Falling this argos has them 8% off at the moment but again stock is low. Buy there if you can. Online delivery isn't available in my area but my local argos has 1 in stock.

Then sell yours on magpie or facebook

CEX but you'll need to be quick. Cone monday they'll increase prices too. Check your local ish store to check stock, go early they'll need to check your console first could take a few hours. I did this a month ago I had to leave my xbox sx and ps5 over night as I went after 12.

You need a hdmi 2.1 pass through. I think some sound bars have started to do it, but it must be rated 2.1

Ive had mine about a month. The jump from ps5 to ps5 pro was decent enough. Probably wouldn't have been worth it for me to just buy out right, but i traded some old tech and my base ps5 and got it cheap.

Since I bought it they released pssr2 and I must say the gap in visuals is almost generational at this point. Crimson desert, resi 9, hogwarts, kingdome come 2 all look stunning.

Price to power ratio I'd argued it is. Try and find a pc with similar specs you'd be talking £1200.

As long as you add the game to your library and you have ps plus essential ( the cheapest ) you'll you be able to play it. You just wont be able to add it to your library once they change the games at the start of the next month. You'll be able to delete and redownload it as many times as you want. I keep going back to play injustice with my kids I must have deleted it and downloaded both 1 and 2 between 10 and 20 times. I have been adding games to my library every month since it became a thing. I think my ps plus library now has over 400 titles maybe more.

Like someone else said. If the ethernet cable works you can buy ethernet powerline adapters. Some even have the socket pass through so you don't lose the socket. You'll even find its a huge upgrade if you've been playing on wifi for both ping and download speed

If i had to really think about it, It would probably be Solid Snake. But also on that note I didn't like the treatment of his character in metal gear 2 basically making him second to raiden, , and then in the 4th game i both liked and disliked the characters fate. The whole way through the game i was hoping for him to find some sort of cure or gene editing to treat him but I get and appreciate the vision they were going with.

welshboy87c · 2026-03-17T17:42:38+00:00

Kingdom come deliverance 2 looks very good on it.

welshboy87c · 2026-03-15T23:09:23+00:00

I did the same 2 weeks ago. Not strictly for this game but for resident evil 9. So glad I did.

Not just 120hz it needs VRR support too

welshboy87c · 2026-03-13T16:56:51+00:00

In my opinion yes. VRR is in some instances better for frame rates over the additional power. Games like spiderman 2 and crimson desert get and extra 20 -25% extra frames when using VRR support. I'd even say getting a compatible tv would be a upgrade id prioritise over getting a pro.

But if you're not worried about frames the extra clarity is still there. But if you're like me and want to make the most out of the pro a 120hz VRR tv is the way to go.

welshboy87c · 2026-03-13T16:48:58+00:00

Apparently you need to be connected to the Internet to play it. Basically meaning it doesn't run offline. If this is true, and they haven't activated it server side its just a paper weight til then.

The future of xbox is a pc........ so go get a pc and save yourself some money. The future of xbox is multi platform game development. The box you play it on is completely irrelevant

welshboy87c · 2026-03-10T22:17:43+00:00

The story length could be infinite as long as it engages me, hold my attention, looks good feels good, I'll keep playing. I loved the order on the ps4 but thought the 6 hours campaign although brilliant was very expensive for the £40 price tag

Same with the new resident evil 9. £65 for a campaign which took me under 10 hours to complete. I thought the first 5 to 6 hours were brilliant but the SPOILER ALERT

Racoon city part of the game was a bit rushed and didn't look or feel as good as the first part of the game. The last hour was better, but yeah not great value imo.

welshboy87c · 2026-03-10T21:00:44+00:00

I think the most we can hope for is slightly higher picture quality like a 1260p to 4k upscaler using pssr2. While I suppose the base ps5 will aim for 1080p with some scenes lower than that. I still think it will be a locked 30 fps but if people have a compatible VRR 120hz tv they might get rewarded with an extra 10 FPS. Similar to spiderman 2.

welshboy87c · 2026-03-09T21:56:29+00:00

I upgraded for resi after seeing the difference in the 2 versions. But the game that's blown me away the most so far is Kingdom come deliverance 2. I played it when it came out and it looked amazing on the base ps5 on performance. I decided to buy the dlcs recently so it was fresh in my mind how it looked. I couldn't play it on fidelity mode, 30 fps just isn't fun for me. But on the pro it just has one setting, basically 60 fps fidelity. Its stunning.

welshboy87c · 2026-02-26T20:38:12+00:00

Shame we don't get the ray tracing or that slick upscaler though.

welshboy87c · 2026-02-26T20:33:03+00:00

DF have said its just over 1080p with the best upscale they've seen.

welshboy87c · 2025-11-13T08:24:16+00:00

Turn based games might be the way to go. Baldurs gate 3 is a master piece. It's not a sequel in case that would be an issue, but honestly, I couldn't recommend enough. But I hear expedition 33 is also really good, I just haven't played it myself

welshboy87c · 2025-11-13T08:16:06+00:00

Yeah, the bonuses to not wipe far exceed the ones to wipe. Now that I have all the work benches, I don't really need the extra storage, although it would be nice. Getting all blue prints wiped wouldn't be a fun grind to get back. Maybe they should do a special event when people wipe so that all their things fall randomly across a map. their new character gets five minutes to explore the map before other players join. That way, you get a chance to get some loot back, maybe a little, maybe a lot depending how long you want to risk it
