PS5 Nov 12th

Almost here. Haven't really looked into it but I see there are two versions
Digital Edition & Standard PS5
You need standard if you have PS4 discs you'd like to use


It says it's backward compatible and that you can play PS4 games


Just wondering if I'll be able to play BF1 online on the PS5?

Same here. I'll go for the digital edition when I do get one, but I'm hoping for confirmation on a couple of games being compatible first. Wreckfest and No Man's Sky.

Couple of weeks to go
Haven't pre-ordered so might not be able to get one straight away

Think you are a week early.

November 19th Release Day for PS5

Xbox Series X is released 10th November

Have my confirmed Day One order for the standard edition.

Just hope it arrives.

I don't have a pre-order

Me neither, for the first time ever, but to be honest I haven't been blown away by the launch titles this time round.

What games are you pondering on for launch? The new Horizon Zero Dawn will be good if it doesn't wander too far from the original. The premise and the gameplay were excellent first time round, even though the story was a little meh. More of the same would suit me. Can't think of anything else that's excited me since the announcement to be honest.

Only game I have on pro-order at the moment is the Lego Skywalker Saga, but that is not out till next year.
Will get Fortnite, as the grandson likes playing that, and probably Sackboy. Will get some other game/s nearer the time. Just waiting to see if any discounts or deals appear nearer release time.
Still have some PS4 games to finish, which I hope I am able to transfer over to the PS5, if not I will just have to leave the PS4 connected for the time being till I finish them and will finally get to remove the PS3, grandson still plays the Lego & Minecraft games on this.

Worth buying just to play Astro's Playroom, the DualSense 5 is a game changer.

All my PS4 games are digital anyway so they now just load off an external HDD and play just like they did on the PS4 (albeit with with improved frames rates etc.)

Still none in stock anywhere
