asked this separately but maybe better asked in here:

I see you can get a one year sub on cd keys for 25 euro but that can only be used on a US account, do people set one up? or is it not possible?

Anyway to get an irish sub cheaper?

I've always had a separate login with a US account an EU account and an Asian account.

That way you can get the best offers on all the stores.

Signing up to plus on anything other then my main account though I never bothered.

Brief video showing how the triggers implement the resistance features. That's pretty damn cool.

Will you be able to turn that off? I can see that feature being an absolute nightmare with my carpal tunnel.

It's down to a game by game basis whether or not it's implemented, so it really would depend on the developer. Nothing official has been said about being able to disable it as far as I know.

I’m starting to get properly excited for the console now. The controller along with 3D audio is going to be a welcomed change to just pushing for better graphics as most gens have done

I hadn't pulled the trigger on any accessories or games as wasn't sure when the console was going to arrive with the lack of the Gamestop updates. Slightly regretting that now.

Should have picked up the Pulse 3d headset and controller charging station before they ran out of stock everywhere.
May figure out what games to pick up now, could go the download from play store route.

same here didn't expect the pluse 3d and charinging station to run out so quick.I would thought they would had good supply of them.

I think it's a case of the detail and lighting being brought to modern levels, but the underlying animations remaining more true to the original, which is probably necessary to keep the gameplay the same.

I've never played it either though, everything I heard about it just puts me off, I don't see the appeal of extremely high difficulty games, I have limited enough time as it is without having to replay sections over and over.

Pretty much how I feel myself im waiting till very last second to pass judgement on this version anyway. Soon as reviews start coming in should know for sure if its gonna be a ball breaker or not ha.

I ordered a 3rd party venom charging Dock on amazon for £14. Had one for my xbox and found it great might be of interest to some

Any chance of a link to that? Can't seem to find it on Amazon.

Cheers, can't explain why that didn't show up in my search. Thanks for taking the time, appreciate it.

Looks by the pictures that the charging attachment has to be plugged into the controller constantly. Just to be aware as it could be annoying to some.

This is why I'm holding out for the official one. My PS3 has an after market one and it's not great, my PS4 has the official one and it's brilliant. Only shame like the rest of the stuff is the newest version is white.

Will the external hard drive I use with my ps4 just plug straight into the 5 with no issues?

For those who were asking - https://twitter.com/__caprica/status/1321947831943499776 - Confirmed you can turn off the haptic feedback and the trigger resistance on the Dualsense.

Pretty sure Sony have said this will work yeah! I think it's even on the box of them.

Well from the PS website, it seems you still don't get a cable with separate controllers:

4 Cable not included. To connect or charge the controller use the USB cable supplied with the PS5 console.

No idea if that means it's USB-C to USB-C though. I did find this in a UK Metro site, but still don't know what it clarifies, other than an ancient USB-A beside a current USB-C on the front:

The PlayStation 5 has a standard USB-A (black) and a USB-C port on the front and two USB-A (blue) ports on the back. Apart from the USB-A on the front they're all rated as 'SuperSpeed', meaning they can run at up to 10Gbit/s compared to half that on the Xbox Series X/S.

The fact that you can turn off those controller features makes you wonder why we can't use the DS4 on PS5 games now that I think of it...

Is the PS5 controller charger cable USB-C to USB-C? Don't think it is but seems people unboxing it keep mentioning the USB-C port and say it's for charging the PS5 controller. What would it be for, I wonder?

The cable that comes with it is USB-A to C. Not sure why there's a USB-C port on the console itself.

The Move controller 2 pack didn't come with USB cables either which was really annoying.

Got it as an update on the Google Play Store was just there when I went into my apps.

Ya, I've no idea how someone was able to play games on the account really weird but kinda scary ha.

Did you disable it as primary console for your account?

I'd contact sony asap
