End of the day it isn't a huge amount of money and if a V2 launches within a year then I'll just stick my V1 in another room and use it as a media device.

A lot of forums have two kind of posts:
1) waah waah waah I didn't get one
2) omg the launch edition is such crap, I'm glad I didn't get one
Sure thing.

The more I use my PS5 the more I dislike the DualSense. The only positive thing I can even say about the damn thing is that they finally got rid of the stupid light bar and the lights on the top aren't blindingly bright like the one on the Xbox is. Everything else is either the same or a step backwards from DS4. I probably wouldn't be quite so negative if not for the utterly fucking retarded decision to not allow me to use the DS4 with PS5 games even though that works just fine when you do it via Remote Play. DualSense adds nothing of value to Demon's Souls but the back button attachment for my DS4 sure as hell does; I can't stand not being able to move the right stick while sprinting (and I'd map dpad-down to the other back button). I've actually considered hooking my Pro back up and playing the game with Remote Play instead.
The new UI still needs a lot of work too. I understand now why Sony was so reluctant to let anyone see it before release.

Seriously on the UI. How hard is it to just incorporate something that works (The old UI) with folders and such. It isn't that hard.
I also do not like the mic on the controller. If only because I have to remember to mute every damn time I start a multiplayer game if I do not want to be on voice comm. Is there a default setting to start this thing in mute mode? Probably not.

How to Mute the DualSense PS5 Controller Microphone | Attack of the Fanboy
The DualSense PS5 controller has a built-in microphone that's on by default, but you can easily mute it if you don't want to be heard in multiplayer

Thanks
I probably should have used google before posting that but thanks to you, I no longer have to

One other actually-useful feature I forgot about is that the mic mute button also mutes the console audio entirely if you long press it. Nice to not have to fumble around for the TV/Receiver remote to mute if the phone rings.

To me the dual sense is basically the same as the DS4 with slightly better ergonomics and vibration. Battery life seems similarly shitty and beyond that there’s not much new. Microsoft’s approach to the D-pad is definitely better for games that actually use the D-pad as a D-pad, but it seems most games use them as just extra buttons so I don’t really blame them for keeping it the way it is. Super retarded that you can’t use DS4 though for PS5 games, no reason other than Sony doing Sony things to try to fuck people over.
I guess for people that use the back button thing this sucks since there isn’t a dual sense option yet, but I never used it so no loss there.

Got a DualSense today. Had to go get a USB-C to A as I didn't have any and it wasn't included with the controller.
For Steam, had to switch to beta version to get it to recognize the DS5. No other services does it though. Guessing Windows doesn't support it automatically like a DS4 yet? With my DS4 Uplay+ recognizes the DS4 and uses the correct buttons, but with the DS5 it says no controller connected until I use DS4Windows.

Yeah 25% off on PSN store as well for the same digitally. Also 25% off PS Plus for a year too.
Yep, my PS5 was stolen in transit, Amazon had no problem refunding me but I am pissed. Somewhere between the warehouse in Burlington NJ and the local Hatboro post office that shit was swiped.
Last update Friday at 618am:
Arrived at local carrier facility
PO claims its a container scan and they said the package never made it there but Amazon is saying it was delivered to the post office.
I have a USPS claim in but I'm sure some asshole is racking up trophies on my PS5 right now. It really isnt the end of the world, but people like that should face the consequences but this fucker is 99% going to get away with it. Do I have any other options, I mean the package wasn't stolen from my porch, it was somewhere within the shipping process......Amazon didnt really seem to give a shit.
Grrr, 2020 luck continues, guess I have to get lucky a 2nd time in order to find a use for the 2 games and 2nd controller I now have.
