On the plus side, if I end up getting the disc version, I'll sell it and make some profit out of it

Scalpers smh

 

[Chandoo]

The fact that a single person was allowed to buy so many units of such a high in demand thing is a massive store-chain failure.

On a more positive note, the PS Collection has been launched on the PSN store. 20 high profile games at the moment from first and third party studios.

*and* it is possible to play these if you have a PS4 too, even though they are primarily meant to entice people to buy PS5's.

So, if you know anyone with a PS5, have them login to their PS5 with your PSN ID. Redeem it on your account. Then log back into your PS4 and you will have access to all these games.

@CerebralTiger hit me up when your PS5 arrives

Sure thing, but wouldn't it require you to be subbed to ps plus?

Sony may have included a free 1 month trial with the PS5, in which case this shouldn't be an issue.

Getting a used console, that too during a global pandemic...

Poor guy, if I got a console like that first thing I would do is check if PSN login works, then check if that person was foolish enough to keep a payment option saved.

Then sky is the limit

What's the point of offering PS Collection on PS4 if it cannot be claimed there? If I had a PS5 to redeem those games, why would I play them on PS4 then?

Well, i was concerned about claiming 2-3 games from the Collection on PS4 but guess there's no easy way to do it. :/

 

[Major Aly]

Will the collection stay up long enough and get more titles added to it or will it disappear after a certain amount of time?

It looks like most if not all Digital edition preorders from Sony Direct were sent disc versions lol.

A little confused about this as well. People are mentioning the games will either disappear or get replaced on Jan 4, but I can't find a source for that.

 

[Chandoo]

Wow, so people are getting the better console at $100 less.

Good guy Sony !

 

[manigamer]

problems are bound to happen on launch stuff.

PS5 ‘Queued For Download’ Bug May Require Factory Reset


PlayStation 5 players report errors when trying to download games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and Activision recommends a factory reset.



A major PlayStation 5 bug is keeping new console owners from downloading games, and the only solution may be to perform a complete factory reset on the console. Demand for Sony’s next-gen PlayStation hardware was massive, driving fans to crash retailer websites both when pre-orders went live and when more consoles showed up on launch day. Like with many console launches, though, when the big day arrived, the PS5 wasn’t without its problems.

One of the most severe was a storage rebuild error, which seemed to result from putting some games, including Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered into rest mode. Doing so would reportedly crash the console, requiring players to repair their hard drives, and sometimes force reset the console afterward. For YouTuber ACG, though, the problem was much worse, completely bricking his console. Others were worried about cooling after a PS5 was found to have overheated in a Best Buy display case, but Sony says that the solution to that is simply allowing proper ventilation, something that’s much easier in players’ homes than in retail demo units.


Now, reports are coming in of download errors forcing players to initiate a full factory reset to fix. IGN reports that several staff members had issues when downloading certain games, which either caused the games to be perpetually listed as “queued for download” without ever making progress, or showing a download error. In either case, there was no way to cancel or restart the download, and other players have reported similar issues. IGN says that games including Demon’s Souls and Godfall have caused the error for other players, but it’s most common with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. In the latter case, Activision has advised players to complete a factory reset to clear the error, which also results in wiping all data from the console.



While not as severe as a completely broken console, any error that requires a factory reset is almost as major as bugs get. Fortunately, most players likely don’t have too much data already saved on their PS5s yet, this being the week of launch, so no one will be losing years of saved games and screenshots. Still, players would surely rather be playing games on their brand-new next-gen consoles than struggling to even get them to work.

Console launches are always fraught with concern over whether the brand-new consoles will start showing major problems - like the infamous Xbox 360 red ring of death - often coming after anxiety over whether it will be possible to get new consoles at all. With shortages of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S expected well into next year, even solvable problems can be stress-inducing for players who just dropped a hefty chunk of change on new hardware.

NXGamer's PS5 coverage continues with a new BC video.

I just cannot get over how badly Sony has handled the messaging on BC when the results are shockingly good and very comparable to the Microsoft's mature/seasoned BC team's efforts.

 

[UzairAhmed]

Sony BC has a lot left to be desired.....my personal favourites are Ghost of Tsushima, GOW and days gone with 60FPS patches I hope horizon zero dawn receives the same treatment also an honorable mention is until dawn which I could never play due to it being a stuttering mess.

Just saw the resent 210-240k ps5 adds on pg and olx and I was like lolzzzz you can get a CPU+GPU combo for that price 3080+5800x i am guessing
