Do you feel the same way?

well i wasn't planning on spending at all until the tv speaker shaming encouragement from others. i was considering hooking up an old pair of speakers (from that mini hifi), since that apparently would be a decent option (again, according to thread even cheap pc speakers are ikely to be an improvement). one problem though, is that i'm pretty sure i'd lose remote volume control, since i think that's what "(FIX)" below the audio output means.



i have considered a soundbar in the past, but i'd probably want to save up to get a better one.

Update: yup, no remote volume control

Honestly I'm surprised the original game got past the ratings board, because those fuckers are conservative as hell and would've balked at literally anything in the first ten minutes of it.

Customizing your toys is cool as heck but why boring plain black? Why not a lacquered red chrome or a deep purple or kelly green or something? If you don't want to see the thing just put it in an enclosed cabinet.

Might be they decided it wasn't worth it yet and to focus on just getting it on the shelves at all. There will probably a bunch of official game-themed cover plates soon enough once the console really gets established, it's just too much of an obvious marketing opportunity not to.

I thought it looked decent actually. Is the vinyl sticker that came with it to make the front and controller matte black too?

That being said a Royal Purple console would be pretty sweet

Coming into a console’s fanboi thread to call it ugly and then getting mad when the fanbois pushback, a classic move

The PS5 didn’t launch with faceplates because they put a lot of work into the way it looks and feels and that’s the product that they want to support and have become emblematic of their brand.

That’s why it’s funny, to me, to cover the PS5 logo with a football sticker. I think it looks good and if you want a boring, featureless cube they have X-boxes in stock at Best Buy

Speaking of, I can't imagine for the life of me why they didn't call the Series X the XBox Monolith instead. It nothing if not fitting and would be so much catchier.

It would be extremely dumb to name a product the X-Box Monolith while also trying to sell any other kinds of X-Boxes

Bring back translucent consoles.

Also to the guy talking about disco elysium, just create a US/EU/UK account and buy it with psn credit, it's worth having multiple accounts for sales in other regions anyway. I'm in the UK and most of the time it's cheaper to buy digital games off the US store

A monolith is a singular thing, it is basically by definition a sole entity. The dictionary defines a monolith, figuratively, as an organization of entities into a unified whole. Basically the exact opposite message you’d want to associate with a brand of designer consumer electronics that you’re marketing as distinct items for unique audiences.

You’re obviously using it in the ~”a singular column of stone” ~ sense but that’s just the most superficial application of the word.
