    Pre-ordered PS5, but I'm honestly not happy with sony on how they are treating their VR consumers on next generation.
    Was expecting to be able to easily use my PS VR on better hardware, but sounds like VR is getting the PS VITA treatment.

    Back then things were built to last. OG Nokia will still work but an OG iPhone won't have a chance now.

    Guess it's just part of the manufacturing process, things are built with a certain life span so consumers are forced to buy again or upgrade.

    Microsoft didn't only buy Bethesda, they bought ZeniMax

    don't be ridiculous. you can say that you don't care for Microsoft's IPs (like I said, it's pretty much the same for me for the most part) but their entire library isn't garbage. the last thing Phil Spencer said about Bethesda sounds like they would be fine without putting Elder Scrolls 6 on any third party platform. and again, gamepass is an insane value for whoever wants to subscribe to it.

    Microsoft IPs are s--- in 2020 and if their best ad is a good price to play old games on gamepass then that’s just embarrassing.

    Can’t think of any discernible reason to buy an Xbox but hope a lot of people do because a Sony monopoly would be terrible

    Mr. Broly Bolo Bro-Bro Foley Solo, where'd ya Go-Go like an Adubowale Folarin Fort Miner Remix? *Salute* I respect your decision, but had to interject with my opinionated equivalent of a double-specie-lent incentive. PC, PS5, XBOX 1989, it doesn't matter, slahm. I'm rockin' witcha. Since RapBasement Curdy_Cuzzin days, Katie Holmes. We go way back.

    I don't like this guy after the videos he put out for the Escobar phone but he's the first YouTuber that made this comparison video that I've come across

    I've seen instagram stories of people who already got their Series Xs. But for me personally my Ps5 isn't getting here till next week

    Mine ships tomorrow. Been thinking about it and am probably gonna list it on ebay. They're going $300 over right now and there's really only one game I want to play out of the box. If I sell it now I can get one early next year and save a few bucks

    Step one of purchasing a PS5, get a TV that does it justice. I've had my TV now for about 7 years and even then it was last year's model.

    It's a Full HD 3D TV. It was great when I got it and it's still doing great now but I won't see the visual difference moving from a PS4 to a PS5 without utilising 4k.

    Therefore this is on my hit list. 6 months ago it was £1699. Last week it was £1399. Early Black Friday deals online have brought it down to £1299 today.

    I'm going to wait until Black Friday to see if it's reduced any more. If it goes to £1099 then it's a done deal and I'll pay for out there and then. £1199 and I'll strongly consider it. Anything more than that and I'll wait until the 2021 model is released and this goes down in price because of that.

    I’m gonna try and cop a PS5 if possible. No clue how covid impacted manufacturing and if PS5 will be stocked on shelves or if they’re gonna be sold out everywhere. But as soon as I can get my hands on one I will. Mostly cause I’m bored though. I won’t pay a penny over sticker price. Don’t need one that badly. Plus there aren’t a ton of launch games I care about.
