@hardwenzen: You’re no more of a Cow than I am …. I don’t play games on a ps5 either. Sony has screwed you over again, and you should just be thankful to MS that you have something to play on your PC.

So in the past 12 months, Sony has released:

$199.00 DS Edge Controller

$449.00 Digital PS5

$499.00 Standard PS5

$29.99 PS5 vertical stand

$199.00 PSP

$549.00 PSVR2

And zero first party games for our PS5. LET'S FUCKING GO!

there are plenty of first party titles for those who buy a ps5 for the first time. heck they will get lost of which to play first.

psvr2 gave me over 50 titles to choose from in 2023.

heck Im having more fun playing mini golf in vr than starfield.

nevermind res8 in vr in 2023.

the only thing I can see not worth is vertical stand for 30.

xbox just started releasing games after 3 years of halo and forza.

please xbox is in third for a reason. 360 was xbox console sold just as much as ps3.

it took xbox billions to get were they are today. now xbox is in the red with gamepass.

micrsoft is lucking it has windows for pc to make that money back.

ps5 only has tv lmao. how many ps5 exclusive games have you played sense it launched? more than xbox and you know it.

All of that damage control because Sony lacks first-party titles for the year.😂

thought first party wasn't everything. xbox fans excuse for years before games started to flow in.

heck ps5 had bg3 and ff16 before xbox. so ps5 players had plenty to play in 2023 on top of vr games.

And PS5 is second for a reason. But not sure what Xbox has to do with PS having no first party games for the past 12 months for our PS5.

so psvr2 does not count or horizon call of the mountain and spiderman2.

heck bg3 and ff16 are not on xbox yet which gave ps5 owners plenty to play in 2023.

between third exclusives and vr exclusives.

so funny gamers bitch about the ps5 stand now they removed it and the bitch some more.

no one liked how the stand looked in horizontal. saying it kept slipping off the stand in so they changed that. my ps5 kept sliding off the stand on my entertainment center. heck everyone complained about using a fing screw driver. omg a screw driver im a man in 2023 I don't touch tools.

was forced to get a small table on the side to make it vertical.

I don't think gamers can be happy anymore.

GAMERS BECAME BITCHES. but no one notices the design are subject to change without notice.

That little leg is pathetic. I am a massive cow, and i am ashamed of being associated with that pathetic little leg, dude. This is the most bitch made leg i have ever seen in over 20 years. Its disgusting.

@blaznwiipspman1: Thanks, man. And I totally agree with you. I've been walking an hour every night since May. Just finished the Harry Potter books, and now I'm onto Stephen King. I walk my neighborhood, which is basically in the woods. So instead of daydreaming about riding a hippogryph, now I'm going "was that werewolf? I'm pretty sure that was werewolf." 😜 I've also been trying to eat better, but I that's a work in progress. Still, I've lost about twenty pounds. My next step is to break out my adjustable dumbbells. Keeping motivation up is pretty hard, so I try to make everything a routine. It seems to be easier to keep the ball rolling if I do that. I've also discovered psilocybin, and I can't tell you how much that has helped. I've been working on a board game, and am just about to go to Kickstarter. Hopefully it works. Anywho, thanks for the suggestions 👍

No, PSVR2 doesn't count as a game for our PS5, lol. It's a $600 add on gimmick. Spider-Man 2 isn't out yet. The last time we had a first party game for our PS5 was 12 months ago. Spider-Man will finally break that drought. But it goes back to a drought after that.

BG3 and FF16 are 3rd party games. I said first party.

@dimebag667: I highly reccomend cardio exercises, because that's what tends to get your heart pumping, and boosts your aerobic fitness. Weights are great too, but I would consider them secondary. Try setting a goal, maybe running a 5k, or a 7 minute mile. Getting motivated is the hard part for sure, I'd reccomend reading up on some books on habits and other self help books. Once you have a certain rhythm going for 6 months, it becomes automatic.

Damn it, I got too serious for system wars 😭😭. I'll go back to cow bashing soon.

@gifford38: Of course gamers bitch. It’s bitching that stops these companies from doing what ever it takes to make millions from their customers.

It’s bitching that reversed stupid decisions like forced Kinect, always online Xbox Ones, charging for upgrades for games from ps4 to ps5 and hopefully charging more for a cheaper to produce ps5 while removing a stand that let you rest it vertically and charging 30 bucks for that privilege.

Even hardcore Cows like Wenzen are shocked by this piddly piece of cheap plastic….but you defend Sony through thick and thin.

Unbelievable.

@blaznwiipspman1: I hear you, and I want to run, but I also really enjoy listening to the books, so I'm not trying to shorten that time. The path I walk is actually quite hilly, and my heart is thumping the whole time. I walk almost a 5k every night, and I've shaved off about 12 minutes since I started. My main concern with running is the repetitive stress on my joints. Plus, since I'm doing it at night, tripping or slipping on a stick would almost guarantee some injury. I baby giraffed on a wet twig the other night, and had I been jogging at a full clip, I would have eaten shit hard. Maybe someday, but I feel good where I am right now.

Ok soldier, back to the front.

no I don't like the fact they are charging for stand but doesn't change the fact every gen before we had to buy the stand. not one console other than series x and ps5 comes with a stand.

heck series s does come with one.

series x one doesn't even come off.

series x really doesn't have a stand.

ps5 came with one because of the design.

how do you know its cheaper? sometimes going small cost more.

what if the factories making these are charging sony more.

new heat sinks, moher boards have new design.

we don't know why they are charging the digital one 50 bucks more.

we all assume sony is robbing everyone.

PEOPLE FORGET THEY ARE CHARGING 50 BUCKS MORE FOR SERIES S WITH BIT MORE SPACE.

Because it finally has strong pro-growth leadership that understands middle-out economic policies are what grow consumer-based economies, not trickle down welfare giveaways to those at the top at the expense of everyone else.

@gifford38: Lol…what are you waffling on about? 50 bucks more for a series s? What?

Series S is not a redesign, and offers 640gb more storage, as opposed to 200 more on the slim (less when taking the OS on board).

Sony launches a redesigned ps5 and use a piddly piece of see through plastic to hold it up one way, and charges 30 bucks to stand it up the way that most people do. That’s dog awful design.

Ps5 slim digital is the first mid gen console EVER to launch more expensive than the original. That goes all the way back to ps1.

You keep defending those choices all you want, they’re still there. If enough gamers “keep bitching about it” they may not be.

Listen up pansy. Sony didn't become great by creating crap like game pass. They became great by creating amazing games and getting us to pay for them. You pay for that 30 dollar horizontal stand and tip the cashier so we can have a company that still produces actual video games.

I said earlier in this thread that I was considering getting a PS5 Slim Digital. But now I've taken the time to think about it, it doesn't sound like a great deal.

£389 for the digital edition... Okay, but this will be over THREE YEARS in the to the gen when this thing releases.

How much is the PS5 add-on Blu Ray drive in the UK? £100. 100 fucking pounds :-O... WTF? You can buy some of the highest end Blu Ray rewriters for that price on the PC. And I highly doubt this drive will be of that quality.

Then I have to pay £25 for the stand.

£70 per game.

Sony JUST raised the price of all the online services. So £60 for the basic service.

This sounds like fucking joke. Xbox is like, buy a Series S and Gamepass Ultimate and you're good to go. Some how, this is bad because... Concerned cows. But wtf is Sony doing three years into the gen with these costs. Saying you're going to buy a PS5 just to play a few of their exclusives is a very expensive endeavour.

Uh… Xbox just raised the price of GamePass, and they also added a new Series S SKU which bumped the storage and raised the price.

Oh, and I thought the PS5 drive is a 4K drive, not blu ray lol.

@SolidGame_basic: Mould these decisions anyway you like with comparisons, this isn’t a good look for Sony.

Yes, Series S has a storage bump but it gains 500gb for the same amount of money Ps5 went up by for an extra 125gb. Also, that series S isn’t a refresh - you’re only paying for more storage.

Sony (and Xbox for that matter) have always redesigned and improved consoles mid gen with slim versions….and they’ve always been cheaper going back to the ps1 slim.

The new design isn’t an improvement at all, based solely on the silly stand approach. That little plastic pin keeping the console stable is laughable….thats seriously the best solution given the time? Why couldn’t they at least match the original console’s solution by including a stand that supports it both ways?

Gamepass did raise prices…but we’re talking about the biggest investment in gaming history. A huge library of games, plus countless day one releases on console and PC more than justifies a small price rise.

Psplus’s price increases weren’t justified by an improvement to the service.

Charging £100 for the UHD drive is fair enough….but it raises the price of the digital version above the disc version. Don’t get the logic.

@SolidGame_basic: Mould these decisions anyway you like with comparisons, this isn’t a good look for Sony.

Yes, Series S has a storage bump but it gains 500gb for the same amount of money Ps5 went up by for an extra 125gb. Also, that series S isn’t a refresh - you’re only paying for more storage.

Sony (and Xbox for that matter) have always redesigned and improved consoles mid gen with slim versions….and they’ve always been cheaper going back to the ps1 slim.

Countless Day 1 releases? Now I know you’re kidding 🤣

I said earlier in this thread that I was considering getting a PS5 Slim Digital. But now I've taken the time to think about it, it doesn't sound like a great deal.

£389 for the digital edition... Okay, but this will be over THREE YEARS in the to the gen when this thing releases.

How much is the PS5 add-on Blu Ray drive in the UK? £100. 100 fucking pounds :-O... WTF? You can buy some of the highest end Blu Ray rewriters for that price on the PC. And I highly doubt this drive will be of that quality.

Then I have to pay £25 for the stand.

£70 per game.

Sony JUST raised the price of all the online services. So £60 for the basic service.

This sounds like fucking joke. Xbox is like, buy a Series S and Gamepass Ultimate and you're good to go. Some how, this is bad because... Concerned cows. But wtf is Sony doing three years into the gen with these costs. Saying you're going to buy a PS5 just to play a few of their exclusives is a very expensive endeavour.

Uh… Xbox just raised the price of GamePass, and they also added a new Series S SKU which bumped the storage and raised the price.

Oh, and I thought the PS5 drive is a 4K drive, not blu ray lol.

But ALL you really need is Gamepass Ultimate.

They haven't stopped selling the standard Series S.

A 4K drive is a UHD Blu Ray drive and it's not worth £100. You can get UHD Blu Ray Rewriter for that price.

@SolidGame_basic: You picked that out of all the points I made?

Now I know you’re just trolling.

If you read one of my previous posts, I said that the slim is ugly lol. Definitely the worst slim version of any PlayStation and I'm not getting it.

But as far as the pricing goes, the original digital price was a steal, only $100 more than Xbox Series S, and far better machine. And now that both the new digital and the new Xbox Series S has 1tb drive, they're still only $100 apart. So PS5 still wins!

And yes, your claim of countless day 1 games on GamePass is ridiculous and far from the truth, that's why it's laughable!

@SolidGame_basic: Maybe not countless, but way more than Sony will be able to produce. All day one, while PSplus doesn’t have one. That’s the justification for the Gamepass hike, there isn’t one for psplus.

Your comments about the design mirror mine, and that was my main point. Sony had a chance to refresh the console and correct the negatives….they made them worse, and raised the price.

PS5 Slim is surprisingly ugly.

Yeah the PS5 digital may have been a steal... In 2020. This will come out in 2024 world wide. It's not a steal now, it's a rip off. The PS5 digital should be approaching £300 max at this point, not near £400 STILL.

Original Series S hasn't been phased out.

Why is it laughable that GP has loads of day 1 games? On top of the fact that MS will have their games, Zenimax games and ABK games all day one from now on, "countless" is an inevitability, not a pipe dream. And considering MS is going to keep buying studios... MS MAY get to the point where they have a AAA coming out maybe every 2 months or so in the coming years. 2022s drought MAY be one of the last ones they will ever have.
