Fortunately Very are using Royal Mail, who know the One Weird Trick to get into my building without a key so they can leave it outside my door in the hallway, instead of going down the wrong road like UPS did with my Xbox and coming back the next day!

May all our November Christmases come this Thursday, goons.

MK11 for PS5 is now live. You have to "buy" the free upgrade as in the past, and it seems have to also do this for the DLC. I think if you pre-ordered Kombat Pack 2 you also have to claim the PS4 versions of the characters for you to be able to claim the PS5 versions.

My “your order is being processed” from GAME specifically said that they’re shipping them the day before release but gosh it sure would be nice if they shipped it today!!

Has anyone tried it on a 1440p display? How bad is it?
Also can you charge third party devices with the USB-C port on the front?

I've had the complete opposite experience. I didn't even charge it when I first got it and it lasted two days of pretty intense playing, probably twelve hours total before it gave me the low battery warning. DualShock 4 only lasted like four hours on a full charge.

i've heard it downscales from 4k to 1440 and not the other way around so thats good. think you have to set it to 4k in the system settings tho.

shopto is uk yeah, think its based near london. if its showing you euros then i guess thats a cookies/region thing cos my prices are in great british pounds :britain: :scotland:

its funny tho, the name of the store and the way the old store used to be a barely functioning pos makes it look and sound like some scam store but they've been fantastic to me, usually get games early breaking street date, the way amazon used to do before they changed to their own delivery bullshit. they send out consoles via dpd, the best around. my switch was painless. one of the few that still send out early. shame they didnt price match base for the ps5 games tho. i got spider-man on the 12th from base but demon's souls came on the 14th instead for some reason.

Does it actually spin the disc when you're playing the game? I thought it was just installing to the SSD and the disc was DRM.

The update is very new and I think rest mode only checks for updates once a day or on some sort of interval like that.

This was actually a pain with the PS4 because most game updates would come out early-mid afternoon and not actually start downloading or installing by the time I got home from work.

Yeah I was installing FF7 which is whatever for that. Got to the menu in the game and it was still spinning and loud. Possible it spins down once you enter the game but since I'm 7 minutes from a work meeting did not start.

Rest mode update worked on my end. Applied the update 5h ago.

I couldn't find release notes, so is there a list of things we should keep track of to check when system updates roll out. Off the top my head I have

- Charging in rest mode from front USB-A port
- External Storage + Suspended games buggery

you should have seen how the site was before, thought for sure it was a card cloning scam.

they had a queue/register your interest for the consoles since june, and come official pre-order day, they sent an email saying "hey you still want a ps5 login to your account and click the big green button on your pre-order" it was so loving chill, even tho the site was dying. and the way they worded their emails they've sent me, it sounds like all their allocations are going to people still in their queues, so i wouldnt hold my breath for it. but who knows, you might get lucky, i got lucky with my switch a week before release with these guys. from what i've heard people who got a pre-order 2 weeks ago have been confirmed for day1. they have good varied payment options too. like if you pre-order something you can pay for the pre order whenever you want, however you want (paypal, paypal credit, zip ect) or just leave it until they charge your card. with these new consoles tho they made everyone pay it by the end of october or they were gonna can the pre-orders and give the slots to the next in line.

Cool. Well, another tab won't hurt. It's giving me the option to login with my Amazon credentials which is also weird. Probably not Phishing, but still.

Wait I thought it couldn't output at 1440p so you have to use 1080 or have a monitor that can downscale 4K input to its 1440p panel...

they should really just remove the loading screens altogether in these ps5 upgrades and just have it fade to black, at this point it's just just distracting more than anything. You're definitely not gonna be reading those tips that are onscreen for less than a second.

The worst part of the new Spider-Man on PS5 is that you don’t get the cute subway traveling cutscenes when you fast travel because the game loads so quickly.

Another question - is Spider-Man Remastered PS5 only available as a digital download? I prefer discs if I can help it.
