I had to go with a bundle at GameStop. Came with miles morales (good) and demons soul (bad), extra controller and a $20 gift card. All priced to MSRP but Demon Souls feels like a rip.

Demon souls is incredible. My favorite game I've played on PS5

Bad and not for you are two different things. Demon Souls seems to be a well made game, just one I'm really unlikely to play after trying Bloodborne and not really liking it.

Miles Morales, if you've played Spider-Man, is the bigger rip off if you are willing to play both games. Miles is like a 5 hour game. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't worth the money I paid relative to other games I could have bought.

Demon's Souls is not for everyone. If you are simply looking to pop in a game for some instant gratification and light hearted fun then it is probably not for you. If you are looking for an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding experience at the tradeoff that it can be frustrating at times and requires more effort and investment on the part of the player than it could be for you.

Miles was a 16-hour game for me. There's content there if you don't just mainline the campaign. Didn't feel like a rip at all.

And Demon's Souls was awesome.

Agreed. If you platinum Miles Morales there is plenty there to entertain and keep you busy for a while. I enjoyed it.

I know the souls games have their fans, I'm just not one of them. None of them have ever "clicked" with me. Same with JRPGs. I just don't get what people see in them. To each his own. There are plenty of games I love that people hate.

Follow this account, turn on notifications, you can try for other retailers, but Best Buy is far and away the easiest to acquire from, because they only do in store pick up, no shipping so it doesn't work well for bots. I follow a couple of accounts and this is generally the fastest.

https://twitter.com/botconsoles?s=21

They did a drop this morning and it was available for a long time at my local store. Easily could have bought one, but I already have one.

He also has his own site that does a pay per notification program so you can narrow down the number of alerts you get. Think it's $.20 per alert and you can specify product and retailers. Set it up for Best Buy and just the disc version or digital version and you'll get one on the first time you see the alert and get in queue. Shouldn't have to spend more than $5 on alerts to get one.

This is the narrowed notification site:
https://app.inventorybot.io/app/

Would be surprised if it took more than a month to get one. I could've bought 3 by now.

That account's notifications go out about 30 seconds before the other ones I follow. If you don't mind a lot of notifications the Twitter follow works just fine, it's the only thing I've used Twitter for. I haven't personally used the customized notification system, but imagine it functions just like his Twitter account, just only the important notifications.

I know it's a sign up through that site and a separate app that allows him to push notifications, but have not set it up/can't give you advice on how.

There's no way to filter notifications on the Twitter feed and I've never used the pay service, so not sure on that.

Crazy how a few months ago I was obsessed with getting one, now I've almost completely forgotten they exist.

Will probably pick one up at one point when they are more available. Looks like the chip supply chain issues are affecting the entire electronics industry, even automobile manufacturing.

Stadium creator is only on next gen (PS5 and whatever the new xbox is called).

I assume it's the only way it's profitable enough to keep making on next gen. I won't switch because of it, but not sad if that's what it takes to keep it around. Still miss the tiger woods games and can't wait for the eventual ncaa game, which will probably take a few years to be good.

this is likely a dumb question, but what external SSD's work with the PS5? I've quickly ran out of space on mine.

wait, I guess I'm confused with this point:

So it has to be added internally?
Fenrir
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No, it has to be plugged directly to the PS5 and not through a USB hub.
