    The Hacking Scene on PS5 will start by reverse-engineering how to crack this obnoxious box open. 😛

    Pragmata looks pretty interesting even though it was just a trailer with no gameplay.

    I am so excited. Gran turismo, horizon zero dawn 2, and demon souls?????!?!?!?!?!

    Looks awesome, the day they release only a digital version and no disks, is the day I stop buying new consoles. Old school gamer and I like having my media on cartridges or disk. Even if the resale value was 1 cent. that’s still better than no resale value for digital games.

      Well I bought games to play and keep. Not for reselling and I only bought games I truly ike so even if I can resell my digital library for the same value as I bought, I won’t sell it because these are the games I love but not the trading material.

      • Maav says:

        Exactly that’s my problem with digital-only. You design a product to require a server as a middleman. In 20 or so years from release, your console might become a glorified paper weight if it hasn’t been hacked to allow backups as servers shut down, where with tangible media this isn’t bound to happen (unless there’s some kind of always-online DRM).

        “I only bought games I truly like”
        You telling me you’ve never bought a game and it turned out to be a ***? That’s not possible, especially for an old school gamer.

        Or do you buy digital then go physical for keepsakes?

      Your dammmm right

    Ummm “bye-bye” piracy? Can we “celebrate” it by getting latest CFW for PS4 so we dirty pirates can finally indulge in all that Sony has to offer for us on PS4!?

    It had a nice variety. Could have done without nba 2k21. Really missed having a Final Fantasy or Octopath Traveler/Bravely Default/Lost Odyssey style RPG.

    What an ugly console.

    • BlumCoLe says:

      Yepp, definitely ugly, same like the Xbox X Series NAS-Design …and the controller is something between XboX One & PS4 Controller wearing a tank top.

  8. StCarlTheSith says:

    Not worth getting the ps5 with how sony backstabbed its weeb fans by censoring anime games

  9. yoshi314 says:

    considering the sizes ps5 games will come out at, at potential pricing of extra storage that can house them and provide required bandwidth, i am afraid the digital console may fail.

    unless there will be plenty of small sized games for it.

    it looks like a router

  11. zozi says:

    interesting, a bit ugly that wants to look very cyber-modern-something. I hope they will not require always-on network connection for singleplayer games as well. Also for old-school physical media lovers: if it can be cracked (and everything can be given enough interest) then you can collect your games on a 10tb usb drive for eternity…

  12. MDashK says:

    Simply not worth it… And I “speak” being one of those that literally has EVERY SINGLE console released TO DATE.

    • JustAnotherOne says:

      really? EVERY SINGLE console to date? i bet you don”t have an Apple Pippin.

  13. padla says:

    THE PS5 HAS NO GAMES 😀
    Never buy diz shi*

  14. merlin says:

    So…. Piracy is gonna be harder for them now. You’ll either be swapping games out or buying more external memory.

    I say “memory” Because that SSD is a 2 in 1. with the controller helping ofc.

    It looks great but I like my console placed horizontally
