PS5 is still not in stock in abundance, like you can't buy when you want it. So I won't say its supply issues have been solved.LOL, I was saving every dime I could maketo get this, but it was always out of stock.
And now that I got a GPU, this came in stock.

How did you miss last week's sale on Amazon? It was available for more than 30 mins!! Once I was browsing Amazon in early morning and spotted PS5 in stock, lol I was happy seeing it even though I wasn't going to buy it.LOL, I was saving every dime I could make
And now that I got a GPU

yes, it seems demand is less. Many people were WFH back then, but now people got busy. Also the current layoff scenerio and fear of recession is stopping people from making unnecessary investments. Many like me got graphics cards as well. And many PC users can try most games for free.
Also, I will prefer the upcoming PS5 pro.

Lower demand + better supply, both I guess. Even few months back PS5 used to get OOS in few mins.
XB Series S seemed like it would fail on paper because of specs & price, but due to lack of availability of non disc PS5, it became a hit when demands were high. Also, I know someone who had a Series X, recently sold it off because his WFH ended.

Yes, Sony increased production volume. Good thing is that now Scalpers will have huge inventory with them (which obviously they have to sell in current price)

warranty may not be an issue since you register the product with your PSN account for first time.
but the bad thing I feel is PS5 games are not exclusive anymore. Sony is releasing all AAA games on PC.
PS5 users : Sad
PC users: Happy
Good thing about PS5:
Optimize 4K playback @120fps and no worries about GPU upgrade
PS5 haptick feedback controller experience.
Another good reason of PS5 availability is the leaked release of PS5 Pro around the corner.

Buy a yearly subscription would be cheaper than buying each game separate.
I don't own a 120Hz 4K TV. But will buy one in future
But one difference I noticed while watching a demo 120Hz TV is that the motion is super fast. Even the 23~24fps Movies run at 60fps in a 120Hz TV

Check if it's actual 120hz or interpolated 120hz. Some manufacturers mislead people.Buy a yearly subscription would be cheaper than buying each game separate.

That is MEMC at play to interpolate 24fps videos to 60fps. I don't like the soap opera effect it creates, checked it on some budget TVs as well as a Panasonic one. Maybe higher end TVs like LG or Samsung or Sony 120Hz models have better MEMC, but didn't spend extended time with it.Buy a yearly subscription would be cheaper than buying each game separate.

On the Panasonic TV at my parent's place, MEMC at low makes it feel bit smoother than MEMC off but without the soap opera effect. Maybe at low it is interpolating 24fps to 30fps & as 30fps is half of 60Hz refresh rate, it looks better than native 24fps.
On a separate note, Hisense U7H is a good budget 120Hz TV at under 45k now. This makes 120Hz 4K TV affordable. Although LG OLED, Samsung QN90B, Sony X90K, etc will be on a different level quality wise.

If you want PS5, buy PS5, as simple as that. Diwali sales are 5 months or so away. You will get good card discounts now. I think there's enough PS5 demand to not warrant price cuts any time soon.There is a good discount on the PS5 right now. Is now a good time to buy it, or should I wait until the PS5 Slim releases instead?
Or can we anticipate a bigger discount during the BigBillion sale ?
