Does anyone feel like the dualsense grip is far too hefty and uncomfortable? Preferring the old Ds4 size

Update on this. I just change the external drive for my PS5 to this:

https://www.amazon.sg/Passport-External-Portable-Drive-WDBAGF0010BGY-WESN/dp/B08F27QGHX/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-rsf-lq2a1_0?adgrpid=95227637225&cv_ct_cx=wd%2Bmy%2Bpassport%2B1tb&dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAz4b_BRBbEiwA5XlVVn6cxLbd6g8BRZ82z65P2R_jMmhiAoL3crmiXIeYZjj0RcofrvNgORoC1WQQAvD_BwE&hvadid=419789577526&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9062530&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=12776964002784457016&hvtargid=kwd-13728117171&hydadcr=11237_56009&keywords=wd%2Bmy%2Bpassport%2B1tb&pd_rd_i=B08F27QGHX&pd_rd_r=8f8afb5e-fe53-4794-bfba-9092c9ca0bd8&pd_rd_w=DMTQf&pd_rd_wg=2o2AW&pf_rd_p=174c38f8-657b-4ca1-963b-490d14137357&pf_rd_r=XQXXBZ29ZYKNDWD51XZ3&qid=1608627686&sr=1-1-ee455826-27ab-4e2e-bcc0-8ec114bcd094&tag=googlepcstdsg-22&th=1

and re-installed the PS4 games etc. and it's much more stable, in fact, works without a hitch! I was downloading updates, copying from disc, playing games etc. concurrently all off this drive and no issues at all. This WD uses the ASM2362 controller. With my previous one it would have hung or crashed etc.

So in short, if you're looking for an external drive using NVME SSDs, go for either an enclosure with a ASM2362 (there are some no brand ones from Aliexpress selling for about SGD20) eg.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32959256615.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.74723780LPioy9&algo_pvid=051dc39e-8688-4fe9-a8ce-13edafc5213d&algo_expid=051dc39e-8688-4fe9-a8ce-13edafc5213d-1&btsid=0b0a555816086284065882628e4459&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

or a storage brand using it like WD, I think the Samsung T7 uses it as well

A follow up on this, for folks looking to use external storage for their PS5, here's a good list of the ones that work:

Good information from Sony's latest recording breaking financial results about Playstation as a business, potential of PS5 for the future looks very bright!

Good if we can know (i know, impossible) how many 'REAL' PS5 sales (gamers) there were minus 'fake' sales (scalpers).
If 5 million PS5 were sold but 4 million were bought by scalpers who don't actually intend to play it, that makes a big difference.

Kotaku - Sony Is Doing Great, But Making More PS5s Is Difficult:

"However, the company isn’t able to increase production, which would help meet the overwhelming interest."

Looks like they won't able to increase production. :( Means the monthly pace will remain like this.

I have doubts that only 10% of PS5 sold to scalpers. They probably calculate the number of multiple PS5 sold to same person. Bots can make itself look like different people, scalpers can use other family member names or.. those who bought only 1 not planning to play in 2021 secretly resell higher price now so... ya, I doubt it's accurate since there's no way they can gather data of number of scalpers.

Inventories at scalpers also eventually ended up at end consumers, so that all eventually boost game development and sales... scalpers at end of day still represent a “channel” within the overall supply chain I guess...

it doesn't make a difference for sony, because from sony pov, they were sold, from shop pov, they were sold as well. As long as they receive the money and its not credit card fraud, etc, for them it doesn't matters too much whether scalpers buy or consumers buy.

People whom are directly scalping from warehouse and not going to stores that might be different, but that number shouldn't be more than 10% at best case scenario. (imo, i might be wrong).

i find it quite ok, i have been using raijus for at least 2 years now so the feel for me is quite alright. if you fps then consider getting kontrolfreeks. it helps a little with aiming and ergos

Actually not difficult. Just retail shops alone, I can count 5 sets liao.

Then before December, on challenger and sony actually quite easy to check out.

But if after dec they manage to get 10. Then really power. :s13:

I think it’s still gonna be very tight supply this full year considering AMD chip making capacity is very much restricted...
