Red Mosquito

yeah I've already reconsidered my original approach and plan to just use the PS5 exclusively for PS5 games. I've gone ahead and purchased another 2TB external to house all the PS4 games I want to play on the PS5. Just hoping that a larger SSD will available at some point over the next year to take advantage of those expansion spots within the PS5...gonna be a pricey upgrade though....

Got the shipping notice...

Happy Console Week everyone!

My Xbox has just been sitting in Memphis all week. Get a move on!

My Fedex tracking says "Per shipper instructions, package will not be delivered until the scheduled delivery date." Does yours say the same thing?

What's the first thing you're going to do with the system after turning it on?

Probably mess with the settings, then decide what precious games I want to store on the internal hard drive, and download Watch Dogs because that’ll be my go to game immediately.

Same. I've been intentionally avoiding too many settings videos, so it will be fun to explore them on Thursday.

I think I originally said that Miles Morales would be the first game I fire up...I'm thinking that may get changed to Demons Souls. Also I really can't wait to replay TLOU2 on New Game + and continue (the little) I've started w/ Ghost of Tsushima in 4K.

I'm going to install the NBA 2k21 upgrade and probably play Astrobot as it downloads. The Demon's Souls later that night.

No PS5 games in stores today. Some XSX games. PS5 controllers and XSX storage upgrades were for sale.

I saw that, and it is tempting, but I’m already chomping at the bit here.

Did you guys pay taxes on your pre-orders? I just realized my bundle with 2 games and an extra controller didn't charge taxes. Is this normal?

Was your card actually charged? You should have sales tax.

I just found a twit where someone says Antonline doesn't charge sales tax. I don't know how, but I'll take it.

That's how a lot of online sellers used to be. In some states, if the store does not have any physical locations in state, they do not have to charge sales tax. That's how Amazon used to work in PA.
