Finally, time to install my Pro and download a shitload of games.

The eagle has landed! Just transferring data over. It looks like someone went up to my OG, and squashed it. Slim, discrete and solid. Though still want black plates. Think I preferred the OG's led strip position. But yeah decent well built bit of kit.
 
Couldn't justify £700 in one go but EE had it for £35 upfront and then £60 for 11 months so in that sense it feels like I'm not paying that much for it! I call that a win.
 
You guys are making it hard for me to wait a few more weeks. If people start reporting improved PSVR2 I might have to trade in my current PS5 for a 2nd Pro to be used as a the "VR machine" or to upgrade the one at my daughter's house.
 
Amazon still says the 11th but if were to order it right now it says I could get in on the 9th wtf is going on Amazon
 
Mine was delivered, the setup was nice and easy, attached the disk drive no problem then ran into trouble re attaching the bloody cover, booted up logged in and paired my Edge controller, Portal and pulse explore buds, the Edge does carry over your custom profiles too which is a added bonus, unplugged put the M.2 from base PS5 in, struggled to re attach the cover again 🤣, after nearly losing my rag when I finally did everything was there no issues at all.

First game booted up Astro Bot a game not enhanced as wanted to get this weeks speed run planet out of the way🤦‍♂️, then onto F1, it's a game I play continuously and has had lots of praise over the pro enhancement and wow the difference was night and day instantly in both quality and performance mode, am now moving onto Roft Apart Ratchet is one of my favourite game franchises and during the until release my grandfather was ill and eventually died, I have not touched it since so am jumping in fresh with shiny with the new pro enhancements.
 
Thought of i stalling it in the bedroom but thats a cock block from the missus. Gonna give it to my sis
Same boat as me then, she'd throw a fit if this behemoth appeared in the bedroom, she only likes small things in there.. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I would give it to the lad but it'll just become another dust collector

Might just box it, chuck it into the hoard cupboard.

It's not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean.

Alright, I got my email and my shit is supposed to arrive today.

I'm thinking of giving it a week to prevent hardware damage so I can get that first post launch patch before running the machine.

Did the same with PS5 actually.

I'm an IT guy. I baby my favorite machines which is a sharp contrast for how I treat everything else. If you baby your machine you will be able to tell much quicker when an issue arises and have confidence in the cause. That is how I stay in the game.

If you are the guy who buys my launch PS5, you are lucky, you got a mint one that was only used in a cool, dry, dark open space with infinite air flow and only the best games and only after their first post launch patch.

"Uh, somebody grew this guy. Fed him honey and nightshade. Kept him warm. Somebody loved him."
 
Claims by M ManaByte that everyone would be required to buy a brand new disc drive and that current ones can't be transferred over are complete bullshit. I know.....manabyte was wrong? Shocking


What you playing first?

Think I'll be Bloodborning it personally, then The last Guardian me thinks 🤔

My disc original Until Dawn might get a look too

I still gotta finish Metaphor. lol....not exactly the graphical masterpiece to break in my Pro. I'll probably find something on the enhanced list to try out. Not sure yet.

Mine now has pride of place under the TV and is currently in rest mode whilst filling its belly with some games. It is much smaller and lighter than I expected, and is super quiet - though I haven't actually booted up any games yet.

I'm going to check out the following over the next few days:

Spider-man 2, F1 2024, NMS, FF7:R, Alan Wake 2, Kayak VR, Dragon's Dogma 2 and Stellar Blade. I'll add my impressions as and when.
when i get mine i will be filling up to max i got a 8tb ssd so that is 9 and a half tb yes i know i am a madman.
 
Hey fella US Pros. I've got some business here and I need your help to handle it.

I have NOT gotten my preorder email from Sony. However, approx 3 hours ago I got a UPS notification for next day air stating that I would need to be home to sign for a package.

I suspect that they printed my label but have not yet billed my card or shipped my shit....sounds kinda off but okay.

You can help. My UPS email says "From: SIE ATL NPI"

Is that what yours says for your pro, or something? I think maybe SIE = Sony Interactive Entertainment, ATL = shipping from atlanta(maybe), and NPI, I have no idea....

Any help? I order a lot of stuff so this could be totally separate but I don't recall a package besides my pro expected tomorrow.
Yes.
