Cancelled my Gamestop order.

I have managed to get from Smyths and also Amazon as backup.

Gamestop one was placed as soon as their preorders went live so good chance of being delivered on launch day but didnt want to take my chances with them myself so hopefully it will go to someone in queue.

Yupp confirmed it comes with stand. Looks like it's needed for both horizontal and vertical position.

Really looking forward to the tear down.

There must be some serious cooling involved given the CPU and GPU clocks as well as for the SSD.

raclle

Reckon there'll be more available between launch and xmas?

I think it was Varik mentioned on the PS4 thread or will use liquid metal cooling and should be far superior to what we had in ps4. I'd love to know if i can keep in a shelf of the tv unit, open at the friend and hole at the back for cables or of i will have to stand it beside the telly unit squeezed between unit and wall. None really ideal but i just hope it's quiet.

Royale with Cheese

I've a pre-order down but those pictures are putting me off. I'm coming from Xbox and figured the PS5 was for me as I'd get to go next gen and play all the PS4 exclusives I missed out on while keeping the One X for gamepass, but I dunno maybe I'll wait for PS5 slim years down the line.

The big change is the vapour chamber instead of just solid metal and heat pipes, which the One X currently uses and it'd be almost certain both the next gen will use.

The liquid metal would be instead of normal thermal paste or pads and is less certain as it's going on a patent for sealing it around the APU. Sealing it in place being important as the stuff eats aluminium, so next to no normal users will be messing with it after the fact.

I dont normally trade in my old consoles but i'm half thinking of it with my 2tb Ps4 Pro. What sort of money would i get for it now pre PS5 launch?

Is it the special edition PS4 pro or did you upgrade the HDD yourself? If it was originally 1tb places like cex won't differentiate between 2tb or 1tb and give the same roughly 230 for it (including controller and all cables in good condition )

Cheers Kremin no its the normal 1tb model and i installed a Seagate FireCuda 2 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive in it. I normally hold onto the old console and use it as a media player but i dont really need it at this stage with chromecast etc

petes

237 boxed or 231 unboxes in cex.

Probably start to reduce coming up to release date and further after release date.

Not sure what to do with mine, have a ps4 that the disc drive is borked but still works digitall and a pro.

Shouldn't go on to cex as I start putting in any electronics I have to see how much they'd give me lol

keano25

Anyone know when Harvey Norman are going pre order? Can't get one of these anywhere other than crazy prices on eBay

I just logged into my address pal account. These are the max delivery sizes that will be rejected . I am going to use the Addresspal , and feel confident that any console that is delivered will be smaller than that. !

AddressPal Post Office/Collection Point service
Max Dimensions:
72cm X 31cm X 25cm with a maximum weight of 20kg

Oversized items will be charged at €25 per item and can be collected at your Delivery Service Unit. You will be contacted by An Post, by phone/email in advance to notify you that your item is available for collection at the Delivery Service Unit
Oversized items maximum dimensions:
Length: 1.5 metres
Length + Girth: 3 metres
To calculate Girth: 2 x (Depth + Width)
Items that exceed these dimensions will be refused at our UK Hub

The problem will be the rechargeable battery if anything, with AddressPal, not the size. If there’s a Li-ion sticker on it they’ll probably return it to sender.

Not true.
I've gotten items with those batteries inside that wouldn't ship to Parcel Motel but did with Address Pal no problem.

Echo what Rob has said, one controller, same as if you were buying one new.
