I already got flamed on this thread for my PS5 setup but I guess I can post it again to get flamed more.

Yes, it's black, the middle is still glossy and I stuck a hand drawn classic PlayStation sticker on it to ruin it more.

Unfortunately, like anything that aims to look like the future, it's just a bit too weird with extra "modern design" details that will look just as daft in twenty years time as they do now.

Admittedly now that my flatmate paid an extra £200 for his, I can vouch that the PS5 is in person not awful, just a bit weird, and certainly better than the featureless black box aesthetic some people crave.

This on the other hand is brilliant, literally art. Which probably actually makes it worth the extra £200.

I kinda wanna put more stickers on it tbh.

I bought a sticker from Etsy to add the classic colours to the PS button on the DS5 and they tossed in some extra thing that changes the logo on the console in the same way, but I've not got round to doing it because it seemed like something you have to take the plates off to do...

The sticker on the DS5 looks the business but quickly peeled and lost some colour. Would not recommend.

Anyone has the Pulse 3D headset? Was wondering if it's any good, the price seems cheap for what they are advertising. I will probably just buy it since I had negative experience with third party stuff on consoles in the past but wanted to know if anyone had experience with it.

I don't like headsets at all, but the Pulses are making me reconsider my stance. I've been using a pair on the five and my PC variously and after an initial minor adjustment period I don't even hesitate to use them anymore.

Sound quality? I dunno. Surround and pseudosurround are close enough as to be basically indistinguishable for me, and outside of some extra detail (like gooey splashes or the thunk of an item hitting the bottom of the box) as long as I can hear it I'm happy. Does the job, no complaints.

I love that scratching post on the left! Goodness!

Also for the 3D audio thing, does it happen only in headsets like the pulse and others that say they have it, or does it happen in all headsets? Does it make a huge difference too?

To answer both of these: the 3D audio stuff is all done system-side, so any decent pair of headphones can do it. The Pulse headset is very good, probably worth it for the price, but definitely not the best quality headphones I’ve owned (but they cost way more). PS5’s Tempest 3D audio is definitely noticeable in games that use it - Returnal especially you hear the “direction” of sounds SO well. Orbs hitting the wall behind me made me jump more than a few times.

Basically I would say it’s worth it if you don’t already have a good pair of headphones (or headset if you plan on using the mic), or you want one that’s specifically for your PS5.

I sprayed mine black too. I mean, the TV is black, the soundbar is black, the Switch dock is black.

It's still huge but I didn't want it to be the center of attention.

According to some goons the mic on the Pulse sucks? Or the way that it handles voice sucks? I don’t know I am not a twitch guy but no one could make out what I was saying when I have tried to stream and the Pulse is the only thing I use.

Yeah something was up with the mic on your stream for sure. But when I did a test stream using the Pulse my voice sounded fine.

The pulse 3D hurts my head if I wear it for extended periods of time. It pushes against the sides of my skull and isn't very padded.

I switched to using my wired pc headset which is always comfortable and haven't looked back.

No free upgrade.

The online-only version will be a PS Plus freebie for 3 months, but if you want single player you need to buy for the third time.

Funny enough, I tried this and it keeps resetting my start screen to this. I couldn't bother to factory reset the TV.

Have we seen first party sales yet? I have a BUNCH of stuff I wanna pick up but I'm busy enough with the games I have right now I can wait.]

Spiderman is really awesome guys. I really really liked the original though, and everyone's like "$50 you can beat it in 9 hours" but I think I'm 20 hours in and just making clips of me swinging around the city or beating up guys and sending it to my friends

Ghost of Tsushima looks incredible on PS5 but I just... don't think I want to play more Ghost of Tsushima anymore. Maybe I'll just do the story quests

Genshin Impact looks nice and the combat is good but this story is awful and I think I finally hit the point where the game is like "Ok... go grind now. Bye"

I am going to burn myself out on open world games so quickly

Yea, a major emerging downside is that the pulse 3d never breaks in, due to the materials choices.

I watched a few youtube videos of people doing mic tests with the pulse 3d and other headsets and the mic test did not sound fantastic and a bit roomy. The Arctic P5 that someone recommended to me sounded pretty decent and there were about nine other headsets. None of them sounded as good as a standalone mic though but I think that is to be expected. Probably going to get the Arctic P5s for when it is a me on my own kind of gaming session :)

It looks so so good! Plus I still like Demon's better than any Dark Souls game but that's partially nostalgia and how unique that first one was. I'm still super aware that the game will play and animate like it is from 2009 even if it looks great

Demon's Souls is great and it looks and runs really well! You'll probably have a pretty easy time with it after playing all the other games lol. It's interesting because the levels are more challenging than the bosses for the most part

That was my worry but right now I just want more games from the company that brought me a pretty sweet few months of gaming.

Haha I hope I do but no idea if I will miss so many improvements and changes. Going from BB to DS1 was pretty tricky. Now I am going from Sekiro to DeS. No more speedy unlimited stamnia grapple jumps. I have seen videos of it though and wow, does it look stunning. I have yet to play a full on PS5 game like that and not a last gen game.
