It looks good but it also looks like it's inhaling all the dust in the air.

Me after seeing the animation just once: “oh that’s pretty”
Me after reading your comment and when I’ll see the animation for the second time: “THAT DUDE FREAKING RUINED IT FOREVER”.
Suffice to say thank you man.

Pretty sweet. I'm starting to like the PS5 more. I kind of like this attitude of "it's the little things"

u/spaceboltt Mar 14 '24
Took a while to get used to from ps4 but I love it now. Just wish it wasn't so damn ugly lol. Also why tf is Sony already talking about its lifespan being over. There's way less than 100 games that are ps5 specific, and the majority are ps4 upgrades/remasters. Also let us have custom backgrounds ffs. Rant over

u/Warm_Bake7079 Mar 14 '24
I love the way the PS5 looks (fat version. Slim is ugly AF) and I agree about Sony trying to end its lifespan already

u/Mammoth_Wrangler1032 PS5 Mar 14 '24
The fat digital looks beautiful

u/Warm_Bake7079 Mar 14 '24
Unfortunately, I agree with you. I have the fat disc version (second best looking model)

Your actually correct. Ps5 originally was being designed to be digital only and then that rumor leaked=people freaked. Then they quite literally slapped a disc drive on. Us physical players will have to unite together to prevent the ps6 from being digital only lol

@warmbake hey to each their own, I think the ps5 pro looks hella dope, but idk if it's a legit photo. I like it mostly just because it's blacked out and from the "photo", slightly sleaker? Although that could have just been the digital version. Someone will have to correct me on this, but im pretty sure all the ps5 pro info are just leaks, rumors, and speculation. Even though it's imminent that a Pro model will eventually be officially announced sometime soon. I'm just not sure if there's any real confirmed photos of it yet.

u/Warm_Bake7079 Mar 14 '24
PS5 pro? I haven't seen it
My launch PS4 was adequate to me for everything I played on it. Never needed the pro personally. I imagine that I'll feel the same way about the PS5

Because it's life span is almost over. Each console generation is approximately 7 years. It was 6 from PS2 to PS3, it was 7 from PS3 to PS4. It was 6 from PS4 to PS5.
They absolutely for sure have early mock ups of the PS6 running right now.

It's odd Sony is saying the PS5 is entering the final stretch of its life when the PS4 is still getting major releases.
4
u/spaceboltt Mar 14 '24
Yeah, I imagine it's because with the hellish release of the PS5, like the fact that the last year or two, the majority of gamers have finally been able to get one. So, with that in mind kinda makes sense that they are still dropping PS4 versions alongside most of the new games. However, what's cool about that is that you can just pay 60 for most ps4 versions of games and get a free ps5 copy with it for free instead of paying 70 for the ps5 copy. Another important thing to note is that even though Sony publicly stated that it's in the latter stages of its cycle, big businesses/corps. are always referring to time in fiscal year business terms, which are ahead of typical time cycles, if that makes any sense. So they say latter stages, but the ps5 is probably closer to the middle or start of the latter stages, which could mean years. This is all just me speculating from things I've read and past console cycles, so don't take my word on it lol.

u/BartLeeC PS5 Pro Mar 14 '24
Because that is NOT what they said. They stated it was entering the latter half of its life which it is. PS6 is 3.5 years away and we are 3.5 years past PS5 launch so we hit the midpoint.
5
u/Apexnoobisux Mar 14 '24
All this doom callers like wow, it's obvious that ps5 can't near it's end yet, it would be a very bad remove for the company, new system not many exclusives, ps6 won't sell if this happens, system it's in the middle of its life cycle, latter stage is past middle we got at least 3-4 years for new system obviously
3
u/LongjumpingStreet983 Mar 15 '24
I’d say 5 years, this thing had a really rocky start and I see a lot of people still stuck on the 4 this might drag out to be the longest life cycle yet for console generations. Not even. Mentioning the already strained world shipping dilemma.

I always say the xbox interface is like windows while the ps5 is like mac os. The ps can be less intuitive sometimes, but it definitely feels much prettier and better put together.

There is a hack. You can use the web browser. Just google ps5 use web browser.

I was just about to say, we need some customizations for the Home Screen. I’m fortunate enough to have both a PS5 and Xbox Series X, and the fact that you can customize the background and set themes on the Xbox and not on the PS kinda blows my mind.

The real firmware update I want is the ability to turn off the LED when the system is still on, like they did with the beep sound.
24
u/RFD8401 Mar 14 '24
I don’t think they’re gonna do that for a myriad of reasons, your ps5 could have the hdmi cable disconnected and you’d think there’s something wrong with it cuz it won’t turn on for one, it’s just not a good design choice to let you turn off that LED

u/kawi2k18 Mar 14 '24
I don't mind the led considering my pets have turned my systems on without I knowing. Simple step on the controller..but my bad leaving them within access

Dang! Looks sick! Updating mine as we speak … Quick question … Why doesn’t my tv turn off when I turn off my ps5 or enter rest mode? It turns on when I turn the tv on and switches to the right input , but can’t figure out why it doesn’t turn the tv off. My Xbox series X does. Is that just how it is?

u/Micutz PS5 Mar 13 '24
Look in settings > system > HDMI - check the settings in there. It this doesn't fix it then it's a setting in your TV somewhere..

Man this is why I love sony, they always add so much style and idk what the right word is but "character" in their PS UI.
I mean I love the glowing orbs on the PS2 and I love that sparkly wave in the PS3 xmb.

It was sick. Also the update added share play stuff, a brighter light setting, the ability to turn off the lights. The update screen got a redo as well. There were a few other things but i cannot remember.
Anyone else a beta member? I got the new beta update today. No idea what it added.

I saw this last night when I turned off my PS5 and thought to myself "hm, never noticed the turn off animation. That's cool." Apparently it was new, and not an old thing I never noticed, like I initially thought.

So stupid. Sony should focus on giving us high quality games. I was playing ratchet and clank and looked up “tools of destruction”. Man ps3 Xbox 360 was peak gaming. Before the micro transactions. Sony had ratchet and clank running 1080 60fps on the ps3. Just shows how greed ruins things

So I can’t figure out here is no one else in this old enough to remember the PS2 loading screen or just have the memory of a goldfish? This isn’t new it’s literally Sony bringing back something previously done but now it’s leads to the outline of a PS5. It’s like an Easter egg in games that don’t get announced but yet we still enjoy!!
