PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Sony's starting to reveal a little more about the PS5 via Wired and their own blog.
Since I'm trying to write this as I dash out the door (stupid dented Toy Story 4 steelbook from Best Buy!), I'll copy/paste Kotaku's summary:

re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Wow, there wasn't an official PS5 thread?
I'm looking forward to this. And I'm glad they're continuing to support physical discs, and having a 4K drive will be great. |
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Definite a day 1 purchase for me.

re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Physical 4K disc support!* :bdance: The controller sounds amazing. Hopefully the new features aren't totally abandoned after 6 months like the touchpad on the DS4.
*I wonder how many lost PS4 Pro sales there were because of the decision to not support it. I know I personally bought a Xbox One Slim FOR the 4K support over a PS4 Pro. |
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I'd be up for a Playstation 5, count me in!
|
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Wasn't it going to be priced at $800 or something on release day?
|
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Obviously a day one purchase regardless of price. Bring on the Amazon pre-order!

PS3 and XB1 tripped right out of the gate with their high price tags and struggled to recover. |
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Yeah, releasing a console at $800 would be suicidal.

I'm not sure if we're even interested in a PS5 at this point. We finally got a PS4 this past summer for my son's birthday, we found a used one with a few games pretty cheap and he plays Spider-Man a bit, but that's about it. Otherwise we use it as our primary Bluray/DVD player in the living room. |
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
As mainly a PC gamer these days, I only just got a PS4 in August 2018 when a friend offered to sell me his for $175 including two controllers and 15 games because he was buying the Spider-man PS4 Pro bundle upgrade. The last console I bought before that was a PS3 and that was several years after it had been out and I honestly didn't play it a whole lot. So I'm not really interested in buying any next-gen consoles. It's really going to come down to whether there is any exclusive I really really want to play and if I come across some major deal on the console I can't pass up. Otherwise, I'm fully content with gaming on my PC. I use my PS4 controller on PC too, lol.

This PS 5 is going to take it to another level. Pretty awesome they are showing 4K support. This gives 4K media more life.

re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Sign me up. I skipped the Pro so this will be an easy choice. I just have to start saving now...
|
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Anyway... Cool. Depending on "where I'm at" this time next year, I might have to hold off on buying it early, but I will eventually get it. My PS4 Pro has got a bit more use in the last couple years with a few LRG discs and Nier: Automata and Horizon: Zero Dawn. I probably still won't bother with PS+ though... Not really sure why I never bothered to sign up, but I feel like it's way too late to start with that now. |

re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
Sounds about right. Kotaku also changed that bullet point.
|
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I'm in.
|
re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I'm in on day one. I have always bought both systems (PS and XB) But this time I around, I think I'm just going with the PS5. My poor Xbox One X is nothing but a dust collector, as I can't tell you the last time I played it.

I bet you they do, though...there will be a "loaded" version for $700 to $800 and a "bare bones" one for $500 to $600. I feel the opposite...I can't imagine them selling for less than $500 to $600. Wasn't the buzz on the PS3, as expensive as it was at the time, that it was actually a loss leader for Sony?

re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
There is not going to be a $800 model. You are not going to see a video game console release for over $400-500 anytime in the next 5 years.

re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I'm in eventually. Got the Spidey PS4 Pro after my launch 4 was about to die. We'll see price point and how I feel next year.

re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20
I was going to upgrade my PS4 this Winter to a PS4 Pro (for 4K) but I might as well wait for this.
