Yes but to buy a pc that's equivalent to a console is way more expensive. And don't want the kids to play on my pc if I want to do some web trolling

both my kids have laptops (non gaming) and ipads (school provided, although i'm sure i just paid for it in school fees) it's a requirement these days. among us (space fall guys) is not very resource intensive and great fun.

the ps5 is our last console, my boy is already hinting at a proper gaming rig. he's also more cognizant of girls these days, but a gaming pc is way cheaper in the long run :)

Walk in sales might only be in full swing Q2 next year, and this will be for both PS and XB.

Try different retailers, maybe they will have for sale on launch day but highly doubt it.

You will need to wait for world production to increase and see how things pan out with the state of import and export due to covid as well :(

Well with the introduction of those new RTX 3 GPU cards the older RTX 2 series might come down in price, but meh who knows :)

It might also be a good thing not getting one, let us idiots waste our money and test the consoles before-hand. By the time it hit the shelves, you should pretty well know what to expect. Besides there is no game out now that will only run on new consoles that I know of?

I did. But my curiosity got the better of me to see the hidden post.

Also updated my post where the rumor was debunked.

Ok, maybe you will explain to me how it is a timed exclusive when it will just go into the PS system?

Ok. Maybe we should agree on the definition of an exclusive. To me, it's what is available to a particular brand. As in, either Sony, MS, Nintendo or others.

Making a game available later on, to previous gens, of your own brand, is not affecting such exclusivity.

Lets put it in perspective - MS originally promised every game would be available to play on the past gens. Where was the cry about timed exclusives then?
