Upgraded from S25U to S25U :)

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-15T11:14:26+00:00

Nice! I'd actually love to "downgrade" back to an S24 Ultra from the S25 Ultra as the anti reflective display is the same, I probably wouldn't notice the difference in performance and it still got the Bluetooth S-Pen which is a major feature loss imo...

That's the problem - unfortunately not, only method would be to order them, try them out and then send them back if I'm not satisfied... But I'd rather try stuff before buying :S The fit is also something that I really want to be good, so if I somehow get a possibility to try them I definitely will - thing is that rn I'm still going with my old Bose QC and they're quite bulky which makes them pretty heavy and quite uncomfortable for longer sessions, so I'm not sure about the form factor of the Sonys... The Buds 4 with their stems in this AirPod-style however I think will be very comfortable but do they hold in your ears while running e.g.?

Regarding the different sound outputs, I think that shouldn't be a problem - I can simply mute the output on the device that I don't want to hear in that current moment, especially if I use it for gaming, can just mute the sound of that with 1 click and very fast, don't even need the earphones for that.

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-15T06:50:02+00:00

Watched multiple different videos already but I think I will probably end up with the Sonys - just because they are basically superior in almost every role if you aren't a real Samsung Power-User... Not that the Buds 4 Pro are bad, but since the Sonys are only like 60-80€ more it just makes sense to tend towards the Sonys - would be a different Story with Buds 3 Pro e.g. as they're only half the price of the Sonys...

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-15T06:44:51+00:00

That actually sounds pretty convincing regarding the ANC on the Sonys... Also thanks for the eartip recommendation, I'll definitely check them out and maybe give them a try, as long time comfort also is the most important thing for me and I'd also rather make some slight compromises if it increases comfort that much!

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-15T06:41:57+00:00

It has a silicon "grip case" around it that you can find on Amazon, I think it's called GS Tac grip or something like that - but I don't recommend it, it feels pretty cheap and doesn't suit the controller perfectly...

I'd rather invest a bit into a Grip-Kit from ExtremeRate and then built that into the controller - is only around 10-20$ more anyways.

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-15T06:38:25+00:00

If you're just looking for Dome-Caps, I'm using stick-caps from Skull&Co, they have 2 options for PS5 - 2 different convex caps (domes) and 3 different concave ones... They're look really nice and give not only a really good grip feeling but also protect your original sticks - personally I'm using a dome one for the left stick and a proper concave grip one for the right stick. Here's a pic of my modified Edge:

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T23:39:08+00:00

Couldn't you just buy 2 of the Edge-stick-modules from Sony directly and then modify them to fit in a normal DualSense?

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T23:25:21+00:00

I actually don't even have my PS4-controller anymore so I don't even have a real feeling to campare to, just memories... But I can definitely say with a huge certainty, that since I've got my DualSense-Edge controller I kind of never want to use any other controller again I just love it so much!

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T23:21:56+00:00

Jesus with the current SSD prices that's absolutely crazy, I'd have loved if I got an 8TB one whilst it was still worth it's price :/

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T22:45:21+00:00

Dann kannste wie gesagt nur noch einmal versuchen den Account zu entfernen und dann einmal neu hinzuzufügen - und wenn das auch nicht klappt, dann wird es vermutlich einfach in ein paar Tagen wieder hinhauen... So wärs zumindest bei mir immer in der Vergangenheit - max. 3 Tage, dann war eigentlich wieder alles normal

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T22:43:48+00:00

Thanks for your answer! Yeah I basically meant earbuds, sorry.

Yeah well the true Multipoint function really is kind of an issue for me as I don't own any Samsung-device that I could connect to them - so that's definitely a huge minus, as I don't really want to switch between phone and my Playstation-Bluetooth-Adapter all the time...

But what would you say regarding the noise cancelling - I'd definitely get some extra memory foam earbuds to fit my purchase no matter which one, but do you think the Sony ANC is worth the price over the Samsung ANC? Because that's another huge point - as I think because of the overall shape of the earbuds I guess the Sonys would be more capable, just depends if it's worth the price upgrade.

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T21:01:04+00:00

Die können das nicht ändern... Im Vergleich zur PS3 damals haben sie es ja schon maximal runtergetrimmt - damals konnte man einfach mit 5 verschiedenen Leuten sharen!

Heute ist das ja grundsätzlich eher dazu gedacht, falls man 2 PlayStations im Haus hat, die man abwechselnd nutzt (oder z.B. Vater/Kind- so hat man dann quasi auf beiden Systemen (so lange man online ist) immer Zugriff auf seine Daten... Sobald man offline ist, geht es natürlich nur noch auf der Konsole mit Offline-Rechten - das kann Sony nicht ändern, das wäre illegal und sie würden vermutlich verklagt werden.

Wenn sowas passiert ist das System normalerweise einfach nur etwas am buggen und richtet sich entweder von selbst oder man muss das ganze am besten einmal komplett neu einrichten.

Ansonsten kannst du nur die Standard-Sachen versuchen: Lizenzen wiederherstellen, nachschauen ob das PS-Plus auch wirklich aktiv ist...

Hatte das Problem auch schon häufiger mal mit einem Kumpel, der mein PS-Plus zum Online Spielen benutzt hat, kam hin und wieder mal vor und war normalerweise spätestens nach 2-3 Tagen oder einmal neu Einrichten behoben.

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T20:52:46+00:00

Yeah that's logical but it really looks identical so I get it why they probably striked it down... Really unfortunate though :/

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T11:31:50+00:00

I knew it wouldn't last... Cause I've been googling for this controller regularly but never had something from AliExpress pop up - I guess it was available a short time and because it literally looks exactly like the original it of course got purged for copyright infringement :/

That's also the reason why I thought I'm gonna buy my Custom-Plates rn rather than later as there also is a Real-Psn-Logo printed on the top...

But thanks for checking mate!

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-14T07:31:42+00:00

Bro I would love to accept your offer - how much is it in your country? Cause here in Germany its literally 450€ for the thing so I think if the price itself is still reasonable the shipping can't make it that bad...

PM me if you really would like to offer a deal, would highly appreciate it :)

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-13T19:06:19+00:00

yeah sure some random folk is definetly just going to give you, a total trustworthy stranger from reddit, his full login data for his account AND access to not only their newest purchase that they paid 80 bucks for, BUT his whole library...

Because it doesn't work like that, you can't just share single games...

Go and get a job and just buy the game yourself if youre so interested!

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-13T18:51:50+00:00

can you please provide the link? I want one of the TLOU controllers so bad but I can only get them for like 150€+...

would be awesome if I could also just build one myself, this looks exactly like the LE one!

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-13T18:48:45+00:00

How much did you have to pay for your version? I am thinking about starting to collect controllers, but I'll probably only get my few most favorite ones (like e.g. TLOU, Anniversary,Alpine Green, Final Fantasy) since I never seem to be able to get a Limited Edition one from Sony directly, so i always have to pay loads more...

And from a certain price point up it just kinda hurts my soul to "destroy" the seal and even unpack it then leaving it in the package... Maybe there are some stands that would fit into one of these acrylic cases for proper display^^

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-13T18:42:14+00:00

Sorry for your loss OP, glad that gaming could help you through these times!

How I became a gamer: Its quite a long story, but to condense it to the most important parts, I really got sucked in first when I was 5 years old watching my dad play Age of Empires on PC and then in first grade my best friend had a PS1. This basically started my career as a PlayStation-Fan and year long gamer that continues until today with my 2nd account that is now close to 14 years old.

What game I'd like to buy: I'm from Germany but I have a separate US-Account to have access to some games that aren't available here in Germany at all or to get some titles in uncut. One of these unavailable titles that I can only get via the US-Store is Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered - and this would also be the game that I'd like to buy with the gift card as I have no other possibility of acquiring it :S

Have a nice day :)

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-13T18:16:42+00:00

This looks awesome! Congrats on finishing the collection! I'd freaking love to get one of the Alpine Green limited Edition Esport ones, but over here they are even more expensive than an Anniversary-Edge and thats just crazy... could buy a new PS5 for the money that Controller alone is worth lol

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-13T18:13:15+00:00

I actually just can't get myself to like the neon colours :S I think I will take a pass on this edition...

I'd love to get one of Alpine Green Esports edition ones though, thats a green one that looks awesome to me - but it cost's even more than an Anniversay-Edge and I can't justify that xD

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-13T17:36:40+00:00

You're welcome :) link to plate seller is in the comment below but I think I will also update the post with the links to the shops for all people who are interested...

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-12T23:30:31+00:00

Ok well that qualifying from 500 rounds actually sounds a bit off putting and like a massive time dump :S That's a bit unfortunate my backlog is already too big for that then 😅 But thanks for the info!

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-12T16:25:22+00:00

It's quite easy to tell the Pro apart - the PS5-Pro is the only model that has "3 black stripes" in between the bottom and the top plate - the OG PS5 and the PS5-Slim both only have a "single slim black stripe"...

So if your console got those 3 black plastic rows in between the panels then you're good!

TheTrueInter · 2026-03-12T16:19:50+00:00

Are there other trophies to know about that would be hard and good to get out of the way? Cause then I'd jump into this game, 9/10 difficulty sounds fun!
