PS5 thread 2.0

55 dollars

I reckon they'll clean up. Easier to sell €60 face plates than it is a new €500 limited edition console and I'd say people are likely to buy a few over the years especially if there's themed ones.

I'd rather just buy a colourful controller at that rate, similar money.

Cheaper than the 3rd party ones

Could also see them having collector editions of games that come with a themed set.

I dunno, everything in my unit is black so the PS5 stuck out like a sore thumb. The design in general doesn't bother me but it looked bad in my setup, ended up paying €44 on Amazon for a set of black plates and it was money well spent.

I don't think the third party ones in general were ever that cheap, they all seemed to cost between €35 and €45 when I was buying mine - some were even more expensive. I can't speak for any of the other covers, but compared to the official cover my one felt noticeably cheaper, and it was missing the PlayStation symbols embossed on the plastic as well at the PlayStation logo in the top right and it was a bit fiddly to attach. Is it worth paying 50 odd quid for? Maybe not, but it will almost certainly be far better than any similarly-priced third party cover.

Yea I think someone mentioned it earlier but these plates are really nice/cheap alternative to the special edition consoles. I think it was when Battlefront (2015) came out there was a Darth Vader limited edition PS4 that came out with it. Really wanted it but couldn't justify the €400. Now they can just start selling the plates with collectors editions of the games.

I would say €50-60, which is what they appear to be priced, is just about reasonable. They will sell a tonne of these.

So, ah, Praey for the Gods is out. I got a notification earlier that this game in my wishlist was available to buy, it was always Coming Soon until then. When I checked just now, it's out. And it's €30. And I'm getting it Friday, because it's basically Shadow of the Colossus with survival elements. And it looks amazing. And it's out!

Possible to tickle more tongues, RPS declare it as a mixture of SOTC and BOTW;

"You have a Zelda-style glider, for parachuting down from high places, and a Zelda-style hookshot, for pulling yourself towards distant places. Swords and bows deteriorate as you use them, before eventually breaking entirely."

It was out in early access on PC a couple of years ago.

Haven't played it myself but reviews on steam are mostly positive

Rumours of a State of Play before the end of this month

https://www.dualshockers.com/sony-to-organize-playstation-state-of-play-in-december-rumor/

Will there be any Christmas sale this year? Strange they never done the 12 deals one.

Anyone know if the GTA Trilogy on PS4 has an upgrade to PS5? People who got retail copies early said it doesn't but Rockstar support said the upgrade just wasn't live, now that it's actually out nobody is saying anything!

Morning all.

The youngest lad is getting a PS5 for Christmas, and I'm just wondering if I've forgotten anything or if there's something else I should pick up before Christmas morning.

I have the console, extra controller, FIFA 22, and just registered a gamertag and purchased a 12 month subscription half price on the Sony website. He'll be playing FIFA and Fortnite with his buddies almost exclusivley.

Is it worth opening and doing updates, downloading Fortnite, etc. before the big day? Do they take long? Anything else I should know about?

Thanks all.

Thanks Zero, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Will defintely set those things up.

Are there any free games worth downloading for a 10 year old? Even offline solo games? Just something different to FIFA and Fortnite. Modern day Sonic?!

Also, I know with the Xbox you can buy cheap (Brazilian) Live codes and stack them on your account using a VPN. Is something similar possible on the PSN?

With PS Plus you get access to a collection of 20 PS4 games too, including Ratchet and Clank, and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.
