Actually fifa i can play on PC but i cant keep shifting my dekstop from study to living room LOL. even if i want to get a 10m HDMI 2.1 cable, it's not avaialble yet.

For the wheel, yes man still looking around... leaning towards Next Level Racing wheel stand as the base...

the wheel still not sure yet but i may get for xbox first since GT7 wont be out till sometime next year.

how bt u ?

yea i have a decent gaming pc that is able to play all genres however i use that for work as well. i wont wanna slug the pc to the tv and back to my study area. Anyway just getting the ps5 to beautify my tv console and make use of my tv as i recently bought the LG 65CX oled. playing 4k with variable refresh rates for racing games should be nice.

yea i havent start looking for a wheel yet. i rem last time when ps4 came out, i bought an entry level wheel, the trustmaster t80 and a wheel stand from taobao. regret because after buying then realised the wheel can only turn max 200 degrees. i sell it with the stand a few short months after it became a white elephant. rarely play on console thereafter as prefer playing on pc.

anyway for now since of the hype, my next wheel should be at least 900 degrees. still waiting out for reviews.

that next level wheel stand...expensive sia haha

Was browsing Carousell and decided to take a look at PS5 prices.

Recent listings show a standard edition PS5 + controller going for $1,300. That's approx. 57% above RRP, which is about the value of 4.8 new first-party-studio games.

For digital edition PS5, there's a listing going for $1,100. That's approx. 84% above RRP, and about the value of 5.1 new first-party-studio games.

Some more thoughts: I understand that broadly speaking, in the business world, 10% profit margins are considered 'good'. Given that overheads for re-selling consoles are on the low end (perhaps transport fees, time costs, but also minimal storage fees), and the relatively low risk of being unable to offload the product, I can see why re-selling is seen as such an attractive 'business'.

The thirst is real...

TBH i am also paying higher than SRP but definitely not $1.3k lol...

think the offending listings are removed if im not wrong

of cos, it's just for the fun of it lah, scalpers can always list elsewhere

and that's why honest people who just want to get their first hands on the console can't get it, because there's market demand cos it works both ways right?

1) most likely there will be
2) apparently first party titles will not get free upgrade
3) Most likely since it's an expensive equipment

we are about 1-month to the release. no cross save, no free upgrade.

very exciting~

There are cross save, only some games (yakuza and dirt5) dont have cross save.
But the games without cross save are considered as another games.
So you can plat the BC PS4 version and the upgraded PS5 version.

Sony is testing market for “remastered”
If many pay for spiderman remastered, there will be more paid rm to come.

Saying no free upgrade for first party is wrong since miles morales got free upgrade to ps5 version.

 

[hyperfuse]

report them

Its not illegal to resell, if it is u wont see CNA glorifying scalping.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/cnainsider/teen-sneaker-resale-hypemaster-remus-singapore-13190860?cid=FBcna

So the one who reports are just general people who are sore.

In the world of ecommerce, companies buy the rights to be the sole distributor or sell a certain product in a country...they can also mark up prices. Same logic.

Its a willing buyer willing seller market. Same goes to buying a BTO and reselling it higher.

Its never wrong to resell.

Carousel won't do anything about it because its not against the law to sell at a higher price. Its a willing buyer willing seller. Why do you see some shops sell IT parts higher than others or other limited edition hype shoes, clothes have absurd price range.

Like that carousel need to ban alot of people, esp those selling Nike limited editon shoes...yeezys etc.

Agreed, well said. I'm not sure why some people are on a fud campaign, spreading fake news/info. And treat their opinion as facts. The least they can do is do some research before posting.

For already released first-party titles, it's currently unknown whether there'll be either free upgrade, paid upgrade (small fee) or re-release as Remastered version. Have to wait for official announcement.

However the 'no free upgrade for first-party games' is clearly false. Last I check, Spider-Man: MM, Horizon Forbidden West & Sackboy: A Big Adventure are all first-party titles published by Sony. And all 3 games will receive free upgrade from PS4 to PS5.

As for Save Data:

When playing PS4 games on a PS5 via backwards compatible, yes you can carry your saves over.

When playing PS5 versions of games that were released on PS4 (cross-gen titles), it's up to the developer to allow saves to carry over, since its considered as a different game/application on PlayStation. While on Xbox, both version are considered as the same application.

Some games support cross save, while some don't. Conclusion: PS5 doesn't support cross save for all games is a myth.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is proof that PS5 does support cross save from PS4 to PS5. All depends on the individual developer/game. Case by case basis.

Yup.. it's a vicious cycle.. imagine both xbox and ps5 launch physically, there will also be campers to hoot all the sets and sell online, cannot control one lor.

to me i see it as paying them for spending the time to camp and get the set first while i'm unable to

there is a guy in carousell selling ps5 like COE bidding... highest bidder gets the cake... and he has several sets.. not sure how he got it but he'll be rich.. unless suddenly got new stock come in.

Is the logitech g29 a decent starting wheel? I can get brand new for about 335

its definitely decent enough as i had it a few years back on a wheel stand pro LOL...
But of cos there are higher end ones including the pedal and such.

The price looks very good... can i tombang if convenient ? btw the gear is purchased separately.

Microsoft Is Beating Sony At Cross-Generation Save Transfers

As of now, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and Marvel’s Avengers are the only games known to support transferring progress made on PlayStation 4 to the PlayStation 5 versions.

And finally, while DIRT 5 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon will utilize Smart Delivery on Xbox Series X, their respective developers have confirmed that neither game will support transferring saves from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5.

A lot of this confusion comes from Sony being mum on the subject. It’s currently unknown whether progress will carry over in other high-profile games, even when it comes to first-party fare like Horizon Forbidden West and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. This would be a bummer under any other circumstances, but with Microsoft pushing save transfers as a core component of Smart Delivery, the lack of a similar system from Sony is definitely a knock against the PlayStation 5.

very exciting.

T300 rs gt sounds good too

- For big PS4 titles like TLOU2 or GoT, do I have to buy a separate PS5 version (like say Spiderman) or will there be a free upgrade (like Cyberpunk)?

Based on ps2/ps3 and ps3/ps4 history, this will not happen. Can understand why, though
