Fuck Cyberpunk delayed! No......

 

Ok Demons it is, I'm still holding out a little longer for a price reduction if possible, it's released a week early right to coincide with the US release?

 

 

Also this from the usgamer article is a little worrying as mine will need to be horizontal in my cabinet, he makes it sound like horiontal it's just resting on the plinth and is wobbly, how true that is I don't know:

The PS5 is a system that was obviously designed to stand upright. Not only is that what is shown on the box itself, but the stand further points to this conclusion. In the upright mode, the system sits in the divot of the stand, and a screw is used to affix it to the system. Setting it down on a table, I'm a bit dismayed by the form factor. In the horizontal position, the system just sort of… sits on the stand itself. Without the stand, the system wobbles. On the rear of the lower plate in the horizontal position, there's a pattern of PlayStation symbols to let you know where to hook the stand, but nothing actually attaches it to the system. If you move it forward a bit, sometimes the stand will just fall off. I would've preferred that the system be able to lay flat, or have another spot to screw in the stand when horizontal.

Same link posted earlier in the thread. Hopefully it's just bluster and it isn't wobbly, considering all the engineering that's gone into the thing I can't imagine it would suffer from wobbly-itis.

I'm going to struggle a little to sell my FAT PS4 but it shouldn't be too hard as it's not insanely different looking to the Slim/Pro. However, with the PS5 I am certain there will be radically improved looking models in the next 5 years that a FAT PS5 is just going to be unsellable. 

 

Also, I still have not ordered any games. There isn't really any games I really want? Not played dark souls before so maybe that? I liked spidey too so perhaps Morales? I'm weirdly more excited about replaying some old games with my new 4K tv and PS5 since I never upgraded to slim/pro.

 

I'm getting Assasins and Watchdogs too, for free :unsure:

Mine sold in under an hour on FB Marketplace 3 weeks ago.

Have you seen the shape of it? Course it’ll wobble without the stand.

No it suggests that it balances on the stand, as in it's not secured, that's how it reads anyway, I was sure it had some sort of clipping thing though.

Yeah, not sure. There definitely won’t be a big screw hole on the side to fasten it securely though. Not that it matters, once it’s in position, it won’t be going anywhere.

The teardown video showed the markings for where it should clip to, and it being pushed fairly firmly into place... guessing if it's not clipped on that exact spot, it'll wobble as it's not secure...

I know others have said it but the lighting on this is terrible. I genuinely couldn't see where to go when they were on the brown track through brown terrain part, and when they went past buildings & barns the shading was so flat it looked like previous gen, not next gen.
