Apparently he doesn’t trust the official Gran Turismo Twitter that calls it GT Sport. twice.
Saw a PS5 in stock on Amazon for a fraction of a millisecond. I tried to look for the digital version and it was gone by the time I got back.
Kind of kicking myself for not grabbing one.

Don't worry, the links were jacked up due to high traffic and it wouldn't have added to your cart regardless. I tried dozens of times, no luck.
Yeah honestly I don't even need one right now, as I have plenty to play on Xbox and PC and will get one eventually.
Something about them being hard to get makes me want one NOW!
How Goodbye Volcano High is shaping the next-generation of adventure games on PS5
"All the other platforms that this game may or may not come to will have a lot of work that will have to be done to make the game run the way we want it to – while on PS5, it can just kind of happen easily," Dabbous tells us. He had earlier said, "What's been really nice about developing for PS5 is that, even though our game is 2D, there's still a lot of memory constraints."
"And we're doing a lot of visual lighting effects and things that are running in real time that, if we pull it off right, the player should never even notice is happening [...] we also [want to] be able to pan or zoom or do some camera movements, which means our resolutions and our textures [...] have to be at a ginormous size for that to all look perfect at 4K. And so what's really nice about doing that work on the PS5 is that we're really not super-worried about technical constraints on memory and resolution size and things like that, so that lets us really focus on making the best possible art."
Dabbuous is also enthusiastic about the DualSense controller, "Haptics have been around for so long [...] And I feel like it's this drum that I keep on beating on and [haptics] have like been so important, and so valuable and like, nobody seems to actually talk about it in any meaningful way. It's just like, 'Oh, vibration, rumble, whatever!'"
McKernan agrees, "The first thing that comes to mind is some sort of like weaponry feedback or something. Like, 'Oh, I'm firing a machine gun and it's kicking back on my fingers.' But when we first spoke to Sony about that concept, it just clicked with us to be like, yeah, we could totally put you more in the shoes of this character if they're having trouble getting something out and you really have to work for it just like you would in real life."
Dabbous elaborates, "Having things like a resistive or adaptive trigger that can change its feel... like, a controller that changes its feel based on a character's emotional state [...] that is like just such an exciting tool from a design perspective [...] And I just think that, as game designers, that's just an incredibly fun and exciting experience to create new feelings for players." We'll be able to feel it for ourselves in 2021.

Dbrand Announces Custom PS5 Faceplates, Dares Sony to Sue
"As the title of this post suggests, we’re now the global leaders in PS5 Faceplates.Sue us, Sony.
This project has been in the works since just before we told you not to buy PlayStation 5 skins. Spoiler alert: this is why we told you not to buy PlayStation 5 skins.
After moving a few more chess pieces through four dimensions, we added a new production line to our plastic injection molding facility and got to work. The skills we’ve refined through the past few years of developing the Grip Case has uniquely positioned our organization to create OEM-grade Faceplates: ones with all of the precision, attention to detail, and needlessly elaborate packaging that you’ve come to expect from dbrand.
We’ll be entering mass production on PS5 Faceplates by year’s end. However, we won’t be accepting orders until we have stock at our Toronto HQ, ready to ship. If CD Projekt RED has taught us anything, it’s that selling products before they’re finished is a bad idea.
If you’re among the millions of humans who didn’t get a PS5 for Christmas, stay calm when you see these go out-of-stock. We anticipate that the demand will outpace supply at launch, but rest assured Faceplates will be a permanent fixture in our portfolio.
On the other hand, if you’re among the millions of scalpers hoping to differentiate their overpriced PS5 with a custom faceplate, we encourage you to sign up for the launch notification here.
That’s it from us. Congratulations on surviving 2020. We’ll try harder in 2021."

Finally caved and got one from Craigslist plus drunk a little too much and upgraded my son to the LG CX also.
I paid $690 in the end, it appears to be a win all things considered although it sucks to pay over regardless.
I got my son Call of Duty, Sacboy and Spider-Man anything else those that have it recommend?

Yup, get Demon's Souls, best looking next-gen console game IMO. Miles will be tons of fun too, they added Raytracing+60FPS at 1440p now for it so will look great as well. Remember to download the free Astro's Playroom on the PS5, short little game to look/feel all the new haptics on the DS5.
If I can find one off Amazon (not from a scalper), should I go digital or disk? I'm thinking digital, as I only have a few disk games, and I can re-buy them cheaper than the $100 the disk will cost me. I already have an XSX so I can watch physical movies on that.
I'm wondering if they are going to start popping up more now that the holidays are over.

I’m going to wait until I can get a Digital one.
I have a couple of disks on my Series X. But I only bought them on disk because they were Black Friday purchases.
But then again Walmart always has new disks games for $10 cheaper than everyone else.
If your friends or family also have disk you guys can buy different games and exchange them, helps since games are so pricey these days haha.
One of the reasons why I went physical was because of the resell market too so when I'm done with a game, I can sell it back out to recuperate some money for the next title. Sometimes physical games have deeper discounts too during special events/sales.
If you don't care about all that, then the digital seems like a better fit as you'll be keeping all your games anyways.

Is it me or does COD not work at all on the PS5? I’ve installed everything but every mode gives me a app not installed or something along that line as a message.
I'm planning on going disc. On Xbox (which was like 99% just exclusives and multiplayer games) I went mostly digital. For PS4 though I continued buying discs mainly because of the Gamer's Club thing at Best Buy. Recently though it's been a lot more digital games. So I still have a few disc games I may want to use on the PS5 plus it may eventually become my 4K movie system as well. Though if it comes down to it and I can grab a digital one only I probably would.

Oh wow
I would still check which version you are playing on.
I had this issue with Destiny 2.

Yeah press start and then the drop down should have a "version" option so you can see which one is loaded up.
Amazon PS5 scalper price down to $895. Hopefully this means the end of that and more are coming.
I have $300 in Amazon credit just sitting there, laughing at me as I only own one next gen console.
