PlayStation 5 Officially Announced

I'm sorry. I got hooked to online multiplayer. There is no point in PS unless there is a low lag connection available to me. So far I am not part of the few "lucky" "elite" who have access to "fiber" in Lebanon. That is why I sold my PS4 and would not even buy a PS3. I'm not into retro or story mode gaming. Sorry for being negative.

even with ogero dsl? i might be getting 1.5megabits/s but at least the ping is stable and low enough to enjoy playing.

Agreed. I'm very far from the CO and I still get 90-105ms stable to European servers, which has been more than enough even for FPS. (I don't play competitively, so it's a none issue for the part). A couple of friends of mine get close to 75ms with interleaving off but they are closer to the CO.

I use LTE and it is very stable for gaming with ~80 ms ping

As rolf said, there is no reason to play story mode games, or non multi.

I played competitive dota 2 for 4 years and now want to take a break from multiplayer, I'm hyped for demon souls, hope they make proper use of the new controller tech.

Bad News

It might be a defective unit and this might happen to any electronic device, or it might be a much serious underlying hardware issue.

That is why i don t rush buy a 1st gen console. They are almost always plagued with overheating and fan noise problems.

The ps5's form factor and cooling is top notch and it was clearly shown in multiple reviews. If something is seriously wrong we will know when people have it for 1 week in north america.

I like how when a device fails the first thing people think about is thermal issues, the PS5 is hosting a very power efficient CPU/GPU with a large heatsink with liquid metal as a thermal compound, and it has 2 blower fans providing a very good airflow, also even a CPU from 2008 can protect itself from Heat by shutting down on risky temperatures

More listings showing up on OLX. I don't understand how this is legal man.

The listing are legal , but their console warranty is suspecious. I will wait until 19th when Fattal gives the green light to sell. I will get it from a shop that deals with Fattal. It will have a 1 year and 3 months warranty. The price will stabalize too. Don't buy a PS5 unless it is an acceptable offer. Otherwise, save the money for later. Wait till the PS5 scalpers in Lebanon disappear/die.

Scalpers will buy a lot of PS5s in normal prices to make the stock low and then resell them at very and extremely high prices for their own benefit. (Ya3ne l nassabeen in other words)

Shops in general tend to get the items 1-2 weeks before hand fot stocking pricing inventory purposes but here they sell it 2 weeks before to make extra profit. This is why you find ps4 games 1 week before official launch worldwide. Technically speaking it is illegal as they break the embergo entrusted to them but here they don't care. You want to enforce a law in an almost lawless country be my guest. The scalpers/sellers on olx must know someone on the port or customs that is how they get their hands on a couple of units as for warranty don t think they covered.
