Earlier this month, Japanese media outlets and influencers were given hands-on time with the PlayStation 5. Meanwhile, there have been no hints as to when Western media would receive similar opportunities. It seems the days of wondering when new impressions of the console will arrive is pretty much at an end. At least some media outlets are finally getting their hands on Sony?s next-gen hardware.
Jeff Bakalar, video editor at CNET and co-host of The Giant Beastcast, tweeted out a gif this morning of a boxed PlayStation 5, presumably sitting on the floor of his home or work space. See Bakalar?s Twitter post in the link below:
