Guys apparently ShopTo are selling PSN cards at 10-15% discount. If you buy those and then use them on PSN you'll save a bunch of money on digital purchases.

This’ll save me a fortune. Thanks Nick. Wish others round here were as considerate.
 
Hate sushi. I’m a kebab man. Judge me all you want.

You ain’t a kebab man. You a scampi and chips man and that’s at your local Indian restaurant. They only get scampi in because of you. You a monster and need to stop ordering that shite when you go there.

The kebab man belongs to Xbox. @VeevaVee

The X looks a hell of a lot slicker. I'm really not a fan of the plasticy look of the PS5, it's really reminiscent of the PS3 which was also shit except it's 7 times the size.
 
I like how they took the pictures in front of a fireplace to symbolise the Xbox's heating issues.
 
Eh? They both look as plasticy as each other?

Difference is you can change the ps5 faceplates to whatever you want so may not look as plasticy?

I don't get the big deal with the looks of consoles tbh :lol: you look at it that once when you get it out the box then spend the next 7 years looking at the TV screen.

To be fair with the 360 you had to look at it every week to box it back up to send it for repair (54% failure rate).

PS3 was on watchdog and got roasted by Anne Robinson because Sony were charging £180 for repairs.
 
Jesus Christ, some of you need to drop the fanboy gimmick. Andy Kaufman never stayed in character for so long.

How?! All consoles are made of plastic but there’s clear differences. It’s the shiny plastic that looks crap, same as the original Xbox One. Whereas the PS1, PS2, PS4 and Xbox One X (and Series X) don’t and all look good. It’s preferences, but it’s also facts.
 
I like how they took the picture in a room with high ceilings to fit the ps5 in it
 
PS5 does look a bit silly, not going to lie.
They both look shite in fairness.

The current gen consoles are much nicer looking. The Xbox One X is the nicest looking console I've seen - not sure why MS decided to go make a brick instead of doing similar with the Series X.

In both consoles cases, it's all about the cooling systems. I'll take that design over my console sounding like airplane taking off.

I've nothing wrong with the size of them, just the look. Sony could've made theirs that big without the weird curved tacky white plate thing and MS could've just made a big version of the One X rather than a PC tower.

Yeah that I fully agree with. Definitely won't be standing the PS5 up anyway, it'll look better lying down imo.
 
At least they've tried to be creative with the PS5, The X BOX is literally just a giant cube :lol:
 
I actually quite the look of both of them now, a lot nicer than the PS4 anyway. The S still looks like shit though.

The X would be an issue for my setup as i don't think it'll fit in the unit or behind the TV given it's a box.
 
I don't get why people are so obsessed about the designs. I actually don't mind the look of either system. I'm only worried about where to put the PS5, but that's another matter.
 
I'm sure the PS5 controller is cool, but I'm the type to turn of vibrations anyway, or down to the lowest - especially multiplayer
 
I have an X on pre-order - but damn does the PS5 seem like the biggest leap of the two. Looks like Xbox have gone for more grunt - whereas the PS5 has the dualsense, camera, Astrobots, charging station etc. It feels like more of a generational leap.

If PS5 had a monthly plan it would have made my decision much harder. Still can't wait for my X - but you PS5 owners are in for a treat by the look of it.
