Sony is brining a new power saving feature to the PS5. If you enable it, your PS5 will use less power while gaming and no it's not free - your games will have lower performance but at least you're saving the environment I guess lmao greenwashing Sony

Seems more like a by-product of adding in different performance profiles (as mentioned likely for the rumoured handheld) - adding the option and allowing devs to patch their games to ensure they can scale down (rather than just scaling up for the Pro), means that there should be a bigger selection of existing titles supported on day 1 for the handheld, rather than Sony having to "force" devs to patch and add Handheld support.

The bigger news seems to be that DualSense controllers can now be paired with multiple devices.

Ah this is great news! Every time I grabbed my DualSense for my PC I was always wary that I'd either accidentally turn my PS5 on or then have to re-pair it once I wanted to use it on my console again. That's a super change.

Just replaced the backplate on my Dualsense Edge with one of the extreme rate kits. The rubber grips on mine had started to bubble and peel away so was getting a little irritating to use, particularly as I've been using my controller a lot more to play DS2 this last week +.

Extreme Rate backplate kit was only 15 quid, arrived in about 5 days and was pretty straightforward to pop on! Matte colouring as well compared to the glossy on the original Edge so looks a little cleaner. It's a shame to not have the rubber grip anymore but I'll see how quickly I get used to it.

Mine arrived today and I fitted it earlier. Pretty straightforward once you get it started. I didn't bother replacing my release slider and spring.

Everything seems to be working fine and I can't say I'm missing the rubber grip so far.

Thanks for the recommendation! Top bit of kit.

Can anyone recommend a headset that has a decent microphone? Wired or wireless, I don't particularly mind. I'm currently using a cheap Turtle Beach and it needs replacing now

I recently bought the Turtle Beach Atlas Air headset, wireless with a really great microphone.

I wanted a wireless open back headset (not a fan of close headphones) and wanted it to work on my PC as well as PS5 - and was a decent price too (I think 125 after a discount code?). I've been using them for about a month now and they've been really great!
 
Anyone likely to get BF6 on PS5? Frustrating that it's 10 quid more for the PS5 versions - but at least with the ShopTo approach for PS Gift Cards you can get 70 quid worth of cards for 57! So it ends up being cheaper than Steam in the end.

I was involved in 2 of the labs play tests weekends (one back in April and another in June) and played both of those on PS5 Pro and it ran / felt really nice on controller, so likely going to pick it up on PS5 to start with instead of PC. Also very interesting to see the 'recommended' specs for the game are essentially a base PS5 equivelant!

I don't expect that we'll be getting a 120fps performance mode here but it would be good to see what they can eek out with the Pro vs. base.

Anyone want to try this beta out? Apparently 4 other people can use the code they sent me.

Further to my question about which headset to buy, does anyone here know if USB microphones work directly with the PS5?

I'm not sure about the USB mic question - but I've had my Audeze Maxwell's for about 6 months now and would heartily recommend them to anyone especially if you want a high quality mic. If you can get the Xbox version so that you're covered for all bases.

Not sure on that front but I have a usb sound card (Asus xonar U3) and that allows the use of a microphone as well as outputting sound too. I use a pair of DT770 headphones and I fitted a mod mic. With the U3 I can play games and use the mic.

So I suppose it is feasible that a usb mic could work but I guess it would be a bit of a chance to take, unless you can find something online to confirm compatibility for definite.
