The screen is noticeably bigger. Very impressive.

The build quality is better and the back of the console has a slight texture that really feels good to hold.

The dock is also significantly improved. Still not worth an upgrade if you play mostly docked, but I'm happy with it.

I'm looking to sell my OG Switch. PM me if you anyone is interested.

I do like that the dock has an ethernet.

PSVR2 sounds pretty intriguing for PS5 owners looking to experience VR. The rollout of announcements has been sort of weird though. I guess they had to do this sort of specs list before GDC next month.

The new Horizon game riding on PSVR2 looks very intriguing. I've never tried anything remotely VR before but depending on price and reviews I may give this a try whenever it comes out.

With just a one cable connection and no additional box, it may be the way I finally experience VR at home. I already have several VR games through PS Plus.

BTW, Horizon Forbidden West is looking insanely good, and they seem to be sticking to 18 Feb release date.

Don't watch if you're trying to go in blind...

Too much pre-release hype with a lot of first person Sony games lately IMO.

It's shame it's coming out at the same time as Elden Ring. I fear it may be overshadowed (similar to how Breath of the Wild dominated the conversation back with the first Horizon in 2017).

SteamDeck invites going out February 25. I'm definitely not part of the first wave of invites. Maybe I'll get my invite on February 28 after the 72 hour purchase window closes for the first wave. Probably not though.

I signed up in July. I put down a $5 deposit. You can still join the preorder line, I think.

One week into trying to get a Series X and I've come up empty so far. There were mere hours between the WalMart+ sale last week and me getting paid, so I missed that. Then no major outlets had them all week. Hopefully next week!

Working like a dream. I alternate between two controllers and they seem good as new (no stick drift). I even took the plates off to clean out the vents. They were still pretty clean.

No drift for me either. I just really beat up the sticks with rocket league. Had the same issue with previous gen.
