Sony announces new PS5 VR controllers with adaptive triggers​

Sony is revealing its new VR controllers for the PS5 today. The orb-shaped controllers look more like typical VR controllers than existing PlayStation Move motion controllers, and they also include the same adaptive trigger technology found on the DualSense PS5 controller. Each controller has tensions in the triggers, and Sony is aiming to use this tech in future VR games.

The controllers also have haptic feedback, and finger touch detection that will let them detect fingers without having to press areas where you rest your thumb, index, or middle fingers. “This enables you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay,” says Hideaki Nishino, head of platform planning and management at PlayStation.

R14k for digital edition ( which I wanted anyway )

10 grand for the DE version? Wasn't it supposed to be 7?

No it always been 10k. 7k is what Xbox ask for an old gen console disguised as a new gen (Series S). The Ps5 DE edition is exactly the same as disk version, just without a disk. So 2k less for no optical drive is a good deal, an optical drive cost less than that.
I have a PS4 and Pro at my house and apart from a few dvd movies that my daughter watched, neither of them had even seen a disk in them.

There are Sat deliveries in some cases. Depends on the arrangement with courier.

I got the same on Wednesday stating that I'm part of the first batch and that my console was due this week than they went mute from there, but all is well now as I received my tracking number today and my package will be here on Tuesday.

I was with BT Games and was informed that they had to split their pre-orders into 3 batches due to receiving a smaller than expected number of consoles from their supplier. I'm assuming that Loot might be experiencing the same hiccup so you might be receiving yours somewhere between the 23rd and the end of the month, best reach out to them for a concrete timeline.

Definitely is , but I'm kinda disappointed at how Sony seems to be prioritizing the US more than SA. Yes I get the US is a WAY bigger market but they could've at least just supplied enough to fulfil the pre-orders that were made more than a MONTH AGO. PS Direct alone has done more than 4 drops this month and we can't even just get our pre-orders all at the same time. I hope I'm just jumping the gun in assuming that we weren't prioritized and the delay was just due to a logistic error or something of that nature.

Ah that does make sense, I phoned them several times throughout the week and they said new stock had arrived twice. So the 3x batches makes sense now. Will hopefully get it next week!
