PS5 thread 2.0

I have that one too. Its a beaut.

Aye. Love the purple, have one paired up with the official purple plates on the unit and really feels at home.

Unfortunately that glossy centre is still the bane of the PS5 regardless of the plates. I know there's options out there to remedy that but never really looked into them (not a fan of DBrand either TBH). So I make do by just trying to keep direct light sources away from it, but joking aside, the purple tends to sit well with darker surroundings anyway so works for me.

In fact, the only change I'd like to see with the Purple Dualsense is perhaps a few black buttons. Something that's nice to see with the new Edge design.

Amazon Germany

Not the cheapest, not to mention the black commands a higher price, but at least they're the real thing. Worth a pop if ordering something else to help cover shipping. Just be careful to make sure you're set with digital or standard as Amazon tends to select version depending on what colours are in stock. Picked up a purple standard and a black digital a little while back and they showed up in a couple days.

If you buy these you're just encouraging Sony to never fix this bad design ...

I had the same mentality, so I threw off the mental chains and go something different.

Ah if you're careful, you'll have no problems.

ONLY thing that occurs to me is that there is an animation that only plays once when you set up the machine. Now if the wee man is unlikely to care, then I'd fire ahead, no harm getting a test done. Just take your time taking things out of boxes etc.

They'll be so excited to see a PS5, they won't notice that it has been opened already I'm sure!

The outer box is made of extremely flimsy cardboard that is very easy to rip, so you will need to be careful there. I don't recall the inside of the box layout being particularly complicated so it should be easy to put everything back into place. I suppose it really depends on your internet connection, whether or not there is an already-existing PSN account, what games you are getting with it and if they are disc-based. If Call of Duty is involved in any way I would absolutely crack it open and get that downloaded beforehand. If it something like Lego Star Wars you should be fine to open it that morning.

Either way the first game you should be playing is AstroBot and you can play that more or less straight away.

Had my account compromised last night, soembody got access and setup 2 step verification on it so that I can't log back in and had to cancel bank cards. Sony support is Monday to Friday which is a disaster. Has this happened anyone else before? Wondering what the likelihood of getting my account back is

PS5 owners, do you have your console in a vertical or horizontal position?

Vertical for me.

Vertical here too. I have the middle 2 boxes removed from this ikea storage unit with the ps5 in there instead so nothing can hit it and knock it over. Fits perfect.

I was considering doing that, but I felt it would be a pain to change discs etc from behind the tv.
