I mean...if it's near a mid range pc's specs and possibly faster in some ways i'm okay with it being near that size. I've also come to appreciate the PS5's aesthetic. It's cool both sides took a different approach. Who cares make it fuckin' weird!

The worst part about the PS5 isn't the size (although it's close) but rather the super cheap looking glossy black plastic on the front facing part of the main shell. No wonder people compared it to a $30 router when it first got announced.

My consoles go either behind my tv or under furniture that blocks them from view so other than "does it actually fit" I don't really care how they look. Its not like once you set up a system you move it very often.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Well, if we take the forearm to ear radio and neck-to-naval to index finger ratio (I calculated both based on 70 individual frames from the video, and averaged) we clearly see he’s actually pretty short stature. So in conclusion the PS5 is not that big, actually.

I cant believe Sony actually shared that tear down video.

the fact that the most interesting thing in the whole video was the thermal paste is even more unbelievable.

One little known benefit: If you put your PS5 horizontally and rearrange your furniture to be on top of the console, when turned on the PS5 will act as underfloor heating for your room.

GameStop partners with Microsoft
https://www.slashgear.com/gamestop-partners-with-microsoft-08641679/


"To be clear, here, Microsoft didn’t just acquire GameStop, or vice-versa. This deal will have GameStop using Microsoft’s cloud-based business applications and customer data platform for its business operations. That includes finance, inventory, eCommerce, retail, and point of sale."

"GameStop will start selling Xbox All Access. That’s an Xbox console with 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for “no upfront cost.” GameStop and Microsoft “will both benefit from the customer acquisition and lifetime revenue value of each gamer brought into the Xbox ecosystem."

Not sure what GameStop is getting out of this “partnership.” Sounds like they’re just paying Microsoft to move them onto M365 and Azure. Can’t imagine it would be worth it to Microsoft to do it for free just to have a failing business sell a few extra Xboxes.

M365+Azure+Dynamics. And they'll get a discount on the package because they'll hawk some Xbox subs.

Using MS's cloud services at a discount probably helps Gamestop reduce operating costs, which is useful for a struggling business, maybe it saves a few more locations from the chopping block. A few extra Xboxes can be worth a lot to MS if they intend to perpetually milk them for subscription revenue. And I think they'll sell more than a few, Gamestop is in decline but it still does a lot of business.

Gs had been refusing to finance the xss prior to this but was the biggest competitor to all access with the xsx financing they were offering

This basically sidelines their financing scheme and makes all access the way to lease a console while getting the xss to be leaseable at gamestop where it previously was not going to be.

Its a good business move from ms to continue to blight americas small towns with bad ram

All game stores are on the Blockbuster path. There’s more convenient options in digital and amazon, I don’t know why anyone would want to go into the shop to buy. Even pre-covid.

If I want physical I will not order from Amazon. Sometimes you get the game 1 day early, but sometimes you get it 4 days late and I'm not willing to take that risk. That being said, Best Buy and Target also take pre-orders for physical pickup so there's no reason I would need to go to Gamestop specifically.
