GameStop is saying the red and black ones drop today on their website. I wonder if the physical locations will have them.

It's a real longshot for me but I "might" be able to get a PS5 for myself before too long here. I have been keeping up with this thread and have noted some of the "technical issues" discussions. All told, what are we looking at here? Typical bugaboos?
I’ve been playing mine constantly for 3 months now (meaning I play for an hour or two a night, but haven’t touched my PC) and haven’t ran into a single issue. So far I’ve enjoyed this more than my PC upgrade but that’s because there’s a whole catalog of games that have opened up to me. I don’t regret the purchase one bit. Plays gloriously well on an OLED too.It's a real longshot for me but I "might" be able to get a PS5 for myself before too long here.

I have been hearing that dual sense controllers don't play well with cellphone chargers. Especially high powered 'fast' chargers. charging with these can limit that battery potential.
as such, people whom had problems.with battery life, have reported much improvement, from using an official charger and/or charging from the usb ports on the rear of the PS5.
I'm not saying it kills the controller. I'm saying you may not be getting a full charge to the battery,if you are using other stuff. I brought this up, because people here have talked about middling battery life on the dual sense.I've just been using a standard 10-15W (5V 2.4A) charger on mine with no issues after 9 months now. I don't like to use fast chargers even on my phones to limit battery wear. If you're paranoid about using unofficial accessories, then buy whatever licensed/official charger you want I guess to keep at your couch. I have a 2nd controller as a backup already and aren't really worried about it. Same with my Switch that is allegedly picky about chargers and docks that I haven't had any issues with using unofficial chargers and docks with.
IMO if Sony and Nintendo shouldn't be using a standardized USB C connection if they didn't intend for compatibility with the standard USB charging at least. Then they can add to that standard for additional functionality like Nintendo did with its dock. The only issues I've seen personally are using those Qualcomm proprietary quick chargers on the old Dual Shock 4 controllers that were killing the controllers. Nothing so far like that for the Dual Sense controllers.

I have seen multiple reports of people who were upset with the battery life of their dual sense controller. But experienced much improved battery life, after using an official charger or using the ports on the back of the PS5.
I'm guessing the issues you speak of are from people using a weak sub 750ma charger or something if they're charging at all and not to full capacity while still in use.You may also use a charger that is compliant with the USB standard if you have one available. Please note, not all USB chargers will be capable of charging the DualSense wireless controller.
I've always charged my Dualsense through the USB-C port on the front of the console. The battery simply doesn't last that long. I can get 6-8 hours out of it compared to 20-30 with the Elite Series 2. It's a minor annoyance that honestly all wireless PlayStation controllers have suffered from since the Sixaxis.I'm not saying it kills the controller.

Strange. Sony says the rear USB-A ports are SuperSpeed (10 Gbps). Maybe your external drive doesn't support full transfer speed when using a USB-A cable?Not sure if this has been stated already.
I recently found that the front USB-C port works the best for external NVMEs. The rear ports (USB-A) give horrible write speeds (below USB 2.0 with testing), while the front USB-C port is lightning fast (~10Gbps from what I can tell).
Strange indeed. I'm using the ASUS Arion Strix case with a NVME. All usage on a PC with either USB-A or USB-C has worked fine. On the PS5, the ports definitely don't act alike.Strange. Sony says the rear USB-A ports are SuperSpeed (10 Gbps). Maybe your external drive doesn't support full transfer speed when using a USB-A cable?

yeah that's fucking ridiculous that it hasn't been enabled yet.Just give us the god damn enabled additional M2 drive already, fcken been months! Trash ass usuable 600GB ssd thats full when you install cold war and warzone.
I doubt there many people really rushing to pay $2-400 for NVMe atm. I agree it should be there but the cost is ridiculous atm for the average consumer.yeah that's fucking ridiculous that it hasn't been enabled yet.
VRR would be nice, too.Just give us the god damn enabled additional M2 drive already, fcken been months! Trash ass usuable 600GB ssd thats full when you install cold war and warzone.
I was a sucker and immediately bought the Seagate one for my Series XI doubt there many people really rushing to pay $2-400 for NVMe atm. I agree it should be there but the cost is ridiculous atm for the average consumer.
I'd sign up for it to get VRR support finally if they roll that out early for the beta users.Why would anyone sign up for this? I am not taking any chances bricking my PS5 to beta test for Sony.
Yeah, no optical. You'll need to use HDMI for audio or get a HDMI audio extractor (HDMI to HDMI & optical).I'm going to be a time machine for you guys here but I'll try not to bug you too much. No optical audio out. Do I see that right? Any workarounds? (Not a super big deal.) So far so good with everything.
I've just been using my headphones, which use a good old 3.5mm.Yeah, no optical. You'll need to use HDMI for audio or get a HDMI audio extractor (HDMI to HDMI & optical).
2.1 soundbar over BT for me. Works well enough, though I'd love to get a better one eventually...I've just been using my headphones, which use a good old 3.5mm.
Yeah, that's why I signed up for it as well. Capped at PCIE Gen3 for my NVME but it'll still be faster than USB-C 10Gbps.signed up for beta program, 1st update better be about nvme support so i can waste money on 2tb one

Only HDMI 2.0.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074HHSJVN?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Works like a charm. I really wanted to be able to use my headphone amp/DAC setup at certain times and now I can like per normal.
At this time, I only see 2.0. I wonder when a manufacturer will have an upgraded model.Only HDMI 2.0.
Ja, my displays are both still HDMI 2.0 as well.At this time, I only see 2.0. I wonder when a manufacturer will have an upgraded model.
Only HDMI 2.0.
It is a cloud service like Stadia. You can play what ever games they offer on it. Last I heard it was pretty buggy.what is PS Now on PC?...so I don't need to own a PS console and can stream any game onto a PC?
