Scarecrow17 12/30/20 3:53:30 PM #1:	Its a good console. The controller feels really nice and the U.I. is straightforward. The console itself is quite large. I dont have enough room to place it on the same shelf along with the rest of my PlayStation consoles which is a bummer. I really dont like the storage for the PS5. Its not a lot and with many games being huge downloads nowadays, itll be used up quite fast unless Im constantly deleting games. Right now, I have Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath, and Demons Souls. Just playing Miles Morales for now and its really short. Ive spent about 4-5 hours on the game and I think Im close to being finished. Glad I only paid $30 for this game. With PS5 games being $70 now, Im going to start being really selective of what games I buy for this console. <cite>Scarecrow17 posted [p:948924237] in My PS5 arr...

BroodRyu 12/30/20 4:19:25 PM #5:	I think the focus on consoles now will have to be storage capacity.

Yes, but its game specific. Sekiro, for example, will run at 60 FPS. I dont think Prey will because the devs have to update the game in order for it to run at 60 FPS on PS5.

Naysaspace 12/31/20 2:04:34 PM #16:	The storage of the final release vs the launch release of ps3 went from 20 or 60 GB to 500 GB. PS4 never increased, 500gb / 1 tb was always the standard. There were a few 2 tb SE's. At this point it's just cheaper to have the customer buy more storage if they desire. What sucks is you have to buy a very expensive proprietary drive instead of a plain old drive. I'm sure they'd love to ship them with 5TB drives, but that'd add a hundred to the cost, at least. <cite>Naysaspace posted [p:948957576] in My PS5 arr...
