The PS5 Exists.

I'm pretty sure anyone who takes their online gameplay/speeds seriously uses a wired connection anyway. I know I do.



Better than Nothing I guess

Truly disgraceful that it wasn't a feature on the original

Agreed but this is still pretty sweet. Where I live currently, and when I bought the PS4, trying to do wireless multiplayer was basically impossible with constant cuts to my connection and random chunks of packet loss. We live in an apartment. Tonssss of interference.  While part of this I attribute to the shitty stock Comcast modem/router combo we have, I also can't help but feel like the wifi card on PS4 OG blows loads as well. Switching to LAN instantly fixed the issues, would definitely be nice from a portability perspective if the Neo and slim use better quality cards.

So what? The Xbox One already had the ability to do this day one (it works on my 5GHz connection). Surprising this wasn't available as part of the original PS4. I can't imagine using the microwave and having it disconnect from my internet each time its in use (thats what happens on my 2.4 GHz connection).



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

This should've been included in the original ps4.

Yh you are right.... guess whenever i want to download a game to my PS4 i can just use an XB1.....



That's cool. I wonder if the system will see any other updates?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Ahhhhhhh this must be why they had to raise the price of PS Plus
