Concern trolling at finest lol this fucking guy. The contents inside are what are premium, not the fucking cardboard.

XSX unboxing experience and quality of materials used is miles ahead of PS5.
Like i said before, apparently every design decision on the ps5 seems to point in the direction of being able to mass produce as much as possible. And frankly, by early reports of pre-orders avaiblity, it seems to be paying off.

Have you seen the packaging and how huge it is? They could've made it more premium AND more environmentally friendly

It looks predominantly made out of cardboard.
XBox has a lot of plastic foam in it, and a lot more packaging in general.

I know that some companies get tax breaks for doing something like that.

I think it's ridiculous you are actually trying to defend this. Instead of just saying, yeah the packaging is pretty shit for such a premium product. You go into the defensive and try to find reasons why Sony might have done this. I'll tell you why. To increase margins, and be cheap. Classic Jim Ryan.

But you still have to pay Live to play it and at least Gamepass to get the full game. So in the end you are paying 5 bucks for a paint job.
The whole packaging by Sony, being with minimal ink, is simply more reciclable. Actually most of it I could put it in my garden compost.

Exactly. And the environment is fast becoming one of the major considerations for consumers. That’s why so many major corporations are committing to being more environmentally friendly.

Whereas you have found something you thought you could bash Sony with again, and I have pointed out why it can be considered a definite positive and not a negative, and you’re really not happy about that at all.

Also I'm noticed that this packaging thing is turning into some weird kind of FUD.
As long as the system arrives intact I doubt people will care about the packaging.

you are correct, Celsius and metric are indeed superior... but obviously the discerning gentleman will always pick degrees Kelvin instead...

They should've wrapped it in gold leaf and had Cerny kiss every 100th console off the factory line.

It's been a long time since I've heard Jeff this excited about something. This just makes me more excited to get my hands on one. Granted, at this rate, it'll be mid 2021. Guess I'll wait for CES 2021 to roll around and see if Sony moves to mini-LED for their 900 series.
How so? Using styrofoam? From what i see the box is pretty much cardboard, and thats great for its footprint.
Remember you have to make a box strong enough to withstand load of dozens of piled boxes and withstand impact for shipping.
When you have to ship millions of units, every aditional square inch or weight is a huge cost... i dont think sony engineers made those boxes bigger or heavier than they have to be.

This take is about as hot as the top of the XBSX
Why would a company spend excess money on something that gets thrown in the garbage or thrown into storage?

Lol mate, yeah sorry that I like Xbox so I can't comment on anything negatively about Sony. "Found something to bash Sony again". Sony fans always feel so quickly attacked, and immediately get defensive.
This is the PS5 v. XSX topic. The packaging is SHIT compared to XSX. Sorry for pointing that out when Sony keeps saying how premium their product is. Can you imagine Apple selling the iPhone like that?

I don't know if you own an iPhone, but for as pretty as Apple's packaging is, do you hold on to it like a memento? As long as it protects what's inside is what matters. That's why it's so big to begin with.

Don't worry my man. While the packaging might not look premium, they made up for it by having a premium looking console to sit alongside that dirty xbox

Well, 2 thingsXSX unboxing experience and quality of materials used is miles ahead of PS5.
Is the Xbox version the consumer one, or one sent to reviewers?
Second thing, seems like the Xbox is way less ecologically sound, and doesn't make sense.
Bonus thing: am I the only person that doesn't give two shits about the box?

The PS5 looks like a toy for 14-year olds.
Well yeah... Just because you have a picture that spreads it out like that doesn't mean it's not premium. Everything has its exact place, cut out properly. So that when you open it, you have the experience of a premium product. I know it will be thrown away in 5min, and it has nothing to do with the console itself. I think it's just weird Sony didn't put more time in this, when they are claiming how premium their console is. Is that so bad to say? Again it has nothing to do with the console itself.
You mean like this?

Don't get the console if the packaging bothers you so much.

You secretly are. You've been found. Thanks to the latest update for Sony consoles, I can now listen in to all your conversations about the quality of "shit you'll just throw out anyway". That was a direct quote from you. It will now be uploaded to Twitter, your boss, and unemployment office. Goodbye.

I'd say you can get your premium Xbox packaging, which is the only thing you can cling on to, and playstation buyers can get their multiple GOTY contender experience. I'm sure looking at a box is much better than using a console to play.

Something a 14-year old would say
Don't worry give it a couple more years and your eyes will mature enough to be able to discern true beauty like us men
Till then enjoy a box

I get why people like packaging and presentation to be on point. It's always nice when a company goes the extra mile to make even the unboxing an experience. In the end though....that excitement wears off in 5 seconds, and all I want is what is inside the box. People are putting too much thought into this. If the PS5 arrives with everything it's supposed to and safe, then who cares what the box is like? You're not going to care about the box 10 minutes later when you're playing games.

My god that's not what I'm saying. This shouldn't have an influence on your buying intentions at all.
So if it's a white box, no visuals, it just says PS5 in comic sans on it, and inside the power cable is unwind basically just thrown in, console also just lays in there and the controller is wrapped in newspaper. This is also fine? We'll just pretend that packaging doesn't matter anymore.
We still have a few weeks left hopefully. We need to get to 4k posts.

This is someone who has fully enlisted in the “war.” I’m reading the title of this thread now and nowhere does it say that’s it’s a versus thread lol. If this is what you want it to be, don’t complain when we mention legitimate concerns such as the lack of next gen games on a next gen console.

I never did. I even said myself that there aren't any next-gen launch games. I still have a backlog so no big issue for me, but yeah for people that wanted something new, the launch line up is pretty shit.
