I'm thinking to wait til near the end of the year, probably until gow2 gets released.

Absolutely worth it, without even talking about the improvements to games and the PS5 exclusives, the quality of life improvements of the system are worth the asking price alone.

Just get one as soon as you have the money and they are available.

Actually now that you mentioned the loading times that might just push me to get one

I'm definitely enjoying mine anyway.
All that processing power and I'm mostly playing crash bandicoot and hollow knight, should be ashamed of myself

Got my PS5 setup yesterday and had completely forgot about the adaptive triggers! Could feel them going really tight at random times and thought the controller was broken, my heart!

Loving everything so far!

Yeah it's cool when you use them, my R2 is gone really loose now over it, think spring is gone in it and few other people have issues with R2. There is a way to turn adaptive triggers off, I would probably recommend it for people if you don't like it or to extend controller not having issues over it.

Good idea actually! There's some games that I don't think I would want it on, so might switch off and turn it on when I really want it. Thank you!

Absolutely.

The visual upgrades and/or framerate upgrades have been incredible either for new games or boosting old games.

Loading times are now negligible across the board which makes a huge difference.

Astro's Playroom was one of the best gaming experiences of my life. I adored it. The PS Plus Collection deserves a huge shout too. I love the interface and the Dualsense too.

I couldn't be happier with it all.

For sure I will be doing it on my new controller much prefer it off and hopefully it won't break the r2 in the new controller.

It takes Spider Man 3 seconds to load, I’m still amazed every time I turn it on.

Im still playing assassins creed odyssey. More or less finished at the stage but swapped over to the PS5 yesterday and continued on with my save. My god, fast travel is actually fast. Makes such a big difference

Sorry
this doesnt make any sense to me.
Why go digital if you have the disc already.

I often do this to games I'm unsure on, buy it physical just in case it's crap, and if it isn't I usually trade it in and get the digital on sale. Got the Gold edition via Ubi, so only need the base game now. Will be trading in the physical copy.

But the price is showing today, previously it wasn't so all good now.

Anybody have a broken up button on the dual sense d pad ?

Brand new out of the box and it’s busy. Rest works fine

Mr.Fantastic

Anyone having issues with their controller , got a second one and the triangle button is now unresponsive , other controller works fine looks likely I will have to send it to Sony.

Pain in the arse resynced it and everything never dropped either , barely used tbh

Potential-Monke

Did ye try a controller reset with the little hole on the back? Just to be sure.

Have the same issue with one of my controllers.

Sony really have to get a handle on the controller issue its a fair amount of people having issues with it and the console isn't even 3 mths old. It's a great controller but needs to be working properly and not breaking or having issues after this length of time.

How far away are we from seeing 120fps on warzone? I see they released an update today which runs some games as ps5 instead of ps4.

It's the best game on the system so far.

coz it's a jolly game with good vibes.

Astros playroom, just like the VR game before it is just fantastic. If you play it and don't like it then there's probably something wrong in your head. Give me 5-6 hours of that over 100+ hours of cod or the like any day.

Markitron

That game is a great comedic platformer, a showcase for the PS5's capabilities and probably the single most effective nostalgia trip I have ever experienced.

And it was free.

Just an update on this think its a software bug got my housemate to try his PS5 and it worked fine.

So will hold off sending it off to replacement as unsure what it might be latest OS update.
