Published

PS5’s two editions and their prices have been announced, the digital edition of ps5 without the disc will be available for 399 dollars while the normal PS5 with blu ray disc option will be available for 499 dollars. if we convert these prices into Pakistani rupees then for a digital version of PS5 we have to pay only 66k and for normal edition, we have to pay around 83k. it is also expected that the prices will be much more than the simpler conversion rates since in Pakistan we always get prices, not on the basis of the conversion rates but the price that has been set by the market.

On the other hand, if we compare the prices of Xbox s series that is being sold for 299 dollars only and since it also does not have a disc option then it could be noted that it is a way cheaper console as compared to PS5 digital version. 299 dollars means you have to pay only 50k for a console, that is very cheap and most of the normal configuration PC’s can’t be built with that amount. So, if you are looking for a next-gen cheaper console then it is the best option for you to buy. Now let’s compare the digital edition of ps5 and the x box series s console on the basis of their specifications, and their especially their chipsets and on the basis of ram.

As you can see that we are getting 10.28 TFLOPS, 36 CUs @ 2.23 GHz Custom RDNA 2 with PlayStation 5 digital edition that is very impressive that is equivalent to RTX 2080 super which is of 160k in Pakistan. Therefore, for 399 dollars its nothing but a steal also we are getting 8X cores at 3.5 GHz. Ram is 16 gb GDDR6, while on the other hand, the XBox series S is relatively offering lower performance features. For instance, it is offering 4 TFLOPS, 20 CUs @ 1.55 GHz Custom RDNA 2 GPU, 6 TFLOPs less than PlayStation digital and around 1GHz less performance. Not only this the storage is very low as far as X box series is concerned 512 GB of storage while on the Playstation, but hefty storage of around 1 tera bite or around 825 gb is also being offered. All of these specs indicate that PS5 digital version is the best steal and the deal that you can get in 399 since it is giving the best indicators of a true next gen console as far as performance is concerned.
