The new PlayStation Store is an absolute nightmare! The no text titles is a huge misstep in Web Accessibility Standards. What's more - if you enable screen reader software (such as Apple's VoiceOver Utility), you'll find the you cannot navigate the store at all. Meaning the developers have completely forgone Accessibility.
This is inappropriate, wrong, and extremely discriminatory and alienating.
Overall, it looks great. But, it looks be lacking in the way of features. To me, it looks like they're hopping on board with many existing design elements, rather than doing anything particularly unique.
Also, it looks like they're staying with the limited sharing capabilities, instead of allowing Bluetooth or WiFi transfer to paired devices.
Not worried about it at all. If online pre-orders aren't getting fulfilled, good luck finding it in physical locations without having to duke it out with someone for it. I'll wait patiently. Shoot, I haven't even gotten to pre-order yet!
Back in the Golden Age of gaming, folks had zero idea about what new consoles offered other than being "better" and having "better games".
In an age where we always know everything, even if we don't want to, I think it's pretty refreshing to not know. This is what I don't finish movie trailers if I see them exposing plot lines.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Crashing Still a Major Problem on PS5, PS4 After Patch 1.04
I think I'm just going to wait for the PS5 version at this point. Preordered and all, but dang.
Re: Sadly, You Can't Store PS5 Games on an External HDD
Sony is just waiting for M.2 SSD's to catch up in terms of specs.
Here's a source, and an example of good journalism:

Re: Why PS5 Fans Think Gran Turismo 7 Is Releasing Soon
@wiiware November has destroyed me. Hah! iPhone 12 Pro Max (after spending years with the iPhone SE), several pre-order games, PS5 and accessories...
Thankfully I started budgeting for all of this six months ago.

Re: Poll: How Often Will You Use PS5 Backwards Compatibility?
Even if we were getting rid of our PS4 Pro, we wouldn't use the backwards compatibility much.
There's really only one reason it exists - to ease the transition from previous gen to current gen.

Re: PS5 Is Now Officially Just One Month Away
I'll be lucky to get my hands on one. >.<
Re: PS5 Teardown Video Gets Up Close and Personal with the Console
Ya gotta hand it to Sony. They did not need to include those vacuum points, or even make this video.
Couldn't be happier to get my hands on this when the day comes.
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders from Some Retailers May Not Be Fulfilled Until 2021

Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
This article was published after the pre-orders were sold out. Hmmm
Re: Soapbox: Screw Sony's PS5 Game Pricing, I'll Just Wait for Sales
I don't think I've ever paid full price for a PS4 game...
Re: Sony Has a Mystery Event Planned for PAX Online Next Week
This is a pretty low effort “article”.
What time is the event? I don’t see it on the schedule. No link to the schedule?
