Good question, considering MS had marketing rights to the game when it originally released.Wonder how much Sony paid for that exclusivity.

I'm going to try to get one off Amazon and from MS directly. I think I got my X1 vanilla direct from MS and it was the least drama.
I don't like Amazon, but they are ok as a backup and I know they don't charge anything anyway so I can always cancel.
Yikes. That's not very good.
I'm not expecting much difference in size. If there was a significant difference I think we would have heard by now.Ironically if PS5 has similar installs to Series X, it means PS5 and Series S will store almost the same amount of games. What this doesn't tell us though is how big the installs will be next gen. From talking to a dev, I believe they'll be smaller. All things equal, they could be 1/3rd smaller. Since all things won't be equal (textures will get bigger but wouldn't need to be repeated), probably won't see that much savings but there should be some.

You guys better hope it's not going to be like it was with the 3080 preorders cause damn.
Its got to be better than that s*** show. That was literally the worst launch of a tech product I've seen in some time. Bots had swiped half the inventory before preorders were even live.

It's pretty bad. I'm going to try and get my 3090 but I'm not holding my breath. I fully expect to not actually get one till 2021.

My fav spot bestbuy failed me with my ps5 pre order.I'm hoping that since the Xbox Series X is likely to be less popular it will be easier to pre-order, i didn't have any issues with getting a switch from best buy like i did the PS5. But they need to do something to weed out the duplicate scalper buyers. at least MS and Sony can have you pre-order from them based order wise based off gamerscore or library size to weed out the scalpers.
We are only 2 months from launch and nobody has a clue how big there game is? Seems unlikely. I 'm not saying they will nott be smaller, I understand the less duplicate files and Imagine compression will play a part, but if they were going to be significantly smaller then people would be talking. MS and Sony both know these puny sizeed SSDs are goinh to be an issue.There have been some articles on it. Old ones. Haven't got an update. I'm assuming a lot of that is because we don't have finished games yet. I'm also expecting a lot of early games just to dump their current gen files over as is. Games built strictly for SSDs don't need as man repeating assets and therefore should make more efficient use of storage long term.

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering what I do if I want to preorder but take advantage of the All Access program.
Take a "break" at 11am PSTHell I’ll be at work Tues morning
I could be wrong, but I didn't think any actually took payment. But I guess I never paid attention. I just assumed it was charged when it actually shipped.I wanted to preorder in store. Guess I’ll have to online preorder. Who is the best to use? Does all online retailers want the whole paid amount up front?
