"Exciting updates" probably just means a PS5 port of Death Stranding.

You guys are right. Best Buy tweeted yesterday they were dropping consoles after a certain time and planned to release them over two three hours after that time.

Keep hitting that F5! You’re almost there!

They did say sometime after 9 AM. Not at 9 AM ;)

Mildly PS5 related but The Pathless dropped in Apple Arcade today. Looks pretty much the same as far as gameplay is concerned. I planned on putting CP2077 on the back burner until the next gen version dropped to play this over the weekend but now I’m like well I can play it for free.

Has anyone tried both versions? I still might buy it in PS5 just to support the developers.

I haven't played the Apple Arcade version, but the PS5 version is great because of the Dualsense. The movement in the game is a little weird at first, basically you fill up a meter to sprint by shooting floating targets spread around the world with your bow, but you auto lock on to them and you just hold down the right trigger for maybe a second, until the outside edge of the target is entirely red. but a lot of the time the target will be off screen when you can finally shoot it, or you won't see it at all and you'll auto lock on to it. But the Dualsense has a subtle vibration like on the trigger that I can't even really describe, but it's really good at indicating when you can let go of the trigger and hit the target which I was really impressed with, but again, I haven't played the other versions so I should see how the PS4 version feels. It's one of the few uses of the dualsense that i've experienced so far that's actually really useful in gameplay, as opposed to just adding a nice feel to like the spell casting in Demon''s Souls, or things like Astro's Playroom's various implementations of the controller's haptic feedback.

Yeah Pathless's trigger haptics are very well done and make it worth considering on PS5, it frees your eyes to look at other stuff. You can almost traverse the world with your eyes closed, all that's missing is a haptic bump when a target is in range.

Website. It sent like 2 verification emails though between Best Buy and my credit card so I was bouncing back and forth between my computer and phone frantically

I was using the website. First time trying to add it to my cart didn’t work, got a “please wait” message, then a couple minutes later I got the add to cart option again and I made it through.

Yeah. They did some weird queue thing. If you did add to cart it popped up a message saying they were releasing more every few minutes and to wait until the button lit up again. That’s how I was able to get through

I hope that goon got his PS5 from best buy just now. I had one in the cart before the website melted.

I know you guys could just get a bajillion dollars for scalping one, is there anybody just really loving good at this who would be satisfied with like two hundred & shipping for mercenary fighting this bullshit? I don't even know if that's allowed and I'm not trying to hurt anyone.

I don't think you're bad at anything, man. You're competing with God knows how many others doing the same thing. This thread is probably pretty self-selected with people who already have one and that makes it seem like it should be easier than it is.

Yeah the only new features that would be relevant to PS5 are photo mode and higher framerate. Both are nice to have though, especially the framerate. Death Stranding looks great at 60fps

Hopefully the Biden administration will hire a shitload more customs agents.

Relevant to this thread, it's nuts that there are probably a million PS5s sitting in warehouses in San Diego, LA and Seattle right now. But it's crazy in general that so much poo poo coming from Asia will just hang out on docks for months because no one is processing it. A ton of small US companies are getting their asses handed to them having to fly stuff in with FedEx or DHL to get around the complete lack of customs agents.
