OCH Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Personally, I doubt I'll get more than one or two games at a time. So I don't see it being an issue. Even on my Switch, I've got less than 10 games and delete the ones I finish and/or get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'll never really understand the fins I guess. I wonder what it would look like if you just ripped them off or something. They look like they're trying to hide how bulky it is by making it bulkier, if that makes sense. Worst design for one of these systems stil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like someone saw how many places dust gathered in all the PS4 pro nucks and crannies and designed ways to make it worse but then they were told to make it white so it’s less noticeable. Then to really take the piss the PS logo is cut into it to snag your duster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 In Other News... Quote Scalpers on eBay have made the PlayStation pre-order situation even worse, with absurd mark-ups and some having multiple consoles to sell. Sony may have started off PlayStation 5 pre-orders without a warning but what happened next is the most predictable thing ever: scalpers have made a mockery of the whole situation by sell pre-orders on eBay. Obviously they can’t sell the consoles themselves, because they don’t come out until 12 November (19 November in the UK) so the eBay listings are just for the pre-order details, which in many cases won’t be 100% guarantees of getting a console at launch. And then there’s the prices. As we write this one of the most expensive listings is for £4,600. And before you think that nobody would be crazy enough to pay that the auction currently has 18 bids with 10 hours to go. (And yet still they’re charging for postage.) That’s not the only listing at a similar price either, with one auction having just begun with a starting price of £4,000 and a Buy It Now option of £7,000. (And that one’s charging for postage too, as if somehow they’re not making enough profit as it is.) The average price though seems to be around £700, with the standard PlayStation 5 console having an official RRP of £450 and the Digital Edition going for £360. All this was unavoidable, but it was made far worse by the fact that Sony started pre-orders yesterday without any warning – and that was compounded by the fact that they’d previously promised to give plenty of warning. The end result is that most shops ran out of stock within 30 minutes, while many people had no idea pre-orders had even begun. Microsoft are looking to play things very differently with the Xbox Series X/S, for which pre-orders will start at 8am at the already announced stores below. That’s not going to stop Xbox pre-orders turning up on eBay as well, but at least people will have had something like a fair chance to get them the normal way.

Maryokutai Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I stopped being angry at scalpers a while ago. If people are stupid enough to buy products from those guys then clearly they're doing everything right. There's only one way to get rid of them and that's letting them sit on their stuff because nobody's buying it. That solution hasn't quite caught on yet though.

one-armed dwarf Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The scalpers are also using bots tho to pick up these system without touching the sites. Like calling the shops backend api and doing all the interactions like that and buying in bulk before people can even click 'add to cart'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Yeah, okay, never mind, Scalpers are shitty. But still, people should just stop buying from them and they and their bots will disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Quote Every single developer I've spoken to developing for PS5 has been evangelising how easy it is to work for, Its essentially the same development environment as PS4 and you scale up from there, for the new powers, the features and whatnot. I can't stress enough how happy developers seem to be with this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Are we sure you can put that in a PS5 tho. I installed a nvme recently that looks like that and you have to pop it right into the motherboard and screw it on with the tiniest screw in the world. Sony might do the memory card style slot in.

I installed a nvme recently that looks like that and you have to pop it right into the motherboard and screw it on with the tiniest screw in the world. Sony might do the memory card style slot in. PS5 uses off the shelf PC SSDs, not the Xbox Proprietary card solution: Quote PS5 will follow a similar approach to PS4’s when it comes to expandable storage. Sony has clarified how players will be able to expand the PS5 storage space. The console uses a custom-made SSD by default, and has an NVMe slot for owners to manually expand the available storage. However, not every off-the-shelf NVMe drive will work. First, the off-the-shelf SSD needs to physically fit into the M.2 expansion slot in the PS5. Sony also needs to validate the speeds of the different models to ensure compatibility. Unfortunately, those drives will still be slower than the internal drive, because so few of the currently available PCIe 4.0-based options can match the speed of Sony’s own custom drive. There’s also another problem, and it has to do with how PS5 assigns data priorities. The internal drive has access to up to six priority levels, whereas the off-the-shelf drives can only have two. The good news is that, for older games (PS4), any USB hard drive will work. You can play those games off the drive itself, or use it for storage and move them to the SSD before playing. This stands in stark contrast to Microsoft’s solution for Xbox Series X, which has its own, proprietary slot that’s easier for users to understand. Sony’s idea could prove more successful in the long run, as faster drives become available – and cheaper, but it’s complicated right now. As part of his talk, lead system architect, Mark Cerny, said Sony will reveal the PS5 compatible drives and their speeds later down the line.
