I’m new to this really but What’s with the lack of being able to buy these when they’ve been released?

What an odd phenomenon. Are people buying them up then flogging them for Chrimbo like touts?

P.S
What is the difference between a digital ps5 and normal ?

Please forgive the obvious naivety I can even hear it myself 😂

Digital all the games you have to buy and download, no disc drive.

And no doubt scrapping the rest. That should be illegal.

Yes, the load times (ssd) is a real game changer when compared to ps4

StormyDog · « **Reply #16 on:** December 23, 2022, 11:43:32 pm »

Gameplay is (obviously) very similar between ps4n ps5

rushyman · « **Reply #17 on:** December 25, 2022, 01:13:57 am »

If gameplay is similar why the hell am I buying one?

I’m not really £500 worth arsed about load times

The controller is by far the biggest upgrade. Haptic feed back is brilliant. I’m no big gamer but I’m happy I got it.

Graphics performance is a huge upgrade. Playing Battlefield and Call of Duty on my PS4 Pro would shudder to a halt when faced with high graphic demands, the PS5 is buttery smooth. Nevermind the frame rate advantage on the PS5.

Controllers is a big plus, though they are heavier, and more expensive to replace.

Generally everything runs faster, from turning on the machine to loading games and cut scenes. It all adds up. BF2042 for example loads up almost immediately on a PS5, where it would take over a minute on a PS4.

Immeasurably upgraded experience compared to the PS4. And you know the console will be around for the next 5-10 years in terms of support and new games.

There will be more and more titles that are only released on 'next ten' machines. I'm not up to speed on the Playstation side of things, but Starfield, Redfall, Outer Worlds 2, Fable are all going to be Xbox next gen and Plague Tale Requiem was only available on PS5/Series SX and I'm fairly certain the upcoming Dead Space remake and Spider Man 2 are also only next gen (the latter PS5 exclusively).

Next Gen only titles have been a bit slow release wise, but I expect things to start ramping up this year.
