Und der ganze Müll mit den Controllern erst! Ein einziger "Sony DualSense" Controller kostet 70€ und die Playstation 5 Software lehnt alles ab, was sie nicht als einen offiziell von Sony lizensierten Controller erkennt. Du willst einen alten Controller benutzen? Nix mehr 7€ Adapter, die kosten jetzt

Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases.

Makes sense. Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony have increased prices on all of their consoles, games and accessories over the past year. A damn controller is $100 USD after tax now for the Switch 2. PS5 Dualsense $80 after tax, which you'll be lucky to have last you a year before drift kicks in. Games (M

Am I the only one who finds games way cheaper on digital store compared to physical discs ?

Same digital is cheap and convenient, but Sony greed has no limits, I will switch next generation to pc, I just can't with these dual sense controllers, these controllers cost so much and have less batter life and don't have hall sticks, I need more options, also I just found if we don't update ps5,

Daily Questions Megathread (July 23, 2026)

There are a few 3rd party controllers that offer "Hall effect" joysticks. These won't experience drift since they use different mechanics for their sensing of movement (There's no friction to cause debris to cause an issue). Unfortunately PS5 is a bit limited in terms of full controller support with

A reminder that Sony didn't care about you way before the disc announcement...

I mean; that’s literally how it should be? Halleffect joysticks solve the stick drift problem entirely, why isn’t it adopted. Why are we praising Sony for doing what they’re supposed to be doing? They’re charging $80 for a controller (an electronic device), it better come with warranty for 12 months

Is DualSense Edge worth it?

No. Atleast with full price. The only good thing about it is the back buttons. Everything else is technically possible on base DualSense. And since they limit 3rd party controller makers like gamesir.. they have no rush to make better controllers. But Sony limits the base DualSense software-wise on

Has Steam lost its touch?

I genuinely wonder if people calling the Steam Controller "very expensive" actually have any idea what controllers cost, or if they're just comparing it to the crappiest and cheapest third-party controllers they can find. Valve's controller is €100, while a basic first-party Xbox or PlayStation cont

A reminder that Sony didn't care about you way before the disc announcement...

I stopped caring about PlayStation when I found out during the rise of hall effect and TMR analogs, they decided to do it like the cave era. You can have great hall effect controllers on PC as cheap as $30-40 but Sony makes DualSense Edge as expensive as $200 and doesn't include TMR.

[GIVEAWAY] GameSir × Gaming Grid: 5* GameSir controllers! Show us your gaming corner or hoard!

I'd love to see GameSir make a premium symmetrical controller inspired by the DualSense layout rather than the DualShock. I know the Xbox layout is more popular, but there are plenty of PlayStation players on PC who'd love a proper alternative. I'm actually an Xbox-layout user myself, but I've alway

The reaction to the Steam Machine vs PS going digital only shows online discourse is too biased to matter.

If Sony released PS6 without a controller and it gave me access to my PS library and was a PC and worked with any controller, including my existing Dual sense Edge, I would be thrilled to buy that. Sign me up for this But when they release the PS6, it will also be digital only, only work with the ac
