Got this pre-bought on PSN with Utnayan Utnayan 's money. I think it'll start downloading at midnight Thurs night. Full PS5 game download might take a while. My sleep schedule is fully whacked out and I'm sleeping like 4 hours a day at best, so the tough part here will just be actually being awake to play it on Friday.

Flight is Thursday at 9pm. I really planned this perfectly to annoy myself.
This makes me feel slightly better about my Sunday flight, so ty.

Although only getting to play this for two days may give me blue balls for the week i'm away.

Preload is up on PS5.

Oh awesome, I thought it was gonna be downloading all night on Thurs->Fri. I'll get it going today. Probably won't know whether to go Samurai or Wretch until I start the game, like those people who don't know who they're voting for until they're in the booth.

The downside is that I'll probably need to work over the weekend. At least I've got Friday for it.

I have the collector's edition for PS5 pre ordered from Best Buy. Do they usually ship in time for launch day or am I screwed?

Not sure if the PS4 Pro will be worth playing this on. The other option is my PC with my 5700XT or get an Xbox One S. Seems like the graphics are okay on the PS4 but the frame rate seems low.

Buying that xbox model for it seems like a bad plan. Haven't kept track of the Pro vs std graphics options, but if yer ok with 30fps i'd assume it'll be fine. If yer a 60fps or bust guy probably better to go pc, and turn shit down. If you wanna game on TV with controller, ps oughtta be good.

I assume you mean Series S and not X1S?

Series S is going to run Elden Ring at 1440p60 ("up to 60" so expect some drops but I'd assume it's nothing VRR can't handle) in performance mode. I'm going to be playing Thurs from about 6AM til noon on Series X, then the rest of the day I'll have my Series S with me. Hopefully the transition isn't too jarring but the info they've given out sounds promising.

Series S is a good console provided you can deal with its two major drawbacks: almost unbearably low storage space and really should be used with 1080-1440p PC monitors (which are cheap since you only need 60Hz and Freesync 2) rather than big TVs.

That said, I don't see any reason why a 5700XT wouldn't be fine provided the rest of the PC isn't too much older.

The rest of the computer was built at the same time. I think im going to get it on PC and get a new controller of some kind.

The 8bitdo pro 2 is pretty nice.

8bitdo SN30 Pro 2 is great, as is the PowerA Fusion Pro 2 (would be my #1 recommendation for anyone who'll be using their controller wired no matter what).
