its SSD is much larger. though i waited for the pro, before i decided to get a playstation 5.

its better than the vanilla ps5,
maybe worth it for 4k, but i doubt it will do native 4k gaming

Ps5 and 7900xt Pc owner here. Was really looing forward to buying day 1 but $959 CAD plus tax, then add another $100 for the disc drive. That is $1,059 plus tax for an upgraded PS5 that i'll only us here and there. Nah fam, i'm out.

PSSR has me very intrigued though as does the RT potential. The Game Boost option seem cool too, but not enough was shown to warrant a purchase right now.

think i will wait for the second batch, just in case they mess up something in the first batch.

No disc? Revolt now! Or itll be like steam but worse. Sony will take away all your games every new generation. You will lose access to the store your hdd will never fit all the games. Just like the Wii U store.



Playstation 6

No disc drive
Needs activation online
Subscription for online aka nintendo
Game pass all game access for big money
No game prevervation or backup methods

are you blind?
there are so many since launch day

just because they are also ported to ps4 xbone and earlier does not mean they are not designed or ported to ps5

the ps5 controller (dualsense) has adaptive triggers, that do different effects in games designed for the ps5

How big is a Blu-Ray? 60GB? 90GB? A Blu-Ray can't hold a PS4 game let alone a PS5 or even 6. physical is dead until someone creates a cost effective medium that can keep up with increasing file sizes.

bd is ~25g/layer and can go many many layers, 10+ if needed, but cost goes up for more

most games shipped on disc need updates anyway
there is no way to get around online sub or account with the ps3 and xbone newer

psx with online support cloud save
you can also backup your saves to usb

same with xbone and newer, even without any sub, all games are saved on cloud, and you can backup saves or game data to usb

there is a disc drive. you just have to buy it and install it.

4k bluray disc is 128gb max.

guess they could go for HVD on future models. sony could easily buy out the company that invented them and then use them. they have a capacity of 3.9 terrabytes.

[C1REX]

not the best value but I was considering getting a console for a moment just because there are almost no cheaters. It's not possible to install scripts on a non hacked ps5.

[ZAP]

I'd rather have a Series S and Rare Replay.
