i always buy PC and Playstation Physical Media , Not a big Fan of downloading everything to a Console just yet
Really looking forward to it. They've got one Hell of an announced lineup already.
another potential benefit of waiting for a 2021 black friday will be lower NVMe prices too. I'm so looking forward to it.

You will not wait much. 7-8 or so years.
PS4 is still around $300 from an initial price of $399.
Anyway, why is the title of this News, showing the expensive model only? Or why not both?
The Drive will soon be useless for consoles too, same as with PC's. I'm ...Driveless since 5+ years ago on my PC and not once I was in need of a CD/DVD/Blue-Ray drive. So yea, the $399 PS5 will be ..My Precious!!

No clue why that is
after a lifetime of doing that on all previous consoles, i just can't stop doing that so i will buy discs until the world... yes the world, not the US, stops manufacturing them. The states is pushing digital faster than other countries. As long as I have Japan to import physical games from i'll hold on to it.
I'm still going to wait to get the second gen version because I have this terrible feeling there are going to be problems at launch. I still don't like white and I'm sure they will have different colours later. I just hope it's not too long.

However I will buy PS5 and i strongly believe that it will work as good as a PC. The hardware on PS5 makes me believe that.

I haven't seen a MUST have exclusive yet. I got the switch solely because of BOTW. I got the PS4 for Horizon Zero Dawn (which is now on PC) and I got the XBOX for my kid and family most of them play together on that platform.
I do love how connected Microsoft is with the PC and XBOX. But I Prob won't buy another console unless it has something REALLY next level which I don't see. The graphics don't impress me because the PC just looks and runs better.

Me too, they will have had a year to iron out the kinks too
I'm sure I'm not the only one.
At any rate I won't be a day one adopter so I'm sure that will get sorted out somehow.

Here it's 2020, and the PS5 isn't even backwards compatable with previous games PSX, and PS2 titles, simply because of Intergraded DRM, and they want to charge consumers $500 for this product...
If your console fails too and any of the critical hardware gets ruined it can't be easily repair without a very expensive charge either due to DRM intergraded on the chips at a hardware level.
Yet without giving sites these days you can find PSX, PS2, and PS3 emulators that play all the titles, so there is absolutely no reason a PS5 can't play previous old titles, or no reason sony can't give previous owners of said games free and playable through the downloadable store.
Instead of wasting $500 on a PS5, i'd say wait for a 3080ti graphics card, and build a new PC that can do PC gaming as at least you never have to worry about not being able to play a game.
No doubt the console will have a lot of sales, but as a consumer I just can't justify spending $500 on a console with very limited functions, DRM, and Anti- Consumer Repair.
the black friday is 15 days later
maybe worth to wait but if there's some discount, i'll prepare to battle and be sharp
What have you been smoking lately ?!
PS5 is between X and S series in power?! PS5 and X are almost identically. The GPU, RAM and Bandwidth of the two are almost double vs the S series.
So literally, for $100 in plus, you get A LOT more power if you compare PS5 Digital Edition vs Xbox S series.
I..get it. You a Xbox fan, but .. at least try and make decent comparation.

You sounded like you knew what you were talking about, but then lost all credibility with that last sentence where you equated the price of a scalper to that of the manufacturer's retail price.
