that new(ish) Norman Reedus Death Stranding game is $17.99 on Best Buys "deal of the day" so I just hit the order button on that.

It's ambitious and well-made, but for me, ultimately, it was too complicated and hard to get into.

seems to me like a game I would only be able to get into post break up or while bed ridden with mono/COVID. The vastness of that game just seems overwhelming to me and something I would only attempt to take on in one of those aforementioned scenarios where time is not an issue.

So I git an email from Sony that I can enter my name and have a chance at being picked to preorder the PS5 and apparently that is the way they are going to handle preorders

From direct.  There will still be store options.  

It's smart. Requiring a psn to sign in and pre-order a chance at a pre-order.  This way they can actually be sure they're giving them to actual players.  There's also limits on what you can purchase.

It came to my promotion folder and luckily just happened to see it.

Oh ok I wasn't sure exactly what was going on there. Either way I registered and hopefully I get picked. I registered with GameStop as well to notify me when they are accepting preorders.

I think PlayStation may be giving regular PSN members first dibs at launch release consoles.

Yeah it's also a good way to limit resellers from buying them all up.  This way it is actually associated with a psn account in which they can tell if you're active to weed out bots. It's pretty smart.

I saw a snippet somewhere earlier that said the prices hasnt even been announced yet. True? If so, who would preorder something they have no idea of the cost of??

Yes no prices were leaked. I'm sure once they actually launch the preorders they will announce the price with it. Also you can just cancel the pre order if it costs to much. 

Anyone preordering it most likely don't give a damn how much it costs lol. I know I don't

You will know price before actually pre-ordering. This is just a chance to pre-order direct.

And also limits grabbing new market share of people jumping from Xbox/PC to PS5.

I am thinking about getting the new PS5 for the single player games. 

Do I have to be online to play these games, guessing so? And do I have to have a paid subscription to play them?

No and no.  But as with anything else, you wouldn't get any updates if not online.  My ps4 is hooked up to wifi because it's only for updates.  My xbox is hard wired because I play multiplayer there.

That is what I figured but didn't know how PS worked with their online play

Online play historically did not require a subscription. That may be different now, or may be controlled by individual publishers. 
 

the trophy’s may be linked to online servers. Trophy’s are like post count on PlayStation

You need to be a PS Plus member to play online.  You also get discounts and free games every month.

During the PS3 days online was free.  But since the PS4 came out you need PS plus to play online.  Its $60 for a year.  You can get it for 1 month and 3 months but a year is better value.

Not sure if things will change when the PS5 comes out.
