If you're worried then maybe have a little patience. You don't have to buy every single item up front if cost is a concern.
Are you trading another console? Any backlog of good games?

Sony's headphones aren't cheap but Im still interested in the Pulse3D ($150?) at launch. Spiderman should sound amazing with 3D audio.
I really like the controller the more I see it. The more I see of the headset, the less I want it. Looks like the same plastic junk they've been selling for years. Only having 12 hours of battery life is ridiculous. I'll just plug a good pair of headphones into the controller along with a Boompro. Hopefully they've improved the audio streaming quality to the controller.
I never understood bringing in a big "haul" on day one? Why buy 5 or 6 games instead of 1-2 and finish them? Why get all accessories instead of something you know your going to use right away? Why not trade in the old platform and cut into half the cost to upgrade?
No way I'm spending anywhere close to a grand this holiday.
If it supports it, PS4 Spider-Man sadly don't do it currently
They know it's not big enough. People are asking for >30hrs. That's like 2-3x that of the DS4.
I like that the shell around the camera is also the stand for it, so it opens up to clamp on the back of your TV.
Will... will there even be 5-6 games at launch...?
j/k
not a j/k
definitely a j/k
I'm expecting PS+/Now to supply me with a few PS5 games and Astrobot comes bundled in as well so I'm most likely just buying Miles and the docking station at launch.
Waiting on reviews for those Pulse headphones, the hinges on the Golds were notoriously bad.
I already have $1k saved up, I started last year. I can hold off,also I do not trade in consoles or games. I have a special account for my gaming habits.
Oh, I'm in the same boat, lol.
I'll probably get everything except the remote. I will be getting an extra Dual Sense controller tho.
I'm gonna miss my PS4 remote control, it is simply the best one I've ever received. I absolutely hate the simplistic remote design, I really don't understand it.
It's great! Works with my receiver, TV and PS4. It's a little slow, but I love having the options for multiple inputs. Not just "PAUSE AND PLAY"

This is what you call wasting money.
Get the PS5 and a game or two and that's it.
You can get the rest later, cheaper.
Yeah, at launch the most I'd get would be the console, 2 games and maybe the headset (if it sounds like it's worth it from impressions, if not I'll just use my current one in the meantime). An extra controller and the charging station can wait till the next 2 months.
You don't need the headset, charging station, and 5-6 games at launch. And spend less on candles.
Yeah there's no way I'm buying 5-6 games at launch lol. 2-3 max and rest are upgraded PS4 titles for me.
Crazy how I am being told how to spend my money. I assure you all my Bill's are paid. I don't NEED all those accessories for sure. I also don't NEED a PS5. It is a WANT, not a NEED. However, I am also responsible enough to realize I don't need to purchase 5 - 6 games. I most likely won't, however I saved up enough that I could if I wanted too.
PS4 supports green/blue chroma key background removal.
Broadcasting your gameplay | PlayStation®4 User's Guide
PlayStation®4 Official User's Guide. Explains how to use the PS4™ system.
Just checked and the other system software 7.51 camera PIP options are position, size, flip horizontally, background (square, circle, auto cut out or chroma key), effect (filters), brightness, contrast, transparency, find face (detects face once and zooms in)
The scanlines filter looks a bit like the MGS codec!
There's a pic of the charging contacts on DS (not dock) but I can't easily link. The contact pads are closer to the surface, larger and turned 90deg so look like they should make much easier drop-on dock contact.
Yes, the red PS4 camera LED lights only when the camera's actively capturing A/V.
The DualSense has a small glow in the bottom middle of the touchpad which has a similar form to the PS5 camera light so I think it could also be a simple privacy indicator for DS mic. mute status.
I don't think 'environments' alone is a good example here, previously used examples like sand and ice were much clearer.
If worst comes to worst, PM me and we can figure something out. I'm in the US, should be compatible.
I see why it happened looking at how busy that remote was but this new one is pretty damn simplistic lolI'm gonna miss my PS4 remote control, it is simply the best one I've ever received. I absolutely hate the simplistic remote design, I really don't understand it.

It's s good looking controller but damn do I wish it had paddles. I just can't go back to clicking sticks.
Have they said anything about the compatibility of that accessory with this controller?

Do whatever you want, and congrats that you can. I am planning on getting the system and maybe 1-2 games. Saving now.
but I will stress that the headset and charging station especially are candidates for sales shortly after launch. November? Probably not tho I could see both be discounted a little bit for December sales.
but I imagine in January or Feb the dock will at least have a few sales at retailers and wouldn't be shocked if the headset has at least a few $20 off sales by March - April. So if you wait you might save some good money.
and there will a million knock off charging docks for probably $5-$10 probably 1-2 months after launch so you can always hold out. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a USBC dock that already works with it or that PowerA will have a cheaper one at launch
There's got to be something big they're not sharing since they haven't shown the back of the console. Maybe those patents about adding another GPU or APU has something to do with this.
I reckon the extra wide groove around the rear DualSense mic. is so you can more easily feel if you're touching and covering it. Adds another unique visual feature for the online manual to identify the reset button so you don't stick a pointy thing in the wrong hole too..
If the patent showing the mic. array is accurate to the final design, the forward and rear facing microphones sit back to back deep in the middle of the controller with a tunnel to the exterior holes.

This is a good point, also will it work w/ inevitable PSVR2.
I would absolutely love if this PS5 could replace my NVIDIA Shield TV setup. I want up to date apps, 4K options, HDR and DV, snappy interface is probably a given considering the SSD, 5.1 capability and running PLEX off it.
Not trying to put the focus away from games, but that media remote seems so hype and if I can use one platform to watch everything without sacrifice, it would be a dream come true.

i would have hope that a PSVR2 will not need a camera and will be just using inside-out tracking ala occulus quest/rift s
I hated how it looked like there was a black strip going down the insides of the grips but seeing what the whole thing actually looks like... kinda makes it better? Looks less awkward, at least. Bit of a shame they've completely gotten rid of the light bar at the back though, gonna miss the old thing. I liked how it looked and never minded the battery issues. At least they've found a neat way to keep the lights. Looks pretty slick too.
I have a theory that the new camera will work with current and PSVR2 tracking. If I'm right the camera will track the headset, and the headset will have cameras built in to track the controller eliminating tracking issues when you're not facing the camera. It makes sense if you think about it... the lights are on face of the controller.
OT.
i have a shield tv as well and i think it's a waste to use PS5 as a media player as the shield tv has so much more option (being android tv and all) in terms of media playback, less power consumption plus the crazy amount of emulators available for it. PS1/2 bc not available for PS5? No problem! Shield TV basically solved everything
