@ColdHandGee @DTfearTheBEARD Thanks for the input, guys! It seems it would be a good fit for me since it has that premium feel and extra buttons. The problem is that the price is 240€ so I'll wait for a discount and then snag it. Oh and of course, nobody will be allowed to play with it except for me. The guests can have the beat down drifted original dualsense
@HonestHick You were smarter than me. I also have one 20th anniversary controller but I'm on a lookout for another one so I can hook two of them to my PS1 via 8bitdo adapters. I would buy a new one or a used one in great condition but ebay has a few of new controllers in the UK which is a bit of a hassle due to customs charges
@DTfearTheBEARD A legit question from me: how was your experience with the edge controller? I mean, do you play competitive online games so it's a must have for you or are there other reasons you find it the best controller? I'm a single player guy, so I need a first hand recommendation
@dschons I also bought it and the shipping cost from the European store is 20€ for a single game. So apparently Nobuo Uematsu will deliver this personally while playing the victory fanfare
The exit 9 will be getting a physical release funded entirely by the Nigerian price who has inherited 9 trillion dollars but needs your 100$ to get to it
And it seems there are only three physical editions:
standard at PlayAsia
standard at LRG
collector at LRG
I was looking forward to a retail special edition with a steelbook but to no avail. The collector is overpriced and features a statue and an artbook but I'm no statue collector. Going standard edition then
@Yousef- I never looked up the origins but the game itself is like a fever dream. I believe you, but they overcomplicated things without any reason. Did you play KH3? I played the first two and I'll get into the third soon so I was wondering if the game does a decent job of explaining the story so far?
@J2theEzzo You're absolutely right, in these rare moments my name really is a curse. I actually think I'll get banned if I post a legitimate question. But hey, as Castlevania says:
@ShogunRok Thank you for the information. After reading your comment I decided to buy the digital version of the game. I fiddled around with the settings and there aren't that many options but the CRT filter is nice.
And @Yousef- is right, I actually have my PS1 hooked up to a 14'' Sony Trinitron right next to the 4K tv so I tried a bunch of things in the past, like using the OSSC upscaler to play retro games on my modern tv but the small CRT was the winner every time. Obvious, but again, one must try it for himself.
Regarding Tomba, it looks a bit pixelated but it's bearable when played on a smaller screen since I mostly play games on a smaller portable monitor when the main tv is occupied (the portable monitor is bigger than the PS Portal screen). My conclusion is that I will play the Tomba PS5 port although being spoiled by actual CRT picture.
And just for fun, I also downloaded the Legend of Dragoon PS5 version which was on the store and I was pleasantly surprised with the picture quality. It looks much better than when I fiddled with the OSSC upscaler. Jeanne D'Arc also looks wonderful. So I must say I'm ok with the quality of all these emulations/ports/remasters. It's not the same CRT experience but your eyes won't bleed and the price of the games is more affordable than their original PS1/PS2/PSP discs.
@ShogunRok How are the graphics? I mean, in terms of a ps1 remaster. Are the backgrounds and characters blurry and how is the game looking in general when compared to its SD original being played on a CRT?
Not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely looking to buy it from LRG
@Yousef- Now it makes sense, I didn't catch the encoding within the message since it wasn't sarcasm
@KundaliniRising333 Thank you, it took me just over a year of brainwashing the staff at Push Square but here we have it: a full fledged article written as it should be. I hope they keep it going
The store actually did close but only here in Croatia after we moved to Euro as our new currency. Sony didn't bother to update the legacy store accordingly so they just shut it down (but they did issue a warning). If anyone is wondering, I'm still able to access my games from the Download List option.

Re: Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller Pre-Orders Are Now Live
@IamJT Nice review, thanks. Do you actually use any of the presets? And what would they be used for? Like rearranged button scheme or something else?
