Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@Kidfried You realise I get notified every time you mention Knack, right?

No ps5 within the next 12 months according to Sony. Points to a fall/winter launch as expected

@redd214 Nice to hear the official confirmation on that.

@Octane

@redd214 that is disappointing. Was really hoping for March. :/

-bangs head against invisible non harmful wall-

@WebHead as exciting as a new gen of consoles is I'm ok with another 18 months of the ps4 so not too disappointed personally. Will be right around 7 years at that point so seems like good timing.

@redd214 yep me too, don't understand what the rush is.

I'm just really ready is all. Bummer.

@WebHead It will be annoying that games like TLOU2 and Death Stranding will probably release cross platform. And seeing as I'll be buying a PS5 anyway, I might as well wait until then.

I'll probably hold off of buying new games from this fall until the PS5 drops.

Luckily for me I still have to play Persona 5, God of War, Niet and Sekiro.

@Kidfried def wont be day one because I proabably wont be able to gwt one during that time due to needing to get gifts, selling out, likely $500 price.

@Kidfried Yeah I was thinking the same thing, might as well play those games all ps5'd up.

@WebHead I'm not ashamed to admit I'm already saving up for a 5.

@Kidfried as am I. Figure we're probably 18 months or so out from launch. Saving just 50 bucks a month you'll have $900. Enough for a (probably) $500 console, a few games, a couple controllers/peripherals, and a new plus sub. Add in since it'll be BC could trade in a ps4 to get even more stuff. Plenty of time to be there at launch with proper planning.

@redd214 Unless circumstances change, I will probs have enough disposable income from a couple of months to get a PS5 if it costs around the 500 quid mark. I usually get a bonus from work around about the time it will launch too so that will go towards it. I will most likely have a tonn of games to play from my PS4, so unless there is something jaw dropping I might not even need to buy any new games. Peripheral wise I will most likely only need a headset, if my PS4 ones don't work with the PS5. Everything else I can sort out a bit later.

I remember when my PS4 came out some crossgen games were more expensive on the PS4 than on the PS3. Even when they both released simultaneously. Hopefully backwards compatibility will put a stop to that.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah hopefully this will be a very smooth generation shift. Plenty of time to save up for it too!

@Ryall really? That definitely wasn't the case in the US. All the launch games I got were and price as ps3

Persona five with the most recent example it’s recommended retail price was £50 on PS4 and £40 on PS3 although of course Shops discount at launch but the PS3 version was still about £10 cheaper. Call of duty ghosts actually allowed you to pay the extra £10 to use the PS3 disk as proof of purchase on the PS4 @redd214

@Ryall I recall it happening later on in the gen but not at launch. I remember I bought 4 Ps3 games that had ps4 versions coming out at launch and I exchanged them after it released and they were all same price.

I think it’s a case of different publishers making different decisions. When I got my copy of Legend of Zelda : breath of the wild day 1 I noticed that for Wii U version was £10 cheaper than the switch version. @redd214

Tbh I would be interested in a $50 cheaper PS5 All Digital Edition.
