Any system specs?
A report indicates that costly components for Sony's upcoming console have driven the manufacturing costs up to around USD $450 per unit. Unnamed sources also note that the company is yet to confirm retail pricing, perhaps waiting to see what Microsoft announces for the Xbox Series X. A high production cost should be of no surprise, given the PlayStation 5 will boast a solid state drive for storage and hardware accelerated ray-tracing. However the spike in production costs has come from a scarcity of DRAM and NAND flash memory which aren't just in demand by Sony or Microsoft, but also companies like Samsung which is in the process of launching a new generation of smartphones.
you'd have to be able to get the console and a game under 1K at most if you want it to go under the Christmas tree so this is a likely intro priceWon't sell heaps at that price.
$899
The early adopters penalty. My PS4 came with my Sony phone on a plan so I had nothing to grumble about.you'd have to be able to get the console and a game under 1K at most if you want it to go under the Christmas tree so this is a likely intro price
PS5 will be a winner, but, yes, no point buying early. Unless it comes free with a TVAs much as it might be tempting to buy early, it is best to wait and n' see which ones gets market traction and the better games.
I'd put my money on the PS5 too. I wonder how much the VR will be improved too.PS5 will be a winner, but, yes, no point buying early. Unless it comes free with a TV
I've wanted an xBone for the Master Chief collection too. We need to be neighbours for some console swappage I thinkI only have a basic Xbox One, been having thoughts about a PS4 to try out GT Sport but can't justify it.
MCC is available on PC now if you have that platformI've wanted an xBone for the Master Chief collection too. We need to be neighbours for some console swappage I think
Thanks, I do but am slave to the bigger TV scree now which is in a another room.MCC is available on PC now if you have that platform
I was thinking the same on either keeping with a PC for gaming or console. I have first started with PC gaming and didn't have much for consoles but they just make things so much easier and less chance of elite Haxx0rs cheating in games. They seem to squeeze a lot out of the hardware.I was also thinking maybe the PS4 is an upgrade to my 5 years old PC running R9 280 GPU. It's struggling to play any modern game like Assasin' creeds odyssey on high settings 1920x1080. Have to go down to low settings these days. I figured it's not gonna get any better for any future games.
Was thinking of upgrading the GPU, but they're all very expensive these days! The high end one at least..
I started off on console with PS1 and PS2. Then I went down the PC path during the PS3 era, as steam was the king of affordable games. Games were somewhow cheaper in steam and GOG back then, not anymore. I can walk into a local shop these days and buy star wars for $75 while steam is stuck on $80 or $90 something, with occasional 10-20% off.I was thinking the same on either keeping with a PC for gaming or console.

The console game libraries are big and cheap and overall works damn well.
