Got this wee sticker online, actually looks pretty cool on the console!

Got it from - https://www.flamingtoast.com/ - took about two weeks to show up.

Aaaaand that's just been impulse purchased.

Some of the features I like on the PS5:

1: The chat audio coming through the controller

It's weird how different people's experiences are with crashes on the ps5. Me and a couple of lads on the CP thread haven't gotten 1 yet while other people get multiple crashes. Any chance a reinstall might make it more stable?

It's very strange alright, a friend of mine hasn't had a crash once, or any major bugs.



I'm still gonna wait for more patches, I'm just not bothered with the game after all those crashes!

I am very happy with my PS5 bar one thing....rest mode! It is the only time I have issues. From now on no rest mode at all! :mad::mad::mad:

I have used Rest mode the last few days without issue so far

I never had a problem with rest mode, aside from the first day where it wouldn't charge my controller.

My only remaining slight issue is that I've noticed I have to press the PS button usually twice to wake my PS5 from off or rest mode. This is after the controllers firmware update though so unsure if it could be that.

The thing was I got recently with the PS5 was access to PS4 games. I have been playing Days Gone. That is such a great game which cost €0.00 and saw it yesterday in Smyths for €59.99 which was mental. The story is so good and I'm far from finished it.

Same for me, I have been playing The Last of Us for weeks and love it. Days Gone will be the same once I get to it. God of War too.....need more time off work!! ;-)

Each and every time I put mine into Rest Mode when I come back to it the next day or whatever the amber\orange lights are gone out!? I then get the message\warning saying it was not shut down properly the last time...WTF!? I put it in rest mode but for some reason it powers down fully!? Last time I got the error message about rebuilding or something similar, that only appeared once thankfully but other warning message appeared each time.

Thanks,
M

There is an option on the rest mode options that shuts your console down after 4 hours I think it is, see if that is set to on.

Ahhhhhh, I will check that! But even if that is turned on then why would the PS5 say that it was not turned off properly!?

have to say im glad i persisted to try get a ps5, i had secured a seriesx but when tesco came through on the ps5 i let the xbox go.

the new controller really gives it a next gen feel that the series x didnt have (although both are blisteringly fast and id argue that the loading times is sufficent as USP to support an upgrade)

Really enjoying astros playroom.

Two of my favourite games of all time, enjoy.

I've a bunch of boardsies as friends from an impulse playing of MAG on the ps3. I can't remember who they are but nerdkiller316psn has spent the morning breaking my records on astro's time trials. Now I'm gonna have to go back to try and reclaim the titles

So whoever you are! [arnie] I'll be back[/arnie]

Is " Dayz gone" that good. ??
I heard that it was only a "so so" game.

It is a great story line, you could make a movie out of it, if they haven't already. Graphics are good. The weapon wheel is the only thing that annoys me.

Be madness not to play it when its for free, I dont really like games that uses ammo as a difficulty modifier (very little of it around etc) but its a very good game.

You may be mixing up 2 games. Dayz, is by all accounts a very poor game. Days Gone, however, is fantastic. As mentioned, great story, and some of the most adrenaline pumping action you’ll ever get, taking on hoards of hundreds of sprinting zombies.

If there was a criticism, it may be a little repetitive for some, but I really, really loved it.

You think by now you'd have found a supplier making ps5 plates. I know they stopped a proper company but what of the aliexpress sellers of this world who do their own thing. Stop one, another one appears.

Vinyls everywhere, prefer a matte black case.

Hi all,

I’m long term loaning my PS4 Pro to a friend over the next few days (to get her through lockdown 2021 )

I’ve set up a user for her (I think she’ll have to create a PSN account for herself if she wants to watch Netflix etc) and I’ve downloaded games she’d like.

I’ve kept my own users on it so the games will be playable on her user account.

Is there anything I could be forgetting? Don’t want to traipse over with it and realise I’ve forgotten something silly...

You need to set it as your primary console, good to go then.

Thanks a million, I knew there was going to be something.

Now my stupidity is coming out - would this have any impact on my PS5?

No, PS4 needs to be primary so that your friend can use your games.
Since you're logging into your PS5, you have access to your games too.

It was savaged by critics on release, but by and large the the player reaction was very positive and it sold really well, its reputation has hugely increased since it released last year.

They have made massive improvements to it and the PS5 version runs at 4k/60 fps, its well worth giving it a go.

Anyone having issues with Lag Spikes? My Son is getting dropped packets and lag spikes where his ping shoots up to over 800ms periodically, games its particularly noticeable are in Fifa 21. Also we have tested with Rocket League as it is a good game for showing dropped packets and ping levels as you play.

Same on both, use LAN normally tried Wifi to see if it made any difference which it didn't! Assigned it a static IP on my network, manually port forwarded the required ports as well, no dice.

I think my ps5 controller is about to give up,

The right trigger fells extremely lose compared to the left trigger, it fells soft and lose when you press it compared to the left trigger when the ps5 is off ?

I think 2.5 weeks of use with borderlands 3 has killed it ?

Has anyone else had issues with the triggers ?

This reminds me of my day one PS4 controller when the rubber came of the sticks !!!
