Will we be getting on 12 nov?? From this website.

https://gamerant.com/ps5-delay-taiwan-maylasia-vietnam/

Manufacturing and parts limitations have already put a strain on the PS5 supply, which has led to some disappointing developments for gamers. For one, the PS5 is not a global launch, but will instead release in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea on November 12, 2020. Since Singapore was highlighted as one of the regions to get access to the PS5 first that likely explains why it did not see the website change.

Must be a mistake. Sony SG webpage still states 19th Nov

Those who preorder ps5 all have 4k monitor 120hz?

definitely not a requirement.

its like u are asking, do people make a gaming pc all have 4k monitor? Most still play on 1080p or 1440p at higher refresh rates. Not everything is about 4k@120hz.

PS5 release date: 12th November in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea; 19th November in the UK and rest of the world.

Unfortunately, we belong to rest of the world category. Btw, tiagong US side will be receiving their accessories like headset at end of this mth while Sg still no picture no sound where to pre-order.

I have 8K 100 hz tv ready.. :s13::s13::s13: . Just joking, still using back my trusty Samsung q7fn 4K tv, anyway doubt we will be seeing AAA game running in native 4K 120hz.

I guess we will be given the option to have it at lower resolution like 1080 at 120hz or 4k locked at 30-60hz.

DMC5: SE on PS5/XSX offers 4 performance modes:

- 4K 30fps, Ray Tracing ON

- 1080p 60fps, Ray Tracing ON

- 4K 60fps, Ray Tracing OFF

- Up to 120fps, Ray Tracing OFF (Unspecified Resolution)

Hopefully that will set a precedent & become standard in all games. So more devs will follow suit & offer similar number of options, unlike the usual 2 or 3 performance mode found in most games.

Offer more choices, let players choose to turn on/off Ray Tracing as not everyone cares about RT. Some prefer smooth 60fps, while some prefer max visual fidelity at 4K & doesn't mind 30fps.

More performance options available = Less complain from demanding players.

Just got the call from one of the local stores for a few units that they have put aside for other ways of getting the PS5 on day 1 (19 Nov).

Couldn't be happier. I held out completely ignoring the scalpers. Really wished I could play Miles Morales with the PS5 and poof, got the chance.

And yes, I have an LG C9. So I am utilizing not just 4K 120Hz but also Variable Refresh Rate (VRR similar to G-Sync and FreeSync) for an even smoother gaming experience. So I can completely utilize the console and games on day 1.

I am already utilizing that 4K 120Hz with VRR with the RTX 3090 too since I have a beta TV firmware that solves the black screen issue when VRR is enabled at 4K 120Hz.

Anyway, for those who held out, there might be a chance that more stocks should arrive by the time of the launch. So like with the 2nd batch of preorder rounds, I do also notice that the scalpers pants dropped and the pricing of their PS5 also dropped during that period. So something to take note of too! But if possible, just make the scalper market as dry as the Sahara. So there'll be no more of this nonsense in the future. Only buy from scalpers if they are selling it at retail or at a loss. :s13:

So as I mentioned, more stocks should be available on day 1 of the launch. So target shops that do not have any waiting list such as TOG. Play-E has a very high waiting list. So chances of you buying at stores is low since they'll confirm reserve those stocks for their waiting list buyers.

if the rumor bout Sony focusing on SG market first and delayed the PS5 launch for other SEA countries are true then most likely you can get it earlier. Good luck hope u get it soon

Yup, good set of modes. It's good to see console starting to give the options for mode settings and I hope this set the trend going forwards next-gen.

Can I ask which store did you get call from? I will go and camp overnight if I need to get my unit on day of launch :/

Definitely not paying extra $ to scalpers. Makes my blood boil to see them post on carousell.

I did.. from Amazon. If you haven't played the previous spiderman before, all the more you should go for the ultimate edition. Comes with a remastered download code for the previous game.
