It's going to be exciting. Both the PS4 and Xbox One was kind of outdated on arrival (even though they've managed to put out some great looking games) but this time around we have two great consoles with exciting hardware.
It is weird to review a console itself lol. Either way. Mine is coming next week. I think Microsoft will bring it this gen. Last gen they got bent over.
I managed to get preorders in for both consoles, and I’m excited for both. I skipped last gen on Xbox so looking forward to all the enhanced experiences and some nostalgia from the 360 back compat. Then there’s PS5 with the Dual Sense and Demon Souls for me to get stuck into. A great end to a really shitty year!
When I got the one x, it was impressive what it did to many of the games in terms of enhanced performance. The series takes it to a whole other level. So if you missed out then yeah... every game you play on the sx will be a whole new experience regardless of being an existing game.
Good read, that's why I say people don't care about gimmicks, they may get your attention awe at first then you a few uses later you forget about it and stop using it MS cut the BS and gave us a pure gaming mechine
'And I’m assuming by “gimmick” you mean all the innovations that the competition has?'
Spot on, Laud what you have and downplay what you don't (until you get it)
Seen this talk for over a decade from both side I might add but the ratio of the dismissive speak on exclusives, sp games, sales, features ......the list goes on and will continue forever
Amazon finally confirmed my PS5 date of arrival. It’s official. Amazon will have my Series X at my door on the 10th and my PS5 Disc version on the 12th. New router to take advantage of the 1 GB internet speed I have.... Samsung Q90R. I am officially in next gen launch day heaven with the following weekend off, next week.
It’s Qled. Burn in is basically impossible. I’ve had it since March this year. It’s phenomenal, the HDR is soooo bright and nice, the blacks look like the tv is off, and the colors make you want to see old stuff again for the first time.
John, it's Oled televisions that can be prone to burn in. The television that Death mentions is the Samsung Q90R, essentially an Led with quantum dot technology which produces a wider array of colours and has a higher peak white brightness than Oled & has hdr 10+, which the Oled from LG doesn't have.
This television shines, pardon the pun, in brighter lit scenes. Whereas Oled comes into it's own, in a darker environment with true blacks & 'Dolby Vision' which the Samsung set doesn't have.
I have had the Oled C9 for nearly a year now & it's vitually impossible to get burn in, as there are a plethora of features built in to stop this. For example if you leave a static image on the screen for more than a few minutes, the LG C9 will go to a moving screen saver. You can do all sorts of tweaks in the settings, to lower the colour brightness, of say screen Sports & News logos.
You can't go wrong with either of these televisions as they are both Hdmi 2.1 capable.
If you love watching movies at night in the dark and want 4 Hdmi 2.1 inputs and a far cleaner and sharper image, with better screen uniformity, as well as motion & low latency input lag, then I highly recommend the LG Oled C9. The reason that I don't mention the LGCX (2020) is there isn't much difference between the two & you may be able to snaffle a Black Friday bargain.
The Samsung is also a superb option and can achieve a much brighter and vivid peak image with Hdr 10+. It also handles slightly better in a brighter lit environment, with say windows, as the screen is less reflective.
You are not going to get burn in an a Samsung QLED because it is a completely different tech when compared to OLED. My LG OLED B6 suffers from burn in that occurred in only 2 years with fairly limited use. However, my LG OLED C8 is still going very strong and has no burn in. I prefer the picture quality of the OLED over the QLED, but others may feel differently.
@Stone Yeah it’s on the orders page. My PS5 second controller can finally leave the box and get felt up now that I know I won’t be teasing myself for long. Had it for days unopened waiting on the confirmation to not make things more unbearable.
@eagles and popsicle Yes, the QLED is exactly as you guys say BUT I’ll say this. The black levels that I guess aren’t quite “black” on other QLEDs cheaper QLEDS I do not see on the Q90R. The screen literally looks off in the letterbox of movies or a dark scene. Also, as I play fighting games low latency matters tremendously. The Q90 automatically knows the system that’s hooked up and goes to game mode. If there’s ANY latency when I’m counting on hitting a move within a 3 frame opening, I can’t feel it. Almost 3k at the time, but as a gamer it is worth every penny.
OLEDs at the high end take up to 4000 hours to burn in, your mileage may vary, but unless you’re marathoning the same game hours on end day after day you might never experience it. Cheaper OLEDS might be better off avoiding gaming all together.
Man... the wait is almost over.
