I bought it because I needed back paddles for one specific game and that is the only game I use mine for.

If you do get one the first thing you should do is replace the backplate and add grips. Sony used some kind of padding on the inside of the grip that yellows and bubbles after a little while.

And mine also had a very slight drift in the right stick right out of the box. Luckily since the Edge has settings, I was able to adjust the deadzone for that stick to eliminate it that way (only because it was very minimal).

I’m agreeing. I have 3 controllers and I don’t need any more. Really only need one, but whatever. That bubbling and yellowing sounds terrible. I’ll stick to my regular silver, purple and white. All with grips.

Does anyone know if you can set your storage devices to automatically sort alphabetically, permanently, and not have to manually switch it with the arrow on the left? Thanks in advance.

The Sony Rewards program is shutting down. Make sure you check your account. I was only using mine to get free movies. They had a buy 5 Sony Pictures movies get a free movie code program. I logged in today and I had enough rewards points to get $35 in PlayStation gift cards. Make sure you don't let your points go to waste. They have all kinds of rewards.

The new trophies want you to hunt down four special DLC characters, but at present, only one has been added to Astro's Playroom. The free DLC also comes with an expansion to Astro's PlayStation Labo section that contains a timer counting down to Astro Bot's PS5 release date in September 2024. One would suspect that as we get closer to the launch of this sequel to Astro's Playroom, we'll see more of these guest characters appear. There are also at least a bunch of new PlayStation hardware-themed collectibles to unlock from the Gacha machine, including the PSVR2."

The first character they released is from Bloodbourne and solving its puzzle gets you the first trophy.

The next update is up and the second character you unlock is Selene from Returnal.

How is that an ‘exclusive’ article when the title is just a question? Do they have an ‘exclusive’ answer from an actual source, too?

I’m betting the models shown in that photo are AI mock-ups and not genuine either.

They look like legitimate wifi routers to me! :mad:

And it’s an answer to a question his own tweets prompted. Hucksterism at its best! But despite all that, I did like what seems to be a recent taking-of-the-temperature of this whole thing.

And for sure, those are AI-generated mockups or fan art or something.

Does anyone here have and use the Playstation Portal? Your thoughts?

Yes. Love it. Use it more than either my Switch or Ally these days. It's not OLED but the screen is beautiful. Thanks to just being a remote device, it's both less bulky and lighter than other handhelds. I also find it more comfortable, basically being a dual sense split apart.

I haven't used on public wifi but it's been lag free in my home or at a friend's place with good internet. Played through the majority of Erdtree on it and have played Jeanne D'Arc exclusively on it so far.

I agree it's super convenient and light. Very nice screen. Surprisingly comfortable to hold. I also have the earbuds, which are nice but too expensive.
Works good at home. Wasn't able to connect to my home PS5 from my office wifi.

Lego Skywalker Saga is a great game if you don't already have it. Of course I already have it.
No opinion on the other two.

Oh man, I just bought The Skywalker Saga about a month ago. Oh well, fun game regardless.

Ender Lilies is a fantastic metroidvania. Highly recommended to anyone that's a fan of the genre.

The third character appeared in game to unlock so only one left. They are all standing in front of the new portal with the Astro Bot game countdown timer to release.

I'm sorry, I've asked this before and couldn't find post, but when do PS5 Plus free games open up to download? Thanks in advance and sorry again.
