Got up at 1:30am this morning as stock dropped at Argos for PS5's. After 2 hours of pissing about, finally managed to get one and arrives today between 2-6pm. Any recommendations on first games? Is Cyberpunk worth it yet? Or better waiting for all the bugs to be ironed out? Was thinking of GOW as i havent played that on ps4, but thats just a remastered version isnt it?

How did you find out about a 1.30am stock drop?
I downloaded discord on my phone and joined a ps5 Stock Uk group. Gives updates on when the retailers are releasing stock. Would never of known without it. Crazy how many people were up at that time all over the UK trying to get them.How did you find out about a 1.30am stock drop?

Apparently Scalpers managed to acquire a great number of them in the Argos drop yesterday. Decided I’m just going to wait until end of the year before I buy one. I don’t particularly fancy waiting in an online queue for hours without guarantee of getting one.
The Argos one was defo the most accessible drop yet imo. Most other sites have just crashed and sold out in minutes cause of the scalpers, where it seems a lot of genuine people got them last night. It is a total pain in the ass though and pooor from the retailers.Apparently Scalpers managed to acquire a great number of them in the Argos drop yesterday.

Cyberpunk isn’t worth buying yet on console. Wait until the end of this year when they have a true next gen update for it. Most of the issues will probably be fixed by then as well.
Worth taking a look at Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Spider-Man: Remastered.

Browsed eBay at PS5 prices and the scalpers are selling unused, unopened for an average of £750.
Not sure if its ethical to do so, but there's a lot of call for eBay to suspend all PS5 sales on their platform and for similar sites to do the same and for future sales to be by personal confirmation/authorisation only and all sales/purchases to be tracked. Not sure it it will help the situation but something needs to be addressed.

Shops need to limit the stock to 1 ( maybe 2 ) per order and lock down on the payment method so you cant just loop around and buy another with the same payment card.
Problem is the shops dont care until some legislation is put in like there was for ticket scalpers, to the shop its just a sale so why would they spend cash they dont need too.
Hopefully 1 online store will start it off and other will follow. only reason I can see anyone doing it though is good will of buyers and hope they will come back to the shop to buy the games.

Did anyone play Resident Evil 8 demo?
I love Resident Evil as the series but never bought 7 (as it was First Person, I thought it would be rubbish)
The demo is really cool though and I may have to purchase the full game when it's out.

I'm currently playing 7 now and it's absolutely incredible. It's so tense and genuinely terrifying. It's on Gamepass if you have it and would definitely recommend. Don't let the first person aspect put you off.
