It’s £209, I think. I’m not in the UK.

Due to high demand, there is a limit of 1 controller per household.
Yeah, right.

Got mine on Thursday for only €200 at GameStop as part of their membership offers. Very happily surprised as I had gone in to pay the full €240.

Speaking of controllers, just to double check, an officially licensed PS4 arcade stick will work on a PS5 native game, right?
Just want to pick up a cheap one before the prices skyrocket and I can’t see any adaptors that will work with my old 360 madkatz one.

They do? I thought PS4 controllers will only work on PS4 games on ps5.

I think that’s just DualShocks. Peripherals like arcade sticks and racing wheels are backwards compatible with PS5 games.

Cool, just wanted to double check. I usually play fighting games on the PC but I think SF6 is going to be a bit taxing for the old rig so a PS4 stick is going to be cheaper than a new GPU.

Just goes to show they could let you use dualshocks for ps5 games then.
There is a dodgy version of SF floating about Nick if you wanted to see how it runs on your pc. Don't know anything about it but saw an article about it the other day whilst browsing.

I might have a look, ta. I missed the first beta and got a key for the second but was away while it was on, annoyingly. Even if it ran like shit, the sensible thing would be to just get a brook adapter and get it for the XSS but I do like eBay…

But why let you use your old controllers when they can charge you $80 for a new one? 😬 I’m guessing they don’t care as much with specialty peripherals because most of the money there is going to the manufacturer.
But they definitely learned after they got hammered for not allowing PS3 sticks to work on PS4 initially.

One month away from a new DLC drop, I can't understand why Bungie don't put the whole of the Destiny 2 up to and including Witch Queen expansion onto PS Plus at this point. Surely that makes more sense for new player retention and long term revenue. The new and lapsed players will buy future seasons and Lightfall if they stay. And they are more likely to stay if you don't confuse them and most likely put them off (cost) if they have to buy two old expansions on top of Lightfall to have the whole game.

Curious timing for D2 to pop up given the expansion launches at the end of Feb. I was hoping they'd put that on PS+ too, but seems a bit less likely now.
There's no real incentive for me to play on PS over Xbox if I want a quick couch session.

Especially since Sony owns Bungie now. It’d be a no-brainer to have all of Destiny free with PS Plus to entice people over to your platform.
That said, I almost bought Olli Olli World a few times, so happy to see that on the list.

PSVR2 not off to a good start, then.

Yeah, a very niche product with a very high barrier of entry in regards to price and barely any advertising. No one could predict this!!!

Looks like they've just halfed the shipments due to poor preorder numbers.

The thing too is that, when you compare it to headsets on the PC side, it is actually a good price. It isn’t cheap, but VR headsets are a niche luxury item, and something like the Valve Index can cost double what Sony’s asking. But even beyond the price, not everyone has the space for a VR set up, and those who might’ve been interested and took a gamble last time were put off when they announced that the first headset’s library isn’t compatible with the new one.

Yeah it's not expensive for what it is, but also a lot of money to drop on something with an uncertain future.
