Even before digital I rarely re-sold as I like to go back to games. And the amounts you get anyway are so crap, you're effectively paying a lot to "rent" a game if you're selling it.

Really hope this is a good headset given how much Sony has talked about 3D audio. Looking forward to receiving mine.Just bagged a Pulse 3D Headset from Amazon too

I would hope so too, I want to see how 3D audio would work when swinging through New York

Watchdogs is the reason I'll never go all digital until I'm forced to.
I had seen the reveal at E3 2013 and was like "Yep! I'm getting a next gen console at launch!" I wasn't on gaming forums at the time and didn't do enough research. I remember popping the game in, booting it up and having the distinct feeling for the first time in my life, that I had been robbed. I put that bitch on ebay within a week and got 90% of the initial purchase price.
That shit still haunts me to this day lol

I’m seeing a lot of people online raging at retailers, blaming them for missing out. The reality however is there isn’t enough stock for everyone at this moment, but if you were alert enough you should have been one of the ones able to get a console! I personally could have had 15 PS5s or more myself.
Very few retailers advertized the exact time they would go live to avoid bots. People thinking retailers giving the exact time and date would have helped them secure one have no real idea of what they would be up against.

I am a freak when it comes to researching every game I want right down the most minute detail, so hopefully I don't suffer the same fate!

Watch Dogs looked good, as long as it was night time and raining.
Yes, I'm a filthy Watch Dogs 1 fan.

Still couldn't secure a PS5 myself from JL so will leave it until the new year and get one in-store. Might pick-up a XSS+3 months of GPU if (when) I get cabin fever.
Currently playing Nathan Drake collection and GT:S but that isn't going to last me until next year.
Did any of you guys manage to pre-order a PS5 from JL today?

Thanks man. All digital too. Looking forward to getting scammed on storage in the future!
Yeah, she's alright that one. Haha!
Games wise, I'm a bit undecided probably looking at Spider-Man, Demon's Souls and Destruction All-Stars. Might grab Godfall but I'm not convinced by what I've seen thus far.
Need to get myself that Pulse Headset whilst I remember.
I'm holding off on the Pulse 3D till I hear reviews, I have the Platinum headset already and it should work well on PS5.
Also the build quality of the Pulse looks cheap and it isn't foldable (Or is it?)

Just buy a 3-4 TB HDD and swap games in and out the PS5 as you play!

If I was going physical The Game Collection or ShopTo, always fast, cheap and reliable. ShopTo always come a day or 2 early for me!
And digital I would go for ShopTo as they offer cheap PSN Top Ups.
Smyths are a great shout for physical too.

Yeah but I need those sweet, sweet SSD speeds! No point going next gen to suffer with load times.
What about yourself? Any games you're looking to get come launch?

I usually use the game collection. Shopto doesn't seem to have games listen yet, just says register interest.

Oh no I don't mean as in use that for PS5 games, as you can't. I mean as in downloading games onto the HDD then transferring them to the PS5 internal drive when you wanna play!
And I am personally going to buy 5 games, Cyberpunk, Miles Morales UE, FIFA 21 (a sucker for footy I am) and maybe AC Valhalla and WD Legion if reviews are good.
Would go for Demon Souls but I don't want to break my controller on launch day aha!

Yeah I had no choice actually because here the place I pre-ordered forces you to buy 3 accessories but I was going to a second DS and the charging station anyway but wasn’t 100% sold on the Pulse 3D but had no choice and hopefully i’ll be surprised.

Their games will likely go up next week as that is when they are announcing who's interest on consoles has become preorders.
SimplyGames are decent too.

I suspect hands on videos will come soon regarding it so if the reception isn't glowing I can always cancel mine.
I think it will be decent though.

Can't believe you'd punish yourself with FIFA. WD Legion I'm getting with my 3080, and Cyberpunk is one for the PC too.
Hadn't even considered AC.
No love for the potential 70 quid waste of time that is Destruction All-Stars?

And Destruction All Stars looks fun, but for £70 I can see it being dead on arrival, £45-50 would have done the game better, actually seeing some decent length gameplay too!

Managed to log into Currys at exactly 12 and get allocated queue number 5012 lol. Eventually it dwindled down to 87 and I got my digital version on pre-order for £5 deposit. Thanks guys.
My friend is still looking for a disc version, so I'll keep an eye on this thread for the next batch.

We’ll see what GameStop can do we hope to get our pre orders

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
This still says available to pre order.
Sell the game and the controller if you don’t need it.

Been waiting more than a week for Shopto to finally confirm preorders (was in and out of there with a disk PS5 preorder within the first couple minutes of preorders starting). Bit nervous, probably shouldn’t have just banked on them for a launch system and missed out on all these other restocks lol. Will have to keep my eyes locked on this thread in case there’s any other restocks soon

Which one of the three pre-orders do you guys reckon will have the biggest chance of arriving in one piece on launch day?
I have ordered one from Amazon UK, one from GAME UK with Royal Mail Tracked 24, and one with Smyths for delivery.
Smyths use Hermes, DHL and Yodel as far as I am aware, which one from your experiences would you recommend?
DISCLAIMER: The other two preorders I will give to random people (the slots that is), free of charge obviously.

You’ll get all 3 on release.
In terms of who I would trust the most it would be Amazon

I deal with couriers all the time as part of my job. DHL are by far, BY FAR, the best of those you mentioned. Never had any issues with them and I send loads of packages with them daily. Their network is lightyears ahead of Yodel and Hermes.
