Amazon To Set PS3 Slim Limit

Amazon To Set PS3 Slim Limit

Amazon is so concerned about the anticipated demand and limited supply of the forthcoming PS3 Slim, which is due to arrive next month, that’s it limiting purchases to one per household.

The company has said:

“In an effort to provide as many customers as possible with the opportunity to purchase PlayStation 3 120 GB, we are limiting the total number of PlayStation 3 120 GB units that can be purchased. As a result, each household may only purchase one PlayStation 3 120 GB unit.”

And for those who try to evade that limit and are caught, it could result in the cancellation of all outstanding orders, closure of all accounts – both national and in other countries, for both buying and selling, and affect Media Library and Associates account.

That’s tough talk and stiff penalties, and users won’t be able to access wish lists or gift certificates.

How to fix joystick drift on PS5
A person holds up a PS5 controller.

It is very rare for a new console to release without some kind of issue. The best we as early adopters can hope for is that they are minor, possibly fixed with some tweaks in the settings menu, and not as severe as the infamous red ring of death that plagued the early version of the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, Sony's PlayStation 5, or more specifically the DualSense controller, has been gaining a lot of negative attention for a fault in the joysticks. The issue of joystick drift is almost identical to the one seen with Nintendo's Joycons, in that case called Joycon drift, except that it is showing up much sooner in the controller's life.

If you're noticing issues with your DualSense joysticks, there are a few methods you can try to repair them yourself. A drifting joystick essentially renders your games unplayable, and getting it repaired or replaced can leave you with no way to enjoy your console for days, and the cost of a new one can be steep. Before going through any of that, here's how to fix joystick drift on PS5.

The best upcoming PS5 games: 2023, 2024, and beyond
An ominous red portal opens up in a field in the Mortal Kombat 1 trailer.

The PlayStation 5 has been out for some time now, and its reception has been mostly positive. It includes lots of quality-of-life improvements over its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, such as faster load times, a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a regular hard disk drive (HDD), and an improved controller in the form of the new DualSense. However, a console is only as good as the games available on it, and thankfully, the PS5 has you covered on that front as well.

While the machine already has a worthy library of great PS5 games, there are even more to look forward to, with some releasing as soon as this month, while others are still years away. In the video game world, it's not uncommon to be aware of games that are still several years out from release. It's also normal for a new game to be revealed and launched within just a couple of months. In this comprehensive list, we'll go through the major PS5 releases scheduled for 2023 and speculate on future games.
