PS5

Hi all. Hoping you can help me and new to console gaming. I bought a second hand original PS4 at the beginning of the year. Today I took the plunge to PS5. Awaiting delivery.

I have some questions…

1. Was a correct in thinking R11 800 for a brand new PS5 disk edition with 2 controllers is a great buy in current market?

2. I preordered the new FIFA (which is not FIFA - EAFC 24). I had purchased that a couple weeks ago. Still hasn’t released so not downloaded yet. Will that be available for my PS5 although when I bought game I had no PS5 linked to my account.


The support on PS5 website is painstaking and live chat seems to be only BOT.

Thanks in advance
Where from?

Yes that’s a great price. Assuming you bought from a reseller and not an actual store as no store has them at that price.

The Fifa will depend on which version you purchased. If you bought the PS4 version then you’re stuck with that. My advice is to check that first and if true do not download it. Contact PlayStation support and ask them to refund you and order the PS5 version.

They’re basically different games so you won’t be playing against the same player base.

I'm sure the Bloodborne remaster rumor mill is in full swing again
 
What's funny, to me that is, is that Baldurs Gate 3 has actually been a timed console exclusive for PS5. Courtesy of MS themselves. Although I read now that MS is allowing the goalposts to widen slightly in order to enable it being released.

Yeah I was very surprised seeing it on the PS5.

I thought it was PC first and console much later only.
 
Larian are true wizards, they even have a macOS version coming in Sept.

Yeah I’ve been keeping an eye on this as well since I have an Apple family and it’s a rare event.

I thought it was already on Steam for Mac.

Do you mean there’s a direct AppStore version coming?

Might still hang out for the console version though and the split screen option. It’s really a game for my wife not me, but would be keen to coop.

I think that is the early access version only. Full version coming 21st.

And for some reason I can't embed this link:

See this is why I hate early access because I was surprised when this game launched a few months ago as I thought it had been out for years.

Would much prefer an AppStore version.

It’s nice to see the big studio shift happening towards Apple in general. Now if only we could get a native Xbox app on MacOS I could remote play everything.
 
Does anyone know if the Spiderman console covers are still somehow on sale somewhere? Was this ever on sale at stores? I bought the Spiderman controller on Koodoo but I can't remember seeing the plates.
 
Anyone know if using a 3 prong ground power cord with the PS5 would cause any issues or damage?

My stock cable is super loose and I do have a C8 cord laying around but it's a 3 prong and not the standard 2 prong.

On a side note, is there any reason Sony has shipped all their consoles with an ungrounded 2 prong instead of a 3 prong?

Wouldn't this be the company doing the distribution rather (i.e. Koodoo or) ? Here in the UK they come with proper 3 prong fused plugs etc.

Kaapie infiltrated the PS5 design team and corrupted the design so it would ensure the world will blow up on 29.09.2099

There is no need for a ground.
