If you install his ps4 games on the external drive, you should be able to hot swap it over to the new ps5 and they should be there to play without having to download them all over again

That sounds handy enough, thanks

I thought this Saturday night live skit on the PS5 was great!

Having trouble transferring data and not seeing much online about it. Transfering via ethernet cable. Just gets stuck on preparing to transfer will take a few minutes to restart the PS4. Last night I tried a second time and it got stuck at 16%. Just transfering safe data. 2GB. The PS4 actually just turned off as nothing was happening. Don't hear the HDD on the PS4 seeking data either.

I think I'll just transfer via USB. Although I suspect the PS4 HDD Might be on it's way out. It's not reading discs properly, but also painfully slow when downloading and installing updates to the point the system is lagging. Fingers crossed I get my save data!

Welp have came across my second issue with my PS5.

It can't use rest mode it seems. If I leave it in rest mode for anything over an hour and come back the entire system and in games have these micro freezes for a second plus.

Basically rets mode make the entire system laggy. Anyone else have this issue?

Other than that issue my other issue is how loud my fan is.

Will be setting this up for my son on Xmas day, he has a ps4 and an external hard drive. What's the best way to get started with this set up?
Just sign into the psn account and let it do its thing? Can the hard drive he uses for the ps4 be used on the ps5? Thanks for any help with this

My nephew was over last night, and I let him play Astro because I know when he turns on his PS5 on Christmas he wont bother with it, he's a Fifa type person, those Astro AC and Legion game I have won't interest him. Seeing the look on his face when he discoved haptic feedback was cool.

Also I did notice now that I have my mic turned off by default, when you play Astro it doesn't work properly. As soon as you get the bits where you have to blow(yellow mic light is on, therefore mic is off) then it just spins automatically.

I guess if we kick it off early should be downloaded at some point..be more worried about services being down and unable to do anything

Astro is built in, so he’ll have something to play even if you can’t download anything. It’s excellent.

Wouldnt be my choice but if you decide to keep the box sealed as Berty mentions above (i have to agree - the first time startup sequence is really stunning) Just bear in mind Miles Morales is a large download. 39 GB reportedly.

Hi folks,
Managed to luckily secure a ps5 digital for xmas. My son has a ps4 and would have a profile etc. He's 17 so no panic with anything. Planning to set it up for Christmas day and buy and download miles morales. Havent actually got the console yet but it's confirmed from smyths. Usually xmas day is disaster for downloading and setting up stuff. Is there anyway I could set it up with say a profile of my own and then on the day let him add his own profile? Would the game be available across profiles?
Cheers,
Mick

Odd one, just plugged controller into the supplied usb cable into the console and my wired headphones stopped working, was using them up until I plugged the controller in to charge. No audio at all.

Anyone else experience this?

I have one already.

Very little setup needed really. Also the first power on has a splash screen. Unless you do a reset you won't see it. Games install faster than PS4 anyway. Leave the box sealed I'd say.

Like I normally set stuff up for my nephew , as I'm mr tech, he's getting a laptop and ps5 for Christmas. I know, mad isn't it. Anyway laptop is here in my house. Sealed, he's 17, let him figure it out. PS5 however, still with Sony. Has to get to little woods before getting to me.

For the fast setup get him to install the PlayStation app on his phone so when doing the setup you just scan the QR code on the screen and it automatically syncs.

Make sure the PS4 is nearby as well. Connect with LAN cable for a faster transfer of data. DO NOT TURN THE PS4 OFF DURING THIS. I learned the hard way. Nearly bricked it.

Ah. Sure I'll go for them anyway, so long as the time trials don't wreck my head too much.

So, I completed the time trials in a total of 6:56, got the pop up saying I had gotten the trophy. Job done. Except when I exited the game, it said I hadn't completed it, despite recording my overall time. :rolleyes:

Screw it, I'm going to start something else. Has anyone played SotC on PS5? I'm assuming there are no problems.

So what Games are people enjoying on PS5?

(I'm due to pick up console from Argos tomorrow so just curious about other peoples experiences on games played so far)

Currently working way through Devil May Cry V Special Edition.

It was slow at first, but god damn Vergil's combat is possibly even more satisfying than Dante's. I barely even switch from using Yamato.

Edit: Also, it's much better playing through the game as one character. The constant switching in the normal story, even though I enjoyed all their combat styles, just always had you on the back foot. And while I enjoyed V's combat, I'm sailing through his levels much quicker as Vergil.

Still PS4 games for me. Played The Last of Us 2 to completion and just starting out with Death Stranding now. Gave Astro and Miles Morales a whirl just to see what it can do with PS5 games, and will get back to them eventually - after Death Stranding, Valhalla and Cyberpunk.

Yes you can do that. Game will be available to all users. Its a good call to try it out, update it and get games downloaded at least a week before xmas day.

There's also an option on charging for it only to give power to the USB ports for a certain time, so by default it only charges while in rest for the first few hours and then shuts off.

For the headset volume, make sure the console or the games are set to 100% as you might only be getting 100% on the headset but it's 100% of 60%.

Cheers - Yeah first thing I checked, manual slider on headset is 100% and PS5 / Demon Souls voume at 100%.

It's very impressive and delighted with purchase - honestly its hands down the most comfortable and light headset I've ever had (and I've shelled out big reddies on the top end sets in the past).

FX are super crisp and deep but music is on the light side. I have the settings in PC to immersive as suggested by many DS players on reddit - still not 100% on Scoring - but still delighted TBH.

Hey,

I just got the Artics 7P - They're awesome but I'd prefer a higher max volume tbh.

Question,

If I plus the headphones into PS5 via USB to charge will they still charge while PS5 is in rest?

Can I use USB plug to charge them in wall socket?

Thanks!

I think you can choose whether or not to allow the USB ports on the console to still deliver charge while the console is in rest. Wall charging will depend on the headset's battery and the amperage of the wall plug.

None of the launch titles appealed to me, picked up sackboy for my kids and I think I've played it more than they have. Brilliant game

To get both the PS5 and PS4 version of FIFA 21 from a PS4 disc version, do you have to have played the game on your account on a PS4? I don't have a PS4 but I'm worried that if I buy FIFA 21 I'll have trouble finding matches online due to low PS5 supply

Laszlo Cravensworth

I've been a release day purchaser of every PlayStation console except this one. 3 kids under 3 has completely decimated my free time and that's the only reason I didn't let myself get swept up into the frenzy.

That being said I'll probably still pick one up at some stage, and then just stare at it under the tv as it gathers dust while I run around cleaning up baby puke :pac:

The scalpers are starting to slither out from under their rocks. I see some as5hole is selling one on donedeal for €1000. I sincerely hope nobody is desperate enough to pay that.

To those of you who are revelling in the ecstasy of playing your shiny new PS5 for the first time - relish the time. Savour every hour of play and let no one tell you it is a waste of time. A day will likely come when you are too busy to have time to spend on gaming so make hay now while that glorious Sony sun is shining!

To say I'm jealous would be an understatement

Got the platinums in Bugsnax and Miles Morales. Enjoyed them both and my ps5 hasn't crashed since the first weekend I got it so the firmware update must have sorted that.

Only thing I can say I'm disappointed about is the trophy tracking. When it was announced I expected it to work by giving trophies like catch all Bugsnax a visible checklist in the trophy menu but instead it just does nothing.

For Miles Morales it just gave me a percentage for collectible trophies which is fairly useless since they're marked on the in game map, but it gives no percentage for the get x amount of kills with ability y trophies which would actually be helpful.

The counter kept track of Bugsnax in the cards section. But it also had the in-game journal that showed them by areas so it wasn't a necessarily helpful example of it.
