What even exclusive games are on it? Astro's Playroom and Demon's Souls are the only ones I can think of >_>

Why not just wait until next year when there's more exclusive games on it? Why are people paying like $1000+ to scalpers or tearing each other down and spreading corona in malls by going nuts for a console with barely any exclusive games right now?

The PS5 version is "free", though, off-setting the price of the console entirely.

I put this on the PS5 board and of course you got a few people calling me jealous or saying that their system crashing twice in a week is no big deal.

I love system boards >_>

it's a hype thing. people want it because other people have it and they're talking about it.

only reason im slightly interested in one is that i never picked up a ps4 pro and a number of games in my queue will benefit from the performance boost.

also the launch ps5 seems to be very buggy. I don't get putting so much money and effort into getting a console that is probably going to not work anyway. and like was said, there isn't really anything out yet that you need a ps5 to play. that Astro game is just a tech demo. and Demon Souls is a remake of a game from 2 gens ago. even if I had the money for a ps5 or series x, I probably would wait. this gen's launch isn;t all that exciting

I also think the pandemic has been part of it. PS4's have been hard to get this year because a ton of people bought them up. There weren't even any PS4 black Friday deals because nobody had excess stock, and most retailers I checked online were sold out anyway.

Also I almost never get a launch console after the fiasco that was the RROD which plagued the 360.

Nintendo is almost an exception, but they do so many revisions

I'm interested in it for sure but that's because my ps4 is 7 years old and I feel like I'm not getting the most out of my games, I'm also worried cyberpunk will run like shit on base models. getting a pro version seems like a waste since the ps5 is here.

Especially since you'll be paying $300 minimum for a pro second hand right now. A used pro is $370 at gamestop.

exactly. I looked up prices out of curiosity and was like "lol no"

I'll likely get a ps5 when people stop killing each other over them and maybe if they stop getting bricked by certain games...

I think the high quality exclusives of Demons Souls and Astro Bot + better versions of great new games Spider-Man Miles Morales and Sackboy are a better reason than usual to buy a launch console tbh

if you know youre going to want one eventually why not just get it now, when winter + covid ensures you have little else to do?

It would make sense if you're some kind of video game entertainer because it means easy money from people who are curious about the system in action. Otherwise it makes zero sense considering first launch consoles tend to have a lot of problems in general. I wait, hence I always get the superior console at a better price at the cost of waiting at least 1-2 years. But hey, let people buy into the hype.

Gamepass? Like that's the only reason I can see considering just how much value it brings.
