Sorry guys wrong thread.

 

What you gonna play

 

Ghost of T, spiderman remastered and madden (lol I know but i have a free ps5 version)

Although my TV cant do HDMI 2.1, im looking forward to 4k/60 fps with my OLED (or just buy a gaming monitor)

4k/60 fps is cool though right?

 

When was it available?

 

Missed out again.

 

Earlier today. Wario posted on Twitter and I saw it ten mins later. Womp womp

 

If anyone is still looking I was able to get Spider-Man Demon Souls bundle in my cart on GameStop. I didn't buy it because I don't want either of those games. Going to keep trying for a non bundle.

Edit: never mind. It won't let me check out. Says out of stock.

 

A bit of a warning for PS5 users... it's possible I'm just staggeringly unlucky, but starting to seem more likely that there are some pretty serious QA issues with the DualSense controllers.

So here's my journey with PS5 controllers so far:
1) One came with system I got from Sony Direct. This worked for about a month before the right trigger's resistance completely went away; I assume broken spring. The button still functioned but the adaptive trigger aspect did not, and feather-weight would press it.
2) I ordered a second controller from Amazon in order to scam them for a replacement (yes, dick move, but they've been dicks to me in the recent past so I don't feel too bad about it!). This particular controller is still working okay for nearly an entire 2 weeks! Woohoo!
3) Replacement for "defective" second controller arrives. Rumble function is so loud it can drown out TV shows my wife is watching, unlike correctly-functioning controller #2.
4) Replacement for replacement arrives. Same issue as #3. At this point Amazon won't even let me replace it again so I'm instead returning it for a refund.

So to recap, of 4 controllers:
1 had the trigger break after a month
2 had defective rumble on arrival
1 working correctly for not quite 2 weeks, who knows if that will hold up.

So now because I'm paranoid about the fragility of these controllers I've actually turned adaptive triggers off at the system level, which sucks, because it's a really cool function.

 

Mine is working great. 99'ers get better gear because we're influencers @tinman

 

I’ve had both of mine since day 1 and they’re both still working good maybe just luck of the draw.

 

Classic Sony. Half-baked ideas that needed to be put back in the oven. The reason I wont buy their consoles again.

 

Nah that controller is baked perfectly. Best thing about the console perhaps. Definitely the most surprising. Astro's will blow you away. Don't let hulk hands @Drexlerfan22 scare you.

 

Influencers ?
We’re the past, present and future of technology

 

The Elite controller had quite bad issues too though that led to them needing to extend the warranty. And Joycons had widespread issues upon launch. None of the big players in the console space have been perfect.

 

It is not that the controller has issues, It is how Sony responds to those issue. Microsoft extended the warranty for the Elite Series 2 (I have one), but can also get a 3 years warranty on that $180 controller for $20. The 3 year extended Warranty thru MS for the Xbox Series X is $49 (covers 2 controller replacements...). Sony does offer and extended warranty on their console. You have by thru whatever retailer...which is going to be more expensive. Tells all you need to know about Sony. I had issues with them with a PlayStation and then a PS3. Had no problem with MS fixing a RROD. It is about backing your products.

 

Microsoft and Sony need Elon to teach them how mass product products quickly and efficiently with robots

GIVE THE PEOPLE THEIR SYSTEMS SLOWPOKES

 

Wild speculation on Switch Pro... I'm enjoying the lite, but I'd definitely like a bigger, brighter screen.
