It’s fun, but it’s limited. The novelty wears off quickly and before long it sits there gathering dust.

I’m sure there’ll be a new HD version in the not too distant future. The existing one is SD, so graphics are very, very limited. If I were you, I’d wait.

It most certainly isn’t SD, having an SD screen that close to your eyes is what I imagine cataracts would be like.

Anyone using non PS headphones on PS5?

Best dongle to get?

Or does it matter....

Cheers

I assume you mean it's non-4K?

Looking it up here and it says it’s 1080p. That’s HD, no?

It’s 960x1080 per eye. For comparison, the oculus rift is 1280 x 1440 per eye.

Ok, that wouldn’t make the PS one SD though. I don’t have one btw

Fine, it lives in limbo between SD and Full HD then. All I’m trying to point out to the OP is that graphically, PSVR is very limited in comparison to even a standard PS4 game.

Just looking it up here, it’s 1080N which would be between HD and Full HD (720P & 1080P). Good to know. I wasn’t being argumentative for the sake of it. Looks like we were both half right

Anyone else having trouble playing Bluray discs in it?

I've tried to watch a couple of movies and most of the time itwill start but shortly thereafter I'll get an error and the app will close.

Not a problem playing them on my PS4

MikeRyan87 · 29-01-2021 3:47am

Had to do my first hard power off today by holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
No data was lost thankfully.
New Miles Morales update seems to be the problem.Won't let me download it now when I click "check for update".
Was worried it was my 2TB hard drive I've been using the last two weeks but don't think it is.

Maybe also check uploads/downloads - I had an update complete but still stay in this list preventing me from actually doing the update on a different game... If its in that list just delete, power off for a bit and then retry.

I’ve only played one, a Dolby atmos audio Bly ray, and yes, it froze.

fixXxer · 29-01-2021 9:50am

I downloaded Vigor but after deleting it the icon is still hanging around on my home screen. All game data is gone but that icon still haunting me.

I’m ridiculously hopeful of getting a ps5 for my 13year old son v soon..

I’m just wondering if anyone can give me advice on setting it up... he currently is using Xbox so am I right in thinking that he will be setting up new account/username.?

Also parental controls. I don’t want him to have access to 18+ content. I’m ok on shooting games but not GTA. He can play that in his own house when he is 30.

If he uses his correct dob can he not play games that are 16+?

I’m just trying to figure out most sensible way of setting up his account. His Xbox is so old and it’s pretty locked down I’ve to log in and do anything extra but I’m trying to assess how much freedom I give him with the new console (if we ever get it).

Any advice gratefully received.
Thank you

Has there been any update on R&C?

Nothing but I’d image it’ll be June/July before it’s released since Deathloop is out in May.

HairySalmon · 29-01-2021 12:06pm

I figured Horizon would be out August/September with GOW in November, but I’d say that’ll be pushed to next year and Horizon will take its spot

RocketRaccoon · 29-01-2021 12:49pm

Not strictly a ps5 question but has anyone used the gamecards.net website for ps5 games? They've some prices that seem too good to be true and you know that old saying.

I think the problem with kid accounts as opposed to Xbox is they can completely stop you going online on the Sony one's, compared to Xbox where you can have parental controls and allow them access to the games you allow...

I ended up (back in PS3 days mind) setting one of the wee lads a child account and we had to get rid of it as he couldn't play Minecraft with friends online...

This may have changed now hopefully....

Where do you go to check for a game update please?

Thanks

Same as PS4, press the options button when you highlight the game and should be an option to check for update...

Yes thank you this is what I’m wondering. If he puts in his date of birth as 13 will that stop him playing 16cert games?

Thanks I’d read that but it didn’t help me. If he can’t play minecraft and chat to others them or wouldn’t be worth it. I suppose I really am wondering what other parents of teenagers are doing?

I think they sell you the game along with a new PSN account, I'd stay well away from that site.

Stay well away from these types of sites. They are selling psn accounts with the game already purchased on them. They even ask you to not change the account password, what's stopping them from doing so.
