Bigger than your fridge, absolute unit.

I'm so jealous. I've got some games arriving today but it's going to be a tough week until next Thursday.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm not gonna play anything apart from Astro until the new telly arrives.

Oh yeah good, your current one looks awful.

RTX 3080 due to hit my doorstep today, excited to say the least

Before and after quick benchmarking
My old card's maximum FPS is lower than the new cards absolute minimum

Come on that's totally unrealistic, the sides are curved so the TV would slide off.

I kinda want one now - the hype train has caught up with me. what's my best option? wait for those retailers who are restocking on release day?

If you're desperate for release day, you'll probably pay a premium. Seems extremely unlikely that Sony will go into the holiday season without stock, so doubt you'll wait too long if not.

Yeah there will be some stock for online order/click & collect on release day but unsure what time they'll go live, it'll be stock from shops that can't be open due to the lockdown so try ones like Currys rather than online only like AO.

I'm not ganting to have it on release day but would be nice to have for christmas time - so will keep an eye out for stock

I wouldn't be counting on a restock before xmas. There will be some spare stock due to the lockdown and Sony telling their retailers not to do any in person sales but it's unknown when the next wave will arrive in shops.

Hoping Curry's have some, so i can get one with the new tele

I just want to play PS4 games with stable frame rates and no loading. that is the dream to me

Warzone: practice w the bots in the training BR helped a load, got a few kills in the games I played after
HOWEVER
just started a 3p coop game of stardew valley, all free time is gone

Game have said they'll have some online stock on launch day

Congrats.

I'm looking forward to getting mine and playing all the PS exclusives I've missed out on.

Fuck me it's ugly though. I'd be looking for any way possible to get it hidden in the cabinet if I were you.

Our company Xmas gift is an apple watch.. I've managed to turn mine into a new XBox. Thinking of placing the order early tho. Trying to get one before the new CoD is unlocked

think in the end I levitated and killed from above.

This was my method. Dlc 1 was good but felt a bit dull storywise for me - it had its moments. Obviously made up for by the fact that combat is just so much darn fun. The final fight of dlc1 was tough - tougher than any in the main game I thought.

Making me want to go back and get dlc2.

Just got to this, has a similar feel to the ashtray maze. Haven’t completed it yet

Out tomorrow isn't it?

Good point. Better check the shops tomorrow

Yeah, the "drive" behind it and the music is exceptional.

My Xbox arrived in the end, started the Alan wake dlc, so tentalising. I loved Alan wake. Only had time for 20 mins though.

wizbru did a wonderful Alan Wake episode recently.

their podcast is always worth a listen if you're into obscurish geek bollocks.

Think I’m about halfway through dlc1, it’s been enjoyable. Trying not to rush through it though, despite wanting to jump into dlc2.
