DF Direct Q+A: The Big PlayStation 6 Pricing Debate + Will It Support Physical Media?

from Digital Foundry Direct Weekly · host Digital Foundry

In the wake of pricing discussion at the end of DF Direct Weekly #258, Rich opens up the question to the audience: how much would you pay for PlayStation 6? And will it support physical media? If a Sony handheld arrives, how will it play your older PlayStation titles? And moving away from next-gen Sony, will Project Helix have configurable memory options? And if you're not so interested in consoles, is there actually a good time to upgrade your PC? Finally, with Crimson Desert offering so many different options at this point, should console users just get the full PC graphics menu? 01:14 Supporter Q1: How much would you be willing to pay for a PS6? 23:31 Supporter Q2: Will the PS6 have a detachable disc drive? 27:39 Supporter Q3: Can Sony square a PS6 handheld with existing physical game libraries? 33:46 Supporter Q4: Is this actually a good time to upgrade my PC? 39:41 Supporter Q5: Could Project Helix have configurable RAM? 44:48 Supporter Q6: Should Crimson Desert offer PC-like settings configurability on consoles?
