@Max_the_German I'm with you.

It's just a trendy fad to hate on AI at the moment, it'll fade the same way they all do. The same people moved their hate from crypto to AI and they'll move onto something else new to fuel their rage sooner or later.

@KillerIsD34D As @cuttlefishjones suggests, you sound like you would have been at the front of the line to sabotage the steam engines!

The amount of moaning on here, you'd think owning a PS5 was some kind of unavoidable expense like an electricity bill.

Clue: it's an optional, luxury purchase.

Just another example of why it's always worth waiting a few months to get a far better experience.👍

@TheDudeElDuderino It can burn down for all I care, made serious money out of tech equity the last two or so years and sold my final tranche last week.... So I'm certainly grateful to AI!

I'm early retired so I know I'm fortunate in terms of time and cash etc but been very happy with my Pro and the games for it.

Not too bad deals, especially if you add the 15% discount on top of these for the discounted PSN credit that you should be buying for your wallet!

AI is coming. People can piss into the wind as much as they want. I'm going to enjoy the crying.

@StitchJones I know, right? A whole industry of youtubers are making a living now by posting this stuff weekly, and unfortunately there are enough gullibles out there to whip it up on a daily basis.

The crying about job losses is just annoying. Shall we destroy all the computers in the world like modern day luddites to stop this infernal progress? That'll stop that nasty AI 'waaaahhhhhhh.'

Yeah, this is all noise. Playstation aren't going anywhere. And why would you prefer a machine that's probably around Series S level, coming out in 2026?

And by the time PS6 has had it's run, it'll be nearly ten years on. Why wish your life away projecting optional misery onto yourself years into the future?

@Stevemalkpus I hear you.

For some people, the glass is always half empty. It's a negative way to live your life, for sure.

Eurogamer gave it a 2/5 'because AI voices' 🤡

I've always felt 2028, due to that lost covid year with stock issues and releases. And that was before they brought out the Pro last year. I think Q4 2028 fits better.

@Megabeenz Agree totally. His critique didn't sound balanced at all.

Especially when they all chipped in with comparisons to GeforceNow, and then had a final bash dismissing the entire device near the end!

DF are dumping HARD on the input lag in their DF Direct from today.

Leadbetter is claiming the lag made it 'literally unplayable' for him which from what I've read elsewhere sounds baity to me, but there you go.

Had totally forgotten about this one! What a nice surprise.

This 'anonymous staff member' could be any random angry, and even if that's not the case, the information they've given could be anywhere from 100% true to 0% true.

It's about as verifiable as anything anyone says on the internet anytime.

THE DREAM: "Wow, this could be good news - I can get some of my backlog cleared with all those extra months."

THE REALITY: November next year - backlog even bigger than today.

@graymamba Same here, and we get a game with six months more work done to it.

It's the best way to look at it, rather than the negative comments that 90% will be posting on this and other articles over the next day or two!

If they're working for a company like Rockstar, and signed NDA's, how dumb were they to even mention the game outside of work?

And as others here said, it doesn't really matter whose side people take on this - we'll all still buy the game. Even those who post here they won't!

Wish I'd played Psychonauts 2 years ago because i gave it a go last week and it just looked bad and mechanically it played bad. Time hasn't been kind to it.

@themightyant For me, the vast majority of games are clearly better on it, some look far better, and some are worse.

And as with any situation like this, some individuals just love to amplify any negative in sight. I've never understood that mentality, it can't be fun to live in a glass half empty world but there you go!

It's a reductive poll though isn't it. Effectively, 'would you like to pay for something or would you like it free?'

I mean, come on.

Are the random battles as overly intrusive as on III? That was my only gripe with that otherwise excellent game.

Used to use headphones for gaming until I got my Dolby Atmos setup in the lounge....still wows me every day, will never go back.

@1970sGamer Thanks, I'll probably do P3R first. Unlike yourself I really enjoyed P5R but tapped out after about 70 hours of it.

@Don_Quixote227 Have you played Metaphor Refantazio? I have that AND P3 Reload to get stuck into and hope that's just as good.

Life is far too short and enjoyable to get as angry as some people do about the Pro.

I enjoy using mine, am fortunate enough to be able to buy nice things and wanted the best console to go with my A95L OLED.

Most games run better on it, some look absolutely amazing on it. And some don't. Shrug. No point venting spleen about it.

@Czar_Khastik I buy digitally just so I can make someone waste their time posting a comment telling me that physical is better because I could have got it cheaper and be able to resell it or trade it in. 😀

@Sergo Charging doesn't work like that, modern usb-c is an interoperable universal standard.

You can plug any device into any charger and the device will take the charge it needs, either the maximum the charger supplies or the maximum the device charges at if it's a higher capacity.

It makes zero difference using an official charger to plugging into any high speed phone, laptop etc charger that you probably have right next to where you sit.

This is how Sony sell the official chargers, making people believe they're somehow better than anything else.

Since it's 'free' on PS+ at the moment, I'll give it a go.

@themightyant The worst is when you buy a game in a sale, it goes into the backlog and then it's given away on PS+ Essential before you've even played it

£800 for something with a tiny LCD screen that plays games worse on every metric going?

puts stupid head on "Yes, I'll take two of them my good Sir!"

Whatever your preference (third for me), it's great to have the choice.

@Dalamar You're right, going by your impeccable logic we might as well have just stuck with the original PS1 forever.

Sounds like 2028 then. FSR4 on the Pro next year, next console couple of years later. That'll be 8 years, but considering the first year was spent in covid-related supply issues and delays, it sounds reasonable.

And I echo other comments that we just don't need a new generation before then - Xbox is finished, and Nintendo are peddling a console that struggles to get to PS4 Pro levels on a good day.

As someone who was there in 1994 with a Japanese import PlayStation (complete with the tiny Japanese controllers!) this was too nostalgic to not purchase straight away, £95 or not!

Had mine the previous year!

Imported one from Japan December 1994 with Tekken and Ridge Racer. S-video into the TV and glorious 60fps with no PAL borders and slowdowns.

Great times.
