I suppose then it's 2 biggest problems will be fixed. 

It's looking like they'll offer bc too. 

I assume you mean BC for PS4 games?

I do wonder why they wouldnt offer it for PS1-3 games as well, at least popular ones. The console will be well and truly powerful enough to do this via software emulation you would think.

If they make PS5 backwards compatible with every Playstation home console  (that means, putting a PS1/2/3/4 disc on it and playing it), the console will be a must buy for me. No more having to plug and unplug old consoles when I want to play an old game. I wouldn't even care about PS5 actual games. I would have 4 consoles in one xD

Well if components hadnt been locked down ~9 months before release then I'd be worried :P

Many people on the french board I go will be pleased by this news.

I don't think the ventilation system/dust built up is why some PS4s overheat and kick into high fan speed modes - I think it's the thermal paste that either isn't of good quality (it was atrocious in my fat PS3) or is sometimes misapplied in assembly

Huh, guess I take my quiet Xbox X for granted. I had no idea the other side had this problem



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

My PS4 Pro is quiet but it's not an old model. I have seen some players on a board saying their old PS4 Pro are not quiet.

As we all know, sometimes the PS4 can be noisy when it gets hot, and at times sound like a jet engine, well according to comicbook.com and bloomberg.com Sony will not skimp on the PS5 cooling system.

comicbook got their info directly from bloomberg. you have 1 source, not 2. 

and there is no WILL NOT here. We have no idea how verifiable Bloomberg info is here. They may be right, they may be wrong. 

Yeah, I still use both because comicbook summarize it in a nice two paragraph while bloomberg has more beefy details. Everything considered I'm just glad that if the source is right then that means the inners of PS5 has high quality parts inside.

And here I come expecting they actually removed the light bar on the controller.

edit: Wait, so the only "lead" they have on it is that the cooling is slightly more expensive? Could it maybe be that the components are much more powerful and emit a lot more heat? How the fuck are they drawing conclusion on the noise here? I hope whoever cobbled that shitty article together quits being a journalist out of embarrassment.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

PS VR will still be working so I guess the light bar will stay
