PlayStation 5 Unboxing

Finally got the PlayStation 5. After the spate of chip shortages and fishing for a lucky chance at a purchase, finally got it through Gamestop.ie. There was a forced buy of the new Horizon Forbidden West game, among two others. At around € 79, not too happy for that aspect.

And also GameStop uses An Post for delivery who are atrocious for delivering anything larger than an envelope. They had made at least 2 attempts at delivery, according to the online tracking portal, first at 8 am and then again at 5 pm. I was home all day and right after the 5 pm attempt, it reached the depot at the same timestamp. A journey of zero seconds which would typically take 40 minutes by foot, and probably equally long during traffic in a car.

Watch the video for just a barebones view of the product minus the whinging why don't ya.

Game ON!

Another thing that I'd acquired off of my to do list for the summer of '09 is this PS2. Now the graphics on this aren't exactly as I recalled it. I assumed that the PS2 would outclass the Nintendo Wii. But in some cases the graphics are atrocius and pale in comparison. Played a few games such as Soul Calibur II, Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken 4. I just couldn't bare playing those. The graphics or gameplay or both just put me off that I couldn't keep playing.
Luckily a few other titles are ok, mostly the newer releases. It's not a totally woops. For the moment A few good games such as Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi keep me going, and recently acquired Fifa Street 2, Star Wars revenge of the Sith seem to be okish in terms of graphics and gameplay. Grand Theft Auto III is another one I seem to be getting into. Ah muses.
