You Should Probably Know These About The PS5
For starters, the official price of the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition is $499 and the price of the Ps5 Digital Edition is $399.
$499 for the Ps5 does not seem that much to us considering both the hardware and software improvements that have been made to the console.
The Xbox Series X also costs $499 so price should not really affect your choice of consoles.
When comparing the prices of the Xbox Series S and the Ps5 Digital Edition, you may notice that the Xbox Series S is about a $100 cheaper than the Ps5 Digital Edition.
This may be because, in terms of some essential features like the graphics power, RAM and overall storage, the Ps5 Digital Edition surpasses the Xbox Series S.
The Ps5 Digital Edition has a 10.28-teraflop GPU and the Xbox Series S has a 4-teraflop GPU, the Ps5 Digital Edition has 16GB of RAM while the Xbox Series S has 10GB of RAM, the Ps5 Digital Edition has 825GB of storage while the Xbox Series S has 512GB of storage.
Surprisingly, the Xbox Series S's processor is 0.1GHz faster than that of the Ps5 Digital Edition.
An actual look at the PlayStation 5's user experience was finally shared to the world via PlayStation's official YouTube channel.
The GUI( Graphical User Interface) of the Ps5 is actually pretty nice in our opinion.
Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President, Global Product Strategy and Management - Sony Interactive Entertainment, said, "the Ps5 user experience was built from the ground up."
That statement gives us a kind of idea of how long they have been working on the Ps5's GUI.
In our opinion, the GUI of the Ps5 is very different to that of the Ps4, more functionality has been added to the Ps5 with the implementation of a Ps5 Control Centre and there are now a series of shortcuts to access commonly used features faster.
The Control Centre is basically made up of what Sony calls cards, which allow users to perform a variety of tasks and access information.
The Control Centre of the Ps5 can be accessed without even leaving or minimizing the game you are playing, which may be an advantage to having to minimize a game when accessing the Ps4's home screen.
There are other interesting features about the PlayStation 5's GUI, you can watch the video below.
You can still pre-order the Ps5 whenever Sony decided to make it available for pre-order again.
A full teardown video of the Ps5 has been released on PlayStation's official YouTube channel.
The teardown showed the various hardware components and ports (HDMI Out port, USB Type-A port with Hi-Speed USB Support, USB Type-C port, USB Type-A ports with SuperSpeed USB Support, LAN port and Power Port) of the Ps5.
From the teardown video, we know how to place the Ps5 horizontally and we know that storage can be expanded.
Sony took the liberty of mounting the Ultra HD Blu-ray Drive unit with two layers of insulators to reduce the drive noise and the vibration when the disc spins ultimately making the Ps5 quieter.
The Ps5's CPU (Central Processing Unit) is an x84-64-AMD Ryzen "Zen 2" which runs at up to 3.5GHz and it's GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is an AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based graphics engine.
The Ps5 uses a liquid metal cooling mechanism which Sony spent 2 years preparing to adopt.
The Ps5's power supply unit is rated at 350 Watts.
