    Just had a look at my trophies for a couple of games and I don’t seem to have any videos, just icons for each trophy. Has a look in settings and the trophy videos are switched on. Am I looking in the right place?

    Sorry, should of said, a difference between disc game and download game.

    Outside of being able to re-sell the game and the price of the game, the differences would be down to the version of the specific game which may come with extras.

    I'm looking for a 40" TV for my PS5 - for an attic space - so dont want to go any bigger.

    I'm swamped with options in sales but dont know what to go for. Any recommendations? Thanks

    EdIt: this looks good but a bit on the high side budget wise... Ideally would like to spend up to €400 if possible.

    Console just froze while playing Spiderman MM. Pushing the power button was the only thing that worked. Console rebooted, repaired, fixed external hard drive and is now frozen on a black screen.

    I'm avoiding playing from an external - seems to be root cause of issues. Must be to do with read speeds or something.

    HDTVTest on Youtube is also pretty decent. He's UK based too so talks directly about the European models of TVs.

    It wouldn't surprise me. I've found issues with frame skipping at the start of ps4 games. Bloodborne, Control, Crash Trilogy Remaster, Shadow of the Collossus - all the same issue. Only happens at the start, for 4 or 5 secs.

    Try power draining it unplug it from the wall and hold down the power button while disconnected to discharge the PSU.

    Ah found them now thanks. I thought they'd be embedded in the trophies on the trophy screen, not recorded as a separate video in the media gallery.

    Yea, i would think that would be the standard as going through the gallery is clunky

    Anyone know of its okay to plug in the DS5 controller to a USB plug? I have a one plus plug and LG plug, would be far handier to plug it in beside the couch and play but don't want to make the long term battery worse

    I've been charging mine at the wall and it's been fine so far.

    Although, I tried to use my One Plus charger and it simply didn't charge it

    OK folks, I’m opening a book on which comes first:

    - Dave’s Demon’s Souls platinum trophy
    - Non-Launch PS5 pre-orders from GameStop

    :)

    The platinum in Demon's Souls just popped for me...so I hope that GameStop has delivered in the meantime :pac:

    I thought with the one plus quick charge, it might be bad for the ds5 battery, do ye find the fast charge works with it at least?

    I just tested it, I use my pc and cable that came with PS5 to charge the controllers/headset.

    Cool, with my ps4, i bought. Generic usb cable from cex, longest they had and could play no problem with it plugged into console but heard reports that generic cables damage the battery and genetic plugs do the same but hard to get any confirmation. I'm not buying a 2nd ds5 for quite some time and won't be getting a charging stand so gonna plough on with the plug. Thanks lads

    Also, i wish Sony would update the charging indicator from bars to something a little more reliable. 2 bars could be ****ing anything. Percentage would be handy.

    Yeah and, like I said before, the same with charging. The indicator shows the same at 10% as it does at 90% when charging

    Cant understand why o many people where adamant about using and ext drive from day1.
    Makes no sense to me at all especially with all the reported trouble. Jesus...Just play a couple of new games on your ps5. Its baffles me.

    Im not planning on needing any ext mem for ages. and I 100% will not be playing any backward compatible games.

    My hard-drive is already full. That' why people are wanting to use an external hard-drive so early.
    I'd rather just buy a compatible 4TB SSD.

    That's not an SSD you've linked to.
