10k man im gonna have to see if my sugar momma can get give me a couple of her SSI checks.
PS4 had that super cheap one, they dont need to include it because the controller has a mic and speaker.
$9999 for both? Or either one? Surely no one is going to choose the DE one?Full image:
Ah, so that's what the 'Sony Holder' event at PAX is next week. The holder is what they're calling the stand.
PS4 came with a mono earbud and mic. DualSense has an integrated mic.
Pro arrived with new 4K60 HDR-ready cables. PS5 will 100% come with newest cable spec also.
This time, every DualSense has a mic and a speaker, so everyone will be able to chat without a headset.
As far as I could find, the most high-end nand controllers available are 8 channels, which explains why they had to make a custom one at 12.
The interesting aspect is that they can use lower price, slower nand (TLC,QLC) to get the same performance as the high end PC nvme.
The only Sony console which has an external psu was the ps1 slim/psone if I'm not mistaken...
Didn't the original PS2 have one as well, I distinctly remember have a smaller looking PS2 to plug in the back ports.
Oh right I was mistaken, it was the PS2 Slim which have an external brick. And also the Vita TV also has an external brick if you consider that as a console
yeah so its a very nice way to save money and get performance gains.
That's for maximum Blast Processing!
Kidding.
The reason is that they are using 64 Gibibyte NAND modules distributed on 12 channels. 64 Gibibytes = 68 Gigabytes. As each module access one of those 12 channels, you can multiply the numbers to get the total space availabe: 64 x 12 = 768 gibibytes, which translates to 825 gigabytes.
They must have also planned a specs ceiling based on allowing upgrades with non-proprietary drives.
The 5.5GB/s have custom priority queues which will need something like a 6.5GB/s consumer drive to be equivalent... and Cerny said they expect consumer pcie4 drives to reach 7GB/s after PS5 launch. It's all adding up. So they have the fastest possible that can respect all design goals.
Yeah, Road to PS5 they had a goal of 5GB per sec. they wanted to have .27 a sec transfer for 2 GB or data.
So far in this thread no one has mentioned the Digital version having the same 825GB size as the physical one.
A few months back some felt it would have less space.... or maybe more space (and launch at the same price as the physical version).
So now we know it will still be cheaper, while having the same amount of storage.
Edit- NM seems it was already stated at the reveal. Spec sheet I believe.

Because it's not a 1TB SSD? You will actually have less than 825GB available to you.
yeah disk drive is pretty much the only difference which is great.
We've known since March I think. Coz they configured it that way to get the high speed I believe
They are using 12x 64GB modules which comes to the 768GB that we have (825GB in marketing speak)
These modules would presumably need to be doubled in size, which must have been too pricey to do.
Probably wasn't feasible to put one in that could live up to the 3D audio fidelity they are going for. I think the previous ones were single ear buds/
I actually like the look of the PS5 and I do enjoy having a standard power cable but I do wonder how much smaller it could've been with an external psu.
Good point.
What's is game chat like on Ps4? I always felt that the lack of included headsets disrupted Xbox one in its later years- on top of party chat.
They probably felt it wasn't necessary with the Dualsense having a built in mic.
They pretty much had to include the stand with it being needed for both orientations but nice to see it confirmed.
Yeah, most Sony consoles have internal psu, for me it is good, because a huge brick specially with short cable means has to be hanging somewhere.
But with the heat the console will probably generate, i somehow expected to be the case with ps5, so if true I'm really happy that is internal
There is a mic inside the controller, so no problem like that, even more accessible.
We will see how that works.
Jim Ryan even said it in an interview. I guess no one believed him.
768 GiB is 825 GB.
12 channel, 512Gib Nand Chip / channel
512 x 12 = 6,144 Gib = 768 GiB = 824.633720832 GB = 825GB
He meant 12 x 64 GiB (gibibytes) which js equal to 768GiB/825GB
Converting from Gibibyte to Gigabyte which is how storage is represented in daily usage.
1 gibibyte = 1.074 gigabytes
There was so much speculation and guessing that happened, even after something was officially stated, that I guess I got caught up in it and forgot. lol
