    Please don’t do this to me. The whole point of a console is convenience, and it’s not like you had to test for multiple platforms. You control the hardware.

      They have what, 3 variants of the console? Regular, Slim, Pro?

      Meanwhile on PC…

        No. They have 1 model with 2 cases. They use the same internal components, but the slim has a more compact cooling solution.

        Only difference specs-wise is that the Slim has a ~1 TB SSD compared to the ~850 GB SSD

          Thank you for the correction! I thought it was like the PS3 where there was different hardware inside the different models. Well, some of them.

          …but wait, if all the internals are the same size, why wasn’t the regular one the size of the Slim? Is it just space from having the disc drive removed?

        Im a pc user, and the pc world is still a lot more complex than just “regular, slim and pro” versions. Different hardware and combinations males it a lot more complex.
        You could say “low, medium and high end pc” but that means nothing as even a medium pc could have different cpu’s, gpu’s or even ram timings…

        But yes, the different console versions is stupid

          Yes, that was my point, haha

    Oh look, someone at Sony decided to update the AMD graphics drivers included without first testing every combination to find the specific driver that actually works…

        Same. I love my PS5 and have had almost no issues at all with it. I also love my PC but I use them for different purposes.

      The last console I owned was a megadrive and I still don’t feel I ever missed out on anything at all.
