Declaring both the Series X|S and PS5 will be available at the exact same time is a great way to to crash a website. Bold move Walmart.

Though since it’s Walmart.com, they messed it up anyway. The text says both 11/10 and 11/12 within the same ad...

Whaaaaa? Thanks for the heads up, my man!
https://blog.playstation.com/2020/10/16/details-on-new-voice-chat-functionality-coming-to-ps5/

For safety....

Once the PS5 console launches, if a PS5 player needs to file a harassment report, they will be able to include up to a 40 second-long Voice Chat clip in their report — 20 seconds of the main conversation with the other player, plus an additional 10 seconds before and after the conversation selection. Only the most recent five minutes of a Voice Chat will be available for a player to use for this reporting function.

These reports can be submitted directly through the PS5 console, and will be sent to our Consumer Experience team for moderation, who will then listen to the recording and take action, if needed. Some submitted reports won’t be valid, and our team will take this as an opportunity to provide guidance and education. There won’t be an option to opt-out of this Voice Chat recording function because we want all users to feel safe when playing with others online, not just those who choose to enable it.

PRC stipulations for HK users.

All HK Terms of Service are like that. Either you don’t sell products in HK/China or you comply.

Tempted - been really enjoying my consoles while I wait for a new GPU upgrade. Feels like every generation of new console gets me closer to where I'll be able to game primarily on a console and use my PC for web content/media consumption.

Have been considering a console, but one that would have games the Wife would want to play, which tends to be Mario kart..lol Sadly news of a Nintendo new console doesnt seem too certain but possible in 2021. For Xbox or PS, are you still "required" to pay a subscription to play any games online?

It's probably not. Although, they will counter that by agreeing to the TOS, you agree to be recorded.
Which is fine if I'm playing, but my son as a minor or people in the background in the house sure haven't consented. Also, in my state from what I read it's a Felony.

1.3. To accept this Terms of Service and User Agreement and create an account for PSN, you must be at least 18 years of age and have reached the legal age of majority in the country in which your account is registered.


If you are younger than 18, or have not yet reached the legal age of majority in the country in which your account is registered, your parent or legal guardian must create an account for you and agree to these terms of service in order for you to use PSN. Before you begin to use your Account, ask your parent or guardian to explain these Terms to you. We also encourage you to review the PSN Rules at https://www.playstation.com/legal/psn-rules/.

You consent for your minor. So it is covered that way.....

What's the probability that these will be sold out in minutes as soon as each time hits live?

As good as PS5 being scalped in a month.

In for as many as I can get. If the economy is headed where I think, I'll be that guy........

Ever since my 360 purchase with warranty, I only buy launch consoles with a warranty.
Anyone that purchases it through a person at a higher price without the extended warranty is a fool.

Except where would you purchase your warranty from? The only ones worth buying are direct from Microsoft and Sony. That said, I have upgraded my One X with an internal 1TB SSD so I will wait at least a year or more before I buy a Series X. Hope others get one, however, good luck.

They're not recording everything. JFC, this has been gone over before.
You mean like the link I posted, post number seven, in this very thread with their official statement on the matter. I read it and I still don't like it, but by all means enjoy the system I hope you were able to get one.

Yes, when you are the original buyer, you buy the warranty from the company that made it, Sony or Microsoft. They usually offer it at checkout. Scalpers will not buy it and it's not transferable.

No luck either. Got into cart but couldn't check out on the PS5.

I managed to snag an Xbox Series X already. It's a really nice piece of hardware. If you have a decent PC though, you aren't missing anything except the back compatibility...which is great.
