Is it worth getting a PS5 at release?

as much as i want to get it and most likely will, there isn’t any games that jamp out to what games i usually like or play besides maybe at a push godfall , suppose would help when the release date for the console and certain games will be released , looking forward to the console, just not that hyped yet for the games so far announced

Black Friday 2021. Black Friday 2022 if the games aren’t there.

That is most likely when I’ll get one. Price drop and at least 4-5 games I want will hopefully exist. Plus, plenty of time to budget for it, because it will be an investment. That’s how I see it whenever I buy a new console. It’s an investment, especially because I am the guy who uses the console for more than gaming. Since the PS3 it has been my primary blu ray player.

Only time will tell but i personally don’t regret getting a PS4 at release. I think the fact that PS5 will have backwards compatibility, means you will still be able to play the huge library PS4 has to offer while waiting for new PS5 exclusives.

So that eases my mind about getting a PS5 at release. But i need to see the price first. If its anywhere neat $600, i’m waiting a year or two. If its like $400 thats reasonable to me. I like playstation ever since PS2, despite my frustrations with Sony becoming more western focused.

No wait at least a year fore the bugs to get fixed and more games to be released and announced then after Xmas, Easter check places where second hand goods are sold you can usually find new ore barely used ones cheap. Thats how I got my PS4 barely used fore the third of price at pawn shop. O and also consider that there will probably be PS5 PRO or whatever down the line.

My PS4 is one of the first ones, so I’ll probably be getting the PS5 soon after it drops to replace it.  Though probably not day 1.  I’ll wait a month or two…

Yes
