Hi there, I'm trying to play some paw patrol and stuff like that games with my daughter who is turning 5 soon.

It is impossible for her to use all the buttons as needed (drive, turn camera , shoot with square, shoot specials with circle.....) because of the Dual sense big dimensions.

I tried really googling and trying to ask around for any smaller controller, and I found out people talk about a HORI WIRED MINI GAMEPAD, which I tried to get my hands on, but there are none around and I even contacted HORI and they said it's been discontinued .

So....are there ANY options that you guys might know about?

Thank you in advance ;)

So Halloween just flew by and I'm surprised no body asked this yet :)

What is the scariest game you have ever played and why?

Mine is definitely the infamous demo P.T.

That thing's just...nerve wrecking. The combination of claustrophobia, creepy room repeating and the fact that there's barely any music makes you listen a lot harder to things, and that's where it gets you.

So Sony is running 15x points on their playstation CC right now. That's 3x the normal amount, which comes out to like 100 bucks of extra PSN. You can sell the controller if you don't want it. I don't like white controllers. That's another 50-70 bucks. Keep the controller if you want it. Storage and GPU upgrade alone are following market conditions.

If you kept your console in great condition, the disc version is worth quite a lot these days still. That's another 300-400 depending on what kind of deal you have going.

In the end the Pro is a massively better GPU with over 1TB more usable storage out of the gate. It has more RAM and a very slightly better CPU. The thing is made on cutting edge 4nm process, which I bet was not cheap. Word and logic are saying PS6 ain't gonna be here until 2028. That's a long ass time folks.

Yes, Sony has gotten greedy where it hurts, e.g., PS Plus still pissed. But the Pro is actually a very decent console and is a nice package overall when you properly sell your old gear as long as you kept it in great condition with all materials.

People need to chill out. 750 after tax really ain't that big of a deal in the US for something like this in the inflation-infested world. Is it made JUST FOR YOU? Maybe not. That's OKAY.

On every comparison video I’ve seen of the base PS5 vs the PS5 Pro, every is stating how they can barely see a difference, and how it’s a waste of money.

The thing is, 99% of these comparisons are between the 30FPS Fidelity mode on the BASE PS5, and the 60FPS Performance mode on the PS5 PRO.

If you’re not seeing a major difference, than I don’t know how else to say it……. that’s the whole point.

The whole point of the PS5 Pro was to make the 60FPS Performance modes, look as good as they did at 30FPS on the PS5.

99% of you guys also say how Fidelity modes look nice, but 30FPS is completely unplayable, Sony understood that, and made 60FPS look as good as that.

We can discuss how maybe it should have been $100 cheaper, and how getting a disc drive and stand shouldn’t cost you over a $100 extra on top of that, but we can’t sit here and say there isn’t a difference between the PS5 and PS5 Pro.

Because 99% of you guys CAN tell the difference between 30 and 60FPS.

My guess is that Astrobot and Dead Rising Remaster will be on sale. What are your guesses?

Something is wrong with his gamma setting, these video look washed out.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has probably been the best showcase for PS5 Pro so far. At times it almost looks a generation ahead of the base PS5 version.

When I set up my new G4, I followed a couple different setup guide spreadsheets that were pretty popular and recommended among a lot of users for these newer OLEDs. Most of them all stated to leave 4:4:4 OFF for console gaming, but to leave it on for PC mode. Makes sense, since the PS5 has a bandwidth of 32 rather than 40-48 or whatever is needed.

I just turned on the 4:4:4 Passthrough and was surprised at how much more the picture popped. I mean, it looks awesome! Even using HGiG, it still looked great. Not that how I had it before (usually playing in a dark room) looked BAD….but when turning 4:4:4 on and off multiple times, “overly warm” is how I would describe the picture with the Passthrough off (my default temp is W50 anyways).

I also have been reading some articles and posts and apparently using 4:4:4 is fine, but it won’t allow 4K/120hz, only 4K/60hz. I thought this was a bust since I just paid all this money for a nice TV that could do it all, but then I looked up the list of games that support 4K/120hz, and was surprised to see the games I’m playing/plan to play soon don’t even support it: SH2, BG3, CP2077, etc. So would it behoove me to leave 4:4:4 on while playing these games, and then turn off the Passthrough if it’s a supported title?

The Pro will be picked up Thursday, so I don’t even know how that will switch things up, or if some of the games getting Pro patches WILL allow those titles to achieve 4K/120hz, in which case I’d probably be back to square one of turning 4:4:4 off unless Sony pushes a Pro system patch that unlocks the console bandwidth post-release.

FYI- I don't see it advertised that much these days, but gamefly is still a thing and it absolutely rocks.

Veilguard was a huge disappointment for me and I'm very glad that I rented the game instead of buying it; seems to becoming a more common theme as a lot of studios seem to be undelivering lately.

I'm sticking with my OG PS5 since it's still working 100%, but curious to see what others opinions on this are.

Looking for ideas to fix my boring controller, and want to see what everyone’s doing. Please name what you did and what you used!

Also, some Brazilian friends of mine who have already received the console also confirmed the information.

The console can output 8K but besides the screenshots so far the only game that has 8K mode is Gran Turismo 7 at 30fps.

If games can't concentrate on it due to the lag of immersion why not adding a media browser / streaming services window to the see through mode?

New menu entry when having the headset on PlayStation AR or something. Starts in see through mode and displays your streaming services or media browser?

Example playing games by Ubisoft on a PS5 really undersell the PS5 in general. For the case of the crew motorfest, it has 2 modes on PS5. Performance and resolution. Performance seems to be the default way to play the game, and resolution mode basically is graphics mode if it’s on then it seems to run the game under 30 fps and is incredibly jarring to play and it’s hard to see a difference especially if the game isn’t running well at all. So I’m asking about your opinion on third party games on PS5 from studios not under PlayStation.
