I am down for a two-tone box, but, I really hope it isn't just another tower. I think it will look a lot different than the XsX

Well I'm glad your controller has held up for you, mine didn't. I didn't over charge them and only kept them plugged in when they needed it, but after a while, they constantly needed it. I am personally not a fan of internal batteries which necessitate full controller replacement, from my perspective, that is the more 'anti-consumer' situation....

Going by the new controller colorways, Final build of the console one hunnit % will have sexy black/white finish

this design is completely ruined by the weird looking bluray drive placement at the bottom there in combination with the 2 glowing buttons on each side this looks like a robot face with a giant forehead lol. and would be awful for airflow since it would block a big potion of the bottom of the casing.
this would look way better if A: it didn't bulge out on the bottom, and B: if everything would be vertically oriented IMO

Console reveal is going to be epic.
I wonder if they will do a teardown on the same day or if it will be revealed at an event with games, price, UI, etc. etc. and then the teardown later.

The console reveal will undoubtedly be the biggest social media gaming related event ever (well, to that point), if the reaction to the DualSense controller alone is any indication anyway

At first I was skeptical but I actually like the controller a lot. Wouldn't mind it the ps5 had that color scheme.

When you compare the way the PS5 controller looks to the way the XSX controller looks, it really does make the XSX controller look cheap and old. What if the system does too?
It feels like if the PS5 has some weird sci-fi look to it that is immediately recognizable as "new" and "futuristic" it will just make the XSX, a matte rectangle, look cheap and old.

Wow this looks great. Industrial, sleek and in a form factor that we are used to. Having seen this, now I will just be let down with the official design when it's revealed... This could be the final design man.Another concept art PS5 (web LetsGoDigital)

They were thinking what was the best design for optimal airflow for that monstrous APU.
I wouldn’t knock Sony at all if they went with an odd console design, especially consider their console may end up delivering more heat. I don’t think anyone wants a repeat of the PS4 Pro launch version with the jet engines.

This is why internal battery is bad. After years it can break, expand and make the device unusable. Of course there is a place for internal battery but with controller, they could just make 2 versions or sell it with removable internal (battery pack) that could swap for AA

playstation people are really weird. It's just a controller and it's a warzone over it

I know. I've opened mine but that's no excuse if I cannot buy a damn internal battery replacement that's also not 15 years old

I am not talking currently. But for discontinued devices. Not to mention that I got no amazon or ebay here and none of that shit is available anyway

Not true.
You're telling me there is no way for you to get a battery?

I was really hoping they would switch the placement of the left stick with the dpad this gen. Ugh.

Also no 3.5mm jack without adapter. Same mistake Microsoft did last gen (then they fixed it). Not a fan of that.

Sorry if I am misinformed. Someone told me you need an adapter.
Who said you needed a adapter?

Your avg consumer isnt and does not want to do this or pay someone else to do it. The majority see that as more hassle than taking the financial hit and just buying a new controller and selling the old one for parts or throwing it out.

The annoying thing with the battery in the DS4 is that it doesn't actually need to be much bigger [physically] and take up more space. When I modded my new controller I bought a double capacity battery which was barely a mm thicker and was merely a bit more snug in the brackets, at first you usually assume they're just knock offs with different labels but the play time increased roughly 80-90% by my calculations (measured with COD, where use is near constant). The crazy thing is that it doesn't take much longer to charge either. Still holding up great after a year of heavy use.
The DS4's weak battery is a matter of cost rather than space or any engineering hurdles.
Even though I love the DS4 design/layout and PS controllers in general, Sony cheaped out on build quality and on the battery; and frankly they still priced them too high.
The DS5 looks to be higher quality and hopefully it holds up well in the hands, one promising thing if you look closely is that there's a polished rim (lol) around the edge of the analogue stick dome area, presumably for lower friction and reduced wear.
I personally can't stand Xbox controller design (mushy face buttons/bumpers, excessive stick resistance, weird d-pad and asymmetric sticks) but I can't help but be jealous of their Elite/Elite2 controllers. I'm not holding out hope but I do wish Sony would make their own elite controller next-gen. I understand they like to leave it to third parties, but frankly none of them come close in build quality to the Elite controllers on Xbox which I've tried. Sometimes you have to take charge and step on a few toes to ensure quality options for your consumers.

For some reason that seems like the bigger reveal, but it shouldn't be. The console is just a box, while the controller is how we interact with every game.
That said, I want to see it too.

After sleeping on it, even the version they put out has grown on me. Cant wait to see the console itself.

Simply stunning... Looks like a cross between that prototype PS3 "boomerang" controller and a DualShock 4.

If you look it from the top, it looks like the PS5 devkit (like the letter V). The Console might look like the controller
Are they going to retroactively patch their games to make use of the haptic feature? HAHA! Who am i kidding ... Elder Scroll 6 wont make any use, touchpad nor happtic triggers
Anyone wanna make a bet?

Looks wonderful. And i said, it's refreshing Sony changed the design and tried something new instead using the exact same dualshock design. Every generation should bring something new and never seen and done before. It makes the 5 to 7 year transition worth it.
Can't wait to see the console and user interface. They should both have that far future aesthetic look of the controller.

I hope I can set mine to Samuel L Jackson so everytime I interact with, it ends with "mother fu#*er"

One thing that is missing is quick party/game chat switch. Last night chatting away only to realise I was in the wrong channel. If no physical switch, at least work on the GUI Sony. Shit like that needs to be front and centre. Would also like a quick ‘away’ switchwhen getting a beer etc.

It's true. The thing will generally sit in a place most people can barely see it whereas the pad is what we interact with. We know the specs, we know pad, the next most important thing are the games. The box is pretty much the least important thing by a large margin.

I have two dual shock 4 controllers and I am very rarely confronted with an empty battery. I charge my controllers Everytime on the PS4 while in sleep mode. I think the battery life is about 5 hours? More than enough per session for me.
What I see as an omen is de lack of feel with the gaming community from sony as of late. It's telling that they did not mention the 3,5mm Jack on their first post. It's something core gamers very much need. They could have guessed this lack of information would cause a slight riot.

Well, there is a mute button on the controller... Hopefully it will also mute the mic you have connected by wire. It would also be nice if they set the mic "off" by default. Or at least a choice in the os.

I love the design and color scheme. Way better than sticking with the tired DualShock design for yet another generation. It looks so futuristic and it’s forward thinking like this that makes Sony the big dog in the gaming industry. I literally cannot wait to see the console itself and I hope it looks just as cool and amazing as the DualSense. Bravo, Sony. You’ve outdone yourselves.

It will be a "haptic sword dlc" for only 14,99usd. Buy now with haptic shield for 24,99usd !!!If you look it from the top, it looks like the PS5 devkit (like the letter V). The Console might look like the controller
