Every PS generation I always wait for the slim version to come out and swoop in like Mix-a-lot for a phat.

Still waiting, I try a few times a week but it seems most sites are lost causes due to bots.
I don't need one until Horizon Zero Dawn 2 comes out, I'll hit up stockx at that point if I still don't have one. |

There are a lot of people out there who want it more than me. I’ll pick one up when they’re freely available on shelves and maybe cost a little less.

Scored one mid-December last year. Had to make a Twitter account, follow a bunch of accounts that posted restock alerts, and be quick and lucky. Took about a month of actually trying. Got mine through a Target restock at about 5:00am, and was able to pick it up a couple hours after ordering, which was nice.
I want to pick up another, but will wait til they are readily available. Fuck doing all that nonsense again. |

Quoted: Only took 9 months lol!. Got my invitation from SONY via email to purchase a PS5 yesterday. As soon as my time slot came, I hit the link in the email and in less than 5 mins I finally had one ordered! I've wasted so many hours trying to buy one with no luck. Until today! Anyone else still waiting to buy one? Congrats man, enjoy it That being said…… if your going to game, GAME. Buy an ASUS ROG STRIX motherboard, a $900 2070 MSI Graphics Card, with a water cooled system in a windowed case, and don’t play the game, BE the game |

I tried to get a PS5 for a few months. I had a PS4 but decided to give the new Xbox series X a try. I’m loving the game pass, just got done playing the shit out is the Back 4 Blood beta. Can’t wait for it to be on game pass.

Any time I sign up for anything, I always opt out of newsletters, offers/specials emails, etc. So I'm sure I did that when I made my PSN account. On the other hand, they might also be skipping people who have already logged into a PS5, which could be another reason for not getting an invitation. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I can think of at least 4 games in the God of War series how is it possible they're only on the 1st sequel? Are they all sub series? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Yea same, I'm probably just going to wait. Far Cry 6 will be cross generation, and God of War 2 isn't coming out till next year. Of course by then West Taiwan might have invaded Taiwan, and we might be wishing we'd bought one now .No, they started over with the names I guess. In 2018 they released God of War for PS4, which was a brand new game based on Norse mythology rather than Greek. It is a continuation of the series, though. I don't know why they named it the same as the 2005 PS2 title... annoying. Anyway, 2018 GoW won Game Of The Year and is so damn good. |

I pretty much only play COD. I'm just sick of how long it takes to install updates on the PS4. In case you didn't already know, you can turn on auto-updates. It just requires that you leave your console in Rest Mode. Works on PS4, too. It will automatically download and install updates (both game updates and system updates). The only thing that sucks is that you can't specify a time for it to check for updates. It checks daily, I think around 3-5am ET. Which probably works with most people's schedules, but for those who keep odd hours because of work, it might not be as useful. My PS4 stayed in Rest Mode for literally years, when not in use. Been doing the same with my PS5 since I got, too. |

I normally wait 2 years or so to get a new console when the next gen comes out. I have zero desire to be one of the people who get shit early or right when it comes out. Same with games. Has saved me much angst and not an insignificant amount of money.

Haven't bought one yet, but haven't really tried since the initial month after it dropped.
Follow a guy a Twitter that does restock notices and get the notifications all the time but haven't grabbed one as there really aren't any games I'm super excited about currently. Will grab one closer to when Horizon Forbidden Wilds drops. |

Another random tip for those that might not know: For the monthly free games, you can "claim" them by adding them to your library, without actually downloading them. Once it's added to your library, they're yours to keep (as long as your PS+ subscription is active) and you can download them any time you want. Helps save some space.
I hear Sony is finally having end-users test the internal storage option for the PS5 and will be activating it within the next update or two. Bout damn time. |
