People weren't kidding - this controller is seriously impressive.

BT bought DABS.com a good while back and rebranded it as the BT Shop so they've been selling electronics, PC components etc for a while.

Wow Dabs is a name ive not heard in ages.

Was about to write exactly that. Used to order a lot from them too!

Anyone waiting to order one tomorrow notice Amazon has changed? It went from your on the email list to not in stock. Also I book marked the link and it just redirects to a controller now.

Best bit in terms of feeling next gen, first time that Sony have had the better controller in my opinion. I still slightly prefer the in-hand feel of my XB1 Elite but the DualSense is fantastic.

Happy to see mines dispatched this morning. Expected today so well excited, only problem is working from 5pm tomorrow so won't have time to even set it up unless it comes really early.

Upside is next week booked off so going to have lots of fun on demon's souls PvP and making builds

Just played Demon's Souls for an hour and it plays fantasticly.

Good to hear, looks great in compressed YouTube videos too

Only watched the official videos on it avoided everything else, last time I played it was when I picked up a cheap PS3 when the PS4 launched so don't remember a lot of the levels.

Another 3rd party game that’s better on PS5

PS5 > S > X

S before X for me due to more consistent framerates.

However all 3 versions seem to have horrific pop in, draw distance issues.

Lovely jubbly. That's my evening sorted!

How many are you scalping?

I've been playing it on my XSX with no complaints (aside from the usual woeful AI which seems to have got worse since Odyssey).

Honestly I don't think there's going to be much to pick between this generation in terms of performance. A week in and I'm preferring my PS5 so far but that's down to the controller, cleaner/faster UI and Demon's Souls.

My PS5 arrived in Belfast this morning at 2AM!!!!

Work is going to be torture but have a feeling I will be home before it comes.

Going to nip to Argos and grab Ghost. 4K 60FPS sound tasty.

You can glitch the Currys website and order one, dont know if you will get one though. (thread on HUKD)

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Happy gaming to those of us that will be getting their PS5 today, and best of luck to anyone trying to nab one when they go live later... May Cerny smile down upon you.

 

[Plainsong]

Mine is at the sorting office in Chester. So close!

A few online stores are apparently popping some stock up on the day. 9am seems to be a common time across a few stores. Typical. I start first aid training course at 9am probably no chance to get one anyway. I imagine the sites will lock up etc the usual

Didn’t think they’re doing midnight launches?

I dont see anyone doing any at 12am?
