If the gap between ps4 and ps4slim is the same to this, ps5slim should come out by September 2023.

With the Black Friday deals, the DualSense is at an all-time low over here (64 maple bucks, down from 90-95). I'm thinking of grabbing one to use on PC but I heard Sony released a second revision of the controller with stronger triggers or thumbsticks I believe.

I read the updated controller should end with an "A" for its serial number. Can anyone confirm this?

My understanding is the blue, pink, and purple ones are all the new models, and presumably the black and white ones are mixed, not sure about red but I think it'd be the latter. Holding my pink one and the white that came packaged with the machine, you can feel the difference in the triggers. Wouldn't be able to say about the serial numbers.

Thanks for the info. I'm currently eyeing the purple and red versions but looks like I'll go with the former. "Baby blue" looks good too.

I was able to snag ps5 gow edition on Walmart for my big brother no Walmart plus needed

After 2027. 5 years to go!

PS6 Release Date Will Be After 2027, Suggests Sony Document - PlayStation LifeStyle

 

[Superhero 101]

Nice

 

[Drizzle]

And they'll probably still be making PS4s then.

 

[Iceman]

As expected. 7/8 years per gen seems like the new normal. Wonder if there will be any mid-gen refreshes this time.

Ps5lim is reported to come out neXt year.

 

[Superhero 101]

I’m kind of curious how it will look. is a pro version also rumored to be released?

A slim would be more compact (good thing IMO for PS5) but not more powerful right? Wonder if they will do the equivalent of a Pro this gen.

Oh nice. The gens are too long to still have 7/8 year old tech for the games near the end of the gen.

It would be cool if I get a ps5 before this gen ends.

You can get a PS5 when the PS6 is out.

I probably wouldn't need one, if ps4/5 games are compatible to ps6.

Would you get the newest console if it was available or happy saving money and waiting?

Get it if its easy to get.

So I ended up getting the Cosmic Red DualSense and it is the revised model. It seems all controllers being sold should now have the improved triggers and thumbsticks.

For reference:


Now I have to play a game that supports both the adaptive triggers and the haptic feedback, and see if the hype is warranted.

I like this ad but Sony is still refusing to let go of the PS4 two years after the PS5 launch.

My old controller actually had the stick drift problem but the new controller I replaced it with is a revised model. Funny enough, the stick drift was way more of an issue in in-game menus and scrolling apps on the PS5 home screen than it was during gameplay.

Of what I know is available for both, Kena makes great use of the triggers.

Oh right, I completely forgot about Kena. I just checked a list of ports and multiplats that support either DualSense features and Kena is not one of them unfortunately.

Hoping to get my hands on the Spider-Man games, UC4+LL or even friggin' Sackboy at an appropriate price tag next spring.

Naughty Dog used to be the undisputed best Sony studio but after Ragnarok, SSM are IMO catching up, and Insomniac with their insane production speed along with quality also have to be in the conversation.

 

[Drizzle]

You think back to all the "greatest hits" of Playstation over the years and odds are you pick any of those games out of a hat and it was developed by one of those three studios.
