Nintendo switch question:
Son has already said he wants one of these things for christmas, and Ive noticed theres an OLED version out in October, available for pre order now. Is it the kind of thing I need to pre order, or will it be readily available off the shelf by mid November?

I thought it'd fly off the shelf, and it might, but preorders have been live for a couple of weeks now and you can still get one quite easily. Series X and PS5 preorders disappeared in hours. This suggests to me that it won't be too hard to get one, but ya never know!

I'd guess you'll be fine as it's only a tiny upgrade really so not hugely in demand.

Pre order it. Nintendo are renound for selling out of everything around launch time.

Already target of scalpers. Better to have peace of mind if you are definitely getting it or it is gift for kids.

Obviously everyone has suggested Spiderman Miles Morales and Ratchet and Clank. I'd recommend though replaying some older games. Most have really substantial upscaling in 4k or 60fps, and honestly it makes a huge difference. I replayed TLOU2 and playing it in 60fps made it feel like an entirely different experience. Felt great. Loads of games come with it too if you get PS plus - God of War, Uncharted 4 etc. God of War looks gorgeous in 4k. Control has a good substantial update, as does Ghost of Tsushima.

Other than that, if you're into extremely challenging games, Returnal is fantastic. Demon Soul's too. Next months there's a game called Kena Bridge of Spirits coming that looks gorgeous as well.

Kena Bridge of Spirits been pushed back another month.

I’ve just got a ps5. Can anyone recommend any decent games for me please. It came with Call of Duty but fancy something else.

Days gone is so much fun, proper scary being chased by a few hundred zombies.
