Oh yeah, that's right, Argos always seemed to drop at stupid o'clock. I remember now.

Advice online suggests 8am. It was 8am last time. I won't be getting up at 4am anyway... But will try as soon as I do get up.

Think I tried too late. 50k+ people in front of me.

It really is astonishing, a year on and supply problems just as bad.

Not really, Covid, the boat blocking the Suez ,and scalpers all major factors.
Cant see it getting much better for a while tbh

Pity I didn't know what was to come, I'd have put my pension in Sony shares.
I hadn't thought about the implications downstream of the boat in the Suez Canal, I should imagine that with he 'just in time' supply chain, it will still be causing chaos.
Anyway, the lad's one is bought.

Might have bagged one via Argos this morning. Still TBC.
Quite a bit of hassle over 30 mins this morning. Thought they were all gone, still kept refreshing my basket, then suddenly seemed to come in stock again in my local store.

I paid over the odds for a (barely) used one. It came with 2 games which sort of justified it.

It’s all about the ray tracing advancement which is a massive leap in graphics tech. Not that my son will care. But should last him a few years til the next one.

Totally missed that if you have PS Plus, you can add any free PS5 games to your library if you only have a PS4. Missed out on some games I would have liked to try.

Huh?

Not sure what you're asking!
If you have a PS4, have PS Plus and are planning on getting a PS5, you can add any free PS5 games that are offered to your library for future download.

The shark one (Maneater) looked like it might be fun. That was offered as PS5 only a few months back.

Had a quick go of the free Astrobot thing. If you've played Astrobot VR, I'm not sure you'll be blown away by a shaky controller.

I loved it, all the clever things it can do. Never played VR.
Astrobot VR is fucking awesome.

Quite impressed with how good God of War looks. I never played it on PS4, but I'm sure some of the effects must be enhanced.

Not necessarily PS5 specific, but the PS5 is the machine upon which I would use it:
Would a set of the ps5 pulse headphones add any particular advantage over the current set up which is a pair of Bose QC35 headphones connected to the controller by cable? ( I don't have any speakers as I connect to a monitor rather than TV)
Is the 3d sound of any merit, or a gimmick?

Got it!!

I have one and recommend (this is from a guy who grew up Sony audio tech, from their walkmans to their high res players and their NC headphones etc)..
BUT you can get the same sound from your Bose QC35 by connecting it to the controller.
Is it a gimmick? Of course it is.
3D audio is basically in-depth surround sound. Connectivity is great with the Pulse. Seamless.
The battery life, the humungous plasticky build and controls are shite!
Look at the fucking controls ffs.

mm thanks - that sounds like a "mixed" review
Like the concept of surround gaming, but....
Might wait until a price drop. Almost bought them at £78 a few months ago now, but they now seem to be in short supply and up too £90.
Seamless connectivity sounds good. I only have limited time for gaming and want to be up and fragging as soon as possible , without faffing to set up each time
