Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
If you're not a Costco member, there's a similar deal at Newegg for the same model. Same price, $150 Visa GC, 4 year protection plan.
I know that's a couple inches smaller than your current display, but if you want to go a little bigger and don't mind a refurb, you can get a 77" Sony XR77A80CJ from BuyDig for $2K. The same display new is $2500 at Costco.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I know it's another topic and thread ... but now I have to start thinking about upgrading my tv to 4K. The one I have is still working fine ... a 67" Samsung 1080p DLP from about 15 years ago (which I paid a pretty penny for when I bought it). But now I have a device that can do 4K, and I've seen how nice the display of 4K tvs is (even when not showing 4K content). I've been itching to upgrade to 4K for a while and kind of had "I'll do it when I get a PS5" in my mind. I'll want something at least as big as what I have and know the cheaper brands/models are under $1000. Though what I'm really thinking about is spending more for a nice OLED. It doesn't have to be right now, but before the end of the year. I can wait until a good time for deals. Would that be Black Friday week (or are 4K tvs something that gets Labor Day sales too)?

Are you a Costco member? You can get last year's 65" model (a C1) for $1600, with free shipping, a $150 Costco card, $100 streaming credit, and a 3-year protection plan (5 year total coverage). (Link!)

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I second the praise for Ghost of Tsushima (tho I played on PS4) and Spider-Man/MM (which I’m finishing up now). Spider-Man and Horizon ZD were the first games I played on PS5.
The PS+ Collection (old school, before things changed) has great games, but there wasn’t enough new to me, and not enough play time, so I canceled.
I also recommend the 4k TV.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I’m five years into my OLED and haven’t had any burn-in, despite having sunk more than 100 hours-plus into a bunch of games and my wife’s Animal Crossing play totaling somewhere around 700-800 hours. The most annoying thing about mine is some vertical banding — with certain darker tones, I can see “stripes” — but it’s been doing that since day one and isn’t from use. Supposedly that’s less of an issue with newer models.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Unfortunately, the replacement panel has also developed burn in, but it's not as severe as before.
However, the 48" C1 in the other room has been rock solid. Bought it on a very similar Costco deal and I use it all the time. Not even a remote sign of burn in, but I've also tried to be a bit more careful with it. The only static image it ever really sees is the YouTube logo at the top right of the screen, but that hasn't caused any problems.
Static logos should be illegal in The Current Year regardless, though.

The gamelists, if I understand what they are correctly, will be nice to have. I like to have the games that the kids can play grouped together for them to choose from.

The gamelists are like folders, similar to the Groups on Xbox.

The Horizon Forbidden West disc drive bundle is still available. No queue waiting.
Unless you really don’t want that game, it’s getting much easier now to get a console.
