it's been 224 days since eric last tried
to buy a ps5
it's a cold cold world out there on
walmart.com scott present bots buying
every ps5 and xbox series x in sight
whenever it gets restocked when eric
tried to buy the ps5 from walmart he
mercilessly clicked refresh he'd upgrade
to one of the most pristine ten thousand
dollar gaming mice but alas
nothing was good enough for even the
swiftest of shoppers could not outpace
the bots
the scalpers there was no hope
hang on hang on what was that package
for call of duty oh okay i got it i got
it
that's right guys i bought a ps2 i don't
even want to try to do a proper intro i
just want to unbox this thing it's been
too long my package has these weird
purple dots on it i'm not exactly sure
if that's like for security or something
i was expecting this a couple days ago
it took a little bit longer but it's
finally here let's get it up
oh my god dude are you guys ready i've
been waiting over seven months for this
thing man here we go
wait was it kind of open already wait
what
oh i'm kind of bummed that it came like
this like it's already torn but i mean
as long as everything that's inside is
okay that's all that matters but here it
is guys ps5
i'm switching over to a different camera
so you can kind of get a better look
look at that tear though
how did this happen though like i don't
know that just like kind of bums me out
i know get that little piece of tape off
okay i think i've mostly got this
i don't know if i can do this one-handed
this is what the one side has it has
lightning speed breath taking immersion
stunning games
not even a terabyte it has a
pre-installed game what i hope it's cold
war just kidding please don't be cool
i'm trying to get some of this stuff
open you can see the things we've got a
quick shard guide we got a safety guide
that no one will read power cable oh
look at that the ps5 is a lot smaller
than i thought it would be but they
managed to fit the whole thing in here
just kidding this is the telephone hdmi
for hd quality it came with a doohickey
take that off
take that one off there it is this thing
is giant but there it is guys my brand
new xfinity router but yeah guys here it
is we got the ps5 just based off of
first impressions this thing is [ __ ]
huge this thing really is a beast like i
don't know if i'm gonna stand it up tall
or like lay it flat but it's actually
pretty big and heavy i don't know how
well you guys will be able to see this
but basically the ps5
kind of has like these custom buttons at
the bottom and that's supposed to be
where you put this hook
in the back it has ports for the power
cable hdmi lan cable and two usbs and in
the front it has another
usb and then a usb type a okay so i've
got the little base
hook thing kind of attached to the ps5
so i can set it down like this i'll be
right back i've got to set up all the
cables down here okay so i think i've
got everything hooked up let's turn on
the ps5 karina was telling me when you
boot up the ps5 for the first time that
it has like a custom animation or
something like that custom intro screen
so hopefully everything will record okay
set the power button oh yep that's the
power button oh my god what a beast
[Music]
this is so weird like literally
nothing's working because of htcp which
basically like stops elgato from
recording i'm just gonna have to hook it
up directly to my monitor i don't think
i'll be able to record quite yet this is
just my home page right now okay i'll
show you guys what i have to do before i
can actually record it properly
go to the settings i think it's a system
setting yep and we have to turn off hdcp
this is what screw me over now i can
actually record
all right yeah i'm connecting my
controller power consumption varies i
want to probably crank everything up yes
there we go and i
always update my stuff i hate it when
it's not updated i wonder if copying
updates is going to take as long on here
i hope it doesn't yes i
i totally read all of this for the
license agreement like everyone does i'm
just a really fast reader guys yeah
we'll update the software stuff why not
while we wait for this update don't
forget that codemark is still 30
off of gfuel until the 28th 2
000 years later all right so we are
recording now
right now i'm just waiting for the ps5
to download cold war it's already 34
done which is pretty fast but yeah guys
here's the ps5 menu it's pretty clean
looking i don't know if this is a
setting i can necessarily change but the
icons are kind of small compared to ps4
i mean like this is a lot more cinematic
looking i'd say they're definitely going
more for looks than actual functionality
i mean these icons are pretty small
everything else about this though i mean
it look oh there's loki by the way if
you guys haven't seen the loki's show it
is actually really [ __ ] good but yeah
it's gonna take some time to get used to
the menu and stuff like that navigation
all that
only nine minutes left to actually start
playing i mean that's not too bad when i
go to the screen and video settings this
is what's actually really cool because
it should allow 120 hertz output the
monitor that i've been playing console
games on can support 144 hertz so
hopefully when i'm playing cold war if
the game's able to push to 120
fps then it should be even smoother ah
it's so close to being done we're gonna
play astro's playroom instead this is
the content you guys have been waiting
for oh my god what is he doing
this actually is really smooth i think
this is at 120 hertz let's go
oh i made the game go that game looked
pretty rad but cold war is ready let's
go wait what can't use this content to
use it you have to purchase
what what are you talking about i have
the ultimate or cross-gen version like
what
game version oh there we go wait no
that's the ps5 version what apparently i
have to go to settings
users and accounts you have to click
restore licenses on the other tab okay
come on
one second left what oh okay this could
be a bit alright let's see if that did
the trick oh
wait can't restore license what well
let's just try it again
okay i gotta get this [ __ ] figured out
man i mean maybe i could try the ps4
version maybe that'll work okay never
mind
you have to download it separately there
we go i mean that's the ps5 version
wait is it working i just have to switch
it back and forth oh my god this may
take longer than usual because this is
my first time playing cold war my tv
should definitely support this are you
kidding me
oh but it's going to have ray tracing
though wait oh maybe disable
i don't know i have to switch the
settings around all i can do is bots
it's gonna be so interesting though i
can't wait to see how the game looks and
how the controller feels i have
performance mode selected in my system
settings that's so weird i guess i'm
playing against bots i don't even know
what i have unlocked right now this is
so weird ooh wait cold war looks nice
right now
the game does look more crisp than it
does on ps4 i mean this is nice
you can see it says installing
multiplayer it's still not all the way
done i don't know if this is just cold
war or if it's just not optimized for
ps5 yet but i don't really feel
that much of a difference with the
controller like there's these slight
things when you aim in
and like when you kill someone nothing
that crazy though
all head shots what the new controller
locked new ps5 look
it's so weird playing like bots with
basic classes and nothing feels like
playing the game for the first time
i want to know where i'll be able to
notice the ray tracing is gonna be the
sun i don't know i mean it looks really
nice though look at the ground it's all
reflective the sun's
shiny the shadow's off the gun
everything i mean it actually looks
pretty nice
i've definitely gotta figure out how to
get the 120 hertz to actually work
though
let's go let's get that nuke first nuke
on ps5
flawless gameplay well there you go i
mean this is all i can really do until
the game's fully done downloading and
i'll show you guys too like in the
system settings
i have it on performance mode the
setting here has it for automatic you
can't just like leave it on yeah for
game presets i have it set to
performance mode clown skin's looking
pretty hd i mean it actually looks
really good
i still can't get that 120 hertz refresh
rate i don't even know how it's really
strange because it looks like you can't
have ray tracing
and 120 hertz refresh rate on at the
same time but even if i disable it it
doesn't unlock this option so this is
really weird if any of you guys watching
have a ps5 and if you have cold war
hopefully you can help me out in the
comments but i'll try to do some digging
online too but that's gonna do it for
this video thank you guys very much for
watching i hope you guys enjoyed
watching me unbox the ps5 and set it up
and all that [ __ ] i've definitely got a
ton of settings to go through set this
thing up even more but i really do hope
you guys enjoyed this video if you guys
did and you want to see some more ps5
related stuff or even some ps5 exclusive
games make sure to drop a like i'll see
you guys later i don't need this i don't
need it
i don't need a dive
[Music]
