I figured we could go ahead and start this.

I wasn't able to watch it today, but Sony had a live event where they unveiled the PS5 console. I don't really have an opinion on the appearance yet, but it can be vertical or horizontal.

Both consoles look like dogshit.

I get what Xbox was trying to do with their "revolutionary" cooling design (lol).

At least the Xbox will work with 90% of people's houses and disappear into the background.

This thing is like what someone in 2002 envisioned "sleek" was going to look like in 2020.

Any word on backwards compatability?

I mean the version with the disk looks pregnant. Or something with a hump.

It's like the engineers finalized the "Digital" design thinking that was going to be the only version only for the leadership team to later come back and tell them they changed their mind and they will need a disk version too.

The PS5 is ugly as sin, but I’ll get it day one. Bought the ps3 and PS4 day one for years and it’s been great.

I don't care what it looks like I care what the game playing experience is like. How much better are the graphics and will Madden not suck playing it?

Are the controls any thing different than what I'm use too?

How expensive are the games going be?

It comes with the stand which allows you to keep the console in either position.

Fully backwards compatible, with some of the more recent version of games allowing you to upgrade to the PS5 version for free. It is going to be crazy to play old games on it since there will be zero loading time now.

God damn, this thing might be gigantic. About 14" tall possibly. That will definitely be a problem for a lot of people. I understand they wanted to get airflow to the GPU, but damn that is a big bitch.

DJJasonp · 06-12-2020, 08:36 AM

LOL....who gives a shit what it looks like.

What are load times?
What are graphics/gameplay?
What are exclusives?
How decent is the front-end UI?

these are the things that matter!

What if it looked like a fleshlight?

I guess that would depend on if it had silicone infused "real skin" on the inside.

It would really cradle those discs quite well.

**The Franchise** · 06-12-2020, 02:26 PM

Doesn’t matter because I’m going to buy one.
