Yeah, lacking context because Cup deleted an image link and now I look psycho.

Realized he might come back for revenge.

Seen his Twitter pic, even looks angry in that.

Probably for the best. Being in Wisconsin, I should lay low too. They all wear camo, he could be watching me right now.

They're definitely a bit beefier this time around, even considering the new stuff that's been released since they've been announced.

I'd say they're easily better than the vast majority of laptop bound CPUs.

So is this an increase over usual production, or where the original production orders lower due to COVID shutdowns?

A little bit of both (more the latter though). PS4 sold some 7M units in the first few months, so reaching 10M is an increase in production on that (remains to be seen if they can sell them of course).

Wonder what cats do when they bugger off for days at a time. From what read they hardly every actually eat stuff like mice, just play-catch-them as prey.

If you want your cats to actually catch/eat mice, I've been told you can't feed them regularly (like one usually does with pets).

As a non-cat owner that sounds equally legit and bullshit. So who knows lol

The speculated BoM (bill of materials) is set around 470$ for the PS5.

A Bluray drive likely doesn't cost them 50$, but let's assume it does. That would leave the Digital PS5 at ~420$.

At best, they would take a hit to make it 399$ as the final retail price. The more logic move would be, however, to make it 450$ and make a small profit on it.

Anything below 399$ is a bit of a fantasy tbh.

but if you look at history they always take a huge hit. look at ps3 it cost them 840 to build that machine and sold it at 600. that is a 240 dollar loss. ps2 480 and launch with the 299 price tag. the ps4 was the first console to make a profit at launch at 18 dollars cost 381 to make and launched at 399. the ps5 cost 450 or 470 so i can see a 299 digital and 399 price dags for both. they can eat more money so they can get that money back in software because how much faster they would move these console at those price points.

even the ps3 slim 336 to make and sold it at 299. even that far in there eating money.

That's the thing. They changed their strategy with the PS4 and it ended up making them more money than they ever dreamed of.

I have serious doubts they'll go back into selling the hardware at any type of loss now.

Take it elsewhere, this isn't the board for that.

Sure, in fantasy land that could happen.

At best the Digital PS5 is 50$ cheaper than the regular version.

no because they will cut it by 50 because the price of the blu-ray but they can go lower than that because they make it up from digital sales. sony makes more of a profit when its on there store because it excludes the stores profit like walmart or gamestop giving more of a profit to sony.

But yeah, one day I was getting a little too stupid with one of my troll alts. Think it was my Glorious_Nippon weeb alt? Freedom01 went to mod it and saw I had other troll alts. You reached out to me, maybe on Discord and was like bro... which account do you want to keep lol.

But yeah man, been a couple of years.

Oh shit... I *feel* like I remember that particular name (Glorious_Nippon) lol

And yeah! Been away for a while. Life and all that "fun" stuff. This whole Covid thing has me with a lot more availability to churn out bans like a madman again! :D

Any answer that isn't 13 (or it's sequels) is pretty valid. So that.

Ah shit, that was crazy.

Funny thing was, those 5 banned accounts were known alts that Desmonic kindly messaged me about before banning them. Wasn't even some ban dodger shit.

Hopefully nobody was truly duped by my mysterious alt by the name of... NotConansAlt.

Still, the banned emoji lives on.
