Cant find a Pulse headset for love nor money. Are there any off brand options that would give the same quality and i can get from a B&M shop?

If you don't want to spend too much i'd recommend the Steelseries Arctis 1 Wireless. Amazing set for the money and are multiplatform. (Well the Xbox version is).

I use the wired 1P on the playstation, and I can't complain at all about the 50 quid it cost me in argos.

The Artic 1 wireless is getting good reviews alright. Shame they seem to be hard to find as well :pac: 1st world problems

recyclops · 07-01-2021 04:00PM

I would say if going with the arctis 1 just look for the Xbox version and only as a just in case and you get a Xbox at some point or win one haha.

they are identical just the Xbox dongle is better as it can flick between usb or Xbox. I got a pair myself and I really cant fault them. Using them currently with xbox and dolby atmos and its incredible, looking forward to firing them up with 3d audio on ps5

I have the Arctis Pro Wireless and Arctis 1 Wireless and both perform better than any gaming headsets i've had in the past.
They must be sold out for a reason i suppose. :pac:

Any good online games I should look out for, got Siro installed during the week. Playing a bit of cod 2019 at the minute. Might go back in to destiny 2, used to play it.

I'm gonna have to weigh in and say that I find the Pulse headset fantastic. I don't get the hard leather, mine are super soft and extremely comfortable. I forget that I'm wearing it some times. Battery last the entire night for me, that's usually from 11.30pm until 8.30am. Only once have I got the low battery warning on them. Controller usually runs out before the headset.

Appreciate the input lads. With three kids I cant really justify €200 on a headset

Would ye have recommendations around a similarish price point?

I have the corsair Void elite in white , EBUYER are selling the exact same headset yesterday for 40 sterling absolute bargain.

Its a very good headset but even better on PC with the 7.1 and side tone options which are not available on the PS5/PS4

I have this for my PC, for 40 quid, it's a no brainer. I'd almost get a second.

However, the mic is crap on it but I use that maybe twice a year so don't care too much

R2 button on my dualsense has lost all tension and strength. The slightest input and it triggers. The haptic feedback barley works on it. Feels very cheap. And I've not used it that much being honest. Odds on getting a replacement from gamestop?

Hi, I posted about the same issue with my controller about a month ago in this thread. I initially emailed playstation but got no reply. So I contacted Amazon whom I bought console off, and they offered me a refund for the price of a controller so I said yeah and took it. At the end of the call I asked would they be sending me a pre paid box or whatever for returns, he said no, no need to send it back as the item was damaged and not fit for purpose.

He then said I should pursue with sony to get the other one fixed. So I ordered a new one on Amazon with the refund and when that came, I rang playstation ( I was on hold for over an hour) and they said okay they'll take it and have a look, so I sent it in their prepaid box and I got it back completely fixed 8 working days later. I've been playing with it for the past 2 weeks or so and no issues noted so far. So I've now got 2 controllers!

I know Amazon customer service is usually far superior than most but hopefully you can have a similar success story!

dingledosser · 08-01-2021 10:12AM

Did anyone who ordered the Pulse headset online from Currys (I know a few of us did) get theirs yet? I've had nothing. On hold (again) with Currys customer service now.

Unfortunately mine was purchased at Gamestop, they've told me they can't do anything with it until the lockdown ends. Recommended I go through Sony to get it fixed. Reassuring to know they got it sorted for you though!

They must have updated the mic as mine is good, Im a bit of a geek like that and on the playstation and PC the lads all said it was very good

Ironically not really playing any PS5 games on PS5. I got Demons Souls, which was probably a huge waste of money as I forgot how bloody annoying it is to play. Otherwise, not madly keen on Miles Morales, seeing it as more of the same having played Spiderman on PS4. Not much else piquing the interest in the way of PS5 games at the minute.

I am playing AC Valhalla which I understand is upscaled for PS5? It's brilliant fun so have been enjoying that. Otherwise am playing R6 Siege as always and will start with Outer Worlds or FF7 remake once that is complete.

Nothing on the Horizon looks that interesting either other than Hogwarts (which is miles off) and possibly Cyberpunk, if it can be fixed (the latter looks dissapointing anyway tbh, outside of bugs).

I think it's gonna take a year or more before you see fully next gen games show the console capabilities. On the plus side I never had a PS4 so I'm catching up on the titles I missed cheaply and with better graphics etc

God of War so far, mate also lent me Resident Evil 2. I've got the last of us downloaded and Horizon there too.

Give priority to TLOU!

GoW and TLOU are both 10/10 all-time classics, can't go wrong with either. Horizon is also fantastic. Mad to think that within a year someone could be in the lucky position of playing all 3 of these games for the first time as well as their sequels.

I'm legit jealous.

I'd much prefer the updated Resident Evil 2 to TLOU. And I think I'd also go for Horizon straight after RE2.

Cotts72 · 08-01-2021 02:02PM

I've a few ps5 titles but they've all been put on the back burner since I started Ghost of tsushima, it's unreal! Everything about it is top class

Days gone ain't too shabby either!

Having come from xbox I must say the PS4 exclusive titles seem to have something about them that xbox exclusives don't. I don't know is it just the storytelling in the games or what

It's because they are actually good

Kamu · 08-01-2021 02:21PM

Like others here, I didn't have a PS4 as I was emulating older games on the computer.

Just completed Days Gone, what a fantastic game, one of my favourites of all time. Next up is either FF7 remake, HorizoZero Dawn, GoW or RE2.

Ooh I'm not sure.

Yea I like Gears, I actually don't think Halo and Forza etc are bad or anything, they just don't interest me. I think MS have just been incredibly safe and limited with their exclusives, it has pretty much been Gears/Halo/Forza for about a decade now.

At least it seems they are looking to change that now, but they have seemed that way before too.

Unless you are immune to open-world fatigue, I would go with something linear next. Either way it is a very nice problem to have.

In the same both with not having a PS4 previously, The Last of Us is amazing, completed it there over Xmas. Playing MM at the moment and while good I am finding it harder to get into compared to TLOU.

Cheers,

I forgot I had Miles Morales to play too. I got the ultimate edition which came with the Spiderman, so I completed that (also a great game) but wanted a break from that style.

Not really pushed to play MM though, I completed TLOU1 on the PS3, I'll need to the the second one as well.

Ah my gaming year will be filled with classics.

I have always enjoyed GT but never felt a compulsion to play Forza. I gave one of the Horizon games a good try but I just don't like the concept of an open world driving game.
