I'm still confused why they didn't use PS Stars for this, they have implement the system for rewarding fans and haven't used it much at all. Makes no sense!
It kinda makes sense to me that they are holding back, I'm guessing it's out of fear of over hyping something for it then to be a disaster, or pulling focus away from games they want to sell now. We still have a steady stream of games available, and coming out soon, filled in with exclusive 3rd party games, and then next year there should be some big hitters like Wolverine. It is a shame they can't stagger there big releases a bit more though, so we have at least 2 a year during the console cycle, instead of all at the start and then the end.
I'm excited for this. I do a lot of gaming via Remote Play usually so my other half can watch TV, having full haptic support and a lightweight device for it seems perfect (the SteamDeck is a bit heavy).
I hope its cheap enough to justify the cost, and in the future if they really go more into cloud gaming that it works without going via the PS5.
I wouldn't be surprised if they bring it out as a PS5 streaming handheld to get production started, whilst they improve their cloud offering and then roll out support for cloud streaming directly. By then if production costs can decrease, could be a cheap entry for consumers into the PS ecosystem without needing a PS5.
@nhSnork Annoyingly PlayStation preorders take the money when you preorder. It's always annoyed me, should be able to preorder and easily cancel if I change my mind.

I'm in the UK and still seeing the option for £10 credit with 2,500 points.

Re: PS5's Astro Bot Marketing Onslaught Starting in Busy Shopping Mall
@Digit2021 Based on the lack of Concord marketing other than a few ads, I'm guessing they knew Concord wouldn't be a big success.

Re: Odd PS5, PS4 Dino Shooter Exoprimal Will Collaborate with Other Capcom Games
Despite the weirdness of the trailers, the beta on PS was a lot of fun, fast action Co-Op / semi PvP, couldn't put it down which I wasn't expecting.
It needs to be f2p though, if it's not I imagine it won't last too long as the premise is a bit weird to get someone to hand over $50.
