They definitely did lol I noticed that too

There's air intake on the back as well. Idiots could just as easily block the exhaust on the other side The LEAST MS could have done... was at least make the stand bottom more attractive looking. Have it nice and soft rubberized. As the stand looks right now, it looks almost unfinished. It's circular... but the console doesn't swivel.. So why not just have 4 rubberized feet that stick out the same amount?

Yea, that's ugly as fuck. Why couldn't they just do the same as Sony and have a screw that allows it to come off and a little cover you pop in? That way they could even potentially allow more air intake when it's on it's side. Makes no sense to me from what's been shown... but maybe there's some sort of reason I just can't think of.

Well, Steve didn't rip into them like I thought he might, but he's playing the smarter cautionary role, which people in his position should until all the facts are out there. He just made a livestream going over the news and allegations late last night/early morning. Still though.. big tech launches are becoming ridiculous these days.

At least the easy removable nature of the panels allows easy custom designs. I'm sure modders will have fun with the PS5.

I have 173 games on the EGS, and I've bought 2 of them

Yea, that is a MASSIVE heatsink lol... but honestly, I liked that teardown. The console is ugly as sin, but there's a lot of work that goes into designing how it all fits together. Seems like they're doing everything they can to keep noise down and the console cool.

Just going to link the REEEEera thread about it, fuck it. https://www.resetera.com/threads/msi-got-caught-scalping-their-rtx-3080-and-3090-cards-on-ebay-heres-what-they-had-to-say.301949/ Can't wait for Tech Jesus to rip into these motherfuckers. MSI can go to hell...

Enjoy it homie

Jesus, that's pretty sad.

I thought The Medium was releasing on Series X/S at launch.. but I guess it's not? LOL I dunno then. I honestly haven't really been following which games are launching with it because I don't care lol If not... then yea I guess you're right.

Then again though... not much point in laughing if I can't get one

Nothing else that they are allowed to test. There ARE next gen games coming for launch

Started Baldur's Gate 3. Visually it looks amazing for the kind of game this is.. but it's DEFINITELY early access at this point. There's glitches and things happening all over the place. They've already addressed that it's going to be improved immensely, and it still already looks so much better than their previous stuff. I'd say though, hold off on it until there's at least been a few patches. If you can wait until the games final release next year, all the better.. but I'm gonna give feedback as I go to help make it the best game it can be.

DOF as an effect can be VERY taxing. They're not "hiding" ugly models... those are quite objectively the best looking crowd models I've ever seen for a game. Did you not watch the video I posted

They're testing it because that's what the received the systems to test. And no... they're testing all sorts of games to see if there is an improvement, and how much.. if there is... because it's not a given. You didn't even know that Xbox One X loaded games faster than the One OG... and even if you did.. you most certainly didn't know by how much. Some games load faster... others don't. Which is why it isn't a given that all games load faster. ANNNNYYYway... Yes.. it's nice. As I said.. people WANT to know this information.

No.. it's not a given... hence why you have people testing games..

DOF isn't taxing?

I agree and disagree. Yes, it would be nice to see games actually developed to take advantage of the system and how they can utilize the new storage bandwidth.. but at the same time.. it makes sense that games designed to take advantage of something would be fast. In the case of the new consoles however, I think it's also extremely interesting how they enhance the previous gen games without requiring any changes to coding. I wouldn't say it's "a given" seeing as how this is really the first generation that loading has actually become quicker in any substantial way for BC.

You're so dumb
