      Let's be honest, PlayStation stopped being valuable whenever backwards compatibility stopped extending. You mean to tell me you can put all of this state of the art technology in it but I can't play PlayStation 1 games? I could understand if there was some type of preservation plan but they're not even preserving games we're losing them! Like imagine if you couldn't message people on iPhones just because you had a two generation gap. That's asinine.

      My flatmate bought a PS4 off a friends kid for $100. When he tried to go online, a message appeared saying PS was banned from online use. Found out the kid stole his Nan's credit card, used it online and got busted for fraud. So they banned his PS. No way of overturning ban even though my flatmate did nothing wrong. Stupid thing is the friends kid just got another PS and then went back online to cheat and commit more fraud. Only one punished was an innocent 3rd party who just wanted to play games online. NEVER buy a second ha d PS without checking it online first....it may be just a brick

Also the only way steam will outright ban an account is if you try to rip them off financially; anything else will just get you banned from playing a specific game or get you banned from posting on a specific game's forum depending on what you did.

      I guess that's the case if you haven't already abandoned physical games, but a lot of us, like myself, bought the digital PS5 and abandoned physical games a long time ago. Fight it as long as you want, but you won't have the option to ignore digital only much longer.

    As a hardware admin, red flags went off when i heard Zen2
    Why is that a problem?
    2 things
    1: Zen2 APUs, including the PS5 have 1/4 the cache per core of Zen2 CPUs.
    2:Zen2 has 2 CCX of 4 cores for 4+4 cores with 4+4MB of cache. Zen3 and later use a single CCX for a unified 8 cores(and a unified 16MB of cache double that of Zen2, with up to 4x the usable cache at any given time to a single core)
    Why is this important?
    If the PS5 doesnt jump up to 24GB of RAM on a 384 bit bus, much of the bandwidth of that GDDR6 is going to be sucked up by the CPU because of how much more often it needs to go to RAM instead of cache.
    Yes adding cache makes the die larger, consume more energy, and be more expensive.
    Do you know what else cache does? Reduces total system power draw because the RAM needs to be used less, going to RAM is something like 4 orders of magnitude more energy required than staying within cache, and yes this includes on-package RAM like Lunar Lake(though probably just 2 orders of magnitude)
    When the CPU needs to go to RAM, that RAM becomes unavailable to the GPU. This would probably be fine if it still had 40(36 usable) compute units, but its apparently going up to 60 compute units, thats the same as the RX 6800, and do you know what the RX 6800 has? A 256 bit bus dedicaded to the GPU instead of a 256 bit bus shared between CPU and GPU.
    The CPU doesnt really need the bandwidth the GPU needs, however, when the CPU takes up clock cycles, its robbing that bandwidth no matter what.

      It’s not often I want to play a ten year old game. In the rare event that happens, I’ll just rebuy it (on a new platform), jailbreak an old console, or emulate it.
      That tiny benefit simply doesn’t outweigh the hassle of dealing with physical games. It’s more clutter, you can easily misplace them, you have to dust them, …

      Since every mofo and their own mother decided to use the Unreal Engine 5 as their game engine. Video gaming has taken a massive step backwards. It was already a bad situation with the overuse of the UE4. But now, every game literally looks the same.
      The Art in Arstyle is lost for this generation. And probably the next as well.
      In the past, Artists had to make levels look good. Hand place light sources etc. And games actually looked and felt better that way. Now its only, activate Raytracing, even if we don't even use moving light-sources or day night cycle. Just waste performance on fully rendered dynamic lights in completely stale stagnant static environments.... game development has become so stupid.
      Metal Gear 2 Tanker level has "fake" reflections. Nothing was ray traced, but cleverly designed. And it blew everyone away. Or Quake 2, the Raytraced version shows, Raytracing is not the answer if you have good designers. But all the good people getting fazed out of the industry. And in a few years, there will only be, press A.I. Generate Button to create game.... then every game will be like Bugthesdas Clownfield. Complete and utter worthless slop.

You are paying the tax with your purchase so you know AHEAD OF TIME if you can afford it!

    Lately, I've seen that myth that a game disc is just a license key resurfacing, especially with the recent discussions around the lack of a disc drive on the PS5 Pro. I think people believe this because, on the PS5 (I can't speak for Switch or Xbox since I don’t own them), when you insert a disc, you get a notification that says something like "[Game Name] added to Downloads/Uploads." It gives the impression that the game is being downloaded from the internet, but that's not actually the case.
    If you disconnect from the internet and insert the disc again, you'll see the same notification pop up, even though the PS5 is offline. Obviously, it can't be downloading anything without an internet connection. What’s really happening is the game is being installed from the disc, not downloaded. The data is on the disc itself.
    I can confirm this from personal experience. When I visited family last month who dont have reliable internet, I brought my PS5 and bought some games while I was there, specifically Stellar Blade, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Elden Ring. I installed and played them completely offline. Elden Ring even had version 1.10 on the disc, which shows it must have been a reprint.
    So people, please stop spreading the idea that discs are just coasters. Misinformation like this is damaging to gaming as a whole.

      I don't have WiFi in my apartment, I just use mobile data on my phone to watch RUclips and stuff like that. I bought a disc copy of Halo Infinite back in November, I found it weird that it was only a 13gb install but I waited anyway. Booted it up, and it's just the main menu. I couldn't get past the "Press start to continue" prompt, I was told I have to download the game, which I couldn't.

It’s frustrating, and I suspect it will only get worse over time as discs become more obsolete. However, I don’t think we’re quite at that point yet, despite what some people claim. I believe companies that still release physical copies of games without needing major updates or downloads deserve more recognition.
      For example, while I’m not a big fan of the Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West games, I was impressed with the recent Complete Edition. It came on two discs, including all the DLC and patches pre-installed. That’s something I appreciated, so I bought a copy.

      Sony has started to release games on steam. Sony is trying to target pc gamers with this price point. The problem being. Pc is way more powerful at the same price point. If ps5 pro can play god of war ragnarok at 60 fps then pc can play it at double of 120 fps within the same budget. I seriously am questioning how did they think we pc players will switch to a console from pc. Infact steam has a big picture mode for console experience. Did Sony not do their homework ?

      ​@@svenmifyFor that I'd recommend getting a mini PC like the SER7 which is very good value and is basically a tiny console even. It's as powerful as a Rog Ally, and has more ram too (32GB). If you feel that it's still too weak, you can get an egpu for it. The Ser7 is like $400, egpu depends, but the Rog ally x can pretty much play PS5 games at decent quality anyways so this is more than that with all that extra ram/Vram (it's shared). I'd say it's more worth it than a PS5 Pro, and a PS5 in the long run imo

    Would love to get into PC gaming at this point but console gaming feels way more practical for me. Plus if I'm getting into the PC market I want something that can run everything at max/ultra. Sony are acting like apple which makes me want to jump ship. Personally I hate people that bring up the "But you pay to play online" acting like I can't afford £60 on PSN for the year, that's never been an issue for me. But I feel PC gaming (although it's clearly the best place to play games) isn't easy to get into, there's just so many options and I never know where to start. At the end of the day I just want to come home, boot up and play a game.

      PC is like colour coded lego. You actually cant really screw up unless you intentionally break something. And if its a pre built PC then its the same as a console, just plug it in...
