Price, fan noise, size.

 

You have to pick 2 of 3 to be in your favour, 1 against.

 

Price against =£599+, fan noise against =PS4 Pro levels and louder, size against =PS5+

 

Price for =£399, fan noise for =inaudible, size for =Gamecube

 

Whaddyado?


you go away, think about what you tried to say, then come back and try again, in English this time?

They spent about a quarter of the Cernycast talking about energy and heat management, I think they have a plan. If it’s like the Series X it’ll have a beefier PSU than the PS3 and that heat has to go somewhere but in principle with the PS5 it will at least be a predictable amount of heat regardless of what’s playing.

 

I'm mildly curious as to which ends up the most power efficient.  Those are some hefty clocks the PS5 is pushing, even if the SOC is smaller than the XSX.

Yeah, real world figures are going to be interesting, and the number stamped on the PSU will be even less useful in making the comparison than normal.
 

Series X needs enough power to ensure it doesn’t brown out when running some hypothetical worst case scenario game umpteen years down the line, so they’ll have built in a margin for error, like all previous consoles. By contrast the PS5 will in principle have an energy usage ceiling that games simply can’t exceed, and Sony can put in a PSU that matches that. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the PS5 ships with a smaller PSU than the Series X even if they both use as much electricity in practice. Or if the PS5 uses more.

You have to choose one of the following outcomes from Sony:

 

For, for, against:

Gamecube sized PS5, silent, £599

 

Against, for, for:

PS5 sized PS5, silent, £399

 

For, against, for:

Gamecube sized PS5, loud, £399

 

Happy to help @SeanR you fucking donut :P

It’s T3 reporting on a now-deleted Reddit story about a third party’s survey, which according to the Reddit comments repeatedly stated that the prices weren’t real.

 

So no.

I still reckon it’s going to be cheaper than people expect mainly because MS will go in low with this Series S, there is no point for it otherwise.

it just seems to be a long-winded way of saying:

you’re buying a new console, you can only pick two:

 

small

cheap

quiet

No way I'd pay a £200 premium just for a smaller console.

 

The £399 silent but big console is the clear choice here surely?

If that AR thing of the PS5 is accurate, that is absolutely horrendous. If I get one it’ll be going in a cupboard and I still don’t want that thing in my house. 

 

And it’s less powerful than the Series X!

 

yeah, but it's bigger AND may be louder AND possibly cheaper, so, uh...

 

YEAH!

It’s clearly this big so that there’s no room for anything else under your tv. Presumably this is also why Sony don’t  bother with making all HDMI fully functional every time the standard changes.

What version of HDMI does the PS5 support? 2.1?

It supports 4K at 120 Hz so I think it must.

Yeah but it’ll be a while before TVs catch up.

From what I hear you can get HDMI 2.1 already on this years TVs but not all TVs support all of the features available.

 

I can’t wait to have a console that does freesync. At least hope they support freesync and VRR for those using 2.1

Surely they must. The chipset supports it right?

Sony has Android and their own Linux OS TV's now.

 

I've always understood Sony tv's to be overpriced buuuuuuuuuuuut Android and Linux OS's would mean the ability to stream GEForce Now and Steam straight to the TV (and possibly XCloud).   Stop I can only get so erect.

You can buy an Xbox 1 X today...

I'd defo have preferred a different coloured case (or even renewable packaging like the SI guys have used on Football Manager) but I suppose there's hundreds of thousands of the blue ones already produced and ready to use.
