Popular Post fresquinho Posted April 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) AFTER 5 FRUSTRATING MONTHS FIGHTING MOTHERFUCKING SCALPERS I was FINALLY able to secure a PS5 system for myself with Spider Man Miles Morales included... How? I tried to ask on a local gaming store if there was a possibility of any employee to order a PS5 for me so that I could pick it up physically from the store and the guy was able to do it. I had tried every method I could think of to get a system and no luck until 7 days ago... I am in fucking tears, it took 1 week to arrive and I will be picking my console tomorrow. I am a little worried about the drifting problem I see in many Dualsense controllers but I hope nothing happens to mine... I am also super excited for Spider Man, SackBoy Adventure and Watch Dogs Legion because those are three games that I really like, for now I am gonna platinum Spider Man and try some PS5 platinums from the PS Plus service (I have been downloading every single game), then I will get SackBoy and Legion. Also I am curious about the new Assassins Creed game, it's been four years since I played an AC game! I just hope nobody murders me while I leave the store to enter my vehicle tomorrow. I also hope I do not die in a horrible car crash too, I have been waiting for this moment for too long. Please guys, DO NOT give up. I know you can do it too.

I agree, though, the situation is a joke. Thank you very much guys, it is an extremely hilarious story yes, it is incredible how it is so hard to get one system 5 MONTHS AFTER RELEASE. I had tried every method I could think of to get a system and no luck until 7 days ago... It was a miracle, the employee at the local gaming store said that they only get like 5 PS5 to 10 in like.. three weeks to four weeks and they sell out immediately. I really feel bad for everyone that could not get it yet, I know the feeling of frustration. I cannot wait to put my hands on this system, I am extremely happy that I also got Spider Man with it too and I have been dowloading PS Plus PS5 games from the PStore on my phone so I have a little extra to play! Thank you!!!! (I'm just extremely worried about the PS5 Dualsense drifting that I see everywhere) Edited April 3, 2021 by fresquinho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Ha_Ha Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I had to enlist the help of a friend to set up Chrome extensions to find listings. He ended up snagging me a console after a month or two. As it is, I've barely used it lol... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to buy a new controller for the PS5 because I was getting stick drift on the left stick (kept drifting upwards - wasn't really that noticeable whilst playing - noticed it more so on map screens or inventory, two point hospital was a nightmare though, try placing a machine on the grid whilst its trying to float upwards haha!), new controller seems really stable though, had no more issues! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted April 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2021 Congratulations mate ? Trying to secure one has been like trying to take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut? I’ve pretty much decided to just wait a year and try then - if I happen to stumble across one, then i’ll go for it, but in the mean time, eh, screw it. I reckon I got like a decades worth of unplayed games on my PS4, so those will tide me over ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really hope nothing happens to my controller I really don't wanna send the entire damn console back because of a controller (yes thats how things normally work here).

den-69 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Now you can enjoy playing all your PS4 games with a worse UI lol People who can't get one are only really missing out on Demon's Souls and Astro's Playroom tbh. Nothing much out in terms of exclusives for PS5. I've used the controller more than the PS5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I understand that I have like 582095738 PS4 games in my digital library lmao, but I was really really excited for the new console I seriously could not wait much more time. This is my VERY FIRST TIME EVER buying a console after it's "launch", I have always waited for the Slim versions of consoles so I really hope I do not regret this decision. Waiting is smart I understand that. I hope you love yours when you get it bro!! Thank you for your positive comment and ignore that dude. 6 minutes ago, den-69 said: Now you can enjoy playing all your PS4 games with a worse UI lol People who can't get one are only really missing out on Demon's Souls and Astro's Playroom tbh.

Demon Souls is not my thing, but I've heard many positive things about that one, it should be a really great game for the fans of that genre! Thank you! HAHA, I will see how's the UI tomorrow and experience it for myself! Edited April 3, 2021 by fresquinho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think its a massive wide spread issue with the controllers. I hear a lot more people saying they've never had issues, I've never really been unlucky with Sony products so I was just more than happy to buy a replacement. So happy more and more people are beating the scalpers! Enjoy your PS5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruh I literally wanted to hug the employee and scream the loudest I could but I didn't want the security to kick me off the store. That guy was amazing, he said that consoles are EXTREMELY HARD to get into their own stores because Sony is sending almost NOTHING. He was awesome, he felt the excitement I had in my eyes when he finally confirmed that a console was coming for me! I really wanna play Spider Man MM and Sackboy Adventures, I am a huge fan of these two games. I also wanna try the new AC, the last time I played an AC game was in like 2018 holy crap!

I had drift on a dualshock 3. I noticed when playing Ratchet and Clank. I think the whole controller was messed up though. It would open the inventory wheel on its own and he would move where he wanted to go. It was frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very curious about the PS5 slim/pro versions, I might just wait for those. Hopefully they sell them way better than the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnichoj Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I think it took me like six months when the original Wii came out. Online shopping wasn't all encompassing as it is now so a bunch of us would keep waking up early in the morning, heading to whatever store was getting cargo shipments and wait for hours just to have an employee come out and tell us they didn't get any Wii's in. I had to go to stores on very loose rumors from GameFAQs posters. The irony is Microsoft announced the Xbox 360 Elite model was coming out which I snagged a pre-order for no problem and mostly forgot about my Wii. Since the whole Wii fiasco I've somehow managed to get every base console at launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordguwa Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) on the Assassin Creed Valhalla game. i was lucky enough to snag the ps4/ps5 ultimate version for 73-78$ it has gone on sale several times just depends if you want extra stuff on it (cheaper for the base version of course).

I am willing to bet each generation of console moving forward will be worse for trying to get one, until Sony and Microsoft are only producing 1 or 2 consoles a month at release, continuing until 3 years after launch lol.
