Well, that's why you are not Sony.

It's easier said than done. Sentiments are low, emotions of the people ensuring that their voices are heard is at its all-time high - and like other forummers mentioned, Sony's announcement will be drowned within. What difference does it make if the announcement is on-time or at a later date? It is not going to affect the launch of the product, it's just an announcement and that can wait.

And just so you know, this doesn't just affect America - it's affecting the whole world. People are making their voices heard, standing up against injustice and discrimination. Then again, what does privileged people like you know about these right? Oblivious and ignorant.

Sony did the right thing, respect the voices of the people. A brand is nothing without the people, always remember that.

He probably just discovered that games can be downloaded 'digitally' today when he was browsing for consoles.

because of this, I need to change my monitor to a TV

True - but for isolated cases like me who uses a monitor + soundbar combo , eventually need to upgrade my ‘battlestation’

Yeah splitter would work, but might sacrifices some of the bells and whistles of the new-age audio format

I think Sony / Microsoft is indirectly asking you to upgrade your speaker setup to eARC compatible

I guess because since XBOX ONE is a no-piracy platform thus leading to the decline of players.

Then again, you can just subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate (GPU) to get 'free games' - and these games can range from quality AAA titles to indie titles. Now with the combination of EAPlay, GPU is really worth subscribing = better value than PS+ for sure.

I was a Playstation user from PSOne era until PS4 - only recently migrated to XBOX, no regrets at all.


Official or not, I don't think its really a big difference lol. Only a small marginal difference in terms of pricing that will fluctuate based on demand / supply.

In fact, I just pre-ordered my Series X with Gamers Hideout - they have both Series S and Series X ready for pre-order.

Buy ni, Day 1 sure alot of freebies lol

Lately they have been bundling alot of free stuff for Sony products - not sure if they will do it for the PS5.

I remember my Day 1 PS4 also no free stuff 🤣

You'll need a 4K 120hz TV to bring out the best of PS5.

Sony X90H series is the most bang-for-buck out there - can consider it.

Because Japanese culture is to not fix what is not broken.

They know that their stronghold is Asia - regardless of how average the PS5 would be in terms of performance or how expensive they price it, it will still have demand. This is arrogance and complacency at best.

If Sony knows that Asia is their stronghold, they should be focusing on building sufficient stocks to meet the demand in Asia - instead of trying to penetrate the European and American market so desperately because they know that Microsoft has already killed it there with the hype of the Series S and X.

I know Sony has a lot of strong followers and supporters, I was a Sony supporter from PS1 to PS4 - I jumped ship to XBOX this year and never looked back. The One X alone is already convincing enough, now eagerly waiting for my Series X to arrive in November.

In terms of building hype, they (Sony) probably don't want to go head to head with Microsoft now, but then again, if not now, when? We are only 1 month away from the next-gen launch, the nearer to the launch day, the more the hype is going to grow stronger and by then, it will be already too late for Sony.

Not really a fan of exclusives thou - I usually play mainstream games from 3rd party publishers, so the transition is easy.

Prepare TV and the waiting game begins

Imagine going with the Digital Version - how many games can you install

I honestly can't remember when was the last time I bought a disc game for my console - all the time only purchase digital versions until I don't even know how does the disc works anymore.

That’s a VR / AR filter lol.

Woah, for those queuing, please stay safe and I hope you managed to secure your units.

Wonder how many necks broke viewing this photo

You again

Pretty sure majority of the buyers are scalpers, leaving little to none for the ones who actually wants the console.

Hahaha website crashed.

Not even prepared to take in the traffic capacity.

Internally songlap already la

Ahh cunts. They’re doing the Machines dirty trick - forced PWP.
