (current version) and it looks so much better imo!!!
Edit: That said, I only played PSVR1 before so I can't compare it to any other VR-headset on the market.
Edit 2: And to answer your question, yes I pretty much only play the game on my PSVR2, have a few hundreds hours in it (since PSVR2 launched). So yes, I assume I think it's good in VR

Imagine how it has been a cutting edge graphics showcase from PS4 to the PS4 Pro /PSVR1-combo over to PS5 -PSVR2-combo and now the PS5 Pro/ PSVR2 combo.
They just improve that engine over and over following Sony's evolution of PS-consoles.
No Man's Sky universe is on another level imho. I love to lose myself into that world for hours at the time.

Bug or not, PSNetwork has been down for over 6 hours here in Sweden. Fix it Sony so I can do my daily races in GT7....You can add ads or whatnot some other day.

@amatmulisha @Eleventy8 Same here. Using my OG PS5 alot! Still completely quiet, unless you put the ear towards the console plate of course, then you hear a soft hum from the fan.

@EddieGallad Yeah, 700$ is nothing compared to swedish price for Pro 10.495 Swedish Crown that equals 1014$.
The 30th Anniversary Pro was 14.495 swedish crown ~ 1436$.
The pro is exactly double the price that I paid for my OG PS5 on releasedate here in Sweden. Now they upped the price on PS5 slim over the last months and they really increased the slimprice ALOT the day before Pro preorders started. Anything to make that Pro price see more reasonable huh Sony?!

@RiceC03 I guess they just do this to learn/experiment how to push Last Of Us Part III to the limit in the future. Or the other I.P they are working on.

@Ravix I follow threads all over europe atm just for fun. "Currently Unavailable" seem to be the current status overall.

@AndyKazama I hope you got one too!!

@Titntin Hopefully you'll already got one.

@Titntin Paypal and emails can take a while if their site(s) are overloaded. Don't the store have an "account" page with recent orders you made or somethng like that to check out if order went through?

@Titntin I hope you got one!!

Regular Pro sold out in about 5 minutes here in Sweden, Anniversary Bundles / items even faster.

I'll upgrade just to do the New Game Plus playthrough on native PS5... But soon Sony /Playstation MUST have done everything released after Bloodborne so it can finally be BB's turn to get a remaster/remake?? PrettypleasewithsugarontopSony!

@Chupa_loyzer If it ain't broke, why fix it?? I have never played the Batmangames so I have no idea about that, but Spiderman and Ghost Of Tsushima are 2 different worlds my friend. Or did I miss the spiderweb slinging in GoT? Damn, must replay it.
Edit: You didn't answer my question; Have you played it? Watching a YT video and feel the gameplay is 2 different things indeed.

@Chupa_loyzer Did you play the game? The swordfights and combat was really satisfying to be honest.

Day One. I totally understand that they did a spinoff now and holds Ghost Of Tsushima 2 for the PS6 reveal, because from what they said years ago, a sequel to GoT1 would be HUGE in scope.
So good call Sucker Punch. Now give us a more precise relesedate, because this got me hyped as heck!!

I can't vote in that poll. No *Haven't played it because I never heard off it - option in the poll...

With my luck it's probably a digital PS6 w/o drive and a PS6 "alldigital-streambox".
Would love a PSVita Pro though

@rusty82 Agree, plus a Motorstorm trilogy remake would be great.

@Max_the_German "The length and bloat of this game seem to be the real peoblems. People want to fight hordes after 13 hours in the game, not 30 hours."
If it took you 30 hours to fight a hoard, sorry, but if so, you truly sucked at this game. First hoard, minihoard is like 1-2 hours into the game.
Actually, it took me 43 hours to platinum the game, and I didn't spend last 13 hours only killing hordes...

@Acejas What are you talking about? It replaces old data with the same amount!

Weird, I just checked about 10 minutes ago before I turned off my PS5, nothing.
Like I had a sixthsense something was about to drop.

"even if it did launch the acclaimed Astro Bot less than two weeks ago."

90€ that I gladly paided for a great game. But after 15 hours and Platinum'd it, I reflected on the price per hour!! Even D4 was just slighty more expensive and I played that for 1900 hours and counting.... AstroBot might be 1000% better than D4, Assassin's Creed games, GT7 and so on, but I'll never buy a 15 hour game ever again for nearly 100€.
Hell, I downloaded the new PS5native- Path Of Exile client 2 days ago and has nearly 20 hours in it, for free!!!
AstroBot should have been priced as Helldivers 2, but this is GreedySony2024™ we are talking about...
Every move Sony makes lately always feels the same for me as a hardcore PSgamer; they just suck me dry on money with very little return. Bring on 1st party games like in the PS4 era: Driveclub, BLOODBORNE, Uncharted 4, God Of War 2018, Horizon, Killzone, Littlebig Planet (ok that's Astrobot this gen), The Order 1886, Until Dawn and so on and on and on.
Remasters, bah, we bought the PS5 mainly for NEW games, Hermen Hulst, get with the program!!

Yes more hardware!! Who need 1st partygames?! /s

@Buckster Last Of Us: The Remake Of The Remastered Remaster Part 1.

I still remember Jim Ryan : "We still believe in generations" just before the PS5 was released. That fooled me to buy one...99% so far of this "generation" is remakes,remasters, crossgen-games and an overload of hardware. (And this failed push for liveservicegames!)
But you can count Sony's 1st party PS5 (only!) games on one hand... And now more remasters and the overpriced Pro.
Sony has lost it's way with Playstation this "generation".

@AdamNovice As i wrote, I talked about part 1. Remake, nah, more of a remaster I'd say.
Edit: Last of us Part 1 would cost me 899 swedish krona (right now on PS Store). Thats 66.85£ or 88.31$.
I bought both PS3 day one and PS4 day one and now I need to pay full price again if I want it native on PS5. Never gonna happen. Don't support the greed when Sony don't support their most loyal customers like me.

Edit 2 I could actually upgrade PArt 2 for 105 swedish krona. About 10€... Why not the first?!

It will probably be like Last Of Us Part 1, no upgrade path, just shell out 70€ or more to play it again. Sony has become so so greedy this generation.

@LifeGirl Inflation is one thing, but the wages haven't been raised at the same rate, that is what's making the Pro's price so ridiculousy high. Plus the fact it's a recession going on, at least here in Europe.

24th seems right considering Pro preorders starts 26th.

Just installed the update but no Welcome Hub on my PS5.
Edit. Ah, just read comments above, guess it comes in the near future.
