I'd rather have the PS5 than the extra cash. Definitely don't close the case if the package is moving.

Yeah I wouldn't have paid for it if I would rather have the money. I just don't understand how they open and close an investigation, say it's lost, then update the delivery status to Wednesday. Just doesn't make any sense. It still hasn't been scanned since 3 AM Saturday in Philadelphia!

I just hope this doesn't turn into a DTE book situation for you.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Is it Pearl Jam related?

I'm too early to really say. I decided to go with the "Knight" class to start, though I hear "Royalty" is easier. Right now, it's probably comparable to Bloodborne?

HA

So, it's currently 5.5 hours away. I wonder how long it will be until it departs from that IL facility.

I might need to skip this entire forum until I get my hands on Demon's Souls. I started with Dark Souls, so this will be entirely brand new to me.

Happy for you gents, though. I've heard that it feels great.

I've heard it's the only truly next-gen game across either system.

Ok after playing Warzone at 120 fps last night on Series X, not sure how I ever played at 30.

What kind of TV do you have? Apparently, my 60 hz TCL will max out at 60 fps.

Depends on the definition, but yeah, most of these games weren't developed from the ground up for next gen. I know 2k21 for example is using a completely different engine, but has several assets from the previous gen.

If Demon's Souls is any indication, we are going to be treated to some absolutely stunning games in a year or two. I bet Ratchet and Clank next year will be a good showcase as well.

Samsung Q70. It can do 4k 60 but 1440x120. I’ve been switching settings between games to see the differences.
