I want to play Halo and I want to play God of War (balls to shit like Uncharted though, it’s like a lame tame version of fecking Indiana Jones). Can’t they just do away with exclusive titles? The consumers are the ultimate losers here!

That’s a really nice set. Yeah I’d definitely go for an OLED next. The near black level and contrast is just superb though I’d go for one of them Panasonic ones if I had the money that a professionally tuned and have 1000 nits of brightness — must be an amazing incredible viewing experience.It’s this one if he’s really interested. This review convinced me
Probably upgrade in a year for a oled.

You’ve got him, Holmes.Apparently MS was not being "appreciated" enough hence that guy made this rumour. Bojan was telling me the same last week on this thread. Coincidence ?
I think that's because nobodies heart is really in it. Apart from Bojan... Give it time.The console war threads have been embarrassing on all fronts since Weaste and Ciderman left, back then it was like Basil Fawlty having an argument with Hitler.
Nowadays it reads like Niles and Frasier Crane mocking each other.
Nah leave him.
Nope. Rumours started from the very same forum in a 100 page thread. I just relay news. It’s not my fault you and @afrocentricity now starting to love and hype up 4K again after saying it doesn’t matter.

So 4k is good again? Crazy scenes
Great game! Enjoy! One of the best games of the year, for sure.I've only got a 49 incher but I'm currently playing TLOU2 on it whilst a two year old hand feeds me cereal so idgaf.
I wish that guy resurfaced during every lead up to the new consoles being released. Looking at him now though does anyone feel the PS5 white fins design is a homage to Chad Wardens popped collar

So Alanah Pearce said today on the KFX podcast that someone that works at a retail store DM her a picture of the in store system that show the price of the XSX at $599:
What’s that in real money?Going by what digital foundry were saying the other day about 599 dollars both.

41:20 mins. Could be place holder, but still expect there’s more chance of it being 599 than 399 that some people are dreaming for both.

Exchange rates work it out as £457.What’s that in real money?
I would be surprised if they’re above £450. Will be interesting to see if there’s any backlash if they’re priced at close to £600.Exchange rates work it out as £457.
Last time around PS4 was $399 and £350 here. American prices don’t include tax and the pound is weaker compared to 7 years ago. So if it’s $599 there, it will be between £500 to £550 here. I said £500 and sticking by it because if it was less they would have released pricing by now.
£499 for digital PS5
£550 for PS5
£525 for Xbox Series X
£399 for Lockheart.
Cheers. Those prices will put a lot of people off I reckon. At the very least I can see a lot of my mates switching from PS4 to series S as they all play gross gen titles like cod and FIFA mostly so I think they’ll go for whatever is the cheapest option.Exchange rates work it out as £457.

Just looking at the PS4 pro prices and they still around £350 mark despite releasing like 4 years ago.I would be surprised if they’re above £450. Will be interesting to see if there’s any backlash if they’re priced at close to £600.
But yeah I think the fact neither of them have released pricing yet shows they’re going to be the most expensive consoles yet.
The lack of true next gen games is going to put people off too. Xbox one was a disaster at launch, we all know that. But they had Dead Rising, Forza, Ryse and probably a few others at launch. PS4 had Killzone, Knack and Resogun. Sony have Spider-Man and unless MS pull a rabbit out the hat or money hat something they have nothing. Not even Forza, which is the most surprising as racing games are always released with new consoles to showcase the power. The medium looks good, but doesn’t scream next gen to me. One of my favourite series Yakuza is going to get a next gen upgrade on Series X first at launch and the PS5 upgrade will come later next year, but those games don’t appeal to everyone.Cheers.

505 Games would like you to know that you're a total chump if you bought Control less than a year ago. The game is getting an ultimate edition for twenty bucks cheaper AND it'll be the only way to upgrade the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Most companies are offering genuinely free upgrades - you buy a game for the current consoles, you'll get them updated for PS5 and Xbox Series X at no extra cost. Control wants the best of both worlds - it wants to advertise a free upgrade, but it doesn't want the upgrade to be free.
The answer is fiendishly smart - make the upgrade free for an entirely new version of the game. In essence, if you already bought the game and its expansions by now, upgrading will cost you $39.99.
Also, everyone on Steam who had to wait for the Epic Store exclusivity to end just got a better deal, which is hilarious.
It’s also why you see so many phones with multiple versions. I personally wouldn’t want the Xbox S around, I can see why MS did it to appeal to casuals. But it’s also probably going to hold back games later on. It’s why I hope they scrap the Xbox one version of Halo. By the time next GTA or Starfield are out you expect pro refreshes, so you would want the development base for both those games to be PS5 and XSX not the Series S. As GTA is always a game that is developed for consoles first and then ported to PC.100% agree with what you’re saying @Bojan11
My friend text me the other day asking how much PS5 would be as she wanted to get her boyfriend for Xmas. I said to her that I thought it would be at least £500 and she kind of baulked at the price. I agree that I think a lot causal gamers will just wait until the prices drop, if they drop. I also agree that the price of tech is going up every generation but your average consumer will just settle on the cheapest point of entry and that’s the reason why so many get contract phone as they simply cannot afford to drop £1000 on an iPhone. I don’t how the sales will go on Xbox one x and PS5 but MS certainly had a good idea and made the point of entry more accessible with Series S.
So makes sense to price the digital version at a bigger loss as they will get that loss back within three digital purchases. Or four in the case of @esmufc07.Shifting users to the digital ecosystem is a huge win for the platform holder and the game publisher. When you purchase a physical disc, there are a number of costs attached that do not exist in the digital realm - retailers and distribution take a cut, plus there is the cost of physically making the disc and its associated packaging. These costs effectively vanish, with only the minuscule cost of download bandwidth to offset it. In practise, the average $60 price for a digital purchase is split just two ways: the platform holder receives 30 per cent of the price, the publisher 70 per cent.
it’s all a bit hilarious. All about value for money. I was PS for years, but went Xbox 360 and stayed with Xbox since as my mates have Xbox. If I went PS, I would t play half as much - plus never got used to their analog stick locations.Its really strange how people stick to one console and defend it to the hilt. I've owned both PlayStation's and xbox throughout the generations. I usually go for whichever has the best deal at the time.
If your pro one or the the other, your pretty sad and need to get a life!!
But wouldn't regret itIf it’s £600 I’ll be very tempted to just build a pc at that point, even though I’d spend way more
Seen this coming a mile off, knew some company would find a workaround.Jim Sterlings take on it
Yeah, actually I hope they are over 800!I hope they cost over £700.
