Yeah that feeling of a mega drive I had that! sonic the hedgehog and a year later I got the mega cd was amazingHad 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
Tomcat Alley - my most played Mega CD game, along with Snatcher and Road Avenger
Apparently you could have connected the 2 consoles directly together using a Ethernet cable.Had my Pro delivered from Very today, they quoted by the 29th so am happy it was sooner and on a Sunday.

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

Wingman FGC – Converter for PS5 Fighting Game & FGC
Global fighting community eagerly anticipates the release of Wingman FGC, which frees them from the constraints of the PS5 platform and allows them to freely choose their favorite wired fighting stick to use with PS5 games, with plug-and-play convenience and ultra-low latency!

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
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.
Probably for the best until the devs can do a proper job. I can't believe they even have a QA team based on what they released previously.
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.Aye £130+ seems expensive! Maybe I could go up to £80...

Sony’s making a handheld console to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft
Dust off your CD carry-case, you might need it.

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.

With the cost of game development, i really can't see Sony starting a new eco system from scratch. What i can see though is, a handheld that runs PS4/2/1 games and streams PS5 games - so basically a more powerful Portal.Sony’s making a handheld console to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft

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- with the sales pitch being buy the big console for your living room or the cheaper handheld for portable gaming and living room gaming
This also points to PS6 being compatible with PS5 games and potentially they may just run the same games with more cross compatibility, even worse than this generation, they'll just keep making ps6 games run on the ps5 so the new handheld can play them
We're in PC territory and it's only going to get worse, console generations as a concept are basically dead, there is no more generations, just mild hardware upgrades that run the same games or offer new methods to play
Nintendo is the only company that is still doing console generations and even that is probably about to end in 2025

They just need to make a modern PS Vita. It would sell bucketloads.

Without the proprietory memory card nonsense, and yeah it probably would.
It is a tricky one to love for Sony.
128gb SD card is expensive to use for a handheld at around $20usd each, but even ignoring cost the problem is the transfer speeds are too slow compared to an SSD so it will struggle with PS5 games.
So probably instead of game cards they can just include large internal storage on an SSD and make you download all your games, but that's even more expensive and other handhelds charge a big premium for storage - not great for a device Sony may want to market as an alternative to buying a full fat PS6

They went consumer friendly with PS5 extendable storage (unlike xbox), so hopefully they would continue that trend.
