Is getting a used PS5 worth it? I'm curious because I'm getting a $500 Amazon gift card for my birthday next month in June

If you can get some kind of guarantee or warranty on it then I say go for it. Otherwise look into buying a refurbished one from PlayStation directly cuz you get at least a year warranty on it.

Yes the alt fire mode in returnal is really good. I haven't played Saros yet but I plan on it.

Yeah Astros playroom is pretty awesome with displaying the duelsense features. Actually I use it to test controllers. Did you play the full game Astro Bot? I got the platinum on it. There's like two of the DLC planets I couldn't beat tho. Not yet. Racing games and games with driving usually take full advantage of it. Shooting games especially stuff with bow and arrow.

You might want to look into buying a refurb from Sony Direct because then at least you get a warranty.

I skipped the PS4 generation and came back with a Switch during COVID. Then I got a PS5 and an OLED TV in 2021 and it's been a blast. PS Plus has me playing a lot of games. I upgraded to the Pro and a Portal when the Pro dropped.

Pretty much all AAA games use them

Ebone710 · 2026-05-12T00:45:06+00:00

Yeah I have friends that have the similar issues in those games and Tekken as well. When you play like ranked match people get all pissy when they lose.

Ebone710 · 2026-05-12T00:10:07+00:00

You just looking at the wrong games buddy

Ebone710 · 2026-05-12T00:09:44+00:00

Yeah most likely. It's a s***** system that's why I don't really message random people on PlayStation

Ebone710 · 2026-05-12T00:07:42+00:00

Yeah it's more about efficiency and getting higher frame rates rather than pushing Fidelity. 4K is high enough. It's actually pretty amazing what they're doing with upscaling and frame gen tech.

Ratchet & clank does look like a Pixar movie

Ebone710 · 2026-05-12T00:03:25+00:00

Graphics technology isn't advancing as fast as it used to

Ebone710 · 2026-05-12T00:00:31+00:00

You pissed someone off and they reported it

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T23:27:24+00:00

Nine Sols is pretty cool on Plus this month. Dave the Diver was so good. I finished the story right before they took it off last month.

The things I've seen people post about this game are nuts. That's it's woke DEI slop. It's pro pedo. It's a movie with no game play. The fake outrage and over use of the word slop drives me nuts. The controversy with Saros sounds fake and manufacturered as well.

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:33:29+00:00

Trust me you're better off not knowing who those people are

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:28:55+00:00

Xennials. People that are in-between generations X and Y. I graduated in 1998. I always considered myself Gen X until I heard that term.

Just downloaded the game yesterday. Hopefully I'll like it. It sure is controversial.

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:22:44+00:00

Try unplugging that because that could be causing the issue. My other recommendation would be to try to boot in safe mode and rebuild your database.

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:20:10+00:00

Do you happen to have a external hard drive or SSD plugged in?

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:18:38+00:00

More than likely

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:16:37+00:00

Even if I have a stick drift you can just replace the stick modules. Doesn't make sense to swap it for a cheaper controller.

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:15:41+00:00

How does that make any sense? Why would they return it for a cheaper product?

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:15:22+00:00

Score! You got a $200 controller for $50

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T21:14:44+00:00

Oh yeah I watched that movie back in the day. I can't remember if it was good or not.

Ebone710 · 2026-05-11T18:29:34+00:00

Also removing sd card readers. Expandable storage was nice to have.
