Demon's Souls is still my favourite exclusive so far. Just such a beautiful game.

Is the PS5 directors cut upgrade to Ghost of Tushima worth it? I loved it on PS4 and enjoy replaying big games.
Edit: I forgot to type the game name.

Yes, and the DLC is awesome! Plus I like the way they utilize the dualsense controller as well. Then you get the upgrade to native 4K instead of the checkerboard 1800p.Is the PS5 directors cut upgrade to Ghost of Tushima worth it? I loved it on PS4 and enjoy replaying big games.

Looks like PS5 is easier to get now, hopefully Sony finally got its act together.
Went to a tracker website on a whim, told me Walmart had them in stock, managed to order one with ETA before Nov 30.
Then a day later got invitation from Amazon, so cancelled the Walmart one since it was not going to ship until end of the month and got the one from Amazon.

Just upgraded my PS5 storage with a 2TB Kingston Fury Renegade SSD. €199 was a decent price imo. 
Edit: I got the be quiet! MC1 heatsink too.

Alrighty so wife came home with the disc Ragnarok ps5 console bundle. Gonna pick up a few games and an extra controller soon... Wondering what I should do about a bigger SSD hard drive though. Are there any current good deals on large internal SSD drives? Do I need to replace the drive first before using the ps5 or could I move things around with an external etc?

Also, can we play ps4 games off an external drive? I can Google all that but don't remember, seems like we couldn't for a while? Most of my ps4 library is physical.

Yes. I use a 1TB Samsung T5 to play all my PS4 games off of and cold storage some PS5 games I am putting on ice for a while. I went with the T5 over the T7 since the T7 tends to run too hot (some say it's just an overlocked T5 with DRAM cache removed) and the T5 runs nice and cool. PS4 games load much faster to boot. Much, much faster, actually.

Thank you! i don't know what half that means haha but i did search and find that everyone states you can unplug the external on your PS4 and use it on the PS5. Sweet.
How many PS5 games can generally be stored on the stock internal? I'm not going to go crazy buying PS5 games as Xbox is still my primary system, but wondering if purchasing a pricey replacement internal SSD is worth it or not - at least initially?

Depends on the size of the game. On average, the games are 20-30% smaller than they are on the PS4/XSX due to the Kraken compression the PS5 uses. I still have yet to fully use it up, since I no longer packrat game installs. Here are my current installs on both drives. What is nice too, is that PS4 games can be set (it's on by default when one is plugged in) to install on the external.

Alright maybe i'll stick with the stock internal for now... i dont' play to install tons on it anyway. Is there a way to transfer games on the internal to a new internal or does that just take shuffling internal games to external and then into the new internal once installed? There is only one internal bay right? Don't remember.

Planning on using this basically as a Sony exclusives machine. So far the physical games i've picked up for it are Ragnarok with the system, Demon's Souls, Nioh Collection, Spiderman Ultimate, Sackboy LBP, Ghost of Tsushima. I plan to pick up Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Stray. We have Horizon 1 & 2 and Days Gone and Gow1 on PS4. I might eventually pick up Sifu TLoU 1&2 when they are cheaper. Are there any other major 1st party titles i'm missing that i need to buy? Prob going to skip GT7.

I think the best headset to experience the feature itself is indeed the 3D Pulse, however you have other headsets that are capable of using the feature.
Bare in mind that the game also needs to support 3D audio, otherwise your better of having the feature off.

As someone who thought of buying them a couple of months back, I ended up going another way.
They are a good enough headset for the PS5, but that's it. If you're looking for a more versatile headset within the same budget, that also works as a solid PC headset, there are better options.
Plus, from what I've read the 3D Pulse's ear cushions are not very comfortable if you plan to use the headset for relatively long periods.
With that in mind, I ended up getting a SteelSeries Arctis 7P+, which works great on PC, has comfortable ear cushions and also supports the tempest engine from Sony.

Almost double the price though.... Darn it
Thanks for your post though man
Welp, was checking the prices for the 7P+, and they're definitely more expensive now. I got mine for around 110€, 3 months ago.

Man this was a good time to jump back into the playstation ecosystem... most of their really good games are on sale for $20-30 right now. For some reason i usually opt for physical games on PS but digital on XB. Too bad TLoU, Horizon, GoW aren't really on sale right now. I have those digitally/ps4 versions i'd like to upgrade physical ps5 discs but not gonna pay $50-70 for games i've already played.

You're gonna like them, for the price it's a really solid headset across all devices.

PS Plus has almost all of Sony's catalog from the previous gen. PS Plus Extra would give you almost everything tbh. Horizon, God of War are there. TLOU Remake is on sale as we speak. TLOU2 for PS4 is also discounted (this one isn't on PS Plus yet).

So much Hentai!
I'm a massive advocate for digital media but I started collected physical media this year (PS3, Wii, Gamecube, Xbox, 360, XB1 and Blu-ray movies) and it's completely changed my view on the matter.
Yes there are many positives about digital but god damn you can't beat having your collection on show with some nice shelving units in your room!
Most of the big releases for 2023 I've already pre-ordered digitally but all the ones in-between I'll be surely getting physically now to aid the collection.

Yep, easy peasy lemon squeezy. Just log in and make the PS5 primary, and your library will be right there.

And I did not realize you were playing GT7 on the PS4, you will be in for a treat on the PS5.

I'd grab another one, but I already have 2 backups.
Now I have the white, black, and cosmic red.

My Playstation Plus finally ran out on the 21st and Sony dangled a £25 twelve month membership carrot and I didn't buckle.
