Bloody digital version??? Seems a rip to me.

I’m waiting to see what the specs are and if it’s backwards compatible. And for them to iron out the bugs.

I'm not clear why I would buy digital versions of a game when I can get physical versions for cheaper - and then sell them when I'm done with them.

'Mostly' backward compatible with PS4.

Almost all of the 100 most played games are fully compatible, and thousands in total, but not all.

XB is doing an interesting job of it as apparently oyster is backward compatible with XBOne, 360 and the original XB

Is that turns out to be true, that's bloody impressive.

Digital all the way for me.

I've got kids and they destroyed 4 copies of Minecraft before I bought a digital copy.

I now love not having to hunt down discs, and have boxes cluttering up my house.

PC (which I already have) and a Series S on subscription (at £20.99 pretty month) for me, as it comes with XBox Game Pass Ultimate (PC & XB games Netflix like library), XCloud (streamed games), EA Access (EAs digital games) and I get a small console that the can sit by the TV.

I'll pick up a PS5 when it drops in price to play the exclusives on.

I bought one. Here's hoping they're all sold out for Christmas so I can bang it on eBay for £100 profit.

Not bothering for launch, which is the first time since PS3. By the time the price had come down to a reasonable level (disc version), there are a good selection of games and they realise the HDD is too small, then I'll probably get one. Glad to see it's compatible with my PSVR though

I’ll be hoping to preorder when another retailer drops it at midnight. I’ll get the physical edition as I tend to buy the collectors editions of the games, which typically includes a lovely steel book for the disc.

I always thought a bigger tv would make the experience better but tbh I preferred a smaller tv its easier to focus

And I probably wont buy this ps5 and wait for them to release ps5 slim or pro whatever they release after a year from launch

Never had a slim one

All my ps are launch day models so always normal ones

Tv style I thinks preference. If in living room I have larger tv in man cave I have 21” but sit closer and different feel to gaming
