Playstation 5

[Strangelove]

in a moment of weakness just now i decided i would preorder it (couldn't stop thinking about demon's souls), but when i clicked the link it was unavailable

Digital version <3

I just did a count and we have 3 physical PS4 discs. One came with the PS4, one was a Christmas present and the third was a game I picked up on sale. Definitely digital for me

 

[Nanaki Skywalker]

Even though I have the money right away, I'm waiting until after Christmas to buy it due to the obvious supply issues. I usually wait a year afterwards anyway. I'm going with the disc version, due to already having a physical collection of PS4 games and DVD/Blu Ray movies to begin with.

Pre-ordered the disk version from Amazon UK.

 

[Prism]

Yo, how were you guys all able to catch them in stock? Congrats!

 

[Lex]

Amazon UK have been out of stock for a while now, but I managed to get a pre-order in there this morning when it went live at 0900 so I will be cancelling my order with GAME (probably). I'm hanging off for a bit because I want the dualsense charging station with GAME, but I didn't get it on Amazon. So I'm waiting for that peripheral to come back in stock on its own, then if it doesn't I'll just amend my GAME order to just get the charging station from there.

I'm probably not going to bother until I know when FFXVI and VIIR-2 are coming.

That's honestly not surprising.

Same happened with PS2 and PS3. It slowly winds down as the new console gets more and more established and integrated within the consumer base.

Only Nintendo drove wooden stakes into hearts of the Wii U and 3DS as soon as possible

To be fair, you would also want to bury the Wii U if you made it.

No PS1-PS3 BC.

*pats PS3*
You get to live another day, old friend.

 

[Strangelove]

how much would i have to pay someone to get them to make a quality clone of a physical ps2, just recreate one exactly

could i make my own rasberry pi based emulated console

if sony won't help me here, i see no other choice

 

[looneymoon]

a retro PS2 in the vein of those retro-NES/SNES consoles could do really well I think. Better than that Playstation mini thing they released. Especially if was outfitted with wireless controllers and all that nice stuff.

 

[Strangelove]

if they made one with an actual disk drive, i would try to buy it straight away but not be able to because everything like this gets bought up by scalpers the moment it goes on sale

Did anyone really believe it would be this backwards compatible? It's a miracle we got this much. Going back 3 generations is unfathomable.

Consumer good will? The business perspective that embraces previous loyal purchases as a product investment that is to be rewarded, rather than phased out towards obsolescence?

Pfft, what is this, the fucking 70s?

To be fair, the costs of adding such long-lasting support for obsolesced formats would balloon the cost of a PS5 to nearly double the price it is now... And given stagnant wages, economic turmoil, and the shrinking margins for disposable income, there'd be no way a majority of gaming consumers would even be able to afford such an 'Omni-Playstation.' So, kudos for Sony for doing this much.

It's best to just take as much care of your older consoles as possible, and never sell them.

It's more that PS1 is super easy to emulate at this point, so there's no reason these mini-PCs shouldn't be able to just play it. PS2 isn't hard to emulate anymore either. As I posted before, I understand that PS3 wasn't realistic.

Yes, I have my PS2 and 3 hooked up, so it's fine. But seriously it would add almost no extra cost to emulate PS1 on this thing, lol.

 

[Strangelove]

i am willing to give them the ps3, since as far as i know its architecture was unusual

but i will not accept that for the ps1 and ps2

meet my demands, sony

 

[LegendarySaiyan]

I cancelled my pre-order, I had pre-ordered it in May...

In Norway it costs 5999kr($685) for the Standard Edition and 4999kr($570) for the Digital Edition.

I was expecting more like 4500kr-5000kr for the Standard Edition and 3500kr-4000kr for the Digital Edition :/

 

[Fangu]

NOK 5900 isn't much considering what we pay for a computer or a phone (which is easily double that amount) , but it's still pretty steep for a game console. I'm dreading what they'll be charging for games :/

 

[Keveh Kins]

I've enough of a backlog of PS4 games to work through that I'm in no rush to pick up the PS5 really. I might hold out for an inevitable PS5 Pro model somewhere down the line

Might just be a consequence of the year that's in it, but I feel much less excited for this next generation than I did leading up to the PS4 launch

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I;m hoping the price of Ghost of Tsushima will come down when the PS5 comes out.

These are my thoughts exactly. Unless I break down and build a PC

Definitely the biggest problem with the Dualshock4, hopefully they fixed it.
