TO be fair to the Xbox they are not as big as I thought

Hopefully PS aint much bigger

I like Microsoft's attitude this time around, they have been very frank and open about the system. They have the attitude of someone who got their ass kicked and genuinely want to do a better job this time around.

Sony seem kind of back to their old arrogant selves.

Is it true that PS4 controllers will only work on PS4 games? A scummy move.

It's really not - it's been standard practice since games consoles have existed that new ones come with new controllers that have new features the old controllers don't have. You can't use a 360 controller on an Xbox One, you can't use a Wii controller on a Switch, and you can't use a PS3 controller on a PS4. I'm amazed how many people are surprised by the PS5 doing something that has always been completely standard and normal.

Microsoft are making moves to eliminate the concept of generations, so that you've the same 2013 controller features with your new console as the old one. But Sony are sticking to the practice of generational improvements that has always worked in the past.

(If you're being pedantic, with the help of adaptors and jumping through hoops you can find ways to use older controllers on current gen consoles, the same will probably prove true with PS4 controllers on PS5)

Yes. Tbh I do understand why they did it....

To rip off their customers by forcing them to buy a load of new joypads despite the ones they already have being perfectly fine? I have 4 PS4 pads, paid about €50 each.

You can set up push notifications and it rings an alarm when it detects stock! Good luck

Yes. Tbh I do understand why they did it, but they completely invalidated their own argument by announcing 3 major PS5 games as also coming to PS4.

Only downside is you need a UK address

If you're exhausting heat upwards you've physics on your side...it's a better start.

A strategically placed duct for compressed air to blast out the heatsink dust would be a godsend too.

Most of them will have missed the boat I'd have thought with the short notice

They're more likely to be the ones entertaining the scalpers cause they're panicking about not being able to get one for Xmas

A desperate move, but if any kind soul is willing to offer an unwanted pre-order I'd be much appreciative.

Need one for Christmas (not launch day) for a young man's present, and starting to worry now.

Hi try harvey norman was in there yesterday the guy said sony hasn't contact them yet on how many they get so you might be able to get one in there at some stage.

Youll get one for Christmas easy.
No way Sony arent going to have enough his time to meet Christmas demand. If people dont get them for christmas they'll wait a year until next christmas before buying them.

Yep my last resort is buy a second hand PS4 + FIFA 21 if I can't get one.
Will look at PS5 then a year or two later.
