I've bought two consoles based on the promise of exclusives and it was a terrible mistake in both cases. The PS3 was one and I payed 500 dollars for a 60GB model. It was an awful console for ages and by the time it became a console worth having it was significantly cheaper.

Same with the PS4. Had one preordered at launch and swapped it for a WiiU as launch was awful. Didn't regret it. a Year later got one for Bloodborne, which I did like but the PS4 since has been an extremely poor console for someone with a gaming PC and not worth the price I paid for it.

aww right we get it dur dur pc dur dur nintendo

I wish they'd freshen up the Logo and Design a bit on the game packaging. Especially when they're after going all out with the design of the console itself.

i waited until god of war came out as it was around the same time spiderman came out ( few months to finish god of war) think i got console and god of war for around 280

but by then i was able to snap up bloodborne, horizon, the last of us remaster and uncharted 4 for prob around 50 quid. All in all it was a worthwhile investment at that price.

This is it really, everyone harps on about ps exclusives and how they are the key to a successful console.

Exclusives are good to have but to buy a console in anticipation for something to come out is silly as your paying full whack for something where as by the time the game you really want comes out it will be cheaper

none of the initial launch titles compel me to pick it up so il hold off until a few are out and then pick up console and games slightly cheaper

I'm gonna hold off on multiplat and cross-gen games until the PS5 launches, so the launch line-up for me is essentially:

Spiderman: Miles Morales
Demon's Souls
Cyberpunk
Avengers
Assassins Creed

Which makes it one of the best launch lineups ever

Spiderman would be it for me. But I played the original so wouldn't be in a rush to get the update. I like Assassins creed and will buy Cyberpunk but I've a PC so I'll be playing them on that. No interest in the other two, probably on PC anyway if I had.

The last of us is pretty much the only reason I own a PS4 to be honest.

I'll wait.

Looks extremely weak to me considering everything there is available on other consoles/PC or a remake/remaster other than Spiderman, which should be good even if it's not for me.

Its all relative, lineup is strong to me as I won't have played any of them before. The fact that people on other systems can play them too doesn't really matter to me

That's just playing a game with enhanced visuals but it's the same copy of the game. While this would be the PS5 copy of the game.
I guess it could be like how 360 games work on the XBox One where you insert the game disc but it downloads the version that's playable on XBox One

The difference here is that PS5 can read and run PS4 discs, so having a PS4 disc copy of a game will be essentially the same as having a PS5 disc copy. it depends on the publisher though, we know EA are not going down this route.

Saying that we haven't had an exciting console launch line up since the PSP and the Gamecube/XBox in the case of home consoles. Even the switch which had Breath of the Wild wasn't an exclusive as it was on the WiiU.

For games that offer free PS5 version do ye think they'll still require the PS4 disc? Was just thinking you will or what's to stop 1 person giving multiple people PS5 versions.

I'm the same. There's absolutely nothing being released at launch that makes me want to buy it but its new and shiny so I want it anyway

. I bought every PS at launch until the PS4, held off on that until the following year when Argos started doing killer deals so picked one up then. Will hopefully do the same this time when there'll be something out worth buying it for!

I want all black too, white can feck off.

I haven't yet made my mind up about when to get the console myself. The technophile and Playstation fanboy in me says to get it at launch. The adult in me says to wait for a special edition console cause they will definitely have one, just no idea when hahaha.

From a quick Google, the first hardware revision was the CUH-1208B model, which replaced the touch eject for a button. Came bundled with TLOU and GoW 3 Remastered. This Wiki shows all the models, but most don't have dates unfortunately. Did the OG PS4 ever get rid of the 2-tone? I forgot I had that, what with having the Pro since launch-ish.

They dropped the two tone finish before the Pro arrived.

Not sure where I’ll get the PS5. Got the 4 in that gaming Mecca of Brown Thomas. Zero hassle. Couldn’t be dealing with midnight openings even back then.

Wasn't that just a 1TB hard drive vs the standard 500gb?

Yea that wasn't a significant revision, IIRC there was a version that sucked slightly less power. PS3, PS4 and PSP took 3 years for their first revisions, I see no reason atm why PS5 would be any different.

No, there was a hardware revision inbetween the launch consoles and Slim/Pro - I think it was called the Ultimate Player Edition - that was a slight tweaking of the fist model and made slight improvements. I had one before I traded it in for the Pro.

If you mean the PS4 slim and PS4 Pro, it is about three years since the first PS4 launched.

How long does it normally take for the first revision to come out on a console where they've ironed out the kinks from the launch model? About a year?

I did the midnight launch of the PS4 and XboxOne in Smyths. Was first in line both times. Needed to be a bit earlier for the PS4 one!

Think it was the PS4 one that the second person stood the other side of the entrance from me... and then everyone started to queue behind them. I was worried it was going to become a 'queue skipper' thing when I walked up when they opened.
