Sent by Sony? Broken streetdate? PS5 preview? Place your bets!

Would be a bit funny if somehow the only people able to break street date for DualSense are celebrities that can promote it...

Influencers have product before the general public we don't need a thread for every social media post for people who happen to have a Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 thing.

These textures are so cool. But I always wonder when I see them how much did it add to the cost.

I mean, this would be the first tech youtuber to get a hands-on with the controller at the very least.

Take this with a grain of salt, but there should be PS5 hands-on previews popping up sometime within the next 2 weeks.

When did the media get their PS4 last time around? I would think most of the media should be getting their system within the week. Last time around DF uploaded their 1st comparison on October 28, so maybe we are not too far off now.

Using the symbols for the texturing is such a suave move. It's the little things that make something feel more premium, and that's definitely gonna be one of them on the 12th/19th (earlier for the controller only I guess).

You can always press the ignore button.

Ignore the threads, it ain't hard.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Like stop reading anything on the internet if it bothers you so much. Or cover your eyes with your hands as you browse any site.
Why would you want to suppress hype for video games on a video game forum?

I think you got them.

I think very little. Or at least not more than some rubberized finish.

Meanwhile, an actual physical texture to provide some extra grippy-ness is preferrable to any kind of rubberized finish / coating that might become sticky or peel off over time.

I believe the Xbox One controller does something similar (extra grip via texture, not coating)

...wait, the Dualsense has PS logo texturing?

That's fucking insane.

No idea about the cost, but I think the texture is going to get clung up with dirt and stuff and/or start to wear really quick.

It would likely be easier to clean and last longer than some rubberized coating. It's really just like the texture on the DS4 which is just the molded plastic which likely isn't that deep...just enough so that it isn't smooth.

Probably almost nothing; they would have had to design the mould for that part of the DualSense anyway so it would have been easy to use those shapes for it instead of the same texture that the DualShock 4 had.

I'm glad they adopted the PS symbol texturing that they did on the 20th Anniversary PS4 controllers.

Those texture bumps are stylish and premium as hell.

I remember some people saying that it looks cheap like a "toy" - makes me laugh.

Hmm.. And MKBHD is asking for more info. Think only some people got them?

IT BEGINS! (Again...... Or no. It.. continues.. to continue.. slowly.)

At least nice to see them taking some close up photos of the controller rather than the same "here I am holding it" picture everyone else has done... I appreciate little details in design like that in my hardware.

Loving the texture, looks like there's two layers, one more pronounced and overlapping the other.

I saw the thread title and immediately heard "Heeeey guys, this is Austin" in my head.

Edit: to be fair, he doesn't start videos this way anymore :)
