PS5 thread 2.0

That blue one is very nice. I have the GOW one, the cosmic red Dualsense and the Spider-Man Dualsense.

Used to have a purple and white one but traded them in.

Picked up the Pulse Elite yesterday. Only have a few hours on them and they seem grand. I cam only compare sound quality against the Arctis 7P+, the difference isn't much that I've noticed yet. I'll need to play the same game part twice in a row with each to know, so will try that in the coming week.

The headset itself feels flimsy. The shape is odd, but I do like the headband setup. The cups feel very loose, and I could already tell they would be a weak point as the cups are attached by a single swivel behind each ear. It doesn't give you a feeling they're strong...

Buttons on right side, easy enough to use. Seemingly can pair with a second device as well as the PS5. Will try it with the C2 at some point. Having EQ options out of the box is great. Something the Arctis was missing, and the Arctis app is broken by all accounts. Comes with Standard, Bass Boost, Shooter and 3 customisable profiles, so the same as the original Pulse. Will Google a good setup at some point. Won't be using them as much as I used to due to a job change so will take a while longer to really get the feel of them. No comment on the mic as I'll never use it. Some reviews range from grand to terrible for the mic.

And it may sound bad for the headset, but the box impressed me the most tbh! Lovely origami type job,and I do like a good box.

Yeah, I'm not a mic user so wouldn't be able to help you there. It's supposed to be grand. Just a warning if you wear glasses, the led lights at the tips of the earpieces may reflect off them. I've the smaller square glasses so don't notice it, but bigger ones apparently reflect it.

Smyths probably be the best option now. Or Amazon

Just gonna have to straight up buy it and hope CEX give enough for the base model to not want to go to the bother of selling privately. I would sell it on to a family member discounted, but I have literal thousands of hours on it. They'd be better off buying new. Just hope Smyths get a good stock. Harvey Norman may get a few, and with the demand that was around for the PS5 when it initially launched there may be other legit stores getting some in, Tesco, Currys, etc. I'm quietly confident it'll be minimum €600, if not €650 so hopefully the price will allow stock for a while! I've budgeted for it either way, didn't get my PS5 till day 2 and that annoyed me no end so I want the Pro day 1!

Do Smyths do preorders anymore? Or just first come first served these days? Was so much easier to bring the old console into Gamestop, get a meh trade in price but upped by my Level 3 card to somewhat decent discount off the new one. I used my PS4 Pro and God of War 2018 (PS5) against the SX and got it for less than €100. No such deals this time. Just relying on CEX's history of decent prices and greed increasing it!

Smyths did preorders for PS5, I booked my one there. Then I traded in my PS4 Pro and One S against the Series X in GameStop, cost me €600 for both.

I have a feeling cex won't offer enough to entice a sell to upgrade to the pro and couldn't be bothered with hassle of adverts. The ps4 pro was a disappointment anyway so i will definitely hold out until the pro goes on sale.

I never had a pro but don't belive there any pro exclusives. More a case of some games were enhanced for the pro, but all still worked on normal ps4

The launch Pro had its issues with noise. Most of the time it was a lot quieter than the base PS4 I had, but in some menus and maps it would go mental. I always remember the map of Horizon Zero Dawn especially, I could barely check the thing to see where I was going because I'd have to exit out of it so quickly.

Ahhh, the more you know. The 7216B was the version i have. Dodged a bullet then

A missed opportunity if it's not on vr

If they want to make money from it, it would be a bad idea to make it for VR unless it's just a VR mode.

I'd say it may also get a bump in sales when the drivers are sorted out to connect it to a PC.

Yeah, the addition of Steamlink support on the Quest 2 and 3 is great. It opens it up a lot of games that aren't available on the headset or too intensive for the internal processor to handle.

I don't care what way it comes, just give me more Astro already! A PS5 version makes sense, it will reach the biggest audience as noted above with the VR2 sales details. But this also allows them to make sure it's awesome, which it will be, and allows time after the fact to maybe release a VR mode for VR2. Excited for the DualSense integration, should be the masters at work to really make the DualSense shine.

Thanks CEX and Smyths for another new controller, this one cost me 4 euro. I went with camo as it's the highest value controller Smyths have and down to the same price as the rest, i like a bargain. Not sure what I'm gonna do with the analogue sticks and a home button though....

On a serious note, If you zoom in, there's a really nice detail of tiny ps symbols all over it.

Just did the same. I'm a bit weird in that the coloured ones wouldn't go with the console so I traded the black one into CEX for €49 and got a new black one for €50. So €1 to upgrade. CEX nearly didn't take it as the barcode was more or less worn away from the back of it.

And just to note, I have the newer 1B model now. From what I can tell, its mainly just revisions to the size/shape of internal structures and no real change to the previous 1A model. Some reddit users saying the buttons are squishier, but I don't notice a difference other than this one feels, well, new. I don't have the old one to compare to, just the Edge and the Edge has more resistance in general.

The Cobalt Blue is the one to go for. This is mine:

I was gonna joke that it will be a remaster of Astro's rescue for non vr but I'd actually love that. Have to keep expectations in check though, the state of play is usually awful.

The list of titles has been leaked online (supposedly).

The one I saw wasn't optimistic at all. 😂

Ah you wouldn't have seen it.

Completely missed the State of Play was tonight. It was only after I realised I had just missed the Silent Hill Transmission that I spotted it on YouTube!

Silent Hill 2 finally has a release date, October 8th. I don't even know what else I'm interested in this year...

Also looks like there's a gameplay video on the PlayStation channel. Gameplay video gives the impression it's a full on reimagining, interesting.

It's just for the registered trade mark.
