Might be good to avoid launch models yet again. One would think Sony would have tested temperatures and cooling more. Just see one article about it so not sure if real or could be potential issue in future or upcoming summer months in hot climates.

Not really a concern as no units have failed due to this. Besides Gamers Nexus's methodology of reapplying TIM and adding probes to a cured compound could have affected temps. Lets not spread FUD based on one test. If you watch he video Sony could update the firmware to increase fan speed if more cooling is required.

Also, new PS5 firmware released today. I updated mine this morning. More stability :P

One would think you have source of Sony not testing enough. Also one would think you read the article and that the component didn't reach maximum design temperature. Much more when you said Nintendo fanbase don't partake in console war.

We have some probable PSVR2 patents filed yesterday. Haptic feedback. Smaller profile, led sensors for fit/ajustments.

I hope Sony launches some faceplates soon. I'm really hoping for some PS1 special ones like they released the PS1 DS4 and PS1 PS4. I have yet to use my PS1 DS4 tho.

For your nostalgy that is certainly good

Niiiice. I want it much sooner than it's likely to be released though.

Good taste! I have my 20th anniversary DS4 and adore it. Hoping they'll also release a special edition PS1 grey side panel as well for us early adopters/standard PS5 owners.

Yeah, same. Sounds like it will be a while away. Imo this looks like a big upgrade in terms of size. Haptic feedback is interesting too. I can imagine them using similar haptic feedback in the DualSense in new motion controllers too.



I'm assuming this is just a general PS thread about anything PS related. I recently got a Japanese PS1 console and I already had some imports ready to play. Omega Boost was a gen ahead of it's hardware and that game with spruced-up visuals would play great on modern hardware. It and ZOE2 have aged very well. I also discovered a game called Wolf Fang and it's one of the better run n gun mecha games I have played. Lastly, while I had digitally on PS3 for years. Took 23 years but finally got to play G-Darius again since I first played it in my local game shop in 1997. This game made me love the Darius games. Finally, have Strider 2 on PS1. Oh man, this game is as good as ever. Living on cloud 9 playing this on a Japanese PS1.

Side note I had to take apart my PS2 slim to repair it. For a sec I thought the whole thing died but no,just a scree loos on the inside door latch. The laser was a little loose as well and tighned it and cleaned the whole thing. The easiest system to do a quick repair on.

It's always a good feeling when you manage to recall and get a hold of some long forgotten gem. I recently recalled enough details about a game to be able to find it after 20 years. The game is from 1998 and is called Get Medieval. I was 8 and only played it for a few hours (at the house of my then brother in law while he fooled around with my sister downstairs) but I had a fun time (with the game).

I downloaded it last night, and only played for about 2 minutes because it was late. Seems very basic, but solid for what it is, which is an 8-bit style shooter. For those who care, the game oddly, very oddly, has no trophies. I'm guessing because it was originally a bonus item that came with the game "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Infinite Combate".
