PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X Coming Holiday 2020

Not at bloody all I'd assume, but given that GamePass is presumably doing gangbusters regardless I'm guessing that's not most people's primary concern. Still, there's no denying that digital-only consoles are not going to be great for the noble art of games preservation. As for streaming-only consoles...

...hey, remember Stadia?

Specs better for Series S then rumoured, so can see it being around for awhile plus seems with All Access Microsoft have the here's the Series XY etc planned much like phones that they can keep up with tech

That do think that got to think Xbox now sort like Netflix x iOS.

The rumoured price on storage is £180 for 1TB

"A while" isn't enough! I want cold hard numbers!

I don't know 3 years maybe longer but stuff looks like mud

Absolute zero? Numbers don't get much colder or harder than that!

Neither of your answers are very helpful. Reported.

Fun fact: of the seven reports we've received, one was a test, one was about somebody defaming me, and five were complaining about my poor conduct.

Make that six out of nine now?

Can we just report whenever we want? I'm going to report you for encouraging smoking with your avatar. Very bad influence on the kids.

Dam didn't know we had any reports, I know you won't name name's but guessing not from the core group

Also rumors but seem fake but of a Xbox Series V which is a All Digital Series X and what Codename Edinburg has become. The main guy behind Windows Central believes Edinburg is real because Anaconda/Series X and Lockhart/Series S have been but can't confirm what Edinburg is, he believed XCloud stick thing but who knows.

I've got to admit, Xbox is looking more and more appealing to me. I'm considering the Series S at £300 as I'm wanting to revisit a lot of older 360 titles I loved alongside having a machine to access the newer stuff on Gamepass. Having said that, I could easily convince myself to go for the Series X to future-proof myself in a way with a more powerful machine. They've put together a really solid proposition with Gamepass and their price points are bang on. Sony needs to pull a blinder to convince me to pick up a PS5 at this stage.

Not even £300, it's £250 that give you £50 for Assassin's Creed Valhalla or something of XBL being All Digital.

Going by the common denominator here, all reports suggest that you are a monster.

Defamation! Reported.

"And soon you will learn not to report each other at all!"

With Microsoft announcing new hardware, impressive technical specifications, an aggressive price point and a massively generous subscription service  and Nintendo announcing S.C.A.T. for NES Online, all eyes are on the PlayStation 5 Showcase tonight to see how they'll compete this Christmas and beyond. 

Any hopes? Any expectations? Any fears? Any body?

Zero hopes. I think we're dealing with arrogant Sony so I'd be surprised if the console was sub £500 and I'd be surprised if we learnt of anything justifying it over an Xbox - I'll of course still be picking it up because I can't resist...

Lots of rumours on prices for PS5 and maybe some big 3rd party exclusives to turn up like Final Fantasy XVI

Been talking to EofGiz with him and Craig being like the angel and devil on my shoulders at the moment in regard to the Xboxes

EofGiz is being sensible and going you've got a One X and what's announced for Xbox? About two games that are only on Series within the next few months you can wait for those Mas along with a Halo Edition Console or a bundle of some sort

Where Craig is like look how shiny Tetris Effect, Gears Tactics will be on Series X, you know you want to play The Medium go on get a Series X at launch you know you want to

Where on PS5 we have a rough idea of PS5 only games over the next few months, why always going to get a PS5 as the games coming (why Sony also will be arrogant because they can go look at how good our games are) to PS5 justify getting one of them over an Xbox in my opinion (If you missed Xbox this gen then that's a different scenario), as I can afford both next gen systems it's do I listen to EofGiz or Craig really on Xbox

Whatever it is, Sony will need to do something special to even get a wiggle down there from me.

The new NVIDIA graphics cards seem to be the tits and you can get the high tier one for £650 - obviously more than most consoles, but great if you also use your machine for other things. They also have a lot of options on the cheaper side.

If I want a living room console at this point it's got to be one of Microsoft's.

Just seen reviews for the 3080 and seems very impressive (dread to think how well the 3090 will perform) that it's another option this holiday season, and you bring up MS where you can play all Xbox Game Studios games & sub to Game Pass PC that's another great thing with Xbox being more of I don't want say service, just along those lines.

I think they had a good showing in the end and the price is as reasonable as I'd expect it to be, the combo of "coming 2021" for most things and Miles Morales being on PS4 as well means I won't be rushing out to buy one however.

I'm glad they're basically giving PS Plus owners access to a load of PS4 games, that's something to help them in the fight against Game Pass although it's not gonna sell the system for me. The games revealed were good but again mostly way off, the Harry Potter game looked great but sadly Rowling's gonna Rowl so no thanks.

Yeah a good showing which start well with Final Fantasy XVI then got a tad boring but get showing Fortnite as it's huge

Some of the news coming out after via blog posts, tweets etc seemed odd along with Sony talking about new gen new games then having three cross gen games that it does make them look silly

Yet hey if insiders are right though and dates for likes of God of War Ragnarok stick, then getting Horizon and God of War along with other exclusives in first year sort applying Switch strategy will shift consoles

I was all set to lock in getting a digital ps5 with Demon's Souls (which looks absolutely top notch) but then the pricing for games started to come in at around the 70 - 80 quid mark which instantly changed my mind. So, with only the one game really interesting me I think I can probably wait on getting a ps5 for about 6 months to a year.

I went and placed a pre-order in GAME today, figured I can trade the Pro & the X1 in towards it as I have literally no reason to keep them.

I think I'm going to play the waiting game as well. There's nothing at launch on either machine that's a system seller and I've still plenty to play from the current generation of machines. There's games that definitely look ace on PS5 - Ratchet, FFXVI, Demon's Souls - but I'd only really want to play FFXVI as soon as it drops. Xbox have a stonkingly good proposition with the price of the Series S and with Game Pass, but I've no lack of games to play.

Maybe I'll get one at Black Friday next year or something. I'm actually leaning towards Xbox as £70 for new games is disgustingly high and Game Pass would circumvent that problem for the most part.

My plan was to wait until the PS5 came out and then buy a PS4.

Recent events have made me consider accelerating my ability to play Monster Hunter World.
