Sorry, but no. You can’t blame stores because of covid shipping delays. Some things you just cannot control.
Which state
From Target? My headset is backordered but says ill get it by November13th. I hope so!
Sony themselves they said release date to PS Plus members who ordered directly from them
Bullshit. Companies all over the country (and across the world) are using covid as an excuse for poor customer service. Companies see this as a way to do things on the cheap “because of covid”.
There's a pandemic impacting the country, shipping companies were already struggling pre-covid and this has only made demand go up with a lot of people at home. They shouldn't have offered a launch date delivery option unless they planned to ship well in advance. That still may happen, we'll have to wait and see
Yup. Accessories are available for pick up now from target except headset and charging station. Either demand was high or Sony just didn’t produce as much as they thought it would sell for
New Jersey
NJ has one of, if not the most efficient, well connected transport centers in the country. Ocean, train, airport, major roadway all in the same place.
Yeah, they have made mistakes in the past, sometimes wildly wrong things and got into tiffs with the devs over their methodology (one racing game I recall). They use software to determine resolution since output resolution stays consistent, but render resolution can vary (you are always looking at the resolution your console is set to, but the frame is often upscaled to the output, so their methods are typically based on edges where colors vary distinctly, and not all games are easy to determine). They are a significant part of the reason the whole 1080p vs 900p debate was a thing back in early last gen, most people couldn't tell the difference otherwise - all it did was fan the fanboys on.
The person I talked to was the actual store manager who happened to be the person who answered the phone. I asked about the whole pre order deal and if there would even be any controllers left to give when launch day came around since they released that day and then she told me about having set them all aside at her store for the pre ordered customers. So they were aware of this, and I'm fully expecting a controller to be there when I pick it up on launch day. Of course I admit you could be right but it sounded like this had already been considered. But it will surely vary by store. I'll let you guys know if they keep their word or not.
Wouldn’t surprise me if ray tracing was a bigger deal next gen (ps6) seems like even the 3080 ray traces at a lower than 4K resolution. The reflected effects look very compromised compared to the real action being reflected. Almost like looking at a high res ps2/ps3 game depending on settings.
Don’t, just don’t.
I’m sure that 3rd parties on eBay and alibaba will be selling plates. Wouldn’t surprise me if they used the ps logo and used the real molds.
I have an Arctis 7 from 2017 which is apparently nearly identical to the 7p, and I can say that the actual sound fidelity isn't great. Music sounds bad, gameplay is OK but still not great. It has a kind of hollow sound; works fine for when I'm playing something social which is what I got it for. League, competitive games, etc. It definitely starts to feel uncomfortable after awhile...
This is from Canada. Hard to know if it’s region specific. Also, how I read it is you will still be picking up your preordered PS5 at the store you chose, they just aren’t having any on hand inventory seemingly for the foreseeable future.
This is absurd. He isn’t getting it for that price on launch day. If he wants it on launch day and is willing to pay extra he absolutely should. I would think locally $750-800 would be a fair price.
What’s absurd is paying $250-300 over MSRP for a console that has not much exclusive to it for months and months. If you have a PS4 already, chill the hell out and wait till more get produced. There is very little reason to be frothing over being “first” to have a PS5 when there are only a tiny handful of exclusive games (demon souls, a remake, and godfall?). Like yeah something new is exciting but there is no reason to pay almost 2x the price.
Yup. I just bought a evga RTX 3080 XC Ultra for $1175 from local seller. He only paid $820 at microcenter. So I overpaid $350 ,but this card is beast!! I wouldn't pay over Msrp for ps5. I can wait until its available in stores.
Thanks for the heads up- already out of stock from the PlayStation direct website... foiled again for me...
At least y’all able to pickup! Target was only shipping!
Patience is definitely a virtue. Not looking to get one until it's readily available for everyone.
I got my dual sense yesterday. My take aways the triggers are the best I’ve ever felt. The controller is finally centered and balanced in the hand. The two things that need a little adjusting to is that the analog sticks have less resistance which some may or may not like. Lastly, the triangle, square, etc buttons have less travel. Reminds me an Xbox button’s travel. Overall a good controller. My one dislike is that the plastic body feels cheaper like an Xbox controller. That also seemed to be my same feeling moving from
Feels very unplaystation like (in a good or bad way depending on your likes). I personally think it feels like it would be better at twitch game play. Still has more than enough resistance to be accurate. The ps1-ps4 analogs always felt the same to me in terms of travel and resistance, after 25+ years of owning PlayStation’s it stuck out to me as the biggest change. The change from ps3 analogs to ps4 really felt like more of a refinement in ergonomics, this is more a change in the way you play. Like I said before the triggers feel better than any PlayStation or Xbox controller. I was comparing it to a ps4, ps3, and Xbone controller last night.Great analysis, thank you! How much less resistance in the thumbsticks would you say it is? Like, barely noticeable, a lot, etc? I tend to accidentally push it all the way to the edges a lot during things that require a steady thumb as it is
