Only thing I have to add is that if they insist on forcing an unnecessary “Pro” console on the gaming public, at least make it look cool.

Yeah, the stand is such a petty, money-grubbing thing. It’d be such a relatively trivial thing to just design the stupid thing to be able to stand vertically instead of creating a piece of plastic waste.

I appreciate the new cheese-grater strip.

I miss slim versions of consoles. I’ve mostly been waiting for them to make a cheaper version of the Playstation 5 that actually fits inside our TV-furniture, and has the fucking disc drive, but now I understand that is never going to happen. The base Playstation 5 is probably going to be the last console that releases with a built-in disc drive, and that’s concerning to me. I like being able to sell my games and buy cheap ones second hand.

It really made me think of one of those bendy straws with the crinkly bit.

The funny thing is they did release a PS5 Slim with a disc drive, but who can remember since it’s exactly as expensive as the original PS5 and is nearly the same size :(

Kiki knows about it, but yes, it’s still too big for our TV furniture. It’s absolutely bonkers. I wouldn’t even call it a slim model. It’s kind of silly.

imo if you already own a powerful PC you keep at your desk getting a console (that already has jailbreaks available and will have more in the future) for the living room still makes sense, but less so at that price for such a silly looking thing that doesn’t fit anywhere.

I don’t see how the new Playstation 5 is any more professional than the original one. If they really wanted to reach the target audience of yuppies they would have a salesforce license as a pack-in.
