PlayStation 5

[Rare White Ape]

Oooooooh the pricing for the digital only version is a bit of a kick in the dick to the Xbox Series S.

But I still think at launch the S is the best deal out of all of the new consoles, purely because of Game Pass.

At least until Sony hits its stride and pumps out all the exclusives like they did for PS4.

Sony is including 15+ major PS4 games with PlayStation Plus at no extra charge as their version of GamePass.

Well, I've already bought GoW and TLOU:R. So that means I only get 16 other games to own but won't have time to play!! :x

[Rare White Ape]

I like how TLOU will now be playable across three console generations.

[Dicknose]

Not a bad list - I suspect many will own some of those or got them via PS+ freebies.
But a good way to get people started on a new console

[FaultyMario]

The only reason the PS5 is getting backwards compatibility is because Demon's Souls alone isn't going to move new consoles on its own, and bringing the recent generation over is much easier between these two generations. Sony learned the lesson from the PS3 that having a complicated architecture is like having weird parents—no one wants to come to your house to play.

The PS3 and Vita Are Being Buried Alive
It's only a matter of time before Sony kills access to PS3 and Vita games entirely.

I hate board manufacturers. I was going to limit my hate to Intel, but they're all alike, right?

[balki]

m3h, I can't complain.
I've gotten to the point where I think I've bought the same game three times now. Frankly I'm fine with that if I can finally get rid of my PS3 (and Dreamcast [once I can get Rez again]).
I don't actually see the PS5 phasing out PS4 compatibility.

It does seem like Microsoft is getting away from 12mo XBL for monthly (preferably Game Pass/Ultimate) subscriptions. As a casual I'm against paying $10-15/mo when I go weeks (sometimes months) without turning on the console.

Rez is available on PS4 you know?

[balki]

I do, but skipped the PS4 altogether (would have gotten one if there was a numbered Gran Turismo).
Can't find it for xbox (I know they had it for the X360 but it's not showing up anywhere for purchase). Microsoft did offer Ikaruga for free recently, so that was a big help on the Dreamcast front.

I will get Rez HD after GT7 launches.

[Tom Servo]

It's also available on PC. And it's spectacular.
