Doesn't look to bad in fairness. Stick up a photo when you have it put together.

I like that. Do you mind posting pic of paint used?

With the comments about colouring, I glanced at mine and noticed my PSVR headset above it actually matches

Final product with the paint used.

The Raging Bile Duct

I actually like the white and black.

It really does feel like a big jump in price

The fear I have is it's going to turn people off taking risks when they're buying. Something like Horizon or a new Naughty Dog game I think people will pay full price, but when it comes to something like Returnal 80 quid is a big old commitment. And with Sony already doubling/tripling down on their successful franchises, the almost inevitably slow sales of their riskier projects might skew the data yet again towards 'they just want more Uncharted' or whatnot.

Yupp. Like with Days Gone, Sony said it didn't sell well enough (allegedly) and DG director gave out that not enough people bought it at full price at launch. Can't base the future of your franchise on launch sales, especially at 80 euro, especially on a console that many people are still trying to get their hands on.

How do people go about buying games nowadays with the customs hassle? Haven't tried anything over the €22 limit myself so dunno what it's like for anything over it. Amazon being a 10er or so cheaper seems to be a thing of the past.

Amazon include all custom charges and Irish Vat in the final figure they show you before you checkout.

Just a generic add, they've put out a few showing different features of the PS5.

The SSD in question is just the default one already in it.

I bought a digital ps5 last week. I’ve noticed that any games in my library from PS4 that I owned on disc are unplayable for me on ps5. It seems I have to either buy again or buy the disc version. There’s not too many disc games that actually bother me but my son got miles morales on ps 4 on disc and is like to get the ps5 version for him. His uncle has a disc version so would I be able to download the digital version of miles morales on ps5 if I log into my account on his ps5.

You can play ps4 disc games on ps5, but you need to have disc in the console whilst playing

Afraid so, if you didn't get the PS5 disc console then only digital games will be backwards compatible

EoinHef

You could always keep trying for a disc version and if ye get one eventually should be able to sell the digital on handy enough

Turned the PS on tonight lads, trying to load WZ but getting

“Cant use this content. Cant connect to the server to verify your licence...”

Any ideas? have signed in/out, restarted numerous times, manually added DNS etc to no effect.

Did anyone here get an email about the new 3DS security measures? Saw it mentioned elsewhere, but I haven't seen the mail myself.

I got it yesterday. They’re just saying there may be issues.

“Unfortunately, while these changes are being adopted, 3DS authentication failures may cause payments made on games consoles including PS4™ and PS5™ to be declined. We expect this to impact credit and debit cards more than PayPal and other payment methods we accept. Voucher code redemption will be unaffected.”

Cheers. So shopping via desktop or mobile should be okay?

Here you go.
“How do I continue to buy PS4™ or PS5™ digital content?
You should still be able to successfully check out on console using PayPal or another alternative payment method. You can also buy Wallet-Top up vouchers to redeem on your console and then use the wallet funds for your purchases.

Alternatively, the off-console version of Playstation™Store – accessible via desktop or mobile devices – is not expected to be as adversely impacted by the 3DS implementation process so you can try using your credit or debit card to buy content via PS Store at: store.playstation.com“
