That is kinda of an impressive cluster they have going on there. So if you have the disc - then you can play the game if you get the disc version of the PS5. If you get the DE you are out of luck. If you have a digital copy it will play on any PS5. However you will be playing the PS4 version on the PS5. Apparently if you want the remaster version you have to buy it separate. Maybe they will offer some form of a $10 upgrade... since that is the difference in cost. Pretty big mess for a first party game.

No is the answer to your question. They will be upgrading it, and it will be free when it comes. But they have been upfront that it is coming sometime in the future and not on day one.

I'm not sure they needed that. They were always going to 'win' this fall in system sales.

They really should have just focused all their manufacturing on the disc version and announced the DE was coming next March. They were always going to sell out this first shipment immediately no matter what they put out there.

I actually attempted 2 a couple of months ago, but I tried it on my xbox from the couch and I couldn't get into it. I may have liked it better from my PC. Maybe I will give it another shot when I am done with 3.

If we are posting awesome gaming stuff here - I am currently about 3/4 of the way through Wasteland 3. I haven't played any of the previous games in the series, but damn this one is great. The action is similar to xcom. It has a ton of loot to gather and upgrade. Almost everything is customizable. The random encounters start off like a D&D game. You can tell the people who made this love games. Highly recommend it - and it is available on gamepass.

Reading all this reminds me of the old days. I camped out at a best buy for a 360. Not really camped... But sat in the cold with a few buddies from 1 am until whenever they opened. That sucked and I have never done anything like that again.

Obviously not. But a pretty large switch in messaging.

Just saw that Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PS4 as well. So... Xbox isn't the only one supporting last gen for a couple years.

Ha. I don't really care, but a few months ago it was the big talking point. Remember the whole "Sony believes in generations of hardware" talk. That was all based around this game and how the speed of the game swinging through the streets could not have been accomplished on PS4. I'm not starting a war. PS5 had a great show and tons of good looking games. Good price to go with it. PS fans have a lot to be excited for.

I'm a little confused that the Miles Spidey game is coming to the PS4. I thought they had said they were doing things in the game using the new hard drive that would not be possible on the previous gen.

Soul to me looks fantastic and could be another home run. But I'm not sure the general public knows what it is at all. If they are going to charge $20-$30 for it then they still need to advertise for it before hand like it is a major release. If it just drops then very few people will pay for it.

I got you covered. $700 for a series X.

It wasn't just him. There were some industry journalists that were speculating a midnight pst. But the second tweet from XBOX that said wait for region specific times pretty much kills that notion.

So if they are going by region then no 2AM for me. I'm guessing they will stick close to the 8AM time everywhere.

I'm going to need some confirmation before I set an alarm. That would be 2AM for me. However it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if that is the time. I would be online hitting refresh and there would be many less people doing that in the middle of the night than there would be during the day.

I'll lay my money down that even on a slower wireless protocol, game downloads will be faster on Xbox. Unless Sony is going to announce enhanced back end, their store is garbage.

I'm a simple caveman, but from what I have taken from people smarter than me is that comparisons between the one s vs x1x and the series S vs series x are not valid. The one s and x1x were not developed together. The series S was specifically designed to scale down from the series x. It should be much easier for developers to design for the series x and scale back to the series S.

Agreed. Microsoft is selling the series S at a big loss, but I think they are in better financial shape to take the loss.

I think selling the ps5 for $500 is going to be at a loss for Sony. If they sell the digital version for $100 less it will be selling it for a huge loss. The drive costs about $40 and there are about 8 bucks in license fees. So they aren't saving 100 by removing the drive.

Nice...

Well the cost of that expansion HD made me choke. I'll be waiting a while for that rather than picking up right away. Hopefully 2nd parties come through on that. Now that all the cards are on the table why do we have to wait till the 22nd to pre order?

Well need is a strong word... Why would you want a 3090 and 3080?

One of us! One of us!

I really feel for how close we are to launch we haven't seen much from either side.
