Stock available on Argos right now i think.

Ta, I was looking at the time, the add to basket option is there but it errors when I tried.

I've pretty much stuck to the story and only done side quests if i need money to do something in the story. Story will explain itself as you get through it.

It's not the story that's confusing, its using the tech to hack and such. I'm not big on RPG's and the menus are a little unnerving!

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?

God of war is truly incredible. Playing Red Dead 2 at the moment which is also superb (I skipped the PS4 gen). Spider-Man miles morales is very good if a bit short. You can get it for a decent price on ebay

On a side note I finally managed to get the pulse 3D headphones. Really impressed. Nice big of kit. Just the dualsense charge port to go and I’m a full PS5 wanker

Get on lonely mountains downhill available on Xbox live, you won't regret it. Stunning single player game that has amazing physics and has both brilliant level and sound design.

Just setting it up now and it’s a beast of a device, so much bigger than the ps4. Probably going to start with GoW as it looks amazing and few people have recommended it.
In terms of peripherals, the pulse 3D headset is like 130 isn’t it? That seems steep, what is special about it?

The roll out of PS5 has involved calamitous planning.

Surely the only explanation of shortages is due to the unforeseen additional demand with people being in lockdown which has driven people to gaming and people have greater disposable income.

I am holding out for a disc version so I can play my PS4 games.

To be fair loads of gaming stuff went out of stock pre christmas. I built a PC back end of last year and things were going out of stock / prices were going up rapidly. Had to send a few bits back and ended up paying more to replace them as the original supplier was out of stock.

Its a combination of increased demand and the virus impact on shipping which is in a bit of a mess.

Worth it? I have some that ive used on the ps4 for a while that are decent enough, will these really add much more to the expereince do you think?
