PlayStation 5

Anybody watched the hardware official trailer already? It looks slick. I didn't predict the design was not the dummy version which was released earlier.

I hope this console doesn't suffer extreme heating which damages the disc sensor, resulting disc automatically force eject like my PS4 console.

Why do the insist on displaying it standing? It's so big, who has an entertainment unit that could hold it like that?

Like any new console, I'm not going to buy it at launch and wait for the price to come down and for there to be some games I'm interested in before picking it up.

Maybe it's a change for so many years of not standing vertically.

So do I. I'm not gonna buy a new console on the month they officially launch the sell. I'll wait for the most stable batch which the machine doesn't suffer extreme heat.

[Catastrophe]

I saw some images from the chinese announcement that shows the things on the side opening up for more airflow when the cpu needs to work harder.

[decade368990]

That means the machine this time won't hurt the cpu as it heats up?

[Catastrophe]

No way of knowing until it's actually released. I doubt it though. Not having a super dedicated cooling system guarantees it will.

Sony has finally announced the release dates. North America, Oceania, Japan, South Korea: November 12, 2020 and the rest of the world November 19, 2020.

It's expensive for us to buy the first batch: Base is US$499 while Digital is US$399.

I ain't in a hurry to get one. I can wait until next year.

[Catastrophe]

The $100 tag in an attempt to kill physical media is such a blatant play. Plus the announcement that game cost is increasing is scummy. Posturing to make everything as service in the future and control game prices plus kill the 2nd hand market.

I've never purchased a Sony console until a couple of years after release anyway, so I'll hang back and wait for a library to build up and prices to drop.

Is Sony going to make a pro version in the next few years?

Which one will you get if you're buying a console a few years later? The regular or the pro?

No one knows, but if there's a pro one released, I'll probably get it?

[Catastrophe]

They'll make some kind of updated version. All the companies have figured out people will double up on the same console for generations now. It's guaranteed.

Why do you prefer the pro version?

[Catastrophe]

GRAPHIXXXX!

I mean, isn't it kind of obvious? It'll probably be more powerful and faster. Nothing's luxury like getting back from a monster hunter and waiting a minute for the rest of your friends to finish coming out of the load screen

If I play GTA V single player on the PlayStation 5 pro version, does that mean I don't have to wait at the load screen time longer than I think? Considering the pro version has better functionality than the regular version.
