How will digital games carry over to the PS5?
You download them from the store or you use a external hdd to carry them over.
Hoping they’ll show off the new OS soon but at this stage I won’t hold my breath.
Next week, my newly appointed friend. Next week there will be news. So I’m giving you the weekend off.
Hope you’re right!
Will physical PS4 disks still work in the PS5 or is that just another thing we are still waiting for Sony to clarify?
Yeah the disc will carry over. As long as it's on the list of ps4 games that they allowed. Like Witcher 3 and the PS 4 Exclusives.
I doubt it's a list that they "allow". More like a list of games that were tested and didn't show any issues. I remember even back on the PS2 there were certain PS1 games that had known issues, I imagine it will be a similar situation this time around.

Take with a pinch of salt as the source is questionable.

Gametractor was predicting 599$ for XSX.
Sucks that no matter what the price is, in my country I would have to pay extra 200$ on top of it. Xbox series s is close to 500$ here
9pm UK Time? @Damien update the thread title
Exciting! I assume it's a full reveal and not just price? Hopefully see the new OS/back of the console/price/release date.
Import duty is quite high on products not made in India. Series S is 35k which is roughly 476$. We don't even make as much as Europeans and Americans and we have to pay higher amount. Makes me angry
It’s only 40 minutes long. I don’t think they’d show much of the OS as a lot of that stuff bores casuals. They’d probably show that off on the blog or YouTube video.
Full reveal I guess. UI and gameplay demos also.
With Kena being pushed to 2021, I think Sony was waiting to find out which games would be available for launch.
Waiting for some Miles action
I think the price will be £449 and £499 in the UK.
Same in Brazil and Australia according to resetera @DixieDean
PS4 launched in Brazil at nearly $2000. Its one of the reasons Xbox does well there. The price you got for a S is how much nearly a X would cost here. How much is the X over there?
Will it change once more companies start making stuff in India? There’s quite a few that are moving away from China to India.
If we miss out on Sancho, I hope we have enough for a PS5
Maybe when Sony announce £599, @horsechoker can come up with another beauty thread called ‘’Are Sony out of control?’’
Anything over £500 and I think it’ll be met with negativity.
About fecking time
The two models will cost £449 and £499. I would be really surprised if it's less, and especially so if it's higher. I think $499 is the max you can ask for without blow back.
Hope they give some notice before preorders like MS have.
Just realised that it's black! Thank feck for that. Didn't want a white one
Are you getting an Xbox, as well? or just PS this time?
I don't think there will be a black model at launch.
The tweet and website link both show a black one.
Id still get a white one if that's the only choice, but would prefer to avoid it
Edit: Ew maybe I'm being thick and it's just the middle bit that's black +shadows in the rest.

Both. You?
Series X because I just bought an elite controller and I want to use it. This time I will also get PS5 (skipped 4). I'm not sure if I can afford one at launch, though. Plus, I don't think I'm missing much in those first 6 months to 1 year.
I really don't want to buy the all digital one, either. I hate UK digital prices.
Don’t let Scampi hear that you skipped PS4. PS5 will probably have the same sort of monthly option that Xbox does. GAME do some monthly plans for PS4, but it’s not something backed by Sony. It’s something they do on their own. ShopTo always sending me emails saying buy stuff and pay monthly for four months.
Would be surprising in this current climate if Sony don’t offer some sort of monthly plan for the console.
Only peasants need payment plans.
I think it will be an "allow" list but at this time, we just don't know.
Sony haven't said. Anything else is speculation
At the end of that tweet it's clearly the white console and controller, it's just the lighting that's dark.
I would not get a payment plan. I hate being in debt. I'll probably just say feck it and get one at launch. I want to use my Xbox for 3rd parties, though, so I'm not going to have much to play. The only PS game that I want to play is God Of War. Don't care about the rest, much. Maybe GOW will get a PS55 patch soon??
