So I only had a little time to mess around with the PS5 since it was delivered yesterday. Not much else I can say that hasn't been echoed many times. I do love it, but the ui feels unfinished to me. Is there no way to customize a theme or anything? Maybe after a few updates things will be better. My only other complaint is the disc drive. I need to hear some impressions from you all that have it. The PS5 is whisper quiet but I put a 4k movie in and it's loud as fuck. It doesn't sound like the drive is faulty. When you first hear it you almost think "man that's a strong disc drive". It kind of sounds like a solid vibration inside the PS5, beading directly into the shelf of the tv stand. I lifted the console up off the shelf carefully and it continued to do it, so I know it's not the shelf. It does stop once the movie is playing, but while it's loading up going through the menus it's very noticeable. Do your drives sound similar? Edit: console is laying horizontal.

I also liked Predators. It was dumb fun. At this point as much as I like the concept of Predator, I don't feel like the character of the Predator is very interesting. There's only a few ingredients that make up the predator. Big bad alien with camo, a spear, shoulder mounted laser, and clickity clack noises. Been there done that.

@atom631 Walmart will have stock at 3pm today. Make sure to try the app too!

I agree. But in my area, a lady in the school district posted an update pretty much saying out of the few students that are testing positive, almost all are being traced back to getting infected from other family members or social gatherings outside of school. I'm sure it won't stay that way for long, but it was a little reassuring for now anyways.

The PS5 order I got through last week is already on its way. Walmart originally said Nov 28th I think, and now the FedEx tracking says this Friday the 20th

I've only ever lived in PA so I think cars with front license plates look goofy. I do think cars should have to have license plates in the front though. In the event of a crime or accident, it would be an extra option to id the person if they took off or something.

I feel like the last 3-4 years or so has been rough trying to future proof with a new TV. Went from 4k,to 4k HDR-but some of the early HDR tv's don't even look that good. Now if you just bought a nice oled from a year or two ago, you still might be missing out on what the new consoles are fully capable of.

I've mentioned it before but I bought a new TV kind of on a whim, and a month later it turned out to be one Sony said is "Ready for Playstation 5". Sony X90H. It got the firmware a few weeks before the PS5 release that its ready for 4k 120hz. I'm interested to try it out when my console gets here. Here are 2 pics I took with my phone with just the out of the box settings. Better Call Saul on Netflix:

Usually the signal drops out when the booster lands on the drone ship but not this time!

Thanks for posting. I love tuning in for these launches.

Those people got a great deal then!

There's at least 2 posts right now on the PS5 Reddit where people who ordered the digital PS5, opened the box to find the disc drive version inside. Then there is a post with a misprinted controller that has a triangle button in place of the X button. Supposedly based on a teardown video of the controller, a triangle button wouldn't fit in the X buttons place. Some goofy shit going on. If I open my disc version and find a digital I'm going to be pissed.

On the giantbombcast/beastcast I remember they mentioned a website popped up that was going to sell different colored shells but they got shut down by Sony. I might change the color myself when I get the PS5 but I would definitely prefer to just buy an extra set.

Smart tv's make me kind of angry. Some brands will be more compatible with apps than others. Like I have a 2-3 year old LG led in the bedroom. The HBO app doesn't exist anywhere on its app store. My parents have a Samsung Q60 something from the beginning of this year. Any Netflix show that is in HDR looks extremely washed out and dark. Anything in just 4k looks bright and great. I searched everywhere and couldn't find an easy way to turn off HDR. The LG in my bedroom has the same problem with Netflix HDR and the only solution I could find was to buy a Roku stick where I can disable HDR in the Roku settings. I've had the best luck with my new Sony X90H. The os is basically just a clean cut version of Android. It loads apps super fast and has all the apps I want.

@atom631 For the big companies like Sony their main goal is produce as many consoles as possible, as quickly as possible, and get them out the door. Who buys them how.... is probably at the bottom of their list They know every console produced now till June is basically sold on arrival.

That's fucked up. Had my fingers crossed for you.

Since yesterday, the Sony direct website said there will be stock today. The website hasn't changed at all yet. Not sure what time they are going live. https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/ps5

They will definitely have stock sometime between now and Christmas. Just judging by yesterday, it seems like a lot of websites were able to get the word out early enough about retailers taking more orders. I found out yesterday morning just by opening chrome and the first recommended story was ps5 orders opening again.

I only own the complete edition of the first game. Will I get the PS5 version of that for free? Their different scenarios were descriptive but didn't really say that so I'm guessing no.

I could never picture of a big majority of americans going out fighting each other. If any violence would happen, it would be in small select areas and most people would quickly realize the stupidity of it all and not participate.

So they are saying the Pfizer vaccine would have to be given in 2 doses. In the trials it was 21 days apart and was 90% effective. I was curious, is this a shot we would have to get every year like the flu shot?

Thanks to a mention here, I downloaded the Walmart app and got an order to go through. Took from 9pm to 9:08pm,moving one step at a time with lots of loading but it went through. I immediately got a fraud alert txt from my bank about the purchase but said allow as fast as I could. Got an email confirmation from Walmart about 5 minutes later so I think I'm in the clear. Fucking heart was racing the entire time. Still paranoid the order could be screwed due to the bank but I'll have to wait and see. I would definitely recommend the app.

I couldn't get through.

Sorry you still couldn't get one. I was busy all day so I didn't have a chance to try for one. My view has been so soured from that first night. And after these last couple weeks I've become perfectly content waiting until Jan-March if needed. Faster load times would be great, but there isn't a single new game I'm dieing to play. I'll try Walmart at 6pm. I told my son he gets my PS4 when I get the PS5 and he's been asking about it this week. Little man might just have to wait.
