Such an abject failure of vision and management. How was this allowed to carry on so long with no one recognizing the catastrophe brewing. Between this and Bungie it’s pretty clear Sony has lost its way. I hope they are able to turn the ship around.
The cost of this plus a disc drive and stand is more expensive than the gaming laptop I just purchased which is probably comparable in graphics. All just for marginal gains in a minority of PS5 games over my regular PS5. Really is insulting that they don’t even include a disc drive and stand.
Honestly couldn’t care less, which is shocking to see myself say. I feel like Sony is losing it to Nintendo and the rise of handheld consoles with Steam. I’ve been with Sony since the beginning and I can’t even describe how underwhelming they’ve been lately.
There was a time I would have been super excited about a PS5 Pro but Im finding it hard to care. My PS5 works fine, plus to be honest, I’m playing my ROG Ally and Switch 95% of the time anyways.
So then if PS4 was 300 pounds by roughly 2015, with CPI taken into account it means the PS5 today should be around 402 pounds if equivalent. So I guess at an average price of 460 pounds today PS5 is considerably more expensive.
As a kid, I played almost exclusively blind. But as an adult with extremely limited leisure time, I tend to follow a walkthrough for heavy RPGs so I can play as efficiently as possible and not miss out on major content or story arcs.
I just can’t get in to any of these Lego video games. Guess I’m not the target audience anyways. Never understood how aesthetics like Roblox and Lego spinoffs had such mass appeal.
I have physical games that are 35 years old and run perfect. I’ll never understand the preference for digital, something with no intrinsic value. Physical game collecting is basically an investment that sometimes even appreciates in value. Your digital collection is worth bupkis.
