Getting the bad news out ahead of the PS5 Pro announcement tomorrow it seems
FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS
You were $100 off.
Damn… originally it was rumored to be the late ‘00s meme price. With how powerful the regular PS5 is, I don’t see the value in that… even more if you want a disc drive? That’s close to mid-high end computer price.
I had to check your profile to see if you’re the coworker I was just messaging about this who just corrected me about this lawl
also furry gang uwu
Sony sees they finally have no real competitors in the console market so they reverted back to their most anti-consumer form and mindset
Fantastic. I sure hope they also keep adding in Sony account requirements to their computer game (I will not sign up for a Sony account)
They’re already more than I want to spend…
It’s damn near a hundo
There’s better controllers for half that price
But got damn are the triggers and haptics ever fucking dope (even if they only work with a couple awesome PC games)
Really wish Sony would just allow DS4s to be used for PS5 games.
My favorite part about hacking systems is when someone makes other controllers compatible.
In using my Xbox controller on my hacked Wii U.
Bloopair FTW
I just bought a PS4 to hack …it’s on 11.52. Pawn shop I ordered it from said they upgraded it just to make sure I could play games on it. How thoughtful of them :(
That blows. I never had a ps4, so I don’t know the whole deal about modding/rooting it. It is crazy that some of these devices have “fuses” that can brick your device if tampered with. It is my device dammit.
I think up to 11.0 can be jail broken.
Yea if the company no longer is updating the product I should be allowed to have root access. Open source when your done making money on it.
No to be fair, I understand why NOT. Based on software sales. But still. It’s why I always stick with PC gaming and consoles are the guilty pleasure. I don’t pay for online or anything.
“fuck you give me money”
Much as I’ve come to hate Xbox, this could be the beginning of signs of monopoly - they don’t have so much competition anymore, so they can do what they want. Certainly doesn’t help that unofficial controllers have never been good.
Lol damn. Glad I’m a patient gamer.
So am I, but I’ve gone through pretty much every PS4 game worth playing so I want a ps5
I just got a PS4 like last week. I have They are billions…and that’s it. Although I’m really only interested in spiderman.
I have gone on top 100 lists and have played every top PS4 game or PS4 game above a 7 rating. But they’re done making new games for ps4. I don’t know why I got downvoted for that 🤷♂️
Yea you shouldn’t have been downvoted. I’m just waiting for the jailbreak to come out to start tinkering with it. I bought it to bust it open and run Linux and such. Not really to game.
I heard about this. Why are people jailbreaking their ps5? Like to do what? Wouldn’t that get you banned by psplus?
Piracy for most. I just wanna run Linux ony PS4. And do some light coding and such.
I didn’t think pirating on consoles was even possible anymore with all the license verifications
My newer PS5 controller suddenly started refusing to charge when plugged into a USB - the PS5 gave a warning that the charge was too high and it made my PC’s USB slots stop working for a bit after plugging it in. Glad they made that alternate way of charging at the bottom, as I got a charge stand and it worked.
ok sony is getting desperate
I guess my plan to hold out for the Pro to see if the regular console drops in price isn’t going to work.
Long tangent, but I got the Edge or whatever stupid expensive version they have for the extra triggers/levers underneath. I have really small/short palms and don’t have the reach to push all the buttons properly. I wouldn’t be able to play Elden Ring at all without them. I roll and use potions with the levers instead. Even then, it is still painful after a while and some of the contortions I have to do at times can be annoying.
I have the issue of barely having enough “wrap” with my palm and pinky to grip around the hand things that are angled down a little too much. I absolutely despise that the dpad is one of those rocker pieces underneath instead of individual buttons. I will accidentally do a direction I didn’t intend because I rocked the down button too far to the right. It is because the controller still isn’t straight when I hold it. lt is partially rotated in my hand so I can get a little more reach upwards and it makes the dpad usable. Having to compensate the direction of joysticks is super fun. I basically have to death grip the controller with my right pinky and tightly squeezed palm to keep it stable.
When that accessible controller came out for the Xbox I was super bummed it wasn’t for all platforms yet. Doesn’t help I would need to have 2 kits to be able to have separate sides like joycons. Joycons have been my favorite controller of all time as I can comfortably hold them. I tried making a proof of concept sort of gel/shredded memory foam cover, which did help, but it didn’t solve the severe pain in my palm, especially the area under my pinky that I use to death grip the controller. After seeing the glove Martina made after she cut off her pinky, I want to try and make a glove next to take the pressure off, improve grip, and sort of brace/support the part of my hand that I keep hurting.
It sucks that accessories keep getting more expensive. I haven’t had any issues my my edge, but you bet I would be utterly infuriated if it didn’t last when it is almost half the price of the console itself. I have some mechanical keyboards and those things can really get up there in price too. Ergonomic mice are not exactly cheap either. I hate having to use a trackball but so far the only comfortable one is that Logitech one and I have to use the extra angled base it comes with. I game with it.
I have an XBox 360 controller lying around that still works great. I have a couple DS4s that still work great even though the rubber started coming off the analog sticks. The one Dualsense I bought crapped out after a single year of moderate use.
5 USD, this is just taking the piss now, things cannot be allowed to get cheaper anymore. I’m glad 8bitdo exists, at least they don’t have stick drift lol.

But they have this crazy rumble system that is used for 2 games that you really need.
The new Duelsense features are used in just about every single game on PS5. I have yet to come across any AAA game even from a non-Sony publisher who doesn’t use them.
