Yeah... I ordered one. I'm a sucker for these novelty things.

blackblades125d ago

So I guess you bought the refrigerator to? Its funny with all bs from certain people about the portal, vr2 and other hardware from Sony y'all willing to buy a toaster and a refrigerator of a Xbox

Plague-Doctor27125d ago

"Who is this even made for?"

darthv72125d ago

Yes... and yes to the other items you mentioned.

porkChop125d ago

I'm not saying the Portal doesn't have a use, but a fridge and a toaster literally have an everyday use that anyone can make use of. Why wouldn't people buy that if they like the look of it and it suits their needs?

If Sony made a George Foreman style grill that looked like the OG fat PS3 I would buy it in a heartbeat. Why? Because the PS3 was awesome and I use indoor grills.

Like what point are you even making? You're comparing products with niche use cases to niche products with everyday use cases. Apples and oranges.

S2Killinit124d ago

MS is trying to sell something to the PlayStation fans, even if it’s not a console. money is money.

Asplundh124d ago

Even alot of the usual Sony fans were saying portal was useless, it wasn't just xbox fans.

Cacabunga124d ago

At least an Xbox that can be used for something

Gamingsince1981124d ago

@porkchop

The xbox fridge isn't even a fridge it's a low quality cooler, that doesn't even keep things cool and can't take more than a can of drink .......

It's got about the same amount of processing power 😉

Einhander1972125d ago

So it can't actually toast bread, just warm it up a bit. 😉

DarXyde125d ago

It's fine. You don't have to waste money on actual toast. Just get Bread Pass and you're good to go.

S2Killinit124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

MS new metric, 5 million sourdough toasts burnt. 😉

purple101125d ago

toast your game disks in it, - cos they will be worthless next-gen, I reckon

Leeroyw125d ago

We just bought the rights to cheese. You will be good to go for the next ten years.

tbagmonster125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

other than amazon, where will people buy discs nex gen. in america other than gamestop which is junk and might not be around ,we have no where to buy games in store. they might as well go all digital

porkChop125d ago

Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and literally every other big retailer that sells games.

tbagmonster125d ago

bestbuy stopped selling discs, targets gaming section is a joke. i havent seen walmarts gaming section but in reality there isnt much left

Sephiroushin125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

bestbuy stopped selling physical media from movies dvd and blurays not video games, who needs more than amazon ? they get shipped dropped to your door step!
do not get me wrong, it certainly could be bad if they were the only one because prices would not drop, but they really arent but people buying day one would have no problem at all…

Hofstaderman125d ago

Will they actually release bread for it, or buy entire bakeries? Kidding.

Plague-Doctor27125d ago

Day One releases on Xbox GrainPass, the best meal in gaming

Knightofelemia125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

So now there is an Xbox that is actually suppose to show red and get hot.

20 Best PS1 RPGs of All Time

Cultured Vultures: Where would the PS1 be without RPGs? It’d no doubt still be a massive seller thanks to bandicoots, clones, and halfpipes, but half the cultural institution it is today? We’re not so sure.

While most of these games are great to amazing, most are not actual RPGs. Faux RPGs if anything. Turn Based Adventure Games for a more apt description, with Diablo, Brave Fence Musashi and Star Ocean as Action Adventure games.

Again, all great games without a doubt.

Diablo IV is Available on PlayStation Cloud Gaming - Beats Xbox to the Punch

Diablo IV is now available to play via PlayStation Cloud Gaming! Still not available to Play on Xbox Cloud Gaming.

We ran our script again and found 15 other PS5 games (a lot of popular ones!) that got PS5 Cloud Gaming support within the last month as well.

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k42d ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas2d ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

jwillj2k42d ago

You not running into the problem yet has no bearing on my argument. You’re acting like the medium is the shield for you being able to always play your games when it effectively is not. The game code itself can try to connect to a server or the console you’re playing on may receive an update that requires that game to connect to a server. Just because you haven’t ran into it doesn’t mean anything lol you don’t own your games no matter how you try.

Hugodastrevas2d ago

So I have never run into the problem you're talking about and your answer is an hypothetical? Look I can play any game of my library offline right now without issue.
That issue is in your mouth and alone.

Crows902d ago

Actually...there's an easy way...don't connect. If it doesn't require a connection and you don't connect...the code can't update...obviously....confused why you don't get what he's saying.

outsider16242d ago

Hold on..lets say i dnt have an online connection, can i atleast play the game offline though. Was thinking of getting this

jwillj2k42d ago

None of you use your brains.

OK, let’s explore this playing offline. not talking about Diablo specifically just gaming in general.

Are you going to buy two PlayStations? One offline one online? If not, moment you want to play something that requires a connection you’re cooked.

Does game experience you love so much stay the same offline?

Is the game even playable offline?

The whole point of my argument is that we don’t hold the keys anymore. The gatekeepers are the developers and console makers regardless of whether it’s digital or physical. You altering your play style for a lesser experience is not a workaround, it doesn’t solve the overall problem.

None of this matters since the move to the cloud is inevitable.

spicelicka2d ago

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan2d ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka2d ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing692d ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto2d ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

Einhander19721d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

Tacoboto

Please stop talking about PlayStation Streaming, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just explained this to you the other day where you were telling people that remote play was their only cloud solution, because apparently you didn't understand how PlayStation Premium works even though PS Now was a thing since shortly after the launch PS4..

You can stream to PC and Mac, and they had mobile clients for it in the past but probably for the same reason Microsoft is fighting Apple and Google PS Now wasn't allowed on App stores. Which is why it's not on iPhone and Android still.

And to be honest, I am glad they are trying to keep it on the console, all their moves away from the console seem like a step in the wrong direction, which isn't working so great for Microsoft...

anast2d ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

Crows902d ago

Well they're about to release the next season...I think that might be way they're pushing the game again.

anast1d 18h ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but D4 isn't doing that well either.

UnbreakableAlex2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k42d ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Crows902d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Diablo 3 was really hard at launch....then they made it easy.

They love scaling difficulty though.

anast1d 18h ago

D2 is the pinnacle. I still fire it up from time to time.

GrmpyolGamer 2d ago

Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus

Lots of fond memories with the Gameboy. It was my first portable console. It's also the last system my parents played as games were getting too advanced for them outside of pinball, Mario and classic Donkey Kong games. 🤣

Cacabunga3d ago

I never had one but some school friends did.
I still remember the magical feeling of playing motocross and mario bros 2 (i think).. gaming addiction since that very moment

victorMaje3d ago

I’ll never forget opening that Christmas gift. I was ill, had a fever, and was screaming with Joy :)

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I still have my original GB that I opened up on Christmas morning way back and donkey Kong game it came with.

Still works to I recently picked up a ever drive for a decent price and have been rediscovering some of my all time favourite games like Pokemon, super Mario land 2 and links awakening.

Amazing little system with interesting development and release story.

The story of how Tetris came to be a pack in has been turned into a movie it's that interesting

P_Bomb3d ago

I remember the audio being pretty ace back in the day.
