Saw that the PC version released on Steam, it has horrible ratings. Looks like most of the bad ratings are downloading/streaming issues. It appears the games install size isn't bad, it downloads/streams in textures and graphics as you are playing which seems weird to me.

I think some of the newer Call of Duty games do that too.

The Xbox version was only 11gb. lol That blew me away as Flight Simulator 2020 is like 150gb (or somewhere in that neighborhood).

Anyone getting a PS5 Pro today?

I keep telling myself I'm not going to get one as I'm still very happy with my PS5. I used to be a huge "get it first" tech kind of guy. Usually that meant I spent more money and got burned more often than I care to admit, but the younger me still wants to have it.

I was going to resell my PS5 with an additional 1TB of storage (I've upgraded to 2 TB) to help sell it for a decent price, but Sony is going to discount the PS5 for holiday sales? Also not a fan of having to purchase a disk drive. Some of my favorite games are on disk and I enjoy using Gamefly for game rentals.

I do know it's a matter of time before I do the upgrade.

Eventually I will have to get a cheap Xbox to play elder scrolls, fable, and avowed. But I’m in a hurry. By the time all three are out hopefully getting one will be cheap. Or I’ll just wait until they are.

One warning with the Series S is space is very limited. Although if you limit those three you should probably be good

This is the truth. I have one in my mancave as a secondary console and you want to know how many games I have on it right now? Two. :laugh: Call of Duty and NCAA 25. That's it. There is no more room for anything else. I couldn't even fit the 11gb Flight Simulator 24 on it.

While you can buy the expandable (proprietary) memory cards, Xbox are very proud of them.

You are really just better off getting the X Series. For the money you wind paying for storage, you really arent saving much if anything

These are good questions. I kind of feel
The same.

I used to be out in the lines on release day for new consoles. But….. this mid generation console upgrades. I just don’t know if the bang is worth the buck. If you sell your current PS5 and don’t have games on disc that you want to play. It makes sense.

But I just don’t think the amount of improvement from a technical perspective is worth it on this new PS5.

I feel like the upgrade in graphics and visuals from a PS4 to PS4 pro was a higher jump than the PS5 to PS5 pro.

But maybe that’s just me not remembering well either lol

Yeah I went ahead and got the cyberpunk expansion. Not sure if I’ll start it right away but for 24 dollars seems like a good deal.

I snagged it too. I finished CP 2077 twice already. Though I didn't have the expansion. I'm having a great time playing Spiderman Remastered (beat the main game on the mini-expansions now) So I went a head and grabbed Spiderman Miles Morales at half price too.
