Re: PS5 thread
 

Thanks Ste, I couldn't find it. That looks like it is upside down. It also uses a stand no matter which way you have it stood.

Re: PS5 thread
 

It's interesting but it's growing on me and it's not a boring box for a change.

If they had a black version I would likely go for that though, although I don't think I am buying day one.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I'd say the stand comes in the box.
It will look cool in a dark room with the blue glow.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Yeah it should, especially since they keep showing the pictures with it. The white doesn't work for me, but it may look better to me if it was black.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I think it looks better vertical not sure it would fit my TV stand, someone will work out the dimensions by the morning.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Looks about the length of 3 discs, based on the disc drive there.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I quite like the colour scheme, but then I like the Xbox one s being two tone and prefer the White ps4.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Grain of salt needed. I don't think it'll be that much bigger than the Xbox. That makes the Xbox look tiny, which we know it won't be.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I think it's likely the same length as a PS4 Pro.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I'm using my sizes based off the disc drive on the ps5. It looks like it is about 3 disc drives in length which is 14.3inch and the ps4 pro is 13inch.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Good grief.:shocked::shocked:

Re: PS5 thread
 

If these are to scale designs then that is the real size difference, look at the disc drive

Re: PS5 thread
 

It's gopping !!!!!!

Looks like they let Mr. Dyson wreak havoc in the design process

Re: PS5 thread
 

Estimated height dimensions are 35-36cm! this thing is huge and would have to lie flat on my TV stand!

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...1&d=1591988455

Re: PS5 thread
 

Yeah so close to what I guessed based off the drive. It looks better without a drive though. The Pro version will be about the length of the Xbox when that comes out. Oh and the Spiderman game isn't actually a new game. It's an expansion for the PS5 version of Spiderman. Still looks class though.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I know people are lining up the drive slot and usb but I don't think that works out. Especially when you see the controller looks huge compared to the Series X one, in some of the comparisons where the controllers were left in it.

---------- Post added at 20:22 ---------- Previous post was at 20:16 ----------

Where did you read it was an expansion? It's a separate game. IE you don't need the other game.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I worked out roughly how many drives would go across the length of it which is 3, then I looked to see what the length a disc is and multiplied it. That does give an accurate length of it.

---------- Post added at 20:23 ---------- Previous post was at 20:22 ----------

Here it says it's an expansion

https://www.ign.com/articles/ps5-spi...ion-not-sequel

---------- Post added at 20:24 ---------- Previous post was at 20:23 ----------

OK they've expanded on it now, earlier it just said it was an expansion.

Re: PS5 thread
 

A size comparison, i actually really like the look of the PS5 now in this orientation and it would be great if the white parts are customer swappable.

I love it compared to the Xbox, would like a choice of colours though.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I think I prefer the look of the XSX.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I don't like the look of the XSX lying down, but I'm only a one console household so I will have to get used to the PS5, but not planning on buying day one as my Pro is silent and I don't want to start buying £50 games again, my whole digital games purchase over a year is easily less than £100 and would like to keep it that way and still buy great games.

Re: PS5 thread
 

l think apart from the real hard gamers many will wait a while before they start considering whether to purchase a PS5.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Possibly but we have to remember these new consoles are backwards compatible with the previous generation, some people will still be using day one ps4s and Xbox One's so they may feel it's time for an upgrade.

And the thought of near instant loading is a huge plus, I gave up trying to play The Witcher 3 because the loading was insane, but with the new consoles especially newer games there won't be loading screens.

I will try and refrain from buying to early like I did with my Xbox One, if I had held off I would have come to my senses and got the PS4 far sooner as it was much better, atlleast in my opinion.

Re: PS5 thread
 

The XSX so far has better backwards compatibility implementation as well as, the smart download thing. If you buy an X1 game and it get a XSX update then you get that version free.

Don't see Sony doing similar. Only had my 4 Pro 15 months. Had my X1 one since 2014 and the 360 since launch.

So for me I'll have a huge Series X catalogue of games, not to mention gamepass.

So may stick with my PS4 Pro for a while longer and get the series X at launch. Makes more sense to me.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Another option is Lockhart for you if it exists?

Re: PS5 thread
 

I'm sti not sure if that will happen, although I never thought Sony would do an all digital edition of the PS5. So anything is possible I guess.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I wouldn't be surprised if MS do an all digital version of the XSX after the Sony reveal.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Apparently we will still need a USB dongle sticking out the console for the headset!!!

Re: PS5 thread
 

The next PS5 showcase is happening September 16th 9pm BST, more game news and I expect pricing and pre-order info.

https://blog.playstation.com/2020/09...-september-16/

My price guess is £349.99 PS5 DE and £449.99 Disc.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Pricing confirmed, available November 19.

£359.99 PS5 DE
£449.99 Disc

Re: PS5 thread
 

Pre orders start tomorrow apparently.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Where did you get that info and tomorrow may mean midnight? :D

---------- Post added at 22:44 ---------- Previous post was at 22:37 ----------

Just seen it on Twitter, so I'll wait until midnight to see if Amazon puts a page up and make a decision.

15 free PS4 games available to download via Plus collections for PS5 owners at launch.

---------- Post added at 23:26 ---------- Previous post was at 23:08 ----------

Pre order page now live at Game.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I take it you will be going for the digital edition?

The Harry Potter game looks amazing but not out till 2021. So does Demon Souls which will be a launch title.

Re: PS5 thread
 

No I'm getting disc version even if I don't use it.

I don't want to order from Game or Smyth's so waiting for Amazon but will have to give up tonight as work at 6am!

Btw Headset is only £90 at Game with console I thought it would be more.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I was surprised at the price of the 3D headset to be honest.

Not sure whether to wait till next year for more game choice or sell my ps4 Pro now and buy the digital edition.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Just ordered disc version from Amazon it took a while for the page to work properly, these will sell out quickly!

Re: PS5 thread
 

Also got the headset ordered, if I had waited until after work it would not have been possible, first time I have ever pre-ordered a console.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Here are the official PS5 dimensions, not too bad when compared to my PS4 Pro.

PS5: Approx. 390mm x 104mm(without stand) x 260mm (width x height x depth)

PS4 Pro: 295mm x 55mm x 327mm (width x height x depth)

Re: PS5 thread
 

Has anyone else Pre Ordered the PS5?

Re: PS5 thread
 

l always think its wise for potential buyers to bide their time and wait until the price comes down a bit and all the flaws and bugs have been sorted out.

Re: PS5 thread
 

That had been my plan, but in the end the thought of no long load times got the better of me and i didn't want to wait another year or so.

If they ever bring out a slim version of the PS5 or a PS5 Pro i will also likely upgrade to it and hope its a little smaller.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I've preorded it. Might as well gain from the load times and performance.

Re: PS5 thread
 

There is finally a PS5 teardown video, liquid metal, huge heatsink and fan I hope this means quiet console.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Here it is. You'll need to turn on subtitles.

Also the covers are removable. So probably there will be custom ones produced.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Are you pre ordering a specific PS5 game?

---------- Post added at 10:17 ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 ----------

Looking forward to custom side panels, this will be very popular.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Our first look at the PlayStation 5 user interface, it seems pretty nice to me.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Well my 3D pulse headset from Amazon is now getting delivered on the 12th instead of the 19th, if only they would do that with the console too!

Re: PS5 thread
 

A lot of the games and accessories are coming on the 12th.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I'll buy the digital version of Spiderman when I get the console. That's pretty much it for now.

You?

Re: PS5 thread
 

Thinking about Assassin's Creed Valhalla as I love those games and enjoy chasing the platinum so can get 100+ hours out of it easily.

However I will probably reluctantly buy on disc seeing so expensive, I'm used to paying £$15 max on the digital stores and getting bargains in the sales.

---------- Post added at 08:03 ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 ----------

Is it only me and Damien that have pre ordered the PS5?

Re: PS5 thread
 

No, I think Sony would be in a lot of trouble if that were the case.

I've also pre-orded the XSX and will cancel one, like the XSX before release day.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Haha I meant on CF.

I can't see myself being a 2 console person until the games I want to play release on the one I don't buy.

Re: PS5 thread
 

The thing is since I have mostly been on PlayStation this generation if I got a Series X I would have a lot of games to play on backwards compatibility. On the other hand PS5 had Spider-Man day one so...

Re: PS5 thread
 

I'm wondering what I'm going to do about storage, I currently have 3TB on PS4 do for now I will just plug in my 2TB passport drive for PS4 games.

What are your plans Damien?

Stephen are you getting a PS5 at launch?

Re: PS5 thread
 

I won't be getting either new console at launch. I will possibly manage to get a series S at Christmas.

Currently PS4 Pro and most of the PS5 launch games I want to play(mainly Spoderman) are coming out for PS4 so will just stick with that for time being then upgrade later next year. Not working atm so not got the cash anyway.

Your 3tb drive should hopefully just plug into the PS5 meaning you won't need to redownload games.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I'm sorted for the PS5 launch, now got 2 games on order Assassins Creed Valhalla and Spiderman Miles Morales on disc both using a Currys £5 off code.

Really wanted to go digital only but can't yet at these prices!

Re: PS5 thread
 

Destruction Allstars delayed until February 2021 where it will move to PS Plus for 2 months, i take that as being free to keep if you download it during those 2 months.

Re: PS5 thread
 

November on PS PLUS has a surprise addition for the PS5, can't complain and Shadow of War for PS4 owners is bloody awesome!

---------- Post added at 19:13 ---------- Previous post was at 19:11 ----------

Glad i have a 2TB external as i am sure going to need it for all the PS4 games they're giving us!

Re: PS5 thread
 

Well it's out for delivery.....

Going to have to baby it for a while to try and avoid the issues that are getting reported.

1. Turn off rest mode
2. Don't use external HDD
3. Turn off power on control

Pray for no coil whine or fan noise!

Re: PS5 thread
 

Apparently the update released yesterday sorts out the rest mode issue as well as ext hdd trouble.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Where did you read that as i haven't seen any confirmation about that yet, is it official as Sony has said nothing as far as i am aware.

I can only hope things are stable for me though without coil whine or noise.

Got the free PS5 PSVR adapter this morning, have you ordered yours yet, best to get it while its still free?

Console should be hear by 15:30.

Edit

Just arrived.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I've ordered my adaptor. Not arrived yet though.

Well the official release notes don't state anything other than stability foxes. But I've read on a few forums and sites that it's about 865mb and seems to have fixed it for them.

Re: PS5 thread
 

The controller is shockingly good and nexgen when trying out Astros Playroom, definitely a game changer compared to other consoles, hoping it doesn't kill the battery though.

Downloading is far faster than on the PS4, a network test reports my max speed of 204mbit which is what I pay for and this is over wireless.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Damien how are you getting on with your PS5, any issues and thoughts on Dualsense with Astrobot as I'm still blown away and wish there was more than 2 people on CF with one?

Re: PS5 thread
 

I really liked Astro's Playroom. Amazing game for free and yeah the controller is really good.

For the most part I've been enjoying the fast load times on Spiderman, everything just starts almost instantly.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Platinumed Astrobot now playing Valhalla then maybe Spider-Man but these games take me weeks playing when trying to platinum and then there are the 20 free PS4 games to try although I already have 13 of those.

I've had a black screen of death with the console which worried me considering all the reports of issues with crashing, managed to fix that luckily and decided to unplug my external HDD as it is suspected using one may cause random crashes as well as avoiding rest mode for now.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Any new PS5 owners on this Forum?

I went up from a PS4 Pro with no regrets and loving every second of it, this generation is going to be great.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Not here. Still happy with PS4 Pro for now.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Completely happy with PS4 currently..

I'm looking forward to Control. Also Concrete Genie as it has PS VR support.

Also been adding all the PS5 games to library so I'll have a good few to play when I eventually upgrade.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I actually bought control Ultimate before Christmas when it was on sale digitally but held off playing it until the enhanced PS5 upgrade was ready, oh well nevermind.

PS5 is awesome far better than my PS4 Pro and it's great to play games at 60 FPS.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I've been replaying the uncharted remasters on my Pro recently and they are 60 and are so much better for it.

Some great games there.

Glad I held off on FF7 Remake.

Have been adding the PS5 games to my library so they are there when I eventually upgrade.

4K oled is first on my purchase list. My 40th coming up so hoping I'll have plenty to get the LG 55inch CX oled.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Yes the LG C9 or CX are the go to TVs, if i was buying one though i would have to take the CX 48in, my only worry is they do suffer from burn in so not sure i would want to take the risk and just stick to the latest LCD technology whatever that is.

Anyway my 49KS9000 would need to die before any of that happens. :)

Re: PS5 thread
 

My son has finally got his hands on the PS5 he’s been wanting for months. He paid over the odds from an eBay seller which makes my blood boil but it’s his wages and I guess he can afford it while he has no mortgage or other bills, though I dislike rewarding vultures.

Anyway, my question: the box is really noisy at certain times when the unit is working hard. He says there’s a fix detailed on the Sony website that involves opening the casing and removing a sticker from the HDD enclosure. Is this true, and is the procedure recommended and worth the effort?

Thank you hive mind :D

Re: PS5 thread
 

Thing is the 48 is currently about the same price as the 55. Lol. It takes years for that to happen though.

Re: PS5 thread
 

I don't have room for anything large than a 49 which is in the corner, it sucks the 48 is never cheaper though.

---------- Post added at 22:35 ---------- Previous post was at 22:30 ----------

I've read 1 person had this issue and they found a sticker was the cause, but on the fan.

Btw the PS5 doesn't have an HDD it's an NVMe which is part of the motherboard.

I can't recommend a fix as mines completely silent so haven't looked into it.

Re: PS5 thread
 

Ah thanks, I’ll let him know. He’s now saying it’s only noisy on boot from cold and removing it from the hollow wooden tv cabinet he put it in is now amplifying the sound a lot less. So hopefully we won’t be needing to take a screwdriver to it ...
