LOVE the NVMe slot. Great idea. And I like the design too. But for the first time since the psone I might not get it on launch. My PC has similar specs and the games they revealed did nothing for me. Then again, Spiderman!

Doesn’t look like that at all?! PS5 is more “kitsch”, you know? But this gives me an great idea, gonna ask Xbox Pope to make a Borg Cube XSX design!!!!???

Ehhh still not quite there where a PC tower is. Unless we compare it to the alienware builds.
Pieter Kruger

PS5 is touching the 0.5m height it seems like, making any PC tower look like a power brick or something?….good luck to anyone trying to go out and buy that without a code 10 drivers license…

It may not be the prettiest console but at least it doesn’t look like a Doos

At least it will fit on a TV unit…??

That is the worlds most powerful gaming console come next gen, more power, smaller and same price or cheaper maybe? Gonna be an awesome generation!?

Looks like a Jedi Stormtrooper, I dig it. Hope I don’t have to keep it vertical though

Someone mentioned that it looks like a wifi router. Now I can’t unsee it.

Going to be honest, I’m not overly impressed with the design of the console. But it is mainly to do with the pointy bits at the top. Also, will we not be able to lay it flat, as I dont really have the vertical space to put it. But the games look great (especially spiderman)
Not that I’m planning on getting it within the first year even. Die prys gaan ons laat hoes XD

I like it, kinda looks like it has a subtle throwback to the PS3 a bit. Those controllers are still dope

It’s more attractive than the Xbox, that’s for sure, but I am still committed to getting MS’s console first before I get the PS5. I’ll most probably land up with both by the end of the generation.

I think gamepass is a very good value proposition for Xbox. I’ll only get the PS5 later on when the slim version comes out.

Much better then the Dev kit, now we only need pricing info to start saving.

You can lay it flat. I had the same concern, but they actually showed off pics of it laying down horizontally. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0d5dccde33975a311341b0f72ea24bdace3401df049a4cab2aa3c0968c335507.jpg

Does it look like it’s got a mat finish or gloss. The black looks gloss. I’m not sure about the white parts. Unless they make the console from hard plastic that doesn’t scratch easy, I’ve never been a fan of gloss finishes!
HairyEwok
June 12, 2020 at 08:38
I would say the black is semi-gloss, almost like a brushed metal look with the white being totally matte.

Just as well…those vents are properly exposed to dust when standing up I’d think.

This looks a little bit better. But I like the xbox design more tbh. Can’t complain about the games though, they pretty much all look like a lot of fun, which in the end is what it is all about. Especially Spiderman
