Keighley is just largely a PR guy these days.

I like him and the stuff he makes happen but having the head of marketing on just makes it seem this should tagged with #ad.

Feel like Sony are using him more than he's getting out of it on this one. Has it been already, did anyone watch it?

00:00 - First Hands on With DualSense!
04:58 - Astro's Playroom Demo
08:19 - Eric Lempel Interview
18:00 - When will Pre-Orders Start?

Looks excited

It was a big load of meh.

Glad that preorders won’t apparently just happen ‘at a moment’s notice’ as the bloke from Sony put it, and they’re going to let us know first. Personally I’d like the PS2 forms back. A brilliant idea at the time that was just constrained by severe stock issues.

Only interesting thing for me was seeing the back of the pad. No back buttons but it did look like the pad possibly had an input point on the bottom rear. Couldn't see it clearly, though.

I thought this was fascinating; Ken Kutaragi from the past (OPS2 #15, 2001) commenting on the future...



We're getting there, Ken!

Now before we take this further are we talking mbps or mb/s?

I don't know, I'm not a nerd. Internet comes in through tube, internet goes out through tube.

Demo stations are still a thing? Guess that shows when I last went into a dedicated shop!

Be good to finally get a release date and price though as the ballpark will be similar for the Series X I’d have thought.

It surprised me as well.
It'll be interesting to see which TV they go with.

Top of the line one I reckon, I have no idea what Sony’s top of the line TV is these days mind.....

Possibly the XH90 as it will be 4K 120fps compatible with a firmware update at some point this year.

These demo stations going to have a sole person standing around to wipe the controller after each use
