PS5 specs revealed, kind of...

[blackwiggle]

Sony are always want to make PS's sleeker, every PS to date has had a 2nd generation model that's been smaller, this is because of the WAF [Wife Acceptance Factor] which Sony's marketing has found has had a big effect on the take up and acceptance of allowing a PS in the lounge room of a house proud wife.

Regarding the PS5 proposed support of Dolby Atmos, well ironically the sales of HT Amps/Receivers [which is where your D.A decoding is going to be done] has dropped quite a bit over recent years due to the mistaken belief by your average consumer, that a 'SoundBar' will give you 'As Good' surround sound.
This again is partly because of the WAF, plus it's a lot cheaper than a proper surround setup using separates, it's easier to setup and one is usually bought at the same time as a new TV......but it won't do Dolby Atmos the way it's designed to work.
Yes I agree Sony have never been slow to implement new stuff, but they are also not slow in dropping it later, like 3D support, which can leave you with technically redundant equipment, or because said equipment used software in a propitiatory codec you could for instance find whole music collections which you bought in good faith now unplayable....ATRAC/MiniDisc/ SACD anybody? [Actually SACD is still big in Japan, but releases in this format are thin and expensive]

Sony's initial intention was to push 3D gaming to sell 3D TV's, but actual 3D games were few and far between, WO HD in 3D on the PS3 is amazing [Cavet being you NEED a 200HZ refreash rate 3D capable TV, otherwise the lag can be horrendous]
You had people complaining about having to wear 3D specs, yet now they are prepared to wear a wired VR helmet, go figure.
I own a old Sony 1080p 3D TV, when I found out that GASP! Sony were dropping 3D support I was horrified, as I have 100+ 3D Blurays [I watched Aquaman and Mortal Engines in 3D last weekend] and knew my Sony TV wasn't going to last forever [I know this was because Sony stopped making it's own panels, and started using ones built by LG, who were the ones that decided to stop making 3D panels], but the fact that this sudden lack of 3D support came without warning, that was my 'Not Again Sony' moment.
To cut a long story short, after much searching late 2017, I found out that the Panasonic EX780a was not only the last 3D capable TV being made, but also a 200HZ 4K UHD model, and it had very low input lag to boot...so it had both old and new technology.Take my money! I bought a 65" model, one of the last available, and because it was being phased out for a replacement model, got it for less than half it's RRP with a Panasonic 4K disc player thrown in...Win,win,win.....I have my own calibration gear, so I had this TV looking like a $7000 OLED after a few hours calibrating it.

Why I initially put a 2nd SSD in that PC build was because it was initially designed as a graphic processing PC, for Lightroom and Photoshop, that drive was intended as the 'workspace drive' for those two programs to speed things up, as I work with very large RAW files.

What I do find intriguing about the PS5 is that will still have a disc player, I know Sony want backward compatibility, but it makes me wonder might they help the cause of sales of 4K UHD TV's by also making the PS5 disc player capable of playing back 4K discs, and if it does, will the PS5 have Dolby Vision/ HDR-10+ ?
As a side note to this, Sony had been advertising 'Days Gone', which was released yesterday, at the PStore for AUS$99 in it's most basic form, yet we have a retailer here in Aus that was selling the disc version for $66.....who wouldn't want a disc player on a PS5 if things like that keep happening.
