Such a disappointment for PlayStation Portal. If this had a basic android OS. Where you could also install the likes of Geforce Now and Steam Link and Xbox Xcloud. I would of bought one without a second thought.

But from what it looks like. It can only be used for PS5 Remote play. It's just two expensive for what it is.

As for the headphones. I love Sony's previous headphones. The Pulse Elite, 2.0 and Wireless 3D. So I can see me buying the new elite ones.

The explorer ones look really nice. Could see me buying them when cheaper. Providing they are decent.

I have the Wireless Golds from when I got my PS5, but I purchased the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless ones last year for my PC so now I just use those for my PS5 as well. More comfortable IMO

ocelot07264d ago

Yer steel series are really nice. Use the article 1 for pc.

. ignore me I responded to wrong topic

It's comforting that the PlayStation blog approves of the new PlayStation devices.

I am tired of this cash-grabbing peripheral mindset. Nobody asked for new headphones or earbuds. I have the Pulse 3D headset already, you want me to pay again for a new headset? I don’t need the earbuds. Let me use my own earbuds over bluetooth! Forcing the user to use a USB dongle so their choices are limited and will most likely result in them getting the Sony product. Jim Ryan really needs to be fired. He is trying to get ”new” money from Playstation owners with new accessories and handhelds nobody asked for. Just wait for the wave of mediocre GaaS that are to be launched. Mark my words, unless Jim Ryan is fired and Playstation goes back to its roots which is making over-the-top single player games, this will be the beginning of Playstation’s demise and end their supremacy over the video game industry in the coming decade. PSVR2 is almost abandoned by Sony and that is one of the greatest products ever released for gaming! They should invest more in PSVR2 to make more AAA games for it so it becomes more mainstream. Jim Ryan did not greenlight PSVR2 and he seems indifferent to its success. Relying heavily on 3rd party studios making VR games is not a strategy Sony should be taking. If Sony’s leadership have any sense, Jim Ryan will be fired in 2024 or 2025.

Sony States We Will Know More About the "Long-Term Vision" of PlayStation Later This Month

Sony has confirmed that there is something happening later this month and it involves SIE which is the division that operates PlayStation.

Skuletor11h ago

My guess, is they were waiting for the new CEO position to be finalized before their next showcase and now that's out of the way.

neutralgamer199211h ago

Yes I think you are right. They wanted the leadership in place hopefully now they can give a strong showing of what’s to come

S2Killinit10h ago

Its not confirmed that this will involve game announcements.

Cacabunga10h ago

Tbh this claim doesn’t reassure me at all..

Eonjay6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

@S2Killinit

If this is about games that worries me because I thought they were walking away from announcing titles far in advance. For them to say 'Long Term Vision' sounds like we are getting announcements years in advance. I don't want that. Lets hope the long term vision part refers to their goal for the company and that they also give us info on projects reaching fruition in the short term.

Also, this is gonna be where we find out that they are going full PC day and date (or greatly reduced if they don't have the capacity at their studios). Its gonna happen. Why? Because all you have to do is look at Helldivers... fastest selling PlayStation game ever. And they make good games. They will sell.
Now we can fight over whether this will hurt the console space. I don't think so as long as they provide an option that will allow people to come close to maxing out their graphics... ergo the PRO.

46player11h ago

Sounds good, PS5 Pro preorders. Let’s do this!

Crows9011h ago

I don't get it....we barely got any ps5 exclusives and people already want a refresh??

crazyCoconuts10h ago

When they show GTA6 on the Pro I think you'll get it

VersusDMC9h ago

Pretty sure we got 5 console exclusives this year so far and 3rd party games took advantage of the PS4pro last gen so it will happen with the PS5pro as well.

romulus239h ago

I don't get it either but people get new iphones the second they come out even though they just bought the previous one which works just fine. Some people just want the latest and greatest no matter what and have the income to do it. If the improvement to games is significant enough I may get one but probably not at launch.

-Foxtrot9h ago

Exactly

I will always be behind the idea that one of the reasons why this gen doesn't feel as much of a leap is because we kind of got spoilt with the PS4 Pro last gen. It was like a teaser to this gen.

Looking back on a technological leap after 7 years is way more impressive than if it was 3 or so.

Crows903h ago

@versus

You're making this out to be something it isn't. I think it's stupid that sony themselves have barely put out any exclusives that can only run on the ps5 and we already have calls for a "pro" version...that is mindblowingly dumb in my opinion

Einhander19722h ago(Edited 1h ago)

People come up with the silliest reasons to claim the console isn't needed, exclusives made by Sony don't matter, third party games are like 500 to 1 even in the best year.

And since PS1 PlayStation has relied on third party publishing deals, the vast vast majority of games that people see as PlayStation games were made by third party developers published by Sony, Insomniac only recently became a PlayStation studio all their games made before that were as a third party.

PS5 Pro is the same as a graphics card upgrade that no one ever complains about like this, and it's way cheaper performance per dollar than a CPU.

Big things right around the corner.

purple10111h ago

Almost optimistic to say, but those leaks of the 6 cancelled games (games that were not even announced)

yeh, maybe some didn't actually get cancelled after all

notachance11h ago

as a long time ps fans I hope they still put great single player games front and center, make your live service games if you have to but don’t force your 1st party studios to make something they don’t want to.. redfall is an unfortunate example of a good studio forced to basically destroy themselves.

Eonjay5h ago

Good points. How would you feel if Sony decided to put their single player games on PC day and date? This would allow their studios making single player games to recoup more money to keep the games coming. If it works with GaaS why not single player?

notachance2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

If they do that, it’s just a matter of time before someone make a console using PC as a platform, then that console would automatically have the full PC games (which means combined PS, PC, and Xbox games) as a library.

In fact, who’s to say steam aren’t working at it right now lol, just imagine it, something with the ease of use of console that can play both ps and xbox games day 1.. combined with the marketbase of steam, there’s the new king of console.

Or better yet, Nintendo would do it and there will finally be one console that can play it all..

Ps: on the topic of games releasing day and date, you could argue that by delaying PC release date there will be a few people who double dipped on buying games, just like what good ol rockstar loved doing with their games..
