Playstation I'm going to be 100% real with all the Playstation users

Your blackout won't do shit to Sony. They don't care. You're trying to play Blackjack while the deck is rigged. You really want to win? Don't play. When the PS6 comes out. Don't buy it. That's what will get them to start paying attention

Sticking with my current console or upgrading for GTA 6

0 Upvotes

I currently own a launch-model PS5, which I played heavily for about three years before building my PC. Before switching to PlayStation, I originally played mostly on Xbox One, so I am familiar with both console ecosystems.

Now that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming out without a PC version available at launch, I am trying to decide which console would give me the best overall experience. I am considering keeping my current PS5, upgrading to a PS5 Pro, or moving to an Xbox Series X. My main priority is choosing the system that will run GTA 6 the best in terms of graphics, performance, image quality, frame rate stability, and overall features. I also want to consider whether upgrading would be worth the cost compared with simply continuing to use my launch PS5.

Help needed What's the chances of ps5 going on sale for black Friday this year?

0 Upvotes

I managed to get Currys to price match a very listing error giving me £40 off a digital ps5 to last years base price at £479 instead of £519. I have doubts about consoles going on a sale this year because black Friday is a week before GTA 6 releases.

I don't wanna buy for £479 now and then regret it it's like £350 for black Friday. I know last year I seen deals in the region off £289 with FIFA included but with the release of GTA 6 and the rising costs of storage and ram will it happen again this time around?

I have a gaming pc with a 9070xt but I've made the decision I won't wanna wait for GTA 6 and also I can get more value out of the console by playing wolverine and some eSports titles that I won't play in pc because of their shitty launchers

Playstation Why the PS5 Pro hype for GTA VI proves marketing works too well

Upvotes

Having read various comments and posts, I realize that simply having "Pro" in a console's name is enough to do all the marketing.
People want the best for GTA VI, so they immediately think of the PS5 Pro.
Except that in reality, it's not that simple for a huge price difference.

Anyway, I don't like marketing, and that's why Sony has the power to do whatever they want with gamers because they'll just keep buying.

Wait for GTA VI launch to buy a PS5?

0 Upvotes

So I just got a fat cheque from my job and have some spare money to spulge on either a new or old console. I don't want to make the mistake of buying a console on an impluse decision. Went through some of the posts on this subreddit and it seems like the GTA VI hype has jacked up used console prices. I'm not in a rush to buy or play GTA VI. This would be my first PS (I have gamed on PC for the longest time) so there are a lot of exclusives I haven't played or games I have played on subpar quality that I'd like to play in 4k before going to GTA VI. My concern is -

1) are the current high prices (40-55k) for a used console here to stay even after the GTA VI hype?

2) or is this a good market to buy as Sony has delayed PS6 release and the memory shortage might get worse and worse.

What do tech enthusiast and gamers think? Right time to buy or wait some more?

Help needed Time to make the change? Or get the most out of my current console?

So I’ve had a Series X basically since launch and it’s been my go-to gaming machine for the last handful of years. I’ve also bought *a lot* of digital games over the years across previous Xbox consoles, so I’ve built up a bit of an ecosystem that I’m honestly pretty nervous about leaving behind.

I actually do prefer Sony’s exclusives, though. I grew up with a PS2 so Sony has always been pretty close to my heart, and I borrowed a friend’s PS5 for a while to catch up on some of the exclusives I’d missed. I really enjoyed it.

But for the last decade or so I’ve basically been an Xbox guy for a variety of reasons, friends being a big one. Most of those friends have moved on now though, so I’m thinking my next console will probably be a migration back to Sony.

I’d probably hang onto my Series X as a sort of “legacy machine” anyway, so I’d still have access to all the years of Xbox purchases. It would just mean starting a new ecosystem with PlayStation going forward.

My dilemma is GTA 6. Yes, I know, another fucking GTA 6 post lol.

One thing I will say is that I haven’t really been able to fully utilise the Series X because my current TV is only 60Hz. It’s OLED and HDR so it still looks great, but obviously it could be better.

So if I’m eventually considering migrating back to Sony anyway, would it be worth doing that *now* with a PS5 Pro, along with upgrading my TV, and then getting GTA 6 on the Pro?

It’ll probably be a year or so before I can actually do all of this, so I’m not in a rush.

OR would I be just as well off upgrading my TV to a good 120Hz set, getting the full benefit out of the Series X, and just playing GTA 6 on that?

Basically, how much of a difference is the PS5 Pro version realistically going to make? Is it likely to be enough of an upgrade over Series X to justify buying a Pro and starting the whole PlayStation ecosystem, or would I be better off waiting and seeing what happens later?

I’m also wondering whether the Sony migration can just wait until the next generation rather than using GTA 6 as the excuse to jump ship now.

Honestly, borrowing a PS5 every now and then to stay on top of the Sony exclusives while using Xbox for everything else has actually been a pretty good setup for me for the last several years….lol

But things are changing, so maybe it’s finally time to return to the Sony fold lol.

I’m not a PC gamer at all, BTW, so that’s not really part of the equation. Please don’t bother suggesting to get one instead either, as for a multitude of reasons that’s just neither an option or even an interest in my personal life arm.

What would you do? Upgrade the TV and stick with Series X for GTA 6, or take the opportunity to jump to PS5 Pro?

PlayStation o Xbox per neofita?

Ciao a tutti!! Devo fare una grande premessa: ho 27 anni, il mondo dei videogiochi mi ha sempre attratto ma purtroppo sono cresciuta in un contesto dove essere femmine e amare i videogiochi era visto come un affronto alla mia dignità femminile 🥲😂. Con gli anni ho lasciato stare pensando che fosse solo un interesse passeggero. Spoiler: non lo era.

Ho giocato per caso qualche anno fa a casa del mio ragazzo e mi sono resa conto di aver completamente accantonato una passione solo perché mal vista dalla mia famiglia. Lui mi ha supportata, ci siamo comprati Hogwarts Legacy con la sua Xbox e me lo sono divorata (la usa di più suo fratello, è insolito ma piace molto di più a me)

Vorrei almeno provare ad avvicinarmi a questo mondo ma senza spendere cifre esorbitanti e andrei sicuramente sull’usato! Che console consigliereste?
