Is the easiest way to track when the PS5 goes in stock somewhere still just by following Wario64? I feel bad for a friend, we've been tracking PS5 news and updates together since forever and I was after the disc version, so I managed to snag one, but not a digital one. I got 2 disc ones because I figured, "if he can't get a digital, disc would be the best bet" but he super doesn't want the disc one seeing as we game share, he's probably never put a disc in his PS4, and that $100 he saves could be used on one of the few games we both wanna get. But now I'm just sitting on a spare PS5 for a few weeks for a worst case scenario where we can't secure a digital.

But yeah, is the best way to just follow Wario64 and hope for a random restock somewhere? The timed Walmart release was a shitshow all around.

Pretty much. I think physical is a done deal until after the holidays because "Massive Covid outbreak at Target due to PS5 superbrawl" is a headline no one wants.

Also hard to feel sorry for your bud that's like "UGH, I wanted the *red* Ferrari with the CHARCOAL interior ugh what trash ugh"

Yeah, honestly, if any other site other than Walmart had stock and released them, I probably would've managed to get one. I feel like announcing the exact time (times even) made it super easy for bots to just set the URL up and go to work right when the clock ticked over to 12, 3, 6, and 9.

The original version didn't have a cap because it never would get over 30 in the first place. They were able to fix it somewhat before releasing it in US but capped it at 30 so it still wouldn't be all over the place. If course on PS5 it can easily run 60 if it isn't capped

I've been checking nowinstock.net and signed up for their Telegram app channel, I got a pretty on-time notification the last time Sony Direct went up but wasn't super engaged at the moment so didn't manage to get one. There is also a chat down towards the bottom of their ps5 listing page that has its fair share of trolls and shitposters but also a lot of people genuinely sharing anecdotal evidence of where stock might be. The general mood seems to be that it's very unlikely anything will pop up before Black Friday. Popfindr has stock counts that have been reported as somewhat accurate by some in this thread, I'm showing 0 at all stores in my area atm.

That being said if your friend really doesn't want that extra disc one I live in VA and would be very willing to trek to you for it or pay for whatever shipping might be. But super understand if you want to give your friend time to think on it or just plain not sell it, not trying to put any pressure just working off desperation at this point lol.

Good luck to all who are still hunting!

Hey so it turns out if you have a friend with PS4 and PS+, you can log onto their account on your PS5 and claim all of the games from the PS+ Collection, which they can then play on their PS4. I just did it for my cousin.

Neat.

Welp it looks like my wife got a dud. She got it setup and updated and was scrolling through her library to download a few games and the screen flashed green for a sec and the ps5 let out a loud beep for about 5 seconds and now it'll power on for a second before turning off again. We did all the troubleshooting steps but I'm pretty sure it's toast. Gonna contact them in the morning for a replacement, hopefully it doesn't take forever.

This is hilarious but does highlight an incoming issue with the new console generation.

In their effort to just stuff PCs inside shells, we are now opening ourselves up to some of the issues PC gaming has. Miles Morales has already hard locked my system once and forced me to quit and restart a second time. I don't think I ever encountered a hard lock on a console ever before and this happened day 1 for PS5.

Has anyone been playing The Pathless? I’ve been too busy with Demon’s Souls and Yakuza 7 to really get into it, but I love the movement system, combining simple archery with a boost meter and an eagle buddy to glide between targets, which give you more momentum, etc.

I’ve been waiting for some goons to beat it and tell me if you get $40 out of it.

I’m running my headphone charger and controller charger out of the 2 ports in the back and the headphone dongle from the front. Also you can configure the USB port charging settings so that they are always on or turn off after a little while.

Definitely grabbing a copy for :10bux: on Black Friday. Procrastinating about picking up Horizon Zero Dawn forever is paying off big time!

Now I just have to figure out which version of Kingdom Hearts 3 and Dragon Quest XI to buy. DQ11 in particular has me baffled. The original PS4 release has the best graphics, but the Switch version has extra content, and the PS4 port of the Switch version has worse graphics but all the extra content I think?

Buying games in 2020 is so complicated. :psyduck:

The PS4 / xbone were essentially just PCs inside shells, too.

They just didn't come out in the middle of a pandemic with firmware and OS hot out of the oven.

I’m actually really disappointed in HZD’s performance on the PS5, seems like it’s locked to 30fps and almost looks like Aloy animates at even less than that, like the Into the Spiderverse costume in Miles Morales. Makes me queasy to look at.

Bugs and crashes come from lack of QA, not the x86 architecture. If PS5s are unreliable it's because Sony rushed them out

Miles Morales hard locking the PS5 on day 1 really spooked me! I haven’t had that specific issue again, and it hasn’t happened with Bugsnax or Demon’s Souls yet. I’m not really concerned because I know SONY have pretty decent customer service and if my console frags itself in the first year I’m sure the warranty will cover me since I bought it directly from SONY.

But yeah I’m nervous I’m gonna download Cyberpunk and it’ll basically just be the Babel Fish virus from Snow Crash.

What happened to the guy who had all the PS5's and was dickwaving? Did he get robbed or something. I mean, yeah, gently caress that guy, but not to the point of being attacked or hurt.

For UK goons trying their luck on Thursday - is it better to refresh poo poo Wednesday night at midnight? I'm not living in UK, so that's 2 AM for me which sucks...but we gotta do what we gotta do!

Also, I know there's a chance, but if I get a defective unit, returns are gonna be a reaaaal hassle. I will roll the dice and quote this when I post that my PS5 is defective.

Three days to go for Euro goons! I'm excited for all of these playstation 4 games that I never got to play. I have analysis paralysis just trying to decide which one to play first! (It'll be the spider-mans)

I'm a bit confused about their 3d audio, I keep seeing it'll work fine on "compatible headsets", but I have no idea which ones are compatible. I literally just got a HyperX Cloud Alpha S and it'll suck if they don't take full advantage of it.

VVV That's good to hear, thanks!

In theory, any headphones work. It's processed by the console. Obviously the better sound your headphones can put out, the better it'll sound.

Anybody else having occasional crashes in Demon's Souls? I've had it crash back to the UI a few times now. It isn't a big deal because no progress was lost, and I'm assuming that there will be some stability issues with a new game on a new system. I do have an external drive plugged in, and I'm wondering if that could be causing stability issues, too?

OK, this is roughly what I've had. None of them have hard-locked the console. It asks me to send an error report, sends me back to the main home screen, and that's that. I'll assume this is because the firmware and game software are still a bit undercooked.

I'm curious how the pandemic affected the development of the PS5, and I wonder if some features that were no-brainers (VRR, using an external drive as cold storage) aren't in it because they simply didn't have time with the challenges the pandemic created.

Ah well, I'm assuming stability will get better with time.
