It isn't March anymore
Right. And now the PS5 is 10x more easy to get. A personal friend bought three last month. One for him, one for his brother, one for his nephew. I've activated mine in April and Sony even sent me a direct email offering me one a few months back. They know I have one, it's registered to my PSN profile. I just ignored the email and let someone else get it.
They aren't easier to get now as the holidays at coming.
They are where I am in central Florida. I’ve been casually attempting to get one since launch and no luck. Like you say there aren’t really any games for it I must play right now and I was able to get a Series X so I’m not really sweating it.
Just an fyi I worked for a company that’s job was to promote that program. If you opt into Verizon rewards you’re also opting into y ring tracked via gps and your data usage being monitored. Not sure how good of a job they do at randomizing that stuff or if they were at all.
Just because you only used yours to play two games doesn't mean its a useless system to any others. I have played almost 20 games on mine the past 11 months. Most have been PS5 games (a lot of exclusives and when the game is multiplatform, I choose the PS5 version) and when I do play some PS4 games I use my PS5 to play them for a better experience with more power, less loading, way better controller, etc. My PS4 has not been turned on in months and my son just happened to turn it on the other day and it had to download updates as it sat for months on end. So I could argue the PS4 is more useless to me since I have the PS5. To each his own though.
.I bought my PS5 just to play the backlog of PS4 games that had awful loading times and performance issues. I got my PS5 two nights ago and first thing I did was moved Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Witcher 3 from the extended storage to the PS5 console storage. So far I have noticed that the performance and the loading times are so much better on PS5. Fast travel on AC is like 15-20 secs on the PS5 SSD. Before that it was at least a minute or more on my base PS4. What really impressed me more was when I tested out Witcher 3. The stutter, FPS drops, and lags are no longer present on the PS5. I recalled Witcher 3 was constant stuttering, FPS drops, and so laggy as hell on my base PS4. I'm so much happier now.
Interesting. I got about half way through that on PS4 a few years back. Maybe I'll finish it on my new PS5.
Completely disagree here. The last six days I clocked in 56 hours at work. You just need to pay attention to news online. The twitter feed of Jake helped me get a PS5 a while back. It was a target drop.
I agree with you there, it isn't useless. I have a large collection of PS4 games, though I don't play them on the PS5 unless there's a specific reason to such as a free upgrade. It just surprises me after a year there are only two actual PS5 titles, Deathloop and Returnal.
And Ratchet And Clank.
Forza Horizon 5 just came out and Halo next month.
Isn't that kinda it though? Not that there are no games but multiplatform games shouldn't be it along with 2 major exclusives a year after release, which really isn't enough, especially when both are on PC too.
Also Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. But yeah, there needs to be more exclusive PS5 titles. There are more already announced the next two years.
Those are Xbox One games not XSX exclusives.
Not everybody has a PC that can play Forza or Halo or Psychonauts at 4K like a Xbox can. GPUs are even more expensive than any console.
This is true. Not everyone has a PC. Doesn't change the fact that they aren't true console exclusives. Nothing wrong with that, but those games can be played elsewhere, and it's still just those 2 major titles for now.
What was your wait time, just because the wait page will say “sold out” it may not be sold out. The page almost always says that. You won’t know til your time is up really but if you had a 10-15 min wait you likely had a decent chance
I don't think this is true. As someone whos been able to snag multiple systems for myself and friends, it depends.
I’m in the same boat, snagged multiples. I just haven’t paid attention to what it says other than the time really. But from what I’ve seen on twitter there have been people who have gotten good times and it’s said sold out up top so it doesn’t hurt to wait and see anyway. Just keep a tab open while you tend to other business
Mine started from 35minutes "This deal is sold out" constant tick down at around 13 minute left i recheck and i was in and let me checkout so unless they cancel is just random.
I'd keep the Pro. I'm using mine for PS4 games that are in my backlog and have no business being on a PS5. Plus my Pro has a 2TB HD while the PS5 only has 600GB.
