I was on Patricks side until the "Costco branded whiskey" then he lost me.
Yeah, I recoiled from that. Even so, it fits him and I can understand it. "It does the job" clearly means something different for him then me since I'm not going to the scotch to just get hammered. The thing I'm often surprised about with Patrick's takes is something Rob mentioned. How reductive and obtuse he can be in relation to other people's point of view on points of view he doesn't share.
For the looks, I think it's(ps5) ugly and big and wish it was less ugly and less big. Best looking console for next gen atm is the Series S, if it would come in a single color. It's also the one I'm least likely to buy.
