Maybe I’m wearing my loudest socialist hat today and hating on late-stage capitalism a little too much. What do you think though? Are PS5 scalpers truly the worst?

It’s a beautiful day to receive a next-gen console, wouldn’t you say? For many of you, that dream of owning Sony’s latest piece of technology is about to come true as wave 2 of the PlayStation 5 launch kicks off. There’s a lot to love about the console, but one of its greatest strengths is also its greatest weakness: That …

The tiny SSD is running a race when it should be preparing for a marathon, the initial amazement of the user interface hides some big issues with the console software, and there’s clearly still some work left to be done in the backwards compatibility department. And yet despite those faults, the PS5 still locks and loads a wow factor that can’t be beat thanks to just how well its best games run and the senses-shattering use of its new controller. The potential of this console to lead the way into the next-generation of gaming is undeniable, but it’s up to Sony to help the PS5 realise that possibility.

Buying a new console this generation and looking to impress people in an attempt to justify spending money on something that makes you happy? Then you’re going to need a launch game for validation purposes! With the PlayStation 5, you’ve got two games in particular that can help you gloat about the five-dimensional device in your living room: Demon’s Souls and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

We’ve mentioned before that the PS5 is gargantuan in scale, requiring at least eight Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters to move it into optimum gaming position. It’s big. Big! BIG. Here’s the real kicker: The PS5 was at one point even bigger.

Sony, clearly very aware that it has the games that so many people are lusting after, just can’t stop showing off Demon’s Souls.

We also have some new information on the game, including a range of filters to tweak the way it looks and updated user interface elements.

Nature is healing. PlayStation 5 consoles now roam the land, nesting in the homes of many a games journalist and influencer as the great unboxing exodus begins. Seen every few years in the wild, these new consoles are the advance scouts for the primary herd of next-gen devices which will soon establish hunting dens in homes around the world, provided that this new beast can fit into the TV units that they prefer to raise their DualSense controller cubs in.
