Is there any kind of messenger chats that inform you when a certain retailer has some on sale? I’m always at work so always miss out

Also keep an eye out at your local GAME stores

The Independent run a PS5 stock update blog also, that's what helped me get mine.

Unless you've exhausted the PS4s library of games, and want to pick up Demons Souls and Ratchet, I wouldn't bother getting one until the end of February when Horizon is released.  There's nothing there to justify it at the moment.

 

I've still got a long list of games to get through though.  AC Valhalla, Spiderman, Jedi Fallen Order, RE8, etc. Having the upgrades and quicker load times is convenient but not an absolute must especially if you've played those.

 

Depends on your list of must play games.

No.  Just downloading this latest update though.

Let us know how it is, being reviewed really well but I've got to many "to do" list before starting something else.

Not yet. Looks fun. 
 

I’m fully into Demon’s Souls right now. Dying. All. The. Time. 
 

Actually having fun though and kind of following FightinCowboy’s walkthrough on YouTube just so I can (a) keep up and (b) have a clue what’s going on. 
 

I’ve got all weekend for Ghost of Tsushima lined up though… can’t wait

Nice one. I’ve not played either of them two but heard good things.

fantastic deal on the Samsung 980 pro 1tb ssd for £135 if any of you boys are looking to add the extra storage! I was about to buy it for £199!

I think you can get a pretty cheap heatsink for it as well

Yea I got the QIVYNSRY one from Amazon as well which was £17.99 as a lot of people seemed to recommend that… can probably pick 1 up cheaper but as it’s guaranteed to fit the Ps5 I just went with that

[HoustonFox]

For those still wondering about Deathloop, I enjoyed this review on YouTube (quite like this channel) 

 

 

[moore_94]

Just finished HZD Frozen Wilds DLC, pretty fun, certainly a lot harder at times than the actual main game but it can be quite annoying when there is a massive snowstorm as you can't see anything!

 

Seemed to be the Daemon Scorchers that I had the most trouble with, dealt with the Daemon Thunderjaw pretty easily, took a while to take down the Fireclaw at the end of the Main Quest, now to get rid of the other 5 around the land

 

Really glad I got into this again and finished the main game and the DLC, really looking forward to Forbidden West now

[moore_94]

I was so close to buying Kena digital edition, but more than happy to wait until November for the physical edition now (can also see how it reviews first)

A little pricey.  I got mine at the same price with Demon Souls included.

 

John Lewis are expecting online stock between 5 and 7 October according to a report today.

Finally managed to order a PS5 this morning, can't believe how hard they still are to get.

Pretty disappointing...

So, the leak I read earlier this week was correct!  

 

Including MKX is a bizarre one, considering we now have XI, which I have.  Problem I find with these games is (a) the story is too short (b) on multiplayer people constantly choose the same guy, namely The Joker in XI, and spam the same move over and over and over again.

 

Looking forward to 2k21 though, been a while since I had a golf game.  We're talking of when Tiger Woods was in the name of the game here

Anyone upgrade their internal storage yet?

I’ve been looking at it but with a fast internet and trying to play only 1-2 games at a time, I’ve felt the need yet. 

 

I did all my previous gen to 2TB and never got near filling and if I did, they just sat there.  I would improve speed of HDD though when i did previously.

Jedi Fallen Order on PS5 currently £19.99 on amazon so have gone for that.  Should tie me over now until February and Horizon which I will happily pay top money for.  Need to finish AC Valhalla first though and at 85 hours still have some way to go

Yes I opted for the 1TB Samsung 980 pro with the QIVYNSRY heat sink.. posted a link above to Amazon which had a deal on for the 980 pro reducing it from £199 to £135! So easy to do and it works a dream

[Legend_in_blue]

Gave Jedi Fallen Order a go.  Pretty decent game so far, liking the atmosphere and general gameplay.  No doubt I will scour every level for every item/collectable eventually as well.  Some of the animations are a little too disjointed but overall it plays well.
