Honestly, I think they just don't want the hassle and I'm sure some people end up going back to the manufacturer because they believe the retailer.

Doesn't take away from the fact that it's with the retailer and as long as you are equipped with the knowledge you should be fine, also goes without sayi, don't be an arse about it lol.

On PS5 related stuff Fenyx rising came in the post this morning.

New tv came yes and had a go at God of War, some difference than my old tv. Did pull a muscle in my neck getting it up the stairs thou ffs so a bit awkward at the minute 😂

Yeah don’t be an arse is the key part of it really. I usually ask the assistant and when they say no I just ask for a manger the shop assistants infairness have no say so no point in given them a hard time. I find once your polite and make your point clear most of them just give in. As you say I think they just hope by fobbing people if they will go to the manufacturer.

Believe there is a new Firmware update out today that fixes some issues with PS4 games re-installing from disc when they should have booted up into PS5 upgraded versions instead.

Getting a weird issue with control ultimate edition. I platnium'd the main game on the ps4 and had completed two of the DLC so downloaded the PS5 ultimate version but my save game is not showing up and a new set of trophies are on the list at 0%. I thought i could continue on from my ps4 pro save game (i transferred it over from the cloud)

Was your copy of Control on the PS4 a disk copy? I'm having the same issue with Days Gone.

I don't think it's possible to use your PS4 save file on the upgraded PS5 version of Control. Something to do with engine changes and how it handles data from what I remember reading.

Yep. I got the ps4 version about a year ago, none of my saves crossed over to the version just out

No wasn't a disk copy bought off the store but seems it's a known thing from other posters. I thought i was doing something wrong. Not sure if i'd replay it again from scratch so soon.

Cheers folks

Sorry if already posted but anyone playing Control, turn vibration down low or off to not be annoyed by rumble from just running around and turn trigger effect to 0, there is way too much quick shooting in this game to have the trigger fight you everytime.

I went back to the DLC at Christmas after about a year break from finishing the base game and I didn't enjoy it half as much as I thought I would. Finished the DLC but I'd have zero interest in playing the game again.

When I downloaded the R6S PS5 update, they gave me all the trophies again. I platinumed R6S on PS4 (only game I've ever platinumed), and now I have 2 :pac:

How Soon Is Now

Played about an hour of Control seems interesting enough something different im sure ill get into it more on my next day off.

Played threw the tutorial on Destruction all-stars or whatever it's called that was enough for me :pac:. Would be a game id only play with a few mates.

Quick question for anyone with a physical PS5 disc of a game. Can you purchase the digital version? I want to get Valhalla digital but have it already physical and played a bit. The store will only allow me to download the standard version of the game, or pay full whack for the Gold edition (which I've already purchased physically). Anyone experiencing the same? Seems to only be for Valhalla too, can buy the standard version (and other versions) of Godfall, which I bought physically also, but only the standard version.

At least they fixed the disc install issue. Must check to see if it still randomly spins regardless of what you're doing.

Sorry
this doesnt make any sense to me.
Why go digital if you have the disc already.

now that people have had the ps5 for a while, do you reckon it was worth it (over a PS4 pro)?
I'm thinking to wait til near the end of the year, probably until gow2 gets released.

Absolutely, for 2 reasons:
1: I got to play the incredible Demon's Souls.
2: I can actually hear my games now instead of listening to my PS4 Pro fans instead.

It's grand like. There are some quality of life improvements that are very nice (loading times, especially if you haven't experienced SSDs on PC) but the console has had problems (external drives, database rebuilds, controllers breaking) and there are features missing.

I wouldn't say you need to run out and buy one now but your not going to save any money by waiting either as there won't be a price drop anytime soon. If you can get one and you have the money then you might as well buy now.

Absolutely worth it, without even talking about the improvements to games and the PS5 exclusives, the quality of life improvements of the system are worth the asking price alone.

Just get one as soon as you have the money and they are available.

Actually now that you mentioned the loading times that might just push me to get one

I'm definitely enjoying mine anyway.
All that processing power and I'm mostly playing crash bandicoot and hollow knight, should be ashamed of myself

Got my PS5 setup yesterday and had completely forgot about the adaptive triggers! Could feel them going really tight at random times and thought the controller was broken, my heart!

Loving everything so far!

Yeah it's cool when you use them, my R2 is gone really loose now over it, think spring is gone in it and few other people have issues with R2. There is a way to turn adaptive triggers off, I would probably recommend it for people if you don't like it or to extend controller not having issues over it.

Good idea actually! There's some games that I don't think I would want it on, so might switch off and turn it on when I really want it. Thank you!

Absolutely.

The visual upgrades and/or framerate upgrades have been incredible either for new games or boosting old games.

Loading times are now negligible across the board which makes a huge difference.

Astro's Playroom was one of the best gaming experiences of my life. I adored it. The PS Plus Collection deserves a huge shout too. I love the interface and the Dualsense too.

I couldn't be happier with it all.
