Had my Pro delivered from Very today, they quoted by the 29th so am happy it was sooner and on a Sunday.

Going through the data transfer process now, thinking this was a mistake as it is slow as anything over my network... doh!

Not installed the disc drive yet, thought I'd do that once it's up and running.

It's not the same feeling as getting a Mega Drive for Xmas as a kid but pretty close :)

Yeah that feeling of a mega drive I had that! sonic the hedgehog and a year later I got the mega cd was amazing

Apparently you could have connected the 2 consoles directly together using a Ethernet cable.
 
PSSR has been removed from Silent Hill 2, the game now looks identical between base ps5 and ps5 pro

They removed a ********* of shadows while they were at it, looks really flat now.

Thankfully, I grabbed an ultrawide QD-OLED for 450 quid so I'll probably play it on PC along with AW2 and all the games that struggle, not even waiting for Wukong as it won't hold 60fps even with a Pro patch, no chance.

Wanted to splash out and buy a Pro tomorrow along with the screen as I have a discount available but I'm so unimpressed with the console now that I don't think I'll bother. I'd basically only buy it for Rebirth, GT7, Stellar Blade and improved fps in Elder Ring but, hey ho, I have those on disc and the drive is nowhere to be found still.

Is there any easy/not heniously expensive way to get an xbox type controller for ps5? Want it to be wireless too.

Got my ps5 slim today and don't like the controller (never have for any PS). I've seen there's this adaptor but not wireless

Razer Wolverine Pro 2 is the closest I've found so far to an Xbox elite on the PS5

Only problem is this controller has the back paddles in weird spot, but it's fine if you dontt care about that, also it's expensive

Aye £130+ seems expensive! Maybe I could go up to £80...

Also, does the ps5 haptic feedback on the triggers make it feel like there's more resistance in the trigger? Was playing god of war and thought my controller broke :D

I am doing that now, let my user and save games finish copying and once it restarted had 99+ hours to go for 600GB...

I was worried about clicking the "cancel and delete" option as there are comments saying don't do it, you'll brick it etc.

But it was fine, can run the transfer as many times as you like. I copied over one small game as a test, then Spider-man 2, both were fine so have the other few hundred gig going now.

Depending on the game, the feedback can be quite fatiguing on your hand. It's possible to tone down the haptic feedback, or even switch it off entirely.

Oh FFS, all the hoohah and demos pre-launch you'd think it would be there for day one.

Anyway, cheers for the heads up.

Ran this at 8K or 8k UHD if you want to be accurate. Really couldn't tell the difference , maybe more noticeable on a smaller set with a higher pixel density but not on large screen ( unless you plant your face a few feet away ) . 4k@120hz it is then.

It says they are targeting ps1-ps5 games on the thing, so probably won't launch for few more years as handheld are too slow and expensive. Probably see Sony and Xbox both launch handhelds at the same time - they may even launch alongside next gen consoles
