Pretty much in the same boat on purchasing...minus the PC stuff. I will Definitely be getting the new Xbox at launch. I’ll have to see the PS5 but I imagine I’ll get one also. I always plan/budget for the new console releases. It’s pretty much a normal event for me to grab the new hardware at launch.dbdynsty25 wrote:It’s funny, I really could care less about what they are “offering”. There will be a PS5 and a new Xbox and I will buy them, almost without even thinking about it. It’s a hobby I enjoy and I just figure I’m spending a grand every 5 years on new consoles and another fifteen hundred on a new PC every 3 years. It’s just the way it goes...and I plan accordingly.
It’s the Switch that really threw me for a loop since I buy more games and play it more than either of my other two consoles/PC. Crazy.

Re: Next Gen XBOX (Project Scarlett) and PlayStation 5
Definitely the next Xbox. With the Show going cross platform, will likely skip the PS5.
Re: Next Gen XBOX (Project Scarlett) and PlayStation 5
I was actually thinking of going PS5 just because of the Show after only having Xbox the last 3 generations. Was happy to hear the news of the Show coming to Xbox. Can't wait to finally get to play after only hearing about it for years.

Such a 2002 gaming head line but what else would any rational person expect from morons?
Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
This is as expected. Let’s face it, the new X is basically a gaming PC...which is a great thing in my opinion. My guess is any game being developed right now is being developed with the new console in mind. Being Windows based should make it fairly easy to transition the game to the new system. Priorities being frame rate, resolution and load times.Rodster wrote:"Xbox Series X Won’t Launch With Next-Gen Exclusive Games"

Any news is interesting news to me. I love the build up to console launches.

Sony skipping E3 again. Disappointing. Not sure if it’s a mistake. I think it just gives Microsoft an entire week to woo the masses.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
Does it really matter at this point? People who are still stuck on supporting one over the other aren't going to change. E3 is a shell of what it once was so no big loss there. Besides wasn't there last E3 showing the larger cluster f*** with all those tents and the Last of Us 2 footage, that's 2 years ago.Diablo25 wrote:Sony skipping E3 again. Disappointing.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
Could not agree more, Dan. Sony could show a machine that mops my floors, sucks my wand and balances my checkbook, and I'm not leaving the Xbox ecosystem. Have been in it exclusively for 18 years. Love it, especially Live and GamePass, two features Sony hasn't surpassed and doesn't show much interest in matching or surpassing.Danimal wrote:Does it really matter at this point?

I think people are pretty entrenched in their system of choice these days, whether it's PC, Xbox or PlayStation. Or they're completely platform-agnostic and hardcore and buy all three of those systems for gaming. Nobody is right or wrong with that decision.
But I also agree that E3 lacks the power it had before social media, when you hung on every presentation, photo, Internet video and story from the convention to get your gaming news. Now the console manufacturers and game companies are their own media production companies, and it really doesn't matter whether you watch a video before, during or after E3.
The gaming media is becoming more irrelevant than ever as industry gatekeepers. Most gaming media outlets suck the collective johnson of the hardware and software companies, eschewing independence and objectivity in exchange for access in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

I was thinking they might add a display adapter port but just the standard HDMI.

Only one HDMI port? Wonder if the XBSX is going to have TV input like the XB1X or bail on that feature.

Yeah it sounds like they might have gotten rid of the pass through hdmi, I was hoping they would somehow bring back snap tv that should be able to work a lot better with a more powerful system.Diablo25 wrote:Only one HDMI port?

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
Not exactly a surprise based on specs, right?
Sony struggling with PS5 costs, price point uncertain
It'll be harder to resist as launch nears, but I'm considering waiting for a price cut for the first time since the PS2 (when it was by necessity). I played so much more at the launch of the Xbox One that even though I hated the Kinect, the $500 was justifiable.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
I'm thinking $599 for the PS5, maybe Microsoft will surprise with an undercut in price for the Series X. Superfast onboard SSD storage is NOT cheap and it sounds like that storage will be at least 1800 mb/s if not faster.Dave wrote:Not exactly a surprise based on specs, right?

The onboard storage on my 2018 Mac mini is around 2600 MB/s so I wouldn't be surprised if we see those numbers on the PS5 and Series X because both consoles are empathizing short load times.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
The Series X will fit in my entertainment center horizontally with plenty of room to spare. It doesn't seem to me that it would cool itself as efficiently that way, but I would think it would have to be able to do so adequately enough for Microsoft to state that it can operate either way. I'm starting to feel a little bit of a buzz over the releases of the X and the 5.
