Playstation 5

No idea. I don't have to be in a rush. If it looked to be far superior (and I would notice the benefit), I could hold off. Depends on a lot of variables.

Fair enough. I could probably argue I've got enough PS4 games I still need to play till then, but suspect I'll break.

I have a stack of PS4 games I've barely played. Even the games I've played most, I've barely scratched the surface of.

To my surprise, it’s been dispatched. Not sure where I’m going to hide it if it’s as big as everyone says!

 

[Saffy]

I think we've just got one on Amazon. Due for delivery on 19th.
I'm preparing myself for an email saying it's cancelled though.

Damn. Just looked and out of stock already!

 

[Saffy]

My boy said there are twitter rumours of more stock at Argos around midday.
We downloaded a stock informer app, which we thought was rubbish but it did alert us to the amazon stock this morning.

Yeah, I keep doing that. I think I already have enough PS4 games to sort me for the next couple of years.

V interesting. Even running the newest games they use way less energy than gaming PC’s.

Not sure that was my precise take away from it.

People are going to regret rushing to buy a PS5.

As far as I'm concerned the problem of carbon emissions lies in energy production, not consumption. We should be switching electricity production from fossil fuels to nuclear fission and renewables, regardless of whether my hardware consumes more or less energy. Skipping out on upgrading my rig (since I don't do consoles) isn't going to make a damn bit of difference when 70% of emissions are being generated by corporations who couldn't care less what I do either way.

Climate change and carbon emissions are systemic problems, so they will require systemic solutions. It's neoliberal logic to put this down to individuals.

Is this available ANYWHERE in the UK at the moment?

Imminent apparently.

I have this tab open in my browser: Where to buy PS5 in the UK — more PS5 restocks could be coming today

If I notice a re-stock I'll post up. If anyone else does that is after one that would be great in case I miss it.

Might all be bollocks of course. * shrugs *

For those that have a PS5 do they still have access to all the streaming apps, BBC iPlayer, Prime, Disney, YouTube etc?

 

[Sunray]

I think I'll get a PS5 when the next stunning must-have game appears.

Yes

Have people who are looking signed up to Stock Informer? That’s how I got my switch when they were impossible to get in the last lockdown

No iPlayer yet.

 

[Supine]

No PS5 yet!

lol me either.

I think I might have got one in the Game drop earlier this week but I had to go out so left the queue.

Lots expected next week.

Getting one of these is impossible.

Selling out in seconds or websites just not working.

Oh well. Keep trying I guess.

I didn't ever notice the notifications button on twitter before, thanks for the tip.

this account has been good but you have to be so quick.

The controllers apparently have the same issue as the Switch ones. 417 hours life expectancy. Made me a bit less bothered about getting one.
