The old cable might work and then again it might not. It’s cheap enough to just get a new one and not have to worry about it.

It's even cheaper to NOT get a new one until it's confirmed their current one definitely does not work. Besides, won't the PS5 come with one packed-in? Certainly that one will be PS5 ready.

So if I somehow did not get informed about pre-orders even if I registered weeks ago, am I hosed? I don't desperately need one on release day but I'd like one soon after and definitely before Christmas.

Probably not, there's a month and a half left until release and Sony is not going to drop the ball to the point that there will be zero more preorder opportunities between now and then.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
im confused with all these hdmi cables. figured my set now would work just fine but maybe not. remember when we just had scarts that were better than the 3 coloured wires, which were better than the RF cable. :corsair:

It was a different team from the Switch port and seems to be totally different in terms of look. The port has loads of issues on PS4/Xbox

The PC version is also complete trash. On PC, there is no reason to play it over the original release.

How does one tell if the HDMi cable they are using isnt good enough? Will there be artiricats or some diagnostic I can check? I have a new LG CX and want to get full use out of it.

The PS5 won't output the signal that you want. It'll still do 1080p or 2160p or whatever

HDMI is digital so when it fails there's no mistaking it. At first you might get weird coloured pixels or whole lines in the image, then dropped frames, and then it just plain won't work, no picture at all. EDIT: badly worded, it's not "at first", it's either of the 3 options, things won't progressively get worse.

When it doesn't work, and if you don't already have another HDMI cable lying around, just set your source to a lower bandwidth output (1080p for example) until you grab a better cable.

You can configure your PS5 or your Blu-ray player or whatever it is. The safe mode of the PS4 (and I assume all other consoles) outputs at 480p; if you get no picture boot into that then set it to 720p or 1080p.

I tell you what, the TCL TV's are the best for the price that I've seen. I got a 55" two years ago now and it ran me about 500$. It's a Roku smart TV so I don't know if that's a deal breaker for you, but it's a decent 4K TV. I did just double check and it doesn't have HDMI 2.1 ports, but I honestly don't even know what the benefits of those are vs normal HDMI ports. Either way, it looks real good when I play my PS4Pro on it and I've had no issues.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't end up on the PSN store within a year.

But yeah, locking it behind the deluxe edition of Miles Morales is kind of lovely. OTOH, I was planning on buying both anyway, so w/e.

From the article:

"In addition, players who purchase Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 4 can upgrade* at no additional cost to the PS5 version of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and can take advantage of a paid-upgrade to download Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered."

So if you buy the PS4 version of Miles Morales, you do get the free update to the PS5 version, and then can essentially buy the Remastered version of Spider-Man as DLC.

I still remember back to the PS3 to PS4 transition and back then too they just had to make it complicated and inconsistent. I guess it's just the rules.

I think I’m gonna just get all the accessories at launch and a second controller in the hopes that I end up like all the goons who’s bought in at PS4 launch and are still rolling with their launch model on their first controller.

Something about seeing that low battery warning and just swapping paddles seems really luxurious to me, an adult with very specific values.

The funny thing is that the low bat warning comes up and you still have like 90-120 mins of use left. I just keep using it until it dies, and then it dies right in the middle of a good run on a bloodsouls boss or something :lol:

And then I plug it in and use my charged spare. The extra controller bundle at PS4 launch was worth it.
