Available late January 2020 with RRP $29.99. Cheaper alternative to the custom made controllers by SCUF and Astro but I really hope it actually is worth that amount of money. Like the idea so you can apply it to any PS4 controller and you won't get an official controller with paddles at that cost from anywhere else, i imagine its a pretty good deal. Bit gimmicky though and I wonder why they haven't invested time in making a new one - Maybe cos they won't be compatible with PS5 perhaps?

PlayStation 5: Sony reveals first details of next-gen console Sony has finally released the first details about its next PlayStation console. Gamers have been waiting patiently to find out any information about PS4's replacement, but until now details have been kept firmly under wraps. Now Sony's system architect Mark Cerny has released information about what the "next-gen console" will look like. In an interview with Wired, he reveals it will be much faster, more powerful and include improved audio. But don't expect to be able to buy one in 2019 - you'll have to wait until at least next year to see it on shelves. Below, we outline all the new details we know about the PlayStation 5 so far, as well as the questions we still want answered. Much faster loading times Good news for avid PlayStation users - the new console will include a high-speed solid-state hard drive (SSD). While that won't mean much to a lot of people, the point of the SSD is to dramatically reduce things like loading times - which will make everyone's gaming experience a bit better. For example, when playing Spider-Man on a PS4 it can take 15 seconds to fast travel between different locations. Cerny gave Wired a demonstration that showed the same task taking just 0.8 seconds on the new machine. "No matter how powered up you get as Spider-Man, you can never go any faster than this," he says about the PlayStation 4. "That's simply how fast we can get the data off the hard drive." Improved audio Another big focus for the next-gen console is 3D audio. Cerny tells Wired that as a gamer himself he was left frustrated that there wasn't much change in audio between PS3 and PS4. "With the next console the dream is to show how dramatically different the audio experience can be," he says. PS5 (which isn't the official name of the new console) will see gamers being immersed in audio from above, behind and from the side, according to Cerny, and will be experienced best through headphones. Enhanced visual experience The next PlayStation supports ray-tracing graphics - the first time a game console has ever managed graphics like it, Cerny says. They're usually used in Hollywood special effects, and occasionally in high-end processors. It means users of the next-gen PlayStation will receive much better, and more realistic, visuals. It's also worth noting that while the PS5 will have all of these improvements, you don't need to worry about compatibility with PS4 games. The new console will still take physical discs, and gamers can still play PlayStation 4 games on the new console. What we don't know All the details that have been released so far are about hardware. We still don't know: When it will be released - although Cerny says it won't be this year, so don't expect to get your hands on one in 2019. How much it will cost. The name of the console. It's already being dubbed the PlayStation 5, but Cerny hasn't confirmed its official name - yet. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-47953213

Okay. So change of plan maybe. I may be extremely lucky to get some early inheritance which would buy a PC. Now every time I start looking at a PC, I think 'I could build it and probably save a heap of money, but....' maybe its just easier getting a ready built PC. However, I don't know what is actually a decent deal if it is. For once in my life I actually get the chance to ask what's the best PC available to run Star Citizen, Overwatch, Rainbow 6, Divinity, 7 Days, Minecraft. I trust all your opinions as you know more than me easily. I did put my old PC together but thats way over 10 years ago and i'm possibly worried i'd mess it up. Let me know what you think guys.

It's an end of an era for Playstation 3 consoles. Japan have confirmed the final consoles have been built and shipped and no further production will take place. This will filter through to EU and NA in due course. 11 years shelf life is pretty darn good in this market, I don't think the latest consoles will last that long. I didn't play one growing up, I was purely xbox 360 until i came here and got a pre-owned version. I never thought it cut the mustard against the powerful xbox 360 at the time.

I'm going to ask all of my noob questions here. If you've got some of your own, feel free to ask away. We can use this thread to ask and answer noob pc questions. So... I've been playing Crysis 2. Solid game. Never played the first, but I'm having fun with this one. I had everything maxed out. Ran perfectly smooth. But just shut off out of no where. Play a second time, just a bit ago, and turned Anti-A off and turned it down to High instead of Ultra or whatever the first step down from Ultra is. It played perfectly smooth still, but then shut down again. What could it be?
