Sony Playstation 5 - Set to release in November

[Targaryen]

Thread title says it all. Sony organized a showcase event couple of days ago, to announce some key aspects regarding PS5 and it's release.

We also got to know PS5 Exclusive games and prices for both the Consoles (Physical+Digital). Release date is second week of November.

I'm really excited for the launch, but not going to buy it. Only reason is because I'm not a hardcore gamer and secondly I'm having budget issues after getting a OnePlus Nord last month . I'll be getting PS4 instead, that is still a best buy in terms of price and also works for next couple of years atleast.

How excited are you? For a fact I know @CerealKiller is getting PS5 on the day of launch.

Getting the normal edition on day 1, hopefully.

I'll definitely get one, but I reckon I'll wait a bit, I've still got too many games to finish on my PS4 and not enough time to finish them

Am pretty excited for the launch, even though I don't use Gaming Consoles

Since I got my PC (3 1/2 years ago) I've not played a game on my PS4. It's basically become a Netflix/Prime/Sky box. So, I can't see me getting one.

I am excited about the game Death Loop that is receiving some hype with the launch. It's from the developers of Dishonored and Prey which are games I love.

The most interesting thing from the new generation so far is, for me, the Xbox pass or whatever it is. Probably more likely to get that, to play games on PC, instead of a new console.

Microsoft have raised the stakes buying Zenimax which owns Bethesda.

Could have major implications on the availability of some major franchises like Fallout, Doom etc.

This is absolutely stunning and a huge deal! Not having the next Elder Scrolls on PlayStation and instead as a MS exclusive is a massive win for their console.

The pre-orders for the PS5 were gone in minutes. Hoping there isn't a massive queue on Day 1, and they have enough consoles.

Good luck!

PlayStation 5 is going to cost a fortune here in Pakistan (Rs. 90k+), due to extreme taxes, lack of official Sony retail sellers here, and obviously the high currency exchange rate of USD.

I'll probably wait for a year or so hoping for a more affordable deal as I'll need to get a 4k monitor too.

By the way, I'm not sure whether I should and would buy it even, given that I use my current PS4 once in a blue moon.

I suggest you get it only if you play regularly
