With Gran Turismo 5 due out on November 24 (knock on wood… then find a rabbits foot and knock on more wood), the advertising that has been waiting in the wings can finally be unleashed on the hordes of eager fans. Enter Kevin Butler, Sony’s VP of whatever is funniest at the moment, who returns to the airwaves to discuss GT5 in all its glory. He then steals a car. Long live Kevin Butler!

After one or two delays that you may have heard about, Gran Turismo 5 is finally going to be released. In theory. Sure, the game is said to have already shipped to retailers, but until the game is in our consoles, and you have played several hours, anything can happen.

How to connect Bluetooth headphones to a PS5

The easiest way to make the best PS5 games even better is to pair them with the best headset you can get your hands on. Very few of us can afford top of the line audio setups with multiple speakers surrounding us as we play, but headsets can give that seem full sound experience in a much smaller and cheaper package. At this point, all the best PS5 accessories are wireless, so no doubt you want your headset to be as well. Odds are your headset uses Bluetooth to connect, but if you're struggling to get it to pair with your PS5 to play multiplayer games with your friends, we'll show you how to get it set up.

How to sync a PS5 controller to your PS5

Whether you're going with the default DualSense controller, the Dualsense Edge -- which is one of our favorite PS5 controllers -- or a third-party controller, you'll need to connect your PS5 controller to play the best PS5 games. It's not a difficult process, but if you aren't aware of the ins and outs of it, it is reasonable to have trouble.

This guide specifically covers connecting your PS5 controller to your PS5, a process known as 'syncing'. Previously, we've covered connecting your PS5 controller to PC and even how to update PS5 controllers from PC, if you're strictly a computer gamer who uses a PS5 controller for that purpose. Naturally, we've also gone over syncing a PS4 controller, just in case you're lost in the wrong gaming generation.

After a firmware update, the PS5 has now added Gamelists, which are similar to folders, but not quite as useful. Still, if you want to tidy up your best PS5 games for easy browsing, here's how to make folders on your PS5.
