At £450 I think I'll give it a miss. You are basically paying for the worse version of the console (slimmer, more reliable ones will be out within 2-3 years), plus with very few decent games at launch. Me and the kids only picked up a Playstation 4 last Christmas, and there are still loads of really good/cheap games to be found. Other thing that puts me off the new consoles, is the graphics haven't really jumped that far, feel like we are at a bit of a brick wall with gaming (graphics wise).
Also got a baby on the way, so spending £450 on a console would piss the mrs off
Yeah I think so, I know they have 4K Blu Ray players, so I reckon some of the games will run in 4K, especially the bigger titles.
Funnily enough we got a VR set at Christmas, and I recently set it up again when my nephew came to visit, forgot how good it is, especially for horror games.
Im interested but at that price. No.
Maybe when it comes down abit I will consider it, don't play games enough to justify it. Graphics and the games I've seen so far do look sick though.

I reckon I'll bite around the £250 mark, which admittedly could be YEARS away. But it's ok, I like retro gaming, so I'm used to sticking with the older games.
I grew up in the Super Nintendo/Sega Megadrive era, that was the norm back then, and that was the frigging 90's. But back then getting a new game was a real rare treat, it's not like today where you could just walk into CEX, and pick up games for £3 a pop. Kids have got it easy today
Nope, never really look at the latest consoles. Always wait a few years till price is much cheaper
plus I'm too far behind all my mates who have played Xbox/PlayStation their whole life..to where everyone's too competitive on cod/fifa for me to enjoy playing...and no way I'm playing fortnight lol

Once it comes out my mates giving me his xbox one for free, I'll just make do with that, and then I'll take his next gen console when he's done with that in 10 years
That's pretty much how it works with me and my old man. He's not much of a gamer, but I let him have my N64 with Zelda, and ever since he'll get a console, just to play the latest Zelda...or maybe the odd Moto GP game, but that's it.
Rest assured that it won't be. It will have AMD RDNA 2 GPU which is inferior to Nvidia's RTX 30-series and that's just this year. Next year I bet Nvidia is gonna pump some steroids into their lineup and leave PS5 in dust even further.
Consoles are poor man's gaming. Their prices are subsidized, but then they get their money and then some from selling games. Vendor lock-in, folks, avoid it whenever you can.
FIFA is pretty much the only game I'm interested in these days and it's hard to justify a top of the range console for a footy game, when in reality the differences in quality will be negligible for that.
Getting an Xbox after two decades of playstations. The games pass is a clear winner, even more so now that I have a gaming PC. I won't be getting one this year though, there are always issues on initial release.
I've always been PlayStation aswell, but This games pass seems a massive advantage to Xbox and surely PlayStation will have to consider something similar or will lose custom?
I'm not really familiar with xbox or the games pass though.. I read it's 100+ games for £10 month, but are these the big names/decent games? And will the new games You want to play be included? I mean if it's £120 a year and a new game is £60-70 to buy then it's obviously a Massive money saver.
yeh I've ordered the ps5 - its gonna be awesome. I also have a 4k TV to support. might have some issues on start up but thats fine, ill just offload the ps5 when the 'updated' version comes a year later or whatever, in saying that I expect most of the bugs to be worked out.
Personally prefer a console for gaming, and my computer for work. Not a big fan of PC gaming. I do like the xbox gamings pass in fairness! wish PS would do something. I went for the disk version so I can sell on the games I complete and don't play again.
