They sent the same email for the Xbox preorder. They sent those emails are to cover their butt in case someone's system doesn't arrive on time.

Honest question, from an old who still games from time to time (LOVE Ghost of Tsushima) and some with my 11 yr old son... do all of you who are buying them right off the bat expect them to work flawlessly upon purchase, or do you fully expect to deal with a lot of bugs and hiccups?
Like I said I'm an old and I stick to the theory of not buying the 1st gen of new technology (yes, I know this is PS5, but still). So I'm legit wondering if I still need to do that and wait awhile or if I should just hop on the bandwagon and get one sooner rather than later.
Did you ever update on how it went?TriumphForks said:
GameStop in person preorders tomorrow. Have to reserve in person I believe when store opens. Checked my local GameStop and they will have 7. Plan to get out there at 6 am. They open at noon...
I secured the in-store preorder for launch day. Kind of nostalgic doing it the old school way camping out in front of the store... all made possible by working remotely due to COVID. They only had disc versions....no digitals available. Looks like the digitals are going to be extremely hard to come by.Tabasco said:Did you ever update on how it went?TriumphForks said:

Yessir. It is a disc version as well.Jim01 said:
You also had an Amazon preorder right? Was that disc as well or digital?
Haha, ouch! At least they're allowing external storage to be connected, but this feels like they cheaped out when they picked hard drives.tamusc said:

Yeah, they really cheaped out on developing an SSD from the ground up
Tech is great, but being able to actually fit more than one game on the drive is also rather important.Saxsoon said:https://www.tomsguide.com/news/ps5-ssd-is-so-fast-developers-need-to-redesign-their-gamesThe Fife said:Haha, ouch!

That is just one article. More than a few out there from other developers and tech sites say there currently isn't any SSD even on PC that is comparable.tamusc said:Saxsoon said:https://www.tomsguide.com/news/ps5-ssd-is-so-fast-developers-need-to-redesign-their-gamesThe Fife said:Haha, ouch!

I'm sure the VP of Epic Games saying that had nothing to do with Sony investing $250 million into Epic Games.
Also, while the direct storage access technology is new and very cool, it's also baked into the Xbox series X (and S, man I hate the new Xbox naming scheme), meaning it's likely included as part of RDNA2 (AMD's upcoming GPU architecture) and it's included in the NVIDIA 30-series GPUs that just launched. So, cool yes, but not something exclusive to Sony.

Right, because there wasn't any PC option for Direct Storage Access for the GPU when those stories were all written. The NVIDIA 30-series GPUs were the first available (if you can beat the bots to buy one) that have direct storage access. The new AMD RDNA2 (same GPU architecture as the PS5 and Series X/S) based GPUs will likely as well, but will have to wait to the end of the month for their official announcement to confirm.Saxsoon said:That is just one article.
