- The what? Is this new? Microsoft's naming scheme for these things is confusing at best.section_014
- What makes the XB1X better than this? So far form factor & price is making this the better purchase.dopepope
- @dp - Disc Drive, twice the HD size and a better GPU system ('8x better' than XBOne, rather than 3x).Nairn
- Xbox One X is worse than this (current gen) this is the lower end next gen Xbox, the big one is Series Xernexbcn

Slightly masturbatory sentimentalism, but hey. The top five of this was pretty much what I'd've expected.

I wish I could go back in time and ask for an Amstrad for Christmas - it's hard for me to understand why I didn't at the time appreciate that it had clearly superior graphics to the Speccie and Commodore 64. Even the Commodore - I remember thinking the graphics were muddy compared to the gaudy hard RGB colour-clash clusterfuck that my Speccie clearly suffered.
- Storing games on audio cassettes on Commodore 64 was such a mindfuck.Milan
- You could fucking hear bits and bytes in those days! Imagine that now? It would be an infinitely high-pitched hellscream. 5G screams of automegacide.Nairn
- Had an Amstrad PC 1512 (my parents’ pick as it was a more work-oriented machine) but craved an Amiga... Still learned to program 3D tracing on it, gratifying!spl33nidoru

- Is it just me, or does that Hogwarts thing look pretty great?DRIFTMONKEY
- I'm trying really hard to give even the thinnest of fucks about any of the titles shown so far.face_melter
- Demons Souls. Dig the new Riposte animations. Environments looks lush as fuck.DRIFTMONKEY
- So far I'm only interested in Demon's SoulsMilan
- Does Elden Ring even exist? Do I exist?DRIFTMONKEY
- We can preorder, tomorrow, ja?jaylarson
- All digital? Is that the end of the second hand games market?Ianbolton
- ^ Nah there is a Disc version too.. and with some of these next gen games being around £70 reckon be a demand for second hand marketdee-dubs
- Still think it's the demise of a second hand market as everyone buys things from their online storeIanbolton

DAMN, $399 for the digital version! I was thinking of waiting a while to update my PS4, even though it's six years old and sounds like a jet engine with emphysema. But that's a very attractive price... And I don't care about digital vs. discs. I have nowhere locally to sell used games anyway, so no big deal.
- surely this at a loss for both Sony and MS. cut throat competition.inteliboy
- Only the disk version would be backward-compatible, no?scarabin
- Yep, digital all day. I want AAA titles when they drop, so I who cares about used market. Plus, Gamestop is the only non-Walmart spot leftsection_014
- around me, and they're going to be gone in the next few years.section_014
- I want the backward compatibility. Between this and my CHECH01 PS3 i’ll have the entire playstation catalog coveredscarabin
- ^^^ Ah, I didn't think of that. This will be my first console since Xbox 360.section_014

All this console hype has me wondering if there's going to be a Skyrim sequel. I know it's such a meme at this point, but that damn game was a masterpiece.
- skyrim was great, but bethesda sucks.

Looks tight too:
But fuck $70. Better than the Rona!

Pre-ordered the phat PS5 just for Demon's Souls. Great game for day one. Looks incredible and I did not have a PS3 so it will be all new to me.
Lame points from the new announcements:
1. Spiderman Miles Morales, Sackboy and Horizon Forbidden West are also coming to PS4. Jim Ryan said on the previous event that they "believe in console generations", people also used that clear cut to take jabs at Xbox because they were also going to keep the current Xbox around for bit and release their games both on the old and the new ones.
2. Videogames are increasing in price to 79 USD/EUR, that's pretty insane. Sony could have kept their own games prices and see what 3rd parties do with their prices and then increase down the road, but my theory is that they are losing more money on the hardware than what they expected to match XSX and be closer to the XSS. Specially on the PS5 with no Blu-ray drive. Publishers have leaked Sony is also manufacturing less units of this model.
- Wait, $80? I thought they were going to $70. That's quite the leap.section_014
- I don't mind the prices for epic titles like botw, rdr, cyberpunk, cod, etc.. games where you get months of gameplay out of. smaller titles, however... hmm..SteveJobs
- Smaller titles will have other prices yeah, I'm referring to AAAernexbcn
- yeah section_014 look at the list of Sony games here: https://blog.playsta…ernexbcn
- there's a slight possibility these are digital prices and the physical editions are 69 though,. physical is usually 10 bucks less than digital because reasonsernexbcn
- I got a PS3 a few months ago to play DS, looking forward to it all!jaylarson
- Wait, wtf would digital be more expensive than a disc copy? I figure it'd be opposite?Nairn
- Wondering the same. Maybe the costs they'll incur from streaming those 200gb titles to your console and other cloud storage features?SteveJobs
- yup, it is stupid but digital games at least here in EU are 10 euros more than the same game on disc on Amazonernexbcn
- You gonna mod that ps3, jay?scarabin
- game prices are increasing to $70, not $80. https://www.polygon.…Milan
