re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
The Wii did via dumbed down releases without HDMI and gamecube support and all that stuff. The WiiU tanked so it was never going to get a price drop.
Seems like now(or earlier this year) would have been a better time for a price reduction than this coming Winter where they will be competing against themselves with the PS5.

Nope, the Wii had one of those proprietary A/V ports and never made a first party HDMI version. There were 3rd party solutions available though.
Neither the OG nor dumbed down release had it natively.

I wonder if Sony does have a VR update coming in a year or two? I would bet they do but don't want to overwhelm the consumers with a new expensive console and likely as close to just as expensive new VR set. I think they want to focus on the sales of the consoles and get a good base in as many households for the first year or so. Then we will likely hear rumblings of a new VR after that. Just my guess.
I am always years behind on the PS anyway. Hell, I just finished God Of War yesterday.

I have all of the God of War games, never played any of them. My backlog goes back to PS2, lol.
At this point, I should wait until the remaster the entire series for PS5, so I can buy them all again.

I may have told this embarrassing story before but many, many years ago I received a demo disc for the PS2 about some dude that jumps around hacking at people. I played it for five minutes before ejecting the disc and tossing it aside thinking that they had chosen a poor concept for a game demo and that nobody would want to play it.
Fast forward a bit and everybody is heralding the coming of the greatest new franchise ever, God of War.
Yup, same game.

So if you are a PS Plus member, should everything transfer to the PS5? Mainly, I'm talking about what's in your wallet. I have thought about buying some PlayStation gift cards and adding them to my wallet, so I would be ready to shop on day one.

Absolutely will. They've been great about transferring both purchases and your wallet forward through several console generations.

I don't know where Google's getting that from, but that's not true -- or at least not all of it. I placed my preorder for the PS4 (and the XB1) at Amazon on June 10th, 2013. At the very least, we had a price.

Deathloop delayed. Pretty sure this had PS5 launch exclusivity.

It's only a price increase if you want to play it on both consoles...

Standard edition works ONLY on PS4/Xbox One X. Go to the link. To play on PS5 or Series X, you have to pay $10 more. Sure you get "feature" of backward compatibility in addition, but if you have newest system, you likely aren't playing on older system.

Registration to preorder PS5 directly from Sony: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ca...ct-pre-orders/
Appears to be some sort of lottery-like system.
