freebies? most likely just meh stuff like they usual gives, PSN vouchers, bag, extra warranty and such

don't expect something premium

IMO low yield = QC issue = trouble for first adopter

good luck to early buyers

Nintendo Switch is the best for your 6 yr old

most of the "interactive" cute games are on Switch anyway

if you really want to jaga her mata, Nintendo Switch is the one to go, at least it has a parental control app where you can control her screen time, there's none on other consoles

but if really wanna jaga mata? avoid let her play any video games until she's much older


what processing power you're concern about here? All of switch games can be played on big screen anyway, no issues with my 4K 75" screen also

I have all the consoles btw...

yup, it's huge and it's tall, confirmed my current shelf wont fit vertically

this year end scalpers gonna be laughing all the way to the bank

Digital or Disk doesn't matter, you'll still need the game to be installed on the SSD in order to play

Disk version only will give you the advantage of a 4K bluray player and ability to re-sell the game disk

other than this 2, there's really no other differences.

Why care about what version others are getting? Just get the version that suits your need

For me, I won't buy at launch, most likely gonna wait for the next Hardware revision release a year later
but I'll be getting the digital version, as I don't buy physical disk anymore, finding that keeping/re-selling the disks are a big hassle, as well as the noise of disk spinning in the drive is annoying
digital games are also a lot more cheaper during sales, and for those new games you die die want to play on launch day? you can preload and play at zero hour

That's a... HUGE move from MS

and that's tonnes of AAA games will be gone from PS5!
New Fallout series, new Elder Scrolls series, new Wolfenstein series, new Doom series & etc
all those were well received in the west

Maybe Sony should make a purchase also to counter it, purchase Square Enix maybe?

One will own the west while another own the east

don't expect 4K 120Hz console game play to be here anytime soon

even top spec PC are struggling to get that

judging on the current spec of both PS5 & XBsX?
maybe they can output that as max, but don't expect a consistent frame rate of 120

if we can have a consistent 4K 60fps I'm a very happy gamer already

IMO, 4K 120 is still a pipe dream

just need to buy over Kojima Production, sure many PS fanbois gonna flip tables

judging from the current news of next gen game size and the price of the expandable storage from other side (RM1K for 1TB)... it doesn't looks good IMO

- 1TB gonna get filled up very fast
- Still no news from Sony on how we can upgrade the SSD storage, 1TB NVME PCIE 4 SSD also cost a bomb nowadays, RM1k+, doubt Sony is generous enough to add in a secondary storage slot

where? mind sharing the source?

AFAIK Sony only said the storage is expandable, but never said how

IMO an additional NVME slot for storage upgrade which majority of us won't be using is very unlikely
It's effectively killing off their own future consoles revision with higher storage capacity
Why would I go buy a new 2Tb version of PS5 if I can just go buy off the shelf 1TB SSD that's compatible and plug it in?
or just go buy a much cheaper 512Gb SSD to make it 1.5Tb?

MS is doing it differently, at least they'll profit from the sales of their proprietary expansion module, and MS is always very anal about upgrade/changing your own storage.

Urm... maybe I'm blind, after gone thru the article 3 times I still don't see any mention of the extra slot for upgrade? mind pointing it to me?

I already made up my mind that I won't be getting any of the next gen consoles at launch, or even this year
but from the barrage of positive reviews on XBsX, now I'm very tempted to get the XBsX first

PS5? meh... I still won't move an inch to get it anytime soon, I don't understand why Sony is still so secretive or slow in their marketing...

No, it's a customized NVME SSD using the the M.2 slot, you can swap out that original SSD with your own NVME SSD, similar on PS4 with sata HDDs

unlike PS4 sata HDDs, where you can reuse anywhere else, it's unlikely our PC will recognize the original PS5 NVME SSD due to it's customized firmware

MS just need to get & release Idolmaster as Xbox exclusive and they'll have no issues selling it in Japan like X360 era

my bad, I jumped to conclusion based on few articles only

after watching thru original Mark's 1 hour presentation again, it seems the 825Gb is soldered on, with an M.2 slot for expansion

apologies

but using an expandable M.2 slot will create another issue, most M.2 SSD today aren't as fast as the built in one

IMO if you installed an uncertified one, it might still work, but you won't be able to get the performance similar to the internal SSD, so there could be another round of file juggling between the 2 storage for best performance?

I'm an optical wireless headset player, my existing headset is compatible with both PS4, PC & XB1 via optical
need to save up enough for the next gen headset also, seems I won't be able to find a wireless headset that's compatible with both PS5 & XBsX
guess next gen gotta wait a little longer for me

Wonder what's wrong with Sony this time round, it's less than one & half month before official launch, yet we still have very minimal info on the console itself

How is the UI gonna look like?
Where's the teardown?
What's the performance of current gen games on it like?
etc...

While the other camp is already overloaded with those info early on.
