The LG Cx OLEDs are pretty amazing too. IQ paired with my PS5 is just beautiful. I have the CX55.

It finally took it to the next step and wanted my email.
Then they sent me an authorization code for the checkout.

Crap, I may have gave up too quickly

I did keep it in my cart. Maybe next time I can go straight to checkout…

It’s annoying that retailers seem to be doing absolutely nothing to make this a better customer experience. No bot thwarting software, no special checkout, no nothing. You just get thrown into a lottery with a bunch of bots and fight them through every single step of the checkout process. PS5 is only available for store pickup? WTF? Is this 2005 or something? Grrrrrr. I guess as long as they get their money they can care less….

Nah, they pay lip service to the problem, but truth be told they're making out just fine. $$ are $$ and that's the bottom line.

This week, a surprising new number enters the conversation: 40 fps, a standard previously unattainable thanks largely to TV standards. It comes courtesy of a new patch to this month's Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PlayStation 5, which already includes a 60 fps "performance" option. So why would anyone pick 40 fps instead? And how does it work?

No clue what this is talking about, just want to show Ratchet and Clank (and Rivet) more love!

Mangler · Jul 1, 2021, 12:18 PM

It's pretty simple, 40fps on 120hz display feels way smoother than 30 on 60hz.

Why the hell doesn't PS5 support freesync?

Heh, I get that but it really sounds like Insomniac went way out of their way to give their players the best possible experience with what they have to work with. I dunno why the PS5 doesn't do VRR but neither does my new AppleTV 4k yet both supposedly have HDMI 2.1 ports. Seems like HDMI 2.1 is a choose your own feature set standard.

SD-[Inc] · Jul 3, 2021, 02:57 PM

Not being able to get a PS5 just got a whole lot crappier.

**Lazy8s** · Jul 3, 2021, 07:13 PM

Ouch - little salt added to the wound...

Tyr-Sog · Jul 5, 2021, 07:24 AM

Last night I got back into town off of vacation. I swung by BB last minute to grab my patiently waiting PS5.
She's still in the box just waiting for the initial opening foreplay!

**SirBaron** · Jul 6, 2021, 11:27 AM

Does the 3D audiotech work any better on the official pulse 3D headset than it would on one like the Rig 800HS?

I don't know how I feel about having to pay for the Director's Cut. I get that there's an "expansion" included, but those of us on PS5 who bought the game on PS5 .. I kind of feel like I'm getting boned.

I already bought it, though.

I haven’t bought……yet

Got my hands on a PS5 finally. Astros playroom is kind of nifty for a free game. I have nothing else on the console yet.

No, and it's not any better than any other audio tech IMO.

If you're into hardcore, give Returnal a shot. True next gen, but keep sedatives nearby lol.

Ghost of Tsushima is a PS4 title, but it shines on the 5. Great game and looks ridiculously amazing on an OLED.

SD-[Inc] · Jul 22, 2021, 02:24 PM

I am about to give up on a PS5 retail purchase. Walmart had a drop today and the demand basically crashed Walmart.com. Here is what it says when I tried to just go to www.walmart.com:

This is ridiculous. After you wait 5 minutes to actually get in and try and search for PS5 you get nothing but sever errors. This is ludicrous and beyond frustrating. Bots must be multiplying to the point of making this pointless. I think I'll wait till some time in 2022 to try again.

Might be deep 2022 with Xmas probably taking all stock for a long time.

TBH I don't think this system has the games to justify trying to get one so badly.

**Lazy8s** · Jul 23, 2021, 08:11 AM

I think the PS5 refresh will be out before they’re widely available. I got super lucky…I wasn’t even shopping for one when I got mine. Otherwise I’d still be on the 4 Pro
