Taiwanese man sells his PlayStation 5 after his wife found out it wasn't an air purifier 🤣🤣🤣 source: https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-taiwanese-man-sells-his-playstation-5?utm_source=hardwarezone_sg&utm_medium=edm&utm_campaign=enewsletter_daily&sc_src=email_2035717&sc_lid=164249985&sc_uid=wkVoHtuWb5&sc_llid=59015&sc_eh=8d7adc4dcc063c051 Before we begin, let's have a moment of silence for our "fallen" comrade. November is an exciting month for console gamers all over the globe, and for good reason. With the release of the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 introducing a wealth of new games, everyone is eager is keen to get in on the next-gen action for themselves, although it hasn't turned out well for one poor chap in Taiwan. Well, to give some context of what happened, this dude ended up as the living embodiment of the Korean "Plash Speed" meme introduced in April last year. Basically, the joke plays on the stereotype that many women, or more specifically housewives don't stay up to date with the latest gaming tech and are generally against having such devices in the household. The video outlines a theoretical scenario where the game-loving husband orders a new PlayStation Pro console and tries to convince his wife that he has merely gotten a new router called the "Plash Speed" (note the initials!). Together with the deliveryman's help, he manages to carry out the ruse and fools his wife. The video gained a lot of traction on the Internet when it was released, with many people (presumably husbands) seeing the hilarious side of the video. Unfortunately for our comrade in Taiwan, as reported by SGEverydayOnSales (thanks!), he tried to fool his wife in a similar way by telling her the PS5 was an air purifier, and although the ruse initially worked, his wife smelled a rat and eventually found out that it was a gaming console. Needless to say, he received an earful from his wife who forced him to sell it. In fact, we only know as much as we do because the buyer decided to share this rather apt recreation of the Plash Speed meme online. According to him (the buyer), he had asked the seller why he was selling the console so cheaply, which prompted this immensely awkward (if hilarious) explanation. As gamers ourselves, our hearts really go out to this poor chap, who will have to be content with watching people enjoy something he can never get his hands on. He's quite literally in The Red Skull's position in Avengers: Infinity War when Thanos goes looking for the Soul Stone. We feel you, buddy!

Sony Reveals New DualSense Controller for PlayStation 5 source: https://hypebeast.com/2020/4/sony-playstation-5-dualsense-controller-dualshock-5 Sony PlayStation has introduced the new DualSense controller that will ship alongside its upcoming PlayStation 5 console. The controller breaks away from the legacy of PlayStation’s DualShock devices not only in name but in design as well. It also builds upon innovations made with the latest DualShock 4 for PlayStation 4. The new wireless controller will utilize sense of touch during gameplay moving forward with the newly adopted haptic feedback function. This allows the controller to react to “a variety of powerful sensations” within any given situation during gameplay. Adaptive triggers have also been implemented to the L2 and R2 buttons for better tension when using the buttons to shoot or draw a weapon. The angle of the controller’s hand triggers and grip has also had some subtle updates to make the DualSense feel smaller. PlayStation also boasts a maintained battery life and lightweight despite the newly added features. The “Share” button used to take photos, save videos, or begin live broadcasts, has been replaced with a “Create” button, a function PlayStation says it will share as more hardware news is announced for the upcoming console. The DualSense also has a built-in microphone ideally for “jumping into a quick conversation.” However, the company advises the use of a headset for longterm discussion. Lastly, PlayStation has done away with its single tone controller colors of the past, opting for a two-toned black and white design with a repositioned lightbar meant to make the colors pop. PlayStation notes “we went through several concepts and hundreds of mockups over the last few years before we settled on this final design.” Check out the images of PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller, then check out PlayStation’s evolution of the DualShock controller.
