Speaking from personal experience, I am fucking FURIOUS that the PS5 won't let you play any PS5 games with the PS4 controller that will otherwise happily sync up with the PS5. Apart from the haptics, there's no meaningful difference, and you can't tell me those are essential. Hell, I can imagine cases in which a person might want to turn them off!

Are we allowed to take it with us on visits to other countries? I don't know why, but when I don't manage to pass as Canadien, they give me the janky off-brand controller. /s

/s because I totally do know why.

If you're aiming to impress those folks from out of town, you've really got to give'r. Show 'em what Canada's all about, eh? Grab a two-four and throw a rip-roaring shindig!

What if the game they want to play doesn't support split screen?

Then we ask them politely, yet firmly to leave.

So they can go home and get their PS5? Good plan.
