The receiver looks tight, does it have room to breathe?

One I haven't seen mentioned: multi user support. You can easily flip between different users on consoles. It's more complicated on PC. A lot of gaming centric apps like launchers do not like running on two user accounts at the same time on PC. Also, PCs these days don't really shut down. So when you turn one on, you don't know if someone else is already logged in until you log on and start getting "an instance of this application is already running" errors. In that case, you have to open up Task Manager, log out the other user, then log out and log back in yourself.

I love my gaming PC as a couch gaming rig, but it's a pain in the ass sometimes.

I didn't mean the hardware wouldn't hold up. My OG PS4 is also working just fine. I meant that in 5 years, bigger and bigger games will release, making that storage even tighter. And there is NO reason to not make external storage available to play from if it met reasonable speed requirements. I also meant I think all of PS's exclusives will come to PC (assuming a demand for it), just a year or so later.

Also, what you said about games being better optimized later for PS5 also runs true for PC games. Games may come out that your hardware isn't capable of, but downing the graphics settings will make it look like games did a couple years ago; exactly how it works with a console. For instance, while my OG PS4 works just fine, some things such as Miles Morales and GTA Online run like shit on it.

Edit: I'm not one of those people that say you can build a gaming rig for the same price as a console. I'm not, that's bullshit. But you can come damn close, and justify the expense with the MUCH better legs to expand in 5 years. There is no point in buying an Xbox unless you just really don't want to deal with a PC. Which is also fine, I couch game with my PC and it is a bit of a hassle.

This is just my opinion about the current PS5 state. If they come out with an improved model, as they typically do, that optinion might change.

I'm a little disappointed in my PS5 to be honest. It's got great power and games look GORGEOUS on a 4k HDR TV. The controllers' haptic capabilities are fantastic in games that utilize it.

That being said, I also game on a mid level PC rig that would prob cost just a tad more than a PS5 on today's market. (It was near-high end when I built it 4 years ago). It plays games almost as well as the PS5. No ray tracing, but I tend to turn that off in favor of FPS anyway. I've not seen anything where it made a huge enough visual difference to warrant 30fps.

The storage situation on PS5 is abysmal. They only come with 1 storage option, and it's enough to hold only a handful of modern games. You can't expand it with a USB drive. You can attach a USB drive, but you can't play games from it. You have to shuffle games back and forth between USB storage and internal storage to play them.

I really like the hardware, but for the cost, I'm disappointed. For those reasons, I say it WONT last you 5 years. You will be banging against that storage wall, and all the games you wanted the PS5 to play will certainly be on PC. It may be 3 or 4 years after release, but they will def make PC releases with the success they have had doing so.

Yup. I remember one story where the town by one of these camps had a dance between the townspeople and Nazi prisoners.

Be aware, at this same time, American citizens of Japanese descent were being put in internment camps, and they sure as hell were not having dances.

I doubt that's true, especially the part about Sony support. But if true, you can replace the battery, which was my point when posting the comment.

Or just buy the far superior Sony 1000XM series ear buds.
