PlayStation has been pretty tight-lipped about its next-gen console, with only its controller, logo and some spec details unveiled. However, we will finally learn (a bit) more about the PS5.

Jim Ryan, the President & CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced via a PlayStation Blog post today that a digital showcase about the games launching on the console will air next week. The event which will run for "a bit more than an hour" to introduce "the next generation of games" from various game studios.

While it was not clarified if we'll finally get our first look at the console itself or get more information about its pricing, Jim Ryan assured that this event is part of a series of PS5 updates and that after next week, they will have more to share.

The online PS5 event is planned for next Thursday, June 4, at 1:00 pm Pacific Time which will stream on Twitch and YouTube.

Well even if I am mainly Nintendo focused, Im interested to see what Sony will show regarding PS5.
The takeaway I got form the things currently; they are massively looking into how data is being loaded and requested when it comes to games .... which should benefit preventing load times perhaps all together (or very minimal).

I hope Nintendo at least looking into that as well. Sue they can't and should not even compete with the PS5 but if they can do something about loading in regard to the 'new' Nintendo Switch ... well that would be very welcome.

When they first started digital games dumb me thought digital would be cheaper than physical. I mean they're cutting out the middle man they don't have to manufacture any discs so I thought for sure it'd be $10 cheaper at least and go down in prices faster. The opposite is true, physical is cheaper and go down in prices faster. That is why I prefer physical, if they would stop being greedy and make digital cheaper then I'll go digital.
the only thing remotely good is that i don't need to pay the 6% sales tax for digital ganes that might change sooner or later since ebay/amazon or any other online store charges tax because of damn congress

Sometimes you can find some decent sales right now Xbox One has one and I picked up Forza Horizon 4, Need for Speed Payback, Soul Calibur VI and Tekken 7 for about $67 including tax. The key is to wait for a good sale like this IMO. I also wanted Dead or Alive 6 but it was $59.99.

I am off topic but w/e.

Seems Black lives doesn't matter anymore,
Cauz All lives matter too.

We've been saying that all lives matter for years, but a lot of people still mentally exclude black people from that.

So they need reminding about black lives mattering.

It's kinda obvious really

I disagree with that. The videos of looting depict folks of a certain race. I was saying that foreign collectivist media is leading people to that conclusion, including my girlfriend's mother -- which is dangerous and horrifying. Maybe I stated it poorly.

People will look for an angle to make black people look bad. The way I see it, black people are the same as everyone else so there are criminals of all colors. If you are in area where there are a lot of black people who having nothing to lose, then they are going to take advantage of the protests. But that doesn't mean black people are bad, just that people put in that situation will steal & we've disproportionately put black people in that situation.

It's like breaking someones leg and then when they come out on crutches you kick them away, then complain because they can't stand up straight.
