Do you like the PS5 console design?

Yep, that USB port on the back got a lot of use. I wonder what ports the ps5 will have on the back. PSVR2 should either be wireless or somehow connect through usb-c or one of the other ports on the front as I don't see it being very practical to connect the headset on the back. Hopefully psvr2 won't use a camera but since ps5 is fully psvr 1 compatible it should have a camera port on the back.

Worst case scenario, another break out box with the wireless transmitter for psvr2. I doubt standard wifi will be enough, but perhaps 5ghz directly from the console in close range is good enough. 802.11ac is 210 mbps to 1 Gbps, however 8 bit 4K 120fps is 22.2 Gbps. Compression required.

I don't really care what it looks like, as long as it fits and has all the connections I want. I'll get used to the ugly look, but missing ports are a joy all generation long. I wonder if it will have a grounded plug (ps4 pro) or not (ps4 base). I have double power cord leads everywhere now since the consoles get swapped around all the time. The ps4 pro with breakout box on top and cords curled up everywhere isn't much of a looker either lol.

I would bet on grounded because of the power supply (XSX have a 300W), Europe legislation demand any electronics I think above 200W to be grounded.

On the connector yes I bet we will have the entry for PSVR1 and perhaps PSVR2 uses the same or in worst case it is an entry for PSVR2 and you can buy an adapter. But as you said since USB-C can pass video signal (see Switch) possibly you can just use a single cable without breakout box straight to PSVR2.

People are having fun. Dont take it too seriously. 

Not taking seriously, because I liked the XSX look and even the PS5 devkit.

I really though PS5 looks good (but I can see where the router looking comes from), but for my taste the router looks better than the fountain=p even if it will get all dirty.

The leaked pics show the XBSX prototype has the 250w, 2 prong plug though. Not sure how they would get away with that in production at 300w, unless this is BS. Not sure why else they would use that connector just for the prototype. If it can ship like this, then odds are good PS5 can as well.

*Unless this is actually Lockhart perhaps?

It's all just fun and games, until someone takes the XBSX as a table support for PS5 joke, and changes it to using the PS5 as a router for the XBSX.
