My launch digital model is quite noisy. Nothing like the PS4s I had, but noticeably louder than my Series X.

Nothing will ever be louder than a launch Xbox 360.

Launch PS3 was. PS4 and Pros both definitely were.

Impossible. I’ve never heard a noise in my life like the first few 360s I blew through.
Eventually found that shoving a credit card into the disc tray helped stop it vibrating quite so hard, brought the noise down to mere hurricane levels.

Only time my PS5 is noisy is sometimes when it decides to do a whirr of the disc drive. I can lift it up or apply a bit of pressure to the top and it will stop being noisy, so I assume it is something to do with the stand that makes it rattle in a really unnerving way. Tried moving the stand about to make sure it is properly fitted, but doesn't seem to make much difference. Stops after about 20 seconds, so isn't a big deal.
Besides that, it is really quiet.
It is one of the revised models from last year. Think those run a bit hotter than the original.

wunty the £70 thing would be better if that extra money was making its way I to the hand sof the creative people that made the game. It's not though, they didn't get a payrise or better working conditions and the publishers are pocketing the money. It is what it is though, you either accept that will be the cost of games or find another hobby. Or wait until they come down on cost after a few months.

Normally I can wait for a price drop but I get a bit nervous with games that have a bit of story, as it'll usually get spoiled whilst I wait for the price to come down.

I've somehow avoided spoilers for the original GoW for the past four years, so think I'm good. Or I've read them and forgotten all about it by the time I play the game.
Something like Ratchet & Clank felt like a justifiable £70 (well, £46 for me IIRC), but cross gen titles like this that are cheaper on PS4 are a bit of a pisstake.

I know they arent having trouble selling consoles but actually penalising people for having the new hardware has always seemed a bit fuckheaded.

It is what it is though, you either accept that will be the cost of games or find another hobby. Or wait until they come down on cost after a few months. Indeed. That's the way it always is isn't it. i think I like to kid myself on that I'm paying the talent directly but as with music and film and everything else, it's very rarely the ones who put the hours in that get the dividend. From my own consumer point of view though, it still, in essence, amounts to the same thing, which is in line with your latter point. I do also still believe that in terms of value for money based on hours of entertainment and the experience in itself, it's still an amount that I can justify the 2 or 3 times a year I pay full whack.
Think it was RE7 and Deathloop last year. This year was Dying Light 2, Elden Ring and the third will be Callisto Protocol.
Spend twenty times that in sales mind you but that's me for you. An impulsive flake.

I'm much the same mate. It does push me away from impulse buys though so square enix are unlikely to get much more out of me.

I caved and bought GoW:R. Feeling a hypocrite as don’t like the price point.
I did really love the first game and it’s one I’ve looked forward to for ages. It is the first £70 game I have bought, and there is not much else on the horizon I’m desperate to play on release day.
That’s my justification, until the next time.

My justification is I loved the previous GOW (and all the other GOWs, too) and the spectacle is somehow "worth" it. Kind of like a new console gen, where all you're really getting are new shinies. So far, I am not disappoint.
Some slightly cheaper PSN credit helped, too.

Quick PS5 noise update…
My new God of War PS5 bundle arrived and it is a new “1200” model: CFI-1216A to be precise.
Yeah, it’s basically the same as my previous launch machine. Practically silent, except when the disk drive is spinning which seems to rev up in much the same way as the launch model did.
It’s nice that it’s drawing a bit less power (according to the internet), but otherwise it’s basically no different as far as normal use is concerned.
I’m relieved to find all my cloud saves are safely there and the setup allowed me to deactivate my old PS5 and enable this as my primary one.
The biggest inconvenience is I now have about 600GB of downloading to do…
Anyway, it’s nice to be back!

Ooooh, that's excellent news on the noise front. Fourth time's the charm then! It was as t'internet expected: the big drop over Spring and Summer had the cheapo noisy fans in. Seems like they've solved it, based on this highly scientific sample of one unit.

Hi All,
I live in Spain but my PS5 is set to Ireland. Looking to get the collectors edition of Horizon Forbidden West but it comes with a digital download. Will this work on my PS5? I know PSN credit doesn’t work between different regions but not sure about actual game codes.

Pretty sure you'll need to create a new account on the Spanish PSN for that code to work. You can create the account and set it up on your console and set the machine as the primary for that account, then just log back into the other account to play it. Same kind of shenanigans people have to do to get cheap Turkey PSN bargains.
I guess you can always try it on your Irish account first and if it doesn't work, create a new account.

How much do we reckon the Horizon VR game will be separately? Wondering whether I should get the bundle - the game is an extra £40.
Oh it's £60, listed on the store already. Meh, I'll just get the hardware for now.

The touchpad on my ps5 is totally borked - I can see when trying to type on a keyboard using it it’s all over the place. Feels like it needs some sort of reset to see if that sorts it? Anyone got any tips or has this before?

There's a reset pinhole on the back.

Nice. What is the streaming quality like with premium? Seems like Extra is preferred option, but for 10 extra might give it try?
