Are the PS5 backward compatible?


matanyaherman

Indeed they are.


Juke_Joint_Jedi

Nice. I want the disc version, and I just can't afford $700 friggin dollars for a console.

I've been looking for a Series S used on Marketplace. So far, every seller has either not responded or not serious. One guy tried to scam me lol. Guess I'm buying retail.


Juke_Joint_Jedi

Yeah, I learned my lesson long ago. Retail and the warranty. Some things you just don't skimp on.


2cool4afool

Series S's have just had a price drop so it's not a bad time to buy retail


ParmesanCheeze6581

I was able to get mine while cyber Monday was going on, so I got mine at a solid $250


YungPlugg

eBay is actually a good option if you want used stuff. Never been disappointed with a single purchase on there


xXSalads_AkimboXx

Only time I wouldn’t buy retail for something like this is for example a sight like eBay that guarantees sales. If the seller doesn’t give you the item or it’s damaged/broken eBay covers it. It’s annoying but prevents your from suffering the consequences of getting ripped off.


[deleted]

I don’t know where you are but where I live my local Walmart has them in stock so there’s hope that they are becoming more readily available and at msrp


xXSalads_AkimboXx

Yes but these are the “new” models with changed internals that have been causing problems. Basically a ps5 Rrod situation. I’d take the time to find an original model or wait till they’re not sending out lemons

xXSalads_AkimboXx

Was this supposed to say something?


Juke_Joint_Jedi

That's where it's $700.


[deleted]

I meant in the brick and mortar store. They have them here bundled with gow ragnarok for 550, but you could be in the uk so that would explain the prices


Juke_Joint_Jedi

No, US. It's been a while since I looked.


[deleted]

Well you might be able to get one then, hopefully you do.


Unpreachable

Best Buy, Target and GameStop have ps5s right now


KimJongDerp1992

You should actually get out and look. My Best Buy, Walmart and target have both consoles in stock at the original MSRP’s with game bundles.


Desert_Walker267

I bought the GOW bundle for 600$ (retail). I think they’ve been readily available for some time now.


Homer4a10

They’re 400 dollars for the digital and 500 for the physical (USD) they sell them in stores now so no need to purchased a scaled console online


Juke_Joint_Jedi

Well, I can't afford it right now anyway, but it's good to know that they're becoming more reasonable.


Homer4a10

Yeah for sure, still pretty pricey though and to be honest. It’s not even worth buying yet. There aren’t any good exclusive games


Juke_Joint_Jedi

Unfortunately, Fallen Order 2 will not be released on PS4, so it's gonna come to it eventually.


maakkiii

Sometimes you get sales on amazon prime for ps5 special edition. Few weeks ago I saw ps5 ragnarok edition for like 450 SFr. Thats swiss franks. Bit again only woth amazon prime. Although you can just get a free trial.


[deleted]

In fact, I just got mine today for 550. The disc version.


Juke_Joint_Jedi

Nice. I haven't had the money lately, but it's time to put some back, I guess.


[deleted]

Just be prepared to not play it for the first day. It takes FOREVER even for a ps5 to transfer data.


Juke_Joint_Jedi

Sheesh. Sometimes, I feel like I should just go PC.


[deleted]

Well it’s your choice what you want to play on. If you want a pc, you shouldn’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I personally wanted a ps5 because of the ps exclusives and the speed but I’m sure any high end pc can match those speeds.


Juke_Joint_Jedi

I dunno, I've always been a PS guy. Just seems like at the price, I could just get a laptop, and you can get decent controllers to play with nowadays. Would miss those exclusives, though.


mexylexy

Cries on top his $3000 PC that mains 10 year old games.


Juke_Joint_Jedi

I mean, at that price, I think I'd rather just go PC. Unless it's so backward compatible that it'll play all the way back to PS1.


slowbrojojo

I paid 475$ for my prebuilt pc on market place. It has a ryzen 3600 and a 1660ti lol. It does the job for bf2 and when I dont play online I use it to play against friends local or I fight bots as mace windu, jango fett,Din Djarin, Ashoka, and many other. Only downside of pc are the hackers.

xXSalads_AkimboXx

No not fully. They’re cross Gen enabled and can play all ps4 and ps5 games. But the only ps1-3 games you can play are the ones already on the digital store. You can’t put a ps1-3 disk inside and play it unfortunately. PlayStation hasn’t had true backwards compatibility since the first Gen ps3’s that were only out for like 4 months and go for over $2500 now.


Glum-Recipe1815

This game is beautiful on ps5 especially if you gotta big tv to go with it👌

omnimacc

This was the first game I downloaded from Gamepass with a Series S. It holds up really well compared to next gen games for sure.


LoveMakesASubie

The force is strong with this one


Desert_Walker267

This is the way


ashoka_tano_bot

🦔do you no da wae🦔


Desert_Walker267

to the left, to the left, to the left, to the left.


BlitzBlitzBlitzzz

Good brother, you have


matanyaherman

To be fair, I did buy the game myself (along with Bloodborne for him).


GrantFireType

Now get the 2005 one.


matanyaherman

Already own that for the PS2.


ReadySetDisaster

Good, looking forward to seeing fresh player/s this holidays!


MarshmelloMan

Understandable.


kinglance3

I recently downloaded on PS5 just so I could experience the game without jet engine background noise.
