Sony Expected to Announce PlayStation 5 Pro Later Today
Sony is widely expected to announce its new premium PlayStation 5 Pro game console later today. The PlayStation Twitter handle posted that a PlayStation 5 technical presentation hosted by Mark Cerny (PlayStation systems lead architect) would stream later today, without specifying PlayStation 5 Pro. The announcement stream will be rather brisk, spanning only 9 minutes, but it seems enough for Cerny to provide a detailed rundown of what to expect from the PS5 Pro, since this is a premium variant of the existing PS5 generation, and not a "PlayStation 6." The PlayStation 5 Pro is being designed to offer 4K Ultra HD gameplay at native, or near-native resolution, with added eye-candy, thanks to its significantly updated graphics processor.

PS5 feels lazier like less love put into it, I think to this day Sony still havent readded the force SS option to the settings, which was present on the PS4 pro to up the aliasing quality of games of it.
No wait, Sony doesn't listen to it's fan base.
Great business move, make controllers that drift frequently, give only a 1 year warranty, make them expensive, profit.
Probably will ask for a couple for Christmas instead.
I got few broken for peanut price, with drifting, swapped for hall types and I am good.
Mine like millions of others has drift.
Looks like they are up from £60 to £68 in UK but Amazon are currently subsidising at £60.
Xbox are £50 as standard and go on sale way more often than dual sense.
You get best of both worlds. Quality hardware, cheap and durable. I use my repaired one over a year already... that feeling, when you just disable deadzone as you don't need it.
Essentially it seems disposable controllers are the new accessory revenue stream to replace the expensive storage revenue stream.
Older gen controllers, including oled vita used to have the higher quality sticks, so the shift seems deliberate as a revenue stream.
Note the lack of provided diagnostics and calibration software for the controllers as well, and that many games conveniently have no configurable dead zone.
Also found this whilst digging why Sony would want to block PS4 controllers for PS5 games, apparently it works fine with remote play, which does suggest it was done for profit reasons.

Just repair the old ones and save money.
They seem to be built in a way to make user maintenance as difficult as possible, no modular assembly, no way to remove sticks from front etc. The edge controller seems friendly but also even more ridiculously priced.
Repairing things, when you actually can and in the end make a better product is a great choice instead of buying more rubbish.
