I thought the big thing with these ninth gen consoles was that they were powerful enough upon release that's there's no need for a mid gen refresh this time.
sigh literally just got my PS5 like 8 months ago.
Why do gamerstm get excited about being exploited like this instead of getting mad about being ripped off?
Lol some slightly better frame rates and visuals at best.
I refuse to buy any new Playstations that are not black and horizontal and significantly cheaper. A white tower, not only doesn't physically fit with my setup, it will ruin the aesthetics.
Is that superficial? Yes. But I don't see a point in a new Playstation anyway.
PS5 is horizontal and vertical, like PS2, 3, and some 4s. They also make black plates for it, both official and aftermarket.
Oh, really? I didn't know either of those things. Thanks!
Still not buying it though.
Yeah don’t blame you. It’s a good console, but not a lot to play on it that you can’t play elsewhere.
I mean, it's fucking $500.
Gaming is an expensive hobby. My PC was around $1,500. I prefer the console because it’s silent and smaller, and it runs slightly better than my PC. But any option other than a Switch or a Steam deck is gonna run you a few hundred at least.
I'm not a g*mer anymore.
Making the current generation of consoles not fit in people's entertainment centers was an extremely rare smart move by both sony and m$ actually. Trying to stuff that much exhaust heat into tiny enclosed shelves is dumb and people would absolutely have done it if it were physically possible.
