Still waiting for GTA6
They won't release gta6 till more playstation 5's have been sold otherwise it's a very limited sales market
The lad at work was saying he got a PS5 with EE a few days before we broke up. I was going to have a look, but forgot.
Was it an amicable split?The lad at work was saying he got a PS5 with EE a few days before we broke up. I was going to have a look, but forgot.
I haven't told him yet. I'm hoping he gets the message if I don't call over Christmas.

Daughter found a PS5 for my son and new xbox for her BF. she did well!
Slight update that most won't give a poop about 
I have bought the ps5 with the disc option. I also bought a ps5 digital (with no disc) for the grandsons birthday and now the comparisons are quite obvious.
On average, If I am downloading a game from a disc, it takes around 2 hours of downloading and then I can play the game everytime after as long as I put the disc in. The benefit of this is obvious. Games that cost £60 when new, often are sold second hand for around £15 - £20. One down side is for some is that it is not the best looking of the two as it has a cd drive built in so a bit more bulkier and if you have young kids playing it, they are not great at disc care, leaving them all over the bedroom, sticky fingers, scratches etc
The digital ps5 cannot download discs and every game has to be downloaded at full price through a ps plus membership which at the basic , has a £49.99 annual subscription fee. One benefit of that is every month they offer one ps5 and two ps4 games a month free. You do have to be more involved in the ps plus membership to see what bargains can be had.
The biggest problem so far experienced has been the downloading of digital games. One of the games he tried to download yesterday came up with a 24 hour download time. Two reasons for this. The game involved is a very big and popular game so not only downloads what the disc would have, but also every single online playing option too.
The other restriction is internet speed. The grandkids house is incredibly internet based. All of their phones are wifi enabled when at home to save using their mobile data. Then there is thier tv on the wifi, the three tablets, two smart watches and an Apple computer on wifi too. This will have quite an effect on the downloading speed.
Having tried all of the PS4, PS5 digital and PS5 disc versions, I would say for me and it is just me, someone who plays one or two games and infrequently, For me I genuinely feel if you have a PS4 and an average tv, save the PS4 and buy a far better TV the results are on a par with the PS5.
One last thing. When they first came out and even today in the marketing, they look white, in reality they are a light grey, similar to the ps2 console grey
Okay, boring post over, carry on

I’ve put one of these in mine as the internal storage was getting full, this will be amplified with a digital only version.
Seagate FireCuda 530, 1 TB, Internal Solid State Drive - M.2 PCIe Gen4 ×4 NVMe 1.4, transfer speeds up to 7,300 MB/s, 3D TLC NAND, 1,275 TBW, Heatsink, 3 year Rescue Services (ZP1000GM3A023) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0977LW48F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SBXH2T6PQDVC4X11QTKN
Keep your eye out as every now and then they reduce the price.

Shoved a Seagate 2TB FireCuda 2.5 inch Internal SSHD Hard Drive (£85 in Jan 2018 off Amazon) in my sons PS4 over 4 years ago. Keeps up with PS4 as far as he can see, and is a lot quieter. Plenty of space an still no need to upgrade the device further... however, he now spends most of his gaming time on ruddy great gaming PC... so just ignore everything I said!

Another boring update 
My own ps5 disc model for some reason, when booted, goes straight into rest mode meaning I have to wait till it powers down again before pushing the ps badge to fire it up. Annoying and puzzling but it doesn't effect use.
Grandson's digital ps5 has been plagued with issues particulary around loosing the wifi signal. It either says no signal or weak signal and signal now lost. None of the other wifi enabled items in his room or in the house have had this issue. I did wonder if they just had too many wifi devices in the house so we turned them all off apart from his digital ps5 and no change. What I did do today after seeing the log error was to buy wifi signal booster and so far so good, fingers crossed.
So far then we have 1 ps5 disc, 1 ps5 digital and 2 ps4's in good condition and boxed and just because I could, I looked at a second hand shop called cex to see what they would buy them for
Playstation 4 in good condition and boxed, cost new £250, cex will pay £84 and will reseall at £180
Playstation 5 Digital in good condition and boxed, cost new £350, cex will pay £93 and will resell at £360
Playstation 5 Disc in good condition and boxed, cost new £450, cex will pay £410 and will resell at £595
What suprised me was the poor second hand value of the ps5 digital version.

Amazon have honoured me by being allowed to be invited to buy a PS5 disc edition (maybe, they won't guarantee I can buy one). 
So I took them up on their offer.
This is worse than bloody Rolex. Since when do you have to doff you cap to companies to spend money? 
I got on the list yesterday and still haven't got my invite.

Blimey.
