He’s too old and not built like a truck (anymore). I recon they would be considering trying to CGI him with Christopher Judges voice but you’d think it would be expensive to do. It would be amazing if they could make it work though.

For Kratos he'd shave his whole body if needed.

SG-1 Judge would be a great Kratos! But yeh, probably too old now.
Plus, you'd get the SJW's out in force for making him white (ashen gray).

I see there are still people buying PS5’s off scalpers on eBay lol. Between two accounts I have counted over 20 consoles sold for $1000 each in November and December, even though you can go on JBHIFI right now and find both models $649/$799 and it’s been much easier to buy the PS5 in Australia for a few weeks now.
Imagine paying an extra $200 when you don’t have to now.

Made the most of the EB controller trade in. 2 new controllers for $50 is too hard to pass up.

I have an update for this that I can barely explain. So I will do my best lol.
So my circuit breaker tripped but only my PS5 in my room wasn’t working. My TV, BluRay player, PS3 were working. So I didn’t even think if was possibly a tripped circuit breaker. Then about 10 minutes later I noticed my PS3 wasn’t powered on. Went outside, checked everything and lo and behold my circuit breaker was tripped and everything was powered off in my bedroom. Flipped it to the “ON” position and my PS5 is now turning on, so it’s not dead. It’s weird because whenever my circuit breaker has tripped, everything goes off at the same time. This time my PS5 went off first and everything followed suit 10 minutes later.

As an electrician my first thought was to check the breaker but since that's the first point of call I assumed you had and didn't want to be insulting lol.
It's not uncommon to have separate circuits in the same room as GPOs could be piggy backing from another GPO in the same wall from an adjacent room that could be a separate circuit. Was the main breaker or just that circuit's breaker tripped? Breakers are designed to trip on a curve so if a circuit is only slightly overloaded then that combined with other loaded circuits can cause the main breaker to trip.
They are a safety switch/circuit breaker combo.
Maybe a faulty appliance in the house?

This is why I'm not a fan of those sorts of combo switches. I prefer a single RCD followed by breakers that way if a circuit trips you know it's over current and if the RCD goes you know it's an earth fault. I'm in industrial and commercial (motors and machines) so deal more with large boards with HRC fuses so would love to know from anyone in domestic to say how common these boards are. My house had some renovations just before we bought it recently so had the new design with a single main breaker and RCD followed by breakers which I think is required by law for new boards now.
Was that lone breaker the only one that tripped? And when you hit the test button does it actually trip correctly? I can't understand why the GPO where the PS5 was connected has no power while other stuff did before tripping their associated breaker.
Also with that fan you mentioned above test it on some different circuits over time and see what happens. Common culprits for tripping breakers are things with motors like fridges, fans, washing machines etc and anything that heats up like toasters and kettles.

The lone breaker was the only one that tripped, yes. I am not sure to answer your next question mate, I wish I was more experienced in this sort of thing. What I can say is I can’t understand why the PS5 was the only thing without power either, it’s never done that whenever we’ve had issues such as this.
Thanks for the additional info and the suggestion down the bottom.

Just a heads up for anyone who has the fancy new controller on order and for postal delivery. The release date is Thursday 26 January which is Australia Day and a public holiday meaning you probably won't get it delivered until Friday. So if you're like me and having it delivered to a work address and there is a good chance you won't be at work that Friday then make sure to update your shipping.
Mine was through JB and I just filled out an online form to request my delivery address be amended.

Good call. Pretty sure mine is click n collect. Need to remember even where lol

How may of you have the PS5 digital? Any regerts?

I do and no regrets. I stopped buying physical PS4 games years ago though as well as being a PC gamer I was already used to being a digital gamer anyway.
Yeah you pay a little bit more (still technically RRP though) on new games and you lose your trade in option but I guess you could argue it's more convenient. Only thing that sucks is how long first party games take to go on any meaningful sale on the PS store when they've already been heavily discounted for months in physical retail stores.
A decent connection also helps. I'm reliably getting 95-105mpbs on my NBN connection so it usually only takes an hour or two to fully download a game. Most new releases also allow for preloading a few days in advance which would help if your connection is a bit poo.
I have the physical PS5......
I have not played one physical disc in the machine as yet, all of my games have been digital titles thus far!
EDIT And those digital titles are a mix of old PS+ downloads, new/recent PS+ titles, some older PS4 titles I purchased on that console AND a few new titles (Gran Turismo 7 being one).

Yeah I haven't bought a disc in 2 years and I just gave away 100+ discs from various generations recently. I really don't want to start filling up my house with them again. Regarding pricing, are you able to buy from different regions on PS5? I remember buying a lot of games from the US store on the PS4.
