I was tempted to preorder the media remote with my console, but then I saw it had a dedicated Disney+ button and any desire I might have had to do that dissolved instantly.

The Spider-Man Remaster is ten or fifteen gigs smaller than the PS4 game.

It's a weird case though. Yes, it's smaller if you do the obvious calculation, but it's probably sharing assets with Miles Morales because (as I understand it) you can't install it separately, so you can't just subtract the lone install of Miles Morales to get the size of the original game with the DLCs. So I don't think it's a good test case.

In PS+ can you register a new title of the month they put in there without actually downloading it?

My understanding is you have it and can redownload forever as long as you are a subscriber but it is only available for initial download to the end of the month.
Or is it automatic if you are a subscriber?

Yes. You just go into the store to get the licence buy clicking add to library on the PS+ game page. You then have access to it whenever you have an active PS+ subscription. No need to actually download it.

Sounding more and more like Sony overpromised really badly on just how many PS5's they would have available for pre-order and at launch. Under delivering by possibly millions of units originally promised? I know all of this will work itself out after launch, but this pre-launch / launch day situation is a total disaster.

Isn't it difficult to know who this is on? I can't tell if the retailers sold as many as they were told they were going to get for launch, then Sony cut that number, or they didn't know how many they were going to get and just decided to sell as many as they could get away with.

I genuinely cannot wait to see how much of a car crash Cyberpunk will be on the launch consoles. Microsoft actually failed its cert the first time around it was so bad, and I've never heard of a major game release failing cert before.

I can't find an official source for it at the moment. There's this:

And I found a few places saying that it had actually failed "pre-certification" whatever that is. But I can't find the original source now. But yeah, it was the reason for the original delay to September apparently.

Yeah I dunno like I'm sure general performance issues are part of why they delayed it along with likely it still being very buggy but confirming supposed specific details as to why on a 'report' from some guy on a podcast who totally knows someone that gets picked up by the sort of site that posts 'Breath of the Wild 2 Cancelled??' as it's latest story is tenuous.

As someone who doesn't speak Polish, I'm not qualified to say, but my understanding is that the person on that podcast is a reliable journalist/documentarist who was covering the topic. There's always an element of rumour and speculation about these things when the companies they're talking about aren't talking though, especially in translation, I agree.

If you can read Polish, this is probably the reliable source:

I am going to say something extremely controversial in this, the PS5 thread. I've only preordered a PS5, but I think that the SX looks like a very good console. I hope that everyone has a fun time playing games on next-generation hardware.

The auto-HDR back compat stuff looks very cool.

The problem with features like this is that they will require that the developers implement it into their games, so it's going to be used for launch titles and then never used again.

PS4 version is the same price as the PS5 version everywhere I’ve seen it or obviously that would be the play to make.

Looking at google's price comparison thing, in the UK at least, you can get the PS4 version for £3 cheaper than the PS5 one. Not much of a saving, but still a saving.

I can’t see much reason to assume the DS will be any different. Sony first party will probably make full use of it, but is it worth the extra development time in multiplat games? I hope it’ll get used, but I’m pessimistic.
