Has anyone actually managed to buy a PS5 yet?

[Kurt Angle]

Finally got a PS5 yesterday. Actually 2 because my brother wanted one as well. 

I have been playing that free Astro game and it’s actually pretty good and I also signed up to PSN plus as it was half price for the year at 24.99. Loads of free downloads on PSN plus to try so I grabbed Crash Bandicoot. It looks really nice with the updated graphics.

awesome kurt angle.  if you don't mind, can you take a picture of your ps5 with it turn on with a game running and the tv turns on as well?

is this crash bandicoot the ps4 remastered version that is ps5 backward compatible?  is this game running at 60 fps on your ps5?  also, would like to see a picture of this game running on the ps5 with the tv on too.  so may you take a picture of it and post it here too beside the first pic with a different game running?

[Kurt Angle]

I have attached a few pics which I hope  work. It’s currently plugged into a 32 inch TV.  Looks pretty nice and Crash Bandicoot is indeed the PS4 remastered trilogy. Having never had a PS4 I can now play loads of games I didn't get chance to. It looks really good on the PS5 and was free with PSN plus. I also got the 3D audio headset but not tried it yet.

The only minius point for me is that my internet connection isn't the greatest speed so it takes ages to download the games. It took 2 and a half hours to get Crash Bandicoot and I have just set it going downloading Uncharted 4 which it says 4 hours remaining! LOL

awesome kurt.  thank you for the pictures.  it just somehow makes me happy seeing the games, the console, and the tv on.

i also notice the snes classic box in the background in one of the pics.  nice.  what are your favorite games on the snes classic?  just for curiosity, what is your maximum download and upload internet speed if you don't mind me asking?

[Kurt Angle]

The SNES classic is a nice little machine. Mine is hacked so I have about 2000 games on it right now. It has pretty much all SNES master system NES Genesis and N64 games on it. Quite a lot of games to play lol.

My internet is about 25mb down and 5mb up which isn’t the best but it better than I used to have. The funny thing is my 4G cellphone has 50mb down and about 20mb up.

[Paul2]

wow, very nice i think.  2000 games, that is a lot.  cool.

25 mbps download speed and 5 mbps upload speed are not slow imo actually.  its still pretty fast though.  mine internet speed is 200 mbps download and i am not sure what the upload speed is though.  the internet modem i have is old and only supports up to 100 mbps download speed.  nearly 2 years ago, they told me to mail it away to switch to a new modem that supports 200 mbps download but for some reason the mailing method didn't work.  i tried chatting with them on their chat website and they told me to bring it over to one of their stores for a free switch upgrade but i don't know how to drive and i am bad at direction.

my middle brother knows how to drive but he doesn't seem like he wants to go so i am stuck at 100 mbps download speed.  its still fast but its a bit too expensive for what we have to pay every month.

Nice Kurt! Congrats! Maybe we can actually start talking about games on this site

[Kurt Angle]

Haha yes indeed. I have just played through Uncharted 4 as it’s free on PSN plus. What a great game and it looks amazing.

 

[Titan]

When you can get to it, get Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. It's a lot of fun. I never played a Ratchet and Clank game until then and I'm slowly starting to get the old ones on PS2 and PS3. Once I get them all (or the earliest ones lol) I'll start playing them in order.

[Kurt Angle]

I have played a few older Ratchet and Clank games, in fact there is one for free I may grab on PSN plus right now. The only problem with this new one is that it costs £60!

I have managed to platinum the Astro's playroom game that come with the machine. Its fairly easy to do as its more of a controller tutorial program really but its lots of fun!

[Titan]

I completely forgot Astro's Playroom existed. I may have to give it a try. With games costing 70 here in the states, my PS5 hasn't been turned on and gamed on in weeks lol. I'm playing Rage right now on PS3 but I think I'm gonna pick up Returnal soon. I got a 5 dollar coupon from Gamestop for the month so may as well use it lol.

Finally got my hands on one. Last one in the country from what i've been told.

Playing RDR2 on it and Ghosts (ps5 version)

[Titan]

Do you see a big difference with RDR2?

[Titan]

I started playing Miles Morales again. I didn't get to far when I stopped but I started fresh again and jumped back in. I'm actually pretty addicted now lol. I think when I'm done with this, I'll pick up the other Spiderman game on PS4.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

Do you see a big difference with RDR2?

No, just a lot quicker loading times and no frame rate drops. Graphically it's the same.
