Reviews are out and still no information about whether or not PS5s Tempest engine works with amps or dacs... We need an audiophile review :D I wanna use my DT 1990 with a good amp or dac. I don't want to plug them into the controller. :/

Holy shit those reviews are raving. Clear contrast to XSX. I just read a line or two on it being silent, but have most outlets been impressed with it being silent/cool?

Both serie x and ps5 looks to be fantastic piège of hardware. But software and dual sense. Damn ps5 is phenomenal

I'm so happy that both consoles this time seems to be extremely capable, I think this with the additions of SSDs across the board will make a huge difference for games this gen. It's great that the consoles weren't outdated day 1 like last gen but instead have good CPUs, great GPUs and REALLY good SSDs.

PS5 having a playtime counter that retroactively tells you your PS4 game time is a gamechanger.

I've been reading the Polygon FAQ and I am a bit annoyed that there isnt any PS5 Dynamic themes or any themes at all for that matter. Also it appears that Sony have shafted everyone who doesnt have PS+ and wants to backup their PS5 saves as the PS5 doesnt support USB for save games.

Yeah, PS5 clearly got something special here with the dualsense. So glad that Sony went this direction.

But the Sony's videos from yesterday said you could tranfer your saves using USB, unless they only meant PS4 games saves.

Big difference in reviews seems to be the availability of new games, wouldn't say the other parts are showing much of a contrast.

I have a question if it has been answered by someone. Let's say my son wants to play on PS4 at the same time as I play PS5 on the same account, is that possible? Or will it sign one of us out?

Any mention of game sharing? More specifically, playing games using same account on ps4 and ps5 at the same time.

I should of clarified more. According to Polygon you can transfer PS4 saves with USB but not PS5 saves.

This is correct and I've asked Sony for clarification on it.

I think you have to treat it like having two consoles before, with primary console shenanigans. But with my account just signed into both consoles, load Ghost of Tsushima on one shut the game down on the other.

Very excited that both consoles are getting rave reviews. This is going to be a great generation.

I know I saw someone ask but now I can't find the post - nor any potential responses to it.

Has anyone reviewed this thing as far as how it performs as a 4K Blu Ray player? That's the only reason I'd get the disc version and I'm super curious if it's worth it.

Lack of native 1440p is such a boner killer. Anyone know if Sony has officially commented on this? Could it be added as a firmware update down the road?

...it's going to offer a significantly better experience, thanks to its fast loading times and stronger hardware, than you had with your PlayStation 4. And the DualSense is one of the best controllers I've ever held. I just hope that other developers use it as creatively as those who made Astro's Playroom.


DualSense keeps on giving, almost as excited to have it as my go-to gaming controller this gen as the console itself.

Great to see all the positive reviews.

I'm getting the XSX next week and the PS5 digital edition sometime in the new year. Starting to wish I did it the other way round now but it's something to look forward to.

Everyone keeps on saying there isn't any reason to buy these new consoles. You can play these on your PS4 (pro). I still have a launch PS4 and I did not upgrade to the Pro. All these media sites assume we all upgraded mid-gen. Going from my launch PS4 to a new PS5 is going to be awesome! I can't wait!

I'm with you. I have a launch PS4 so when I do manage to actually buy a PS5 it's going to be a substantial upgrade.

Ah ok that's fine thanks for the answer! I was just going to cancel my physical Miles Morales as the digital comes with the PS4 version and he loves Spider-Man so he could play as well. I guess I could just let him play offline if need be!

Haven't had the chance to read but does anyone mention how quickly discs take to install to the console? Is it still a long slog like it is on the PS4 for some games
