[Official] Playstation 5

[AngelRomeo]

My friend just sold his for $460. (with 1 dualsense).
And even then, he said he got multiple offers from Carousell. We probably won't have any issue selling it for around $450 when the time comes.

Back to the PS5 pro, according to John Linneman from Digital Foundry, FF7 Rebirth on Pro mode 60 fps looks BETTER than Fidelity Mode 30fps on the vanilla PS5.



But the damage is done. Everyone's taking the $700 too expensive and marginal upgrade over PS5 as gospel and running with it.


Scroll down to this wiki about FUD and see who's the biggest culprit.

i think it will be better on pc though

That is why I don't go to these mainstream gaming outlets for news anymore.
Eurogamer use to be good. But at some point, they started posting like IGN(before acquisition), into my block list they goes....

I know long ago that Digital Foundry has always been pro-Xbox. Only in recent times that they are trying to be fair and objective. Maybe because PS5 just outperform the xboxes so much that they just can't find excuses anymore.

Beside that, I have never been a big fan of DF. As a tech geek, I appreciate the nitty-gritty analysis of a game on different platforms. But the results are always misuse by fanboys for console warring.

Unless there's a huge differences or doing side-by-side comparison, most gamers' experience of a game won't be affected when actually playing the game.

Ryan McCaffrey - Use to have a lot more respect for the guy when I follow tech news more closely back in the early-mid 2010s. He was around the industries. And ya, that "moneyhat Wukong" was my last straw for him....

Jez Corden - He is just an idiot with insider sources. How he got the job at Window Central, I do not know...

Digital Foundry doing massive damage right now with their *Alan Wake 2 is 840p on the pro" patreon video.

People who don't know how machine learning upscaling works, like DLSS/FSR are going around spreading that ps5 pro is capable of only 840p 60fps.

You can be sure lots of influencers are busy making videos right now - 840p but $700 usd with a stupid expression on their face on the thumbnail.

Meanwhile more negative videos about the ps5 pro from digital foundry are out (DF Clips)

Besides Digital Foundry with the constant fire on ps5 pro, IGN launched their concerted attack on the pro as well with several of their editors.

I have not seen this level of astroturfing by Microsoft before in my life

This amount of concerted attacks on the ps5 pro is like deja vu from the pre-release period of the PS5. (PS5 is RDNA 1 and only 8 teraflops etc)

There's certainly criticism to be made for the pro, but I'm not sure most of what I've seen from these "journalists" have been in good faith.


And throughout the lifespan of the Ps5, there has been constant FUDs against the ps5 like

1) the liquid metal leaking.
2) Sony putting in a smaller cooler in the newer revisions of the ps5
3) putting the ps5 vertically will spoil the ps5
4) exclusive games are bad and anticonsumer. 5) Pressure to put playstation first party games day one on psn extra and also day one on pc by the media.

I can't remember everything but wow. The extent that the media/astroturfers have been doing to damage the ps5 has been pretty nuts isn't it?

Tying up some loose ends for BMWK right now (imho, its still a 9/10 for me despite some issues) and then will pause for a while. I'll do its NG+ after playing the game with a Happy Robot Tune.......

Sian.. my controller started to drift.. I don't even play much on it.

Wa.. Destin Legarie become director sia. I still remember the times when he's hosting hard news on screw attack.

Bro, you need to start ignoring IGN now. At this point, you already know what they are, you're just hate watching/following right now. It's not healthy. It's not productive.

Personally for me, I would analyse to see if the price difference (OG Vs PRO) is justifiable when we talk about the upgrade from OG to PRO. Okay, then buy, not okay, then skip and wait for PS6. Simple.

So, how's our new favourite PS mascot, Astro Bot so far?

Hi all, what's the best storage to get now?

Samsung 990 Pro 2TB ($221 @ Amazon SG)
or
WD SN850X 2TB ($215 @ Amazon SG)

Need to buy the version with heatsink? I see Amazon SG prices cheaper than Shopee and Lazada, i assume people here will get from Amazon SG then?

I am looking for one too. Best to get with heat sink.

On another note slightly regret getting the disc drive version thought games on disc won’t be using much space but how wrong am I should have just gone with the non disc version with a 4tb ssd looks nicer also.

Highly recommend to use a heatsink. You can also use 3rd party heatsink if you bought a non heatsink version

I am using the Samsung 990 Pro with heatsink. I thought it's mandatory to have heatsink in order to maintain SSD health.

Where u got your ssd from ah? I would think so it’s mandatory to have heatsink too, just want confirmation.

Price is not a concern for me (my gaming laptop is $4999 ) so i really want this.

The question for me is not cost but availability. Is it even officially available for preorder in Singapore?

 

[Darkorochix]

Wonder how they gonna sell this in other region...
Got the 20th on a lucky draw

I'll be happy to just have the 30th anniversary DualSense (not Edge) but I wanna ask, will stick drift or not?

I want one too even though I'm not nostalgic of growing up with console gaming.
