Welp. Haven't seen anything this morning..maybe they speak around noon today.

After that, it's a holiday weekend and I'll call no event next week. Yikes, then it'll certainly be mid-September or later before we *may* get a chance to order one of them.

Kinda losing interest for this year, honestly...feet dragging and they'll be as chaotic and nigh-impossible to obtain as PS2. Seen this rodeo before..

House set him up so well no matter what he does Sony wins with 70% plus market share. My point is he is lucky to be facing a late and under funded phil Spencer. If this was his strategy versus a properly funded Peter moore he would get his clock cleaned. Jim "money hat" Ryan is just ego stroking at this point being a secret squirrel to try to show he is the man.

The late pre order date ensures no second wave of pre orders making them more valuable hence more scalpers. This is a 1 shot deal outside a few retailers who will gouge with "bundles". Your cart crashes and your at the mercy of retail bundles. Also the late date puts more casual gamers in the queue for xmas gifts.
Thank god Peter Moore went to Liverpool FC.

To be fair, despite its lack of exclusives, the Series X will have the performance of a PC build that would cost almost $1500 to buy from scratch this fall. $600 is a good value. (And forgive me I'm not a PC user so this build could be wrong.)

:messenger_grinning: The consoles will always be the better value that's for sure. Looks like a nice build, I'd scrap that CM PSU though. You can get a really nice Super Flower (either brand direct or rebadged as high-end evga or antec models) at the same price.

If whe have not an announcement today from sony
I bellieve that whe have something next week from them for an event , to the midle of september

Mid is Ubisoft and Call of Duty and end is TGS20. I think we might get UI or teardown (or both) this month (a video drop, not an event) but an event with price/pre-orders next month. As crazy as this may sound.

Most of the lag in the PS4 UI was due to network, not the HDD. Try using it with the Internet turned off to see the difference. Unless the PSN servers become more responsive, expect a similar lag in the PS5 UI.

Yep. Both mine are hardwired. Nothing ever lagged. I can even browse the store and PSNOW list near instant.
 
Salesman: "What are you in the market for sir?"

Customer: "Well I'd like to spend around $500, and get a really streamlined out of the box experience with an OS focused only on gaming and video streaming apps, and it needs to be small because I don't have much room in my entertainment stand."

Salesman: "Well, can I interest you in hunting down deals on a dozen different parts totaling over $1500? You'd have to build the machine, install an OS not streamlined at all for gaming, and the experience is best if you have a desk and a monitor but theoretically you could re-arrange your living room furniture, spend another $100 on a wireless keyboard and mouse and use the thing from your couch. Good luck if something has small fonts though since the software in general is designed for you being a few feet from a monitor, I'm sure a few hours of googling and tinkering with mods can solve that."

Customer: "WOW! That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for! I've spent my whole life console gaming but a series of graphics cards costing over $500 totally convinced me to switch!"

Biggest peeve for me is while running certain games and going to the home screen

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
I have like 15 consoles in my house, 2 gaming desktops, 2 gaming laptops, and a gaming PC hooked up to a TV lol

I can play any Playstation game between my PS4 and PS3 fatty, any Xbox game other than OG XBox not BC supported (my modded XBox fried, oh well), have Dreamcast, all the Nintendos back to 64.. and like 50 ways to emulate every pre-N64 console lol

My point is; not everyone ever wants to deal with PC gaming.. no matter how powerful the graphics cards are.. it's not a choice people make as though PC and console are easily switched between, it's a totally different beast to take on.

:messenger_smiling_hearts:

oh wait... so do I... are you my wife??

Silly question though, why not emulate post n64 consoles? RPCS3 is the way to play Demons Souls, 1 second loading times on the m.2 drive xD

edit: nvm... you didn't mention 2 ps vitas, one oled and another lcd model bought just because of vanity blue color... i guess it's not my wife's account afterall :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Of course its gettig old, my point was not about Halo (joke), it was about native 4K60 vs temporal 4k60 if they are remastering and adding some nice effects and IQ over and above ultra settings.
It's a free upgrade. Pretty sure they just gonna up res and settings. Not totally redo things.

I mean it's not even people overhyping at this point. You've Sony dudes hyping up PS5 and some games like Demon Souls, you've the people that getting preorders PMs, i mean if with all this it ain't happening soon then idk lol
 
I totally agree with you Nvidia power won't kill Xbox but it can make a dent in its hardware sales.

And I think they looked at the venn diagram of people interested in Pc, people interested in Xbox and people interested in Xbox games.
Then if releases their games on pc makes them more money than the dent in hardware then It's a profit....Not even counting that their games can become a garteway toward the Xbox ecosystem and games (same reason why Horizon just came out on PC).
So of course people interested in consoles and Xbox games will buy an Xbox and that's great for them.But for the people leaning toward a pc that can find redundancy wth an Xbox they still get to buy their games ...It's a win win situation.
well, you can try the venn diagram of people interested in pc, people interested in playstation, and people interested in playstation games.
same thing there.
I don't think horizon and death stranding came to pc as a gateway to playstation hardware. to me it looks more like ...exactly how microsoft found the way to pocket money from pc gamers.
remember, sony and ms pay a lot of money for their fancy studios to make these games.
and I blame neither of those companies for pc. its all good. I'd even say that because sony has royally ...fucked up the enhanced backward compatibility thing, it will be more beneficial for playstation games than for xbox games in the long run.
