The best PlayStation console for next gen.
on December 4, 2020
Posted by: Miacosa
Verified Purchase:Yes
For next gen first party Sony games that are best in class there is only one choice for you. Furthermore. even though Xbox Series X had a smaller edge in performance on paper when the rubber hits the road PS5 tends to run third party games just as well and in most cases better. Overall, the system is good but it does need some UI and functionality improvements with regards to storage. There is no doubt that Sony will improve the console and since it's difficult to find I would wait if you cannot pay MSRP.

Pretty Good Mouse

It's a good wireless gaming mouse with a battery life per charge that seems to hold up. The Logitech G PowerPlay Wireless Charging System looks neat but so far not needed.

The new Apple Pencil makes note-taking, writing, and drawing better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap. Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation); iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation); iPad Air (4th and 5th generation); and iPad mini (6th generation).

Nice but pricey

Works but is overpriced, since, the battery as a limited life cycle it eventually will get recycled. Turning it off is overly complicated.

Worked great on an older TV up until a few months go when for some reason the HDCP warning keeps popping up. The Roku itself is good, however, I wish they would add a Twitch app,

Tightly-screened high-frequency memory chips power your PC through faster processing, rendering, and buffering than ever, with onboard voltage regulation for easy, finely controlled overclocking.

A distinctive solid aluminum heatspreader keeps your memory cool, while ensuring wide compatibility with a huge range of motherboards and CPU coolers. With a limited lifetime warranty as your guarantee of reliability for years to come, VENGEANCE DDR5 continues a long-standing legacy of memory performance.
 

Any issues running two sets for a total of 64gb, with all four DIMM slots populated on AsusStrixZ790-E. Would this be stable with XMP profile enabled? Memory is on QVL list. Any one having issues with this Dual Channel on any Z790 or even Z690? Thanks!

Not sure about 64gb, but running 32gb on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI motherboard (DIMM A2|B2) seems buggy if the BIOS memory settings are other than Auto. The PC will not post if XMP is enabled at least for me it doesn't post. Hoping for a motherboard update past BIOS 703 will fix this issue.

Meta Quest Pro is a virtual reality system that unlocks new perspectives into how we work, create, and collaborate, so you can go beyond what was previously possible. A completely reimagined headset is slimmer and more well-balanced for long-lasting comfort. Breakthrough high resolution mixed reality passthrough uses full-color sensors to let you see and engage with the physical world around you~even as you connect, work and play in virtual spaces. Multiple room-sized displays let you skip between tasks to get more done, more easily. Connect better with friends or collaborate with peers like never before with real-time avatar expressions that mirror your authentic facial reactions. Intuitive, redesigned controllers dispense with tracking rings, using self-tracking cameras to capture a greater range of motion and fine motor controls to translate detailed finger operations like writing and drawing into VR. Advanced multi-point haptic feedback makes virtual interactions feel more real. Meta Quest is for ages 13+. Certain apps, games, and experiences may be higher.
 

Are the side shields for the Quest pro included with the purchase or are they an additional cost? Not sure what actually comes included with the $1,499.00 price tag. There is no txt with the picture of included items. can you list included items?

The light blockers are extra:

Unleash the power of the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe Gen4 SSD for next-level computing. 980 PRO delivers 2x the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0, while maintaining compatibility with PCIe 3.0.~ ~The NVM Express~ design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc.* Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs.PS5 compatible with heatsink as recommended by Sony; heatsink sold separately.
