PS5 |OT| now with PlayStation Portal

Sucks with your steamdeck. Is that a common thing people have reported? My joycon was fixed for free because so many people had joystick drift.

from what I looked into it is reasonably common.  lots of FAQs on how to dismantle the steam deck to repair it.  

I'm too lazy to do that.   tried to fix my vita once and made things a lot worse.

i know gaming usually has price decreases over a generation.   this generation's price decrease is not increasing at the same pace literally everything else you buy...

good stuff all around.

What's the point of the welcome screen? Just another thing to click past 99% of the time.

what's the point of https://vizioneck.com/ when i bookmark https://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php so that i can bypass clicking passed your homepage?

home pages are pretty common practise.   ps5 already has one it's just not very useful.   the new one lets me customize the widgets and has things that is clearly more informational than what i'm currently offered.   + backgrounds.     i think its a change for the better.


i hope they have a widget for the ps+ extra games catelog.   i find it very annoying to get their from the ps+ icon.   they should know i'm already a subscriber and stop defaulting me to the "learn more and subscribe" area.   i already bought so stop trying to sell me on it.

You're proving my point my man. I'd rather just return to whatever app I last opened.

i customized my ps5 home screen now.

i didn't like how a couple of the widgets worked (like "wishlist") but all in all it was really easy to set-up and some of the widgets are really nice.  i like my homepage now.

That's such a silly bundle hahaha. Portal makes sense but you can practically guarantee anyone buying this is an uber gamer and already has a PS5. What are they going to do with three consoles? My extra PS4s all just sat together collecting dust. Tried giving one to my mom as a roku equivalent but it was too big and too complicated.

They are separate items

ohhhhhh i love the look of the portal.  I definitely want one of those dualsense's though.  I'm still on the fence for ps5 pro. But I think i'll likely skip. I do hope they have anniversary console covers for the first ps5 iteration

though they do already have the sterling silver cover for it, but I like the colored PS logo. Nostalgia overload

Those Anniversary editions look amazing. That edge controller is gorgeous.
