You'll never get ps3 BC without custom hardware being added to the mobo. The PS3 was a beast (which is why it was a pain to dev for) with a lot of custom hardware.

Will it support 1440p monitors?
I've seen people on youtube video comments posting crap like "none of the games showed by ps5 needs an ssd" to those people go watch the ratchet clank gameplay again - during the gameplay ratchet jumps into a "rifts" and stays there for appox 1 to 1.5 seconds - this is actually a loading screen and after that 1 to 1.5 seconds a brand new world pops up instantly. This is only possible on an SSD, the game jumps very fast through multiple worlds with just about 1 second in between them for the PS5 to load a whole new map... that's incredible!
Looks like the Round stand will be supplied as looks like it sits underneath to "prop up" the end when laying down
EDIT:
Still can't get over the fact it is white - it will look hideous alongside all my black home cinema devices.

It will also still have the other games too you know.
But also, yes. Why would Nintendo even bother they make a fortune in their little niche. Be pointless for them to bother with this market.
That's a PCI-E SSD!
Ahh okay. Won't exactly look elegant that way either. I prefer the cuboid with better cooling in mind so far.
For me, it's a tricky choice. I have zero interest in the PS exclusives other than GT and if they're coming away from GT Sports competitive multiplayer, then Forza has it for me.* I've more invested on the Xbox side too, although my PSN+ runs to mid-2021 whereas my Gold+Game Pass runs till either Jan or Feb 2021. Two of my close mates run Xbox (more serious about gaming) where I have about 5/6 on PS which are generally carried along by me...
*One thing I've noticed is GTPlanet forum members often keep saying the same stuff for release after release. And every time, they don't get the features that have been in the last number of FM games. GT started my car (and JDM) fanaticism too.

Wow that ps5 looks ugly as hell it reminds me of virgin media's old routers
I wasn't expecting it but i was hoping they'd make an effort seeing that Microsoft is all in with their machines. The fact is i have a ton of PS3 games i haven't had the chance to play yet. And while i upgraded the several that were remastered for the PS4 to reduce my PS3 library, i would've liked the chance for some sort of emulation on the PS5 so i can play my PS3 games at 1080p at 60fps, i would have been happy enough with that.
They pretty much said on the PS4 launch event that all future PlayStations were going to be on the same sort of architecture going forward, heavily implying that all future PlayStations were going to be backwards compatible with at least the PS4 but no further back. That's what i took from it all those years ago anyway. But i was hoping that the PS5 was going to be powerful enough to use software emulation for the PS3, guess not
These days if you have a decent mid-range PC you can emulate PS1 and PS2 games on modern HDTV's with much higher resolutions and frame rates. But it was the PS3 i was more concerned with
I didn’t like the use of turbo on the ps5, it seemed messy for devs to use. Could be totally wrong though.The whole idea behind the fixed power/variable clocks design means they know exactly how much power the APU is going to use at maximum load. They can therefore make the cooling system quiet at this maximum load and guarantee it will never get louder. In theory...
also in this instance I much prefer the SSD solution in the series x to the ps5, seems a lot less vague.
I'm really hoping that all PS4 controllers like my MadCatz frighting Stick and my Logitec G29 wheel are compatible out of the box, i'd hate to have to rebuy everything again, that would suck.
I'm hoping that because the architecture is so similar that they are either compatible or if not adaptors are easy to bring to market.
There was an interesting post on Reddit about console development, which gives you a bit of an idea about development on PlayStation, with PS2 looking like a right pain.
I guess they should be capable of easily making an efficient emulator for all games across the board, but they must not be interested in doing so, which is a big shame.
That is like the last thing I look at when considering buying it.
Yeah I also like it. Looks nice in black.
Yeah that was weird. The whole presentation was weird to be honest.
Yeah I like the black one. Also like the controller on the top with the classic PlayStation logo.
Overall I did not see anything in this event that would make me want to buy it day one. As I have said before I will wait a few years for the price to come down and for the library of exclusive games to build up like I did with a PS4 Pro.

Not just a PCI-E SSD, the system has custom IO chips also, a PC would need a substantially faster SSD to make up the difference.That's a PCI-E SSD!

Like i said the PS1 and the PS2 are pretty much not needed now and everything and their mum can emulate the PS1 and much better frame rates and resolutions than the original. And the PC Emulator for the PS2 pretty amazing.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, those petals either side at the top strongly suggest they have optimised its laminar flow so they can reduce required fan air pressure.
Oh absolutely. It comes down to things like the dedicated channels, latency, IOPS, etc. to feel fast rather than just the raw numbers a lot of people just brainlessly repeat. Hopefully this sort of thing does get widely utilized.
Mind you, I would like to see the extra benefit this will prove to have over launching games from something off the shelf, such as my desktop PC using a 512GB 970 Pro for example.
