Yup especially the genres we like such as JRPGs, strategy RPGs, VNs, shmups, etc don't need future versions and aren't going to be getting any visual upgrades anyways. They're fine just the way they are and you want to be able to play them on your current system and not have to go re-buy them again.
Completely agree. There are some PS3 games I’d like to finish and can’t. Mercenaries 2 (why, I don’t know) and finishing up the platinum trophy on the saboteur are things I wish I could wrap up, and I’d probably pay $5-$10 bucks for a digital copy rather than hassle with tracking down a physical copy. Easy money for them
I’m 99% sure it can play off of old discs. The One X (and the other One consoles) could and I think most assume the same is for the Series X.
these new systems seem thicc and i dont think the 8-shaped plug is likely for the ps5. the ps4 pro used a fat plug for launch systems, then it changed to the same as the slim, the 8 way
It’s not confirmation by any means but they have posted pictures of the power cables. The blue background is the PS5 and the green tinted image is XSX.
Every PlayStation ever made has had a built in power supply. Also the power cable that is used has not changed for several generations. You should be able to use a ps4 power cable on a ps5. However, we would need to confirm this around launch.
Right there with you dude (three kids though, 2 through 8) and the older ones are getting into gaming. I got both pre-ordered because I have a backlog and want to play my PS4 games on my PS5 and I have a healthy collection of OG Xbox and 360 games. I'm in the process of piecing out my GameCube collection because I recently installed a GC loader into my GameCube and it's been amazing.
My 4 year old likes games, I just limit play time. And oddly enough I never really played with her to get her into it, she just figured it out one day.
Both systems will most definitely require you to have the disc in the drive for games to work if you don't own them digitally. It's true OG Xbox and 360 games trigger a download and don't install anything from the disc but XB1 and PS4 games will likely install the same way they always have on the new systems.
I believe gamestop is giving $200 for PS4 pro toward PS5 until 11/30 right?
I know not everyone is a fan of Facebook Marketplace, but I recently sold my Pro and one controller for $260. A lot of them are going in the $250-300 range right now.
Sold mine on facebook marketplace too.
I despise Facebook but Facebook marketplace has been pretty clutch for me. I’ve found some great things on there from people super close. Just be smart about it.
I had issues with my launch day PS4 after about 6 months where the disc drive just stopped working. I called Sony and they knew based off the release date that it was still under warranty. They had a replacement to me in about a week or two. I just played my x1 while I waited. Really wasn’t too much of a hassle, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
Never tried it, but I have seen people say that GameStop does not allow you to break bundles like that. Return all or nothing.
Worst case can trade it at gamestop for $200 credit towards new console.
It's very YMMV. You either get the cool employee/can't wait for their shift to be over employee, or the corporate employee.
I would definitely expect Gamestop to stop people from returning bundled items separately. No way would they allow it.
You could always "trade" it in and get like a few bucks back. But as far as full cost for an unopened product, very doubtful.
99% sure you’ll need the disc in to play HD Spider-man.
Oh well, thanks!
Good to hear. I think I might sell my last of us pro a few weeks after I receive the ps5. It should maintain its value.....?
Seems like there are buyers who are aware of the PS5 but don’t want to pony up $500 for it, so the Pro is a good compromise at under $400. I threw in a new copy of Spider-man and a disc-only copy of Prey, but I think adding a few games can also entice buyers to spend a bit more. I’m debating how to list my X1X because it’s a Scorpio, so that should bring a bit more but I also don’t think the average buyer has much awareness of LE’s vs standard consoles. Guess we’ll see with that ... also more hesitant to sell it anytime soon since I don’t have a Series X locked in yet.
Yeah Cyberpunk counts, probably going to be the most played game on the next gen consoles for awhile lol.
Are you getting the ps4 version?
