I have one!

I dont! My wife and I are trying to buy our house so the one I did successfully order we sold to my sister-in-law.

---

Yeah and how many of those were sold DIRECTLY to fans?
I wager less than a 1000!

(Then again there is hardly anything worth playing on it so far anyway.)

I really liked Demon's Souls Remake and... I guess everything else has been an expansion, the tech demo, or a PS4 game.

Ive enjoyed Astros Playroom, Demons Souls, Bugsnax and FFVII INTERMission on mine so far. And Im currently enjoying the shinier version of FFXIV.

Is that a bad thing? I mean, when people get a new gaming PC they mostly use it to play better versions of games they could've played on their previous gaming PC.

imagine how many they could sell if they were actually in stock

No, BC is a great thing. And it's kind of on me that I haven't bought R&C or Spiderman Miles Morales.

I will say, as someone who went from PS4/Xbox One straight to PS5/Series X, skipping over the Pro/X versions, it is nice playing last gen games on the new consoles, especially when they have enhanced versions. Those load times on RDR2, unf.

Only downside is that I stream so much, I never get to enjoy them in 4K, but I appreciate that's very much a rod I've made for my own back.

Haha, considering how many of them have performance modes, you wouldn't get to enjoy most of them in 4K anyway (I guess some of the last gen games would be exceptions).

That is true, given the option, I always choose performance. Gotta get that silky smooth framerate.

It's a useful saying! And one I find myself using with upsetting regularity.

I have one!

Me too!

Gamestop/pro reward membership/twitter notifications and then getting a bundle is your best bet if you're still trying to get one

I haven't finished playing my PS4 yet! Maybe in 3 years.

All the more reason to get a PS5, considering how much better PS4 games play on it.

If I don't know how well it plays on PS5, it wouldn't be a problem.
