Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

Take the bottom piece off, use tw0 hands to place the console vertically and remove the top piece. No need to drop it on the table.

On a different note, what is it with the console makers that they have to put glossy surfaces on the first iteration of new consoles? It fairs badly against scratches, it’s attractive to fingerprints, and it can look uneven under certain reflections, which makes it look less premium than it’s intended

I guess this is why I still have no preorder for ps5

I wonder how much PS4 consoles they sold in those 12 weeks.

Seems over 4 million as Gamespot has 4.49 in 2013 which would have been November and December. So 5 million or more?

Arstechnica reports that they sold 1 million in 24 hours and could have sold 2 million if they have that amount available.

English geese don't fly south for the winter?

Most of the geese are migratory but there are a fair number of greylag geese in St. James Park who live there all year round.

I thought someone said that was just protective plastic shiny film and not the actual surface of the beast.

I doubt they'd keep it on. Plus it's just hard to have a perfectly flat/curved surface given how soft plastic is compared to glass, and being glossy really shows it.

WRC 9 on PS5

Edit: looking boring as hell

I don't like racing games but I know there are avid fans of motorsports who will buy enough of them to keep development going.

But I see all those pretty reflections on the car and they're running in dirt and mud tracks so reflections can't be a big deal.

Wasn't one of the showcase games for the PS3 or PS4 a rally game showing mud being kicked up and the windshield wipers constantly clearing the mud? Don't remember the game but people thought at the time that was an example of next gen graphics.

Interesting if true...

Not a gif it seems.

For those who can't access twitter.

When unlocking a trophy on PS5 the system records 8 seconds before and 8 after so you have a nice video of that moment!

Annoying to see her clumsily just drop the console on the table when removing it from those cardboard thingies. Should be slapped.

DuckThor you're just Evil...

I would be inclined to believe given that account appears to be behind the ps dev wiki.

Well you would have to go 40 games from 4000 to break that 99% statement.

Those 10 games from 4000 is actually 99.75%

I don’t think that’s an exhaustive list. Hence the “sneak peek.”

PS4 has a little under 3K games according to Wiki -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_4_games

There are currently 2974 games on this list

Gotta say, if you cut off the top 1/4 part of the PS5 DE, it will be a really good looking console!

Before people get too excited/upset, I checked a bunch of those not compatible "games" and most were apps; Netflix, Prime, and some media remote apps.
