And this without a disc drive. Unbelievable. It’s > $1000 (incl. tax) in Germany with a disc drive (If this is even compatible).

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.

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)

I’ve repaired 4 joycons twice each from 2019 up until now. Those stupid fucking joysticks…I’m buying a CRKD nitro next time I have to replace shit.

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.

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.

How is the bootleg ps5 controller market? I don’t have a ps5 myself but it seems like the obvious answer is to just buy the highest quality off-brand at the better price if you don’t want to pay more.

That haptic feedback on the PS5 controller is a rare feature that actually adds something to a controller. If there are third-party options with the haptics, I’d love to know about them, because they kind of spoil you once you get used to them.

Yeah the PS5 controller is about the only innovative part of this console generation. The adaptive triggers and haptics are just great. I use one on the PC and for the games that support the extra features they really do add an extra dimension.

I don’t have a PS5 but bought a controller. The first time I was playing a game that supported that feature, I thought my shoulder buttons had broken somehow. I suddenly had to press very hard after pressing the button halfway, and it was clicking. It clicked a bit later that it was a feature when it wasn’t happening all the time, just when doing a certain thing in the game.

The touch pads on the steam deck are freaky like this. I thought my left one was broken until I used it in a game compared to the os menu.

Also, motion controls are wicked awesome in shooting games.

Funny because I noticed the haptic feedback for the first time recently after owning my PS5 for over a year and was instantly looking for ways to disable it. I don’t trust an unnecessary vibrating motor not to fuck up the parts of the controller I actually care about keeping functional and the Dualsense battery life is abysmal enough as it is

It’s designed from the ground up for the haptics though, it ain’t going to break it.

I just got a 8BitDo pro 2 because every PlayStation controller for the last 4yrs has broken in less than 6 months and it’s great. Feels good, connects over Bluetooth, and has Hall effect joysticks that aren’t prone to drift, which was the Sony controller main issue. All for $50. I think I’m done with Sony controllers.

How is its compatibility with the PS4/5? Might snag one but am worried that it would be subpar compared to an original controller - for example because of a missing touch pad

I’m not sure, only ever used it with my PC. As for the touchpad, haven’t noticed not having it but I mostly play COD and older aRPGs.

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 🤷‍♂️
