PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

I doubt I’ll be able to get my nephew a ps5 from Argos if I queued the night before as people will probably reserve it online

His mam is dreading Christmas but I told her I’ll do my best, like even if I manage to get one myself I’ve give mine or my nephew he’s only 10

How can a 10 year old appreciate the power of a ps5?

I have a 6 year old cousin who can tell the difference between Fortnite at 60fps and 30fps.

Looks like the UI reveal is a couple of days away.

I'm hoping to miss the UI reveal until I power up my console myself.
Big ask with five weeks to go, but one can but try.

I’m sure he will be fine since all he plays is those awful games.

I've played some awful games as a teenager. He's 10, just because you don't like these specific games (I don't either, maybe cod) it doesn't mean anything less to him!

You're getting sniffy about a 10 year old's taste in games? Jesus...

Fortnite, Fifa and COD are all 60fps on Ps4 though. The advantage you would get in these games is more stable resolution, on a base PS4 it would often drop resolution dynamically to achieve that 60fps.

Wheras on PS5 it should lock them all at stable 1440p 60fps rather than it flying all over the place from 720-900-1080p.

You aren't a real gamer unless you've played a japanese game with a title you can't pronounce.

it's an American date at the end, 15th October, Thursday.

I dunno why BK would be advertising a UI reveal, much more likely to be a competition yoke to get you to eat more awful food in the slim chance of getting a PS5.

Yea this is what I was thinking, why are people assuming this is a UI reveal?

Anyone else notice that Smyths have updated the pre order availability date for the PS5 accessories to the 12th November? Would it be strange for these to be available for collection a week before the console lands? I have the headset and camera pre ordered with them.

could be the dates that they expect them in for forward shipping... or could be so that they can collect the money earlier

I doubt their bag would be able to carry the PS5

The accessories and games are releasing worldwide on the 12th, whereas the console isn’t out until the 19th here. Apparently it’s to ease the chances of delivery difficulties on the 19th.

Simply Games tweeted about this the other day. Just noticed Smyths have changed the release date of Miles Morales up to the 12th, so this seems to be true.

Messy though. Imagine you’ll have all your games and accessories on the 12th and no console for a week, it’s going to be strange, hah!

I'm just annoyed that I have to make 2 stops, I might just cancel Demon's Souls and re-order for home delivery.

I wouldn't even trust their bag with a PSP Go

It's to help on the day of the console release, this way everyone should have their accessories etc already so just arrive, get your console and leave. No acting the fool at the counter asking to see different controllers and whatever else

Wish I had gone home delivery for everything day one. Just have to hope the stores will stay open in some shape or form.

Mr.Fantastic

Anyway to change an order to home delivery or have to cancel and order again?

Have the dualsense charging dock preordered but that seems sold out so don't want to cancel and go without.

Prefer using the dock anyway than plugged into the console.

Any info I can see for this TV says the panel is 100hz and the HDMI is 2.0?

this is from the pc world website:
https://www.currys.ie/ieen/tv-and-home-entertainment/televisions/televisions/sony-bravia-kd55xh9005bu-55-smart-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-led-tv-with-google-assistant-10208473-pdt.html

lots of youtube reviews state that panel is 120hz and hdmi 2.1 will be supported in a firmware update around the time the PS5 is launched.
