@deathaxe interesting angle. Not trolling here, as I honestly don't know the answer, but would cloud gaming not be more efficient? All the time and power consoles would use to download a game gone, and all the idle time gone? I wonder is one to many Vs one to one would be better
@themightyant yeah I agree with this, I think it's only a matter of time and the right businesses to make it work. Latency is a big issue with games, you can't buffer in the same way you can a film and people's tolerance to something stopping half way through to buffer some more won't be the same with gaming, but bandwidth is growing year on year and soon won't be an issue. Then you have the service, Google got that all wrong, I think people will want a subscription based service like game pass or ps now, the gaming equivalent of Netflix, potential tier level access which might get you exclusives etc. Either way the new generation are less reliant on physical media, in 40+ and can't remember the last time I purchased a DVD or Blu-ray, heck even all my ps5 games are digital (despite me owning a disk version)
Give it time and if the quality of streaming can compete with a ps5, for something you're paying for monthly with access to decent titles, people will come.
Soon you'll just have a TV and an internet signal (and 20 spare plug sockets you installed 'back in the day' to cope with everything) - truly wireless 😁
Well as someone who purchased man eater for Christmas for my son to play , I'm really happy I got the notification from Sony. I wasn't expecting it at all, so even if it isn't a cash refund, that's basically a free game for me to purchase from the PS store at some point (ok perhaps half of one of its an A list title) either way I'm getting something for nothing (considering my original investment was already spent).
I can hear this on mine, it isn't as bad as it sounds on the videos and more noticeable as I was using the Pulse 3d headset, when I took this off for a moment with no other background sound to mask it, it was noticeable. The problem isn't the sound as such, it's a background ticking noise, it's the bass from it, IMHO it's less noticeable closer to the console as you can hear the other low dB noises such as the fan, Futher away the actual sound is more prominent, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was an issue, yet at least!
@Medic_Alert you're not wrong, mine turned up last week along with the pulse headset and charging station, I was really looking forward to unboxing them, how disappointed was I when met with a load of plain folded cardboard!
