I figured we could go ahead and start this.

I wasn't able to watch it today, but Sony had a live event where they unveiled the PS5 console. I don't really have an opinion on the appearance yet, but it can be vertical or horizontal.

Do people still buy DVD’s or any media that needs to be put in a spinning drive?

Yes! I buy as many games physical as possible because I like sharing them with my friends and nephew when I'm done.

There are a couple of places in Joplin where you can rent 4K movies for around $5. It saves a little on data and you get the extras.

Xbox Series X/S Doesn’t Offer WiFi 6 or a USB-C Port Like the PlayStation 5 Does

When a new console comes out, most people focus on the big headline features – CPU and GPU speed, storage, the controller – but the little things matter too, and it seems the PlayStation 5 outdoes the Xbox Series X/S when it comes to a few of those little things. Microsoft recently released the full spec sheet for the Xbox Series X/S and it seems they’ve skimped a bit when it comes to WiFi and USB ports.

The Xbox Series X/S will utilize the fifth-generation WiFi (802.11ac) standard, while the PS5 will use WiFi 6 (802.11ax). WiFi 6 offers a maximum download speed of 9.6gbps, while WiFi 5 maxes out at 6.9gbps. Now, these top speeds only theoretical, as you’re lucky to achieve downloads a tenth that fast under real-world conditions. That said, it’s the comparison that’s useful – the PS5 should be able to download things via WiFi around 30 percent faster than the Xbox Series X/S. WiFi 6 is also said to be more stable in WiFi-congested areas, so those trying to play online wirelessly in apartment blocks or public places will hopefully have less problems.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's spec sheet also reveals the Xbox Series X/S will have three USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, while the PlayStation 5 will sport both a USB-C and a standard port. A USB-C cable can transfer more information than a standard UBC cable (up to 10gbps), but the reason most gamers ought to be interested in them is they can transfer more power, allowing you to charge controllers and other devices more quickly. It’s been confirmed the the PS5's DualSense controller and the Xbox Series X/S controller have a USB-C port for charging.

This.

htismaqe · 09-15-2020, 06:42 PM

I won't be getting one any time soon. It sounds like they're going to be limiting stock due to supplier delays (COVID) so there's going to be a shortage in the near term.

Plus I have plenty of PS4 games to finish for now.

Preorders are sold out

. Some retailers just couldn't wait until tomorrow and opened the floodgates. Think the only chance left is Amazon.

I had shit to do yesterday and couldn't get one. Oh well. All the dickheads trying to flip these for 1000 dollars on eBay are gonna be surprised to find out how many people are fine with waiting. That and there's already a metric assload of these on eBay and it hasn't even been a whole day yet

Out of stock by the time I saw this. Thanks though. It's all good. I'm totally fine not getting one at launch. Demon's Souls is the one game I would even care about at launch. And it will still be there later.

Mecca · 09-17-2020, 07:36 AM

I learned a long time ago buying a launch system is a good way to get bugs, buy one in March and you're good.

If ya'll see more available pre-orders, let a dude know.
