That's it, as we write these lines, the PS5 has officially just been released ! She had been the subject of many rumors in recent months...
AT what price can you get the ps5?
Sony has chosen to offer the PS5 in two versions, one more expensive than the other, to adapt to the smallest budgets. There is indeed now a PS5 Digital Edition, which does not include the disc player at 399 €. On this version, it will therefore be necessary to buy the games on the Playstation Store directly. The second version is the “classic”, with a disc player, and it is priced at 499€.
Classic or Digital: which version to choose?
You're probably wondering which version to choose, and that's normal, a €100 difference is not to be taken lightly. The first thing to know is that the place occupied by the games in the console will be the same on both sides. Indeed, whether via a disc or via a Store, the games are in all cases installed on the hard drive of the console. We already realize on current consoles that when we enter the disc of a new game, we must first download it. The game is therefore not launched directly from the Blu-Ray, it must first be placed on the hard drive.
There are several downsides to the PS5 Digital Edition. At first, with this version, we can say goodbye to second-hand games bought in stores or between individuals. Also, new games are usually more expensive on the PS Store than in some stores. Also take into account that the PS5 is backward compatible, so if you have PS4 games you can put them in the PS5. It would therefore be a shame to deprive yourself of it with the PS5 Digital Edition. Finally, note that you will not be able to resell your games unless you sell your PlayStation account to someone. In short, the PS5 Digital allows you to save money at first, but in the long run, the classic version may be more profitable.
The main features of the PS5
Cloud Gaming is a big feature of the console! We were talking about it, storage is an important topic. If you don't want to see your storage skyrocket, Cloud Gaming can be very interesting. What is its principle? You can play games without having to download them. Indeed, these games run on remote servers, so you don't have to install anything on your hard drive.
The only condition to have a real gaming experience is to have an excellent internet connection. In the same way that you need a good connection to watch a movie in streaming, you need an excellent one to play Cloud Gaming without lag. If you have not yet switched to fiber but are eligible for it, we strongly advise you to take out a fiber offer. In general, to play online games whether in Cloud Gaming or not, you must have a good connection and a very low ping. The fiber is unbeatable on this side, and a good gaming session also requires a good connection. The optical fiber is therefore necessarily part of the paraphernalia of the gamer!
Of course, the PS5 still has many great features. Among other things, it is 8K compatible and the controller has very precise haptic feedback that would adapt to the sounds of the game but also adaptive triggers. The previously mentioned backward compatibility is also one of the console's interesting features, in addition to the highly anticipated cloud gaming feature.
The technical characteristics of the console
The PS5's processor is an AMD Ryzen Zen 2, its RAM is 16 GB and its storage is 825 GB SSD. its fluidity, and the resulting image quality. The Standard Edition has a 4K UHD Blu-Ray player. Finally, the Playstation 5 is also of course compatible with virtual reality thanks to the PSVR headset.
