You mean like accusing someone of being a heartless cheap ass and incredibly stupid?

No, I mean like a tiny piece of bread.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

No, I mean like a tiny piece of bread.

But... all bread is good. Even tiny pieces. I guess except pumpernickel and rye. I don't care for those two much at all. lol

 

[Axido]

Yes, and it is kind of annoying to have to go look for the disc when the whole game is installed on your console, you have the icon to select it, you can run it but it still asks you to go fetch the disc without a real purpose as if you were a dog.

Times must have been harsh when you had to put in a CD back when the console (i.e. the PS1 through PS3) actually had to read data off of it in order to play the game.

If you don't mind your right to resell a game, you can still buy the digital version. Otherwise it's just like the good old times, but with the added "benefit" of you having time for a cup of tea or two while that stupidly big game you just bought and can't wait to play installs on your stupidly small hard drive. I find that more annoying than fetching a disc from my usually decently arranged collection.

 

[tabzer]

Oh please. Stop trying to play the innocent here. It's not working. Your charity and software/hardware comments were pure blatant insinuations at how you viewed my intelligence. I also quite clearly stated that the drive requires other components even if built in to the same motherboard as the rest of the PS5. I never once said anything about an entire extra motherboard. At all. You injected that nonsense all on your own.

And you want to continue the intelligence insults & make comments about reading properly? LOL! Okay bud. I'm finished with this. Okay? Thanks.

There's no innocence here. It's simple. You were being a putz and I was pointing it out. I said that if I asked, you would reject contributing to charity; and here it is--I didn't even ask and you jumped to self-martyring and lashing out. How can one be more pathetic one would wonder. How about it? Will you give me fifty bucks? I thought not...

heartless cheap ass and incredibly stupid

You also stated previously, that the PS5 would need to integrate player hardware, beyond the drive, and that it would cost Sony more than $50 to do it. If you feel like your intelligence is being insulted it's purely projection from a guilty conscience. Okay? Thanks.

Times must have been harsh when you had to put in a CD back when the console (i.e. the PS1 through PS3) actually had to read data off of it in order to play the game.

Back then it made sense, on the one hand you didn't have to wait half an hour for the game to install, you just put the disc on and you played; on the hand other hand it actually made sense to put the disc in as the data had to be read from the disc, not the case anymore with current consoles, you shouldn't need to put the disc in if the game is already installed, there's no real need to do it other than a cumbersome DRM sloution.

If you don't mind your right to resell a game, you can still buy the digital version. Otherwise it's just like the good old times, but with the added "benefit" of you having time for a cup of tea or two while that stupidly big game you just bought and can't wait to play installs on your stupidly small hard drive. I find that more annoying than fetching a disc from my usually decently arranged collection.

I think you could develop a less greedy approach to this type of DRM, e.g. if you put the disc into the console once in the last week/month don't ask for it again. Sure you could say "ah, but that opens the possibility of neighbors using the same game together just sharing the disc here and there", to what I would reply "yeah, don't be so greedy".

Wow. Talk about triggered & completely delusional. I've had enough of your severe mental illness and illiteracy. Added to ignore list. Buh-bye now.

I hear that some people drive a oversized trucks because they are compensating for their lack of big penis. What are 30 emojis compensating for?

Compensates for lack of base for an argument sure, but I'm not sure who you are replying to.
I think I did my "ignore" work right this time around.
I was almost unaware of the ongoing drama, saves time required to skip through it.

 

[tabzer]

I'm here, wondering how to properly commend you on your artistic post @sarkwalvein .

 

[Pokemon_Tea_Sea_Jee]

PS5 really is huge. Even more so when you compare it with other consoles.
View attachment 213140

PS5 is the first ever mainline launch games machine by Sony that I do not like the look of.

 

[Minox]

Not a big fan of the design, but the games look cool enough. That being said, if I were to get a newer console I would probably opt for the Xbox and Xbox Game Pass. For me who mainly does my gaming on PC I don't feel like investing too heavily into any console.

I feel you. Console manufacturers lack in the fairness department and when it comes to reselling what you bought, they sure try their best to get rid of even the mere possibility. We all remember how MS tried to make the Xbone an always online console. Now Sony gets their take by releasing a (most probably cheaper) all digital PS5. I'm curious how well that thing will sell and I hope it won't at all.

The way to go would be to finally make digital purchases resellable. That way I wouldn't even mind physical game releases vanishing, since digitally sold goods are more eco-friendly anyways.

 

[Obveron]

I'd say this thing will be no less than $599 USD. Even at that price it will be sold at a loss. XSX might be $699.

 

[wartutor]

I say they both will be $699 to $899. Probably be the same price as 1 another.

 

[spotanjo3]

I fear that this system can be breakable. Look at the tips of the console ? They can be bend or break off. I will be careful because I always wear cloth over my PS4 to protect from dust when not in used. I am very fusy and I also use the cloth to cover Nintendo Switch too since NES when I was teenager and still today as an adult.

They are expensive and shouldn't be neglect like I see many consoles and portable in the PAWN shop and in Ebay.. Bad care and poorly. Sad!

I say they both will be $699 to $899. Probably be the same price as 1 another.

Hahahaha. Sony is not going to make same mistake twice. I got a feeling that Digital might be 499 and Standard might be 599. Dont forget that Sony wants to competitive against Microsoft. Microsoft is going to sell it cheaper than Sony. We shall wait and see.

 

[ReUnmei]

May this Console War Burn more then the Xbox 360....

 

[TomTalker]

The PS5 looks sleek and smooth. Xbox Series X not that appealing.

 

[MetoMeto]

Ok this looks a bit better visually than what i initially saw it will look like.
Controller is so unoriginal its almost boring...at least it follows the console's style. But it looks like a regular PS4 controller with some white skin/coat.

Anyway, consoles shouldn't look like PC towers, that's just stupid design imo. I already have a PC at home, i don't want another one.

I wish Conosle manufacturers make some original designs like they used to instead of this minimalistic crap,
(i don't think of minimalism as a crap per se, its just a figure of speech, but the market is just so over-saturated with these faceless, flat, smooth designs. My eyes don't have anything to follow and "eat")
i imiss times when consoles are small and interesting to look at, and every console had its own "character" and it's their trademark.
Even Play Station 1 looks original and memorable.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

bruh
stop trying to kill my hype
console wars are retarded

When did we started blaming other people opinions for how we feel about stuff?

If someone killed your hype by text on the screen than you where probably falsely hyped, meaning you didn't like this think on your own, but others pulled you into liking.
I mean if you really like something no one can kill your mood.

Besides, i don't see how console wars are stupid. They are kinda natural, since some like this some like that and they clash, hence "war". Not everione is ZEN buddhist.

Some people have strong feelings about some things and are willing to defend their preference, beliefs and views. i don't see that as a bad thing per se. If nothing it makes this borring gaming scene a bit more interesting if nothing. I mean it's not like its a literal war! xD

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Would love to see the hardware at the end.

Id more like to see games

Anyone else hearing rumors about the pricing? Saying it's between $600-$750 USD. If so, Playstation is gonna have another PS3.

And that's cheap?!?!?
Thats literally 2 average paychecks in my country!

Obviously this is console for the ritch.

Anyway, i really wish they stop with this and just make more affordable consoles, or at least manufacture older consoles for cheaper prices.
I mean games are games, no matter where they are played.
Ninrtendo did it with mini consoles it just proves they CAN make but they just push new stuff, which i don't have any problem with but at least make it more affordable for more people and not for elite ones.

 

[Payne]

Man these Router and Binder memes are going out of control lul.

That's what i've been waiting for tbh lol

And that's where PCs come in!
The thing i love about gaming PCs (besides all the obvious advantages it has over consoles) is the fact that no matter how you build your PC it will always be a memorable design. Maybe it's because of the RGB, or maybe it uses a mini ATX and is almost as small as a console, maybe it's built into the desk, maybe it's built on the wall, or it just uses a case you really really like. maybe you like the design of the graphics card, or the motherboard, no matter what it is PC designs will stick with you for one reason or another, even the prebuilt ones
