A reliable source in Sony CA has told me the following:
>PS5 no longer has upgradeable storage. It "Would've ruined the artistic vision" for the PS5's aesthetic, so it was scrapped.
>If you want more storage, you'll have to buy the digital edition. It has a 1,700gb drive, whereas the disc drive variant will only come with 850gb.
>Disc drive will be $700, digital only will be $500.
>Sony will charge $70 for digitally purchased games, supposedly only for a year to recoup costs, but there's serious discussion of making it permanent.
>Digitally purchased PS4 games that are BC will require a $10 fee to "convert" to PS5, but disc based PS4 games won't.
>PS Now is being scrapped. The service is underutilized and bleeding money. Instead, there'll be a service where you choose the games you want to play via the cloud, and you pay a monthly fee for each game on Sony's server.
>PS5 sounds like a jet engine but doesn't overheat
>Dual-Sense is incredibly fragile, expensive to make, and the built in microphone can't be turned off.
>Many launch titles will feature voice activated commands
>Sony wants to make the console experience easier for users, and plans to integrate a full set of voice commands for everything, from gameplay, to browsing the PSN store.
A reliable source in Sony CA has told me the following:
Sure, whatever you say
Almost all of these are lie and you give many false information also. Grow up buddy.
>Digital has a twice as large expensive SSD
>Disc version costs $200 more
You didn't even fucking try
>>Digitally purchased PS4 games that are BC will require a $10 fee to "convert" to PS5, but disc based PS4 games won't.
>PS5 sounds like a jet engine but doesn't overheat
These seem likely though
Big if true
Different user.
>Sony is just going to drop any Japanese developer that shows the slightest amount of skin in their games. Which means Senran Kagura is about to be let go from their exclusivity deal.
>Another Last of Us game will only be available to the PS5, still using Naughty Dog.
>Sony's not only getting Chinese game companies on board, but also Iranian and Belarusian ones.
>Sony is hiring hobos just to advertise the PS5
wow, how convenient that these are all exactly what Zig Forumsalvetendogaf wants to hear about a sony product.
I'm not going to believe this, but I was planning to buy the digital version regardless, so it would be a win for me anyway.
larping faggot, as usual
Who's that?
The economics of this post don’t make any sense.
A disc drive costs $20 when purchased in bulk.
The SSD is probably the second most expensive component in the system. Probably close to $100 alone.
It makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE to charge swap out a disc drive for an SSD, and then take $200 off.
Try shitposting again in a month, and actually try to work out the numbers first please.
>>Sony will charge $70 for digitally purchased games
They already do this in Europe. Last of Us normal edition is 70 Euro. So was FF7 remake. Capcom is one of the few companies that doesnt charge 70 Euro for digital releases as RE3 was 60 Euro.
Hey, a Naughty Dog insider here.
>The company is falling apart after the Last of Us 2 game got leaked
>They're trying to do anything to keep people's minds off the leak. Hence the series deal.
>No joke, Naughty Dog is actually working on a Last of Us racing game.
>Possibly going to reference the stupid twists in the Last of Us 2
The state of these embezzlers.
the ceo of my dick
no one who would bother leaking would have such bulk amounts of information handed to them. Nice larp.
>built in mic that cannot be disabled
Bullshit
>200 burgerdollar difference for a fuckin disc drive with half as much HDD space
BULLSHIT
>no upgradable storage
BIGGEST bullshit. PS3 and 4 had that and it was a NEEDED feature with how big games are getting. Scrapping that over "artistic vision" is lunacy and is a big tipoff this is a troll post.
Reported and saged.

My cat
>$200 for a disc drive
>remove $50 bluray drive and add $300 2TB nvme ssd
>cut $200 off retail price
lmao
*TV series deal
It’s kind of upsetting that OP did not do even the most basic research before making this thread. Why do people make fake rumors? It’s just fucking pathetic.
The "twist and turns" of the story coul dbe used to make a great track.
>Digitally purchased PS4 games that are BC will require a $10 fee to "convert" to PS5, but disc based PS4 games won't.
this makes absolutely no sense.
Now this thread is a crock of bullshit but I'd like to address this one:
>Digitally purchased PS4 games that are BC will require a $10 fee to "convert" to PS5, but disc based PS4 games won't.
Didn't they do something like that for PSP->Vita in Japan? I'm just curious how they handled it last time.
Selling at a loss because the digital market will make them more money. Enjoy never finding used games and paying $40 for a 5 year old PS5 game lmao
No, Japan got the best end of the deal in that case if I remember correctly. For no additional fee you could just get digital PSP games for Vita if you had the physical version
I should mention they're doing it in a "ha ha ironic meta" way.
you literally can see a mute mic button in the DualSense, you retard OP
Digital psp games just work on vita, but in Japan they offered a limited-time service to get your physical UMDs exchanged for a digital license so you could continue playing them on the new hardware.
I will not buy this console even if this bullshit op is saying is fake
kek if real tho
That's awkward but cool
Unfortunately there's a bunch of early PSP games that never got a digital version outside of piracy. Yohoho me hearties, the correct path is obvious.
>>Dual-Sense is incredibly fragile, expensive to make, and the built in microphone can't be turned off.
the controller literally has a mic-off button. pathetic
>PS Now is being scrapped
This is a rumour I keep hearing. That ps now is being replaced/scrapped for another cloud service. It would work by syncing your ps5 with the cloud, and when you log in from the app on another device, you will see all your games etc and if the game is cloud enabled will be able to carry on where you left off. I like the idea.
all of this is true, but the disc version is 600
a turn off button that doesnt do anything
console will still record you
>digital version costs 200 bucks less
i can see all of this being true because it's sony. the only thing which stands out as being really weird is the digital one being $200 less whilst having 100% more storage capacity. storage isn't cheap whereas a disk drive is like $30 more. i'd expect a $100 difference with the losses on the digital edition being made up through digital sales.
do you own a phone? a laptop with a mic? a webcam? those still record you, big fucking whoop retard.
could be because the disk one comes with a camera and headset bundled in with it in a "streamer" package. there were actual insider leaks about it but some say it got cancelled cos it was too expensive.
damn you sound awfully triggered
if Sony does it it's okay
I'll believe it when I see it.
Dunno what OP is smoking but for those curious about ps5 being loud this is going around apparently.
>pushsquare
>Cerny
okay but why should I trust them when they were lying about PS4 fan noise, and only now admit to it? will they admit that the PS5 was a jet engine when they unveil the PS6?
>implying the camera is for streaming
>implying they're not gonna have Eye of Judgement: The Revenge on release day
Look forward to it buddies, you heard it here first
autistic if not true.
Most people here don't get that Sony wants to move its base towards digital, to save money. They won't have to deal with many issues that physical discs have, like retailer costs
Bingo
They were thinking about it way back when they first set up the digital storefront on PS3
OH NO NO NO NO NO FELLOW SONYGROS
D-D-DID WE G-GET TOO COCKY?
i wouldn't take cerny for his word if it was the last thing i could do before i died. he's a serial liar and shit eater. i still remember when the ps4 pro came out with 4tf and then the xbox one x came out with 6tf and he claimed the ps4 pro could do 8tf to make it sound like its better than the xbox one x (basically putting more emphasis that tflops actually matter) and then now he suddenly says ps5 tflops don't matter in his ps5 show. the guy is a fucking hack and needs to be shot.
Exclusive with the head designer.
I dunno how liked pushsquare is liked here on Zig Forums i just linked the first thing that wasn't playstationlifestyle, had i done that no one would have cared.
Linked just because its ps5 related but everyone is too busy fishing for (you)s thinking its $700
