Sony Brehs, Enlighten me on the PS5

[The Intergalactic Koala]

So the young Joey and I had a bit of a pow wow with the mother marsupial on copping a console and our eyes went to the PS5. As a former Sony breh whose been in the dark since the PS3, I'm coming into this affair with a smooth brain, open mind, and curiousity.

So this is where yall come in:

• Disc or Discless?
• Backward compatibility? (Will my old PS3 digital library hold it down on the PS5)
• Which version of Plus would give the best value?
• Which exclusives I should check out (My eye on Gran Turismo 7, but like I said, I'm in the dark and PC gang).
• Maintenance ideas

Will be in them trees for the replies..............................................................

I have been scoping the digital version as well . Is the Sony sales hitting or they still on some bullshyt? I remember laughing at the store deals when the PS4 was thriving.

 

[beenz]

grab the digital version if u can find it. it's $100 cheaper. no one even uses the optical drive.

Give yourself options by getting the disc...I have it and still download digital games
Don't think PS3 games play on it but I'm about to replay RDR2 on the 5 later after wrapping up Sifu
I have Plus Premium...can't complain about it but def look for deals to extend it if you can
GOW Ragnarok, Spiderman 1 & Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted Series, Ghost of Tsushima
Keep it vertical and in areas where air can flow easily...went to clean it last week or so and shyt had no signs of dust anywhere

No

Disc or digital is just personal preference unless you want to watch blu-ray movies

Only way PS3 games are playable is through the streaming option with playstation plus premium tier. The extra tier is a good value more available games other than your monthly games

Exclusives depend on what games you’re interested in

Disc or Discless?
Depends on how price conscience you are. If you are someone that still collects or you want to save a few bucks buying and selling games disc is obviously the way to go. But if you are mostly digital on pc it won’t really seem that different, theres a shyt ton of sales going on all the time, and the summer sale is going on right now with 100’s of games on there. Not to mention PS Plus is poppin for someone that skipped the ps4, almost every big game is on there.

Summer Sale:

Official PlayStation™Store US

Backward compatibility? (Will my old PS3 digital library hold it down on the PS5)
No. backwards compatibility is ps4 only, but there is cloud streaming for ps3,ps2, ps1, and psp games. You can also download the latter 3 when they’re available
Which version of Plus would give the best value?
If you don’t care about game trials and cloud gaming (which again includes all the above) then extra is your best bet. You can find the annual membership on sale for 75 dollars a couple times a year. It has mostly everything you would want to play it on it.

Maintenance ideas
Just keep it in a non-enclosed area, maybe every 6 months just remove the lid and give it a quick dusting. Get a 2tb SSD, they can be had for around 100 bucks, an extra dualsense and a docking station.

BBG 1 TB is plenty


Im old enough to remember memory cards from back in the day. I'll be damned if I spend more than 20 bucks on memory. At the end of the day that's all it is, but because of technological advancements we now save the whole game instead of just states. I got a gig download speed, I'd rather just redownload my shyts than to fork more money over to these companies for memory.
