Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

[Unknown Soldier]

any screenshots of the back?

Not sure what the top port is for, looks USB-C, then 2xUSB3.0(1?), 1x Network port(most likely 1GBps), 1x HDMI v2.1 port. Can't make out the last one, most likely power port.

Pre-orders start tomorrow.

Kensington lock

Has anyone figured out where the compartment is for the user expandible NVME for PS5? Nothing jumped out at me from quick glance at the pics.

PSU: 350W (Launch Pro was 310W). 350W is a lot considering they have a capped max power consumption. I am expecting at least 210W of power consumption in demanding games.

Series X is rated 300w.
It is more powerful and uses less power!
Goes to show there is some truth about overclocking being done on Sony's part

The Plus Collection will be made available for everyone with a Plus subscription and.. a PS5 and a PS4.

PS5 owners with PS Plus will be able to download and play a curated library of PS4 games that defined the generation, like Batman Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, God of War, Monster Hunter: World, Persona 5 and many more. The PS Plus Collection will be an added benefit to the existing PS4 benefits that PS Plus members receive for a single subscription price.

From the top: Kensington Lock, 2x USB 3.1 (light blue on 3.1 vs. blue on 3.0 I think?), Ethernet (gigabit? 2.5Gbps?), HDMI 2.1, Power.
EDIT: official specs on the PS Blog. It's indeed two 10Gbps USB-A in the back, and in the front there's one USB-A 2.0 and one USB-C 10Gbps.
Ethernet is 1Gbps.
Also confirmed are WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.


NVMe expansion is probably done through one of the sides.

 

[BRiT]

NVME expansion maybe underneath near the center stability base?

Wtf is a Kensington lock and why have I never heard of it?

I mean you could look at the power curves for AMD gpu's and see this coming.

It lets you loop a cable to secure it to a desk or something, kind of like a bike lock.

But. Why. Is this a new thing?

It secures your second HDMI port, you're out of luck for the 3rd hdmi port...

 

[London Geezer]

I’m so confused

 

[BRiT]

It lets you loop a cable to secure it to a desk or something, kind of like a bike lock.

Or turn the PS5 into a boat anchor...

But. Why. Is this a new thing?

Its so no one can hide the PS5 under their shirt and run off with it.

 

[London Geezer]

So I could strap it on and throw it like Thor’s hammer, if I were strong enough to lift a PS5?

 

[London Geezer]

Or have it as a very heavy and awkward key ring?

Again, why?

 

[BRiT]

Or some other kind of ring...

Spoiler

 

[eloic]

strap on

Why do you have to be so dirty all the time?

BTW, it's my first time hearing about it, as well.

Theft is a big deal. If you can only loop lock it somewhere it makes for some basic security against basic theft.

Or have it as a very heavy and awkward key ring?

Again, why?

It's an internal beam where you connect strong hook. It exists so you can e.g. have a PS5 in a public showroom and make sure no one runs away with it.
Like a bike lock.

Every laptop has one, and I bet most home consoles too.

80€?? That is 20€ up!? They are insane. If you buy DE half a year down the line you will be paying double the physical price, probably more expensive in long run.

They wanted to hit 399/499$ but this is not a good deal. 20€ price hike is embarassing.
