    Sony really need to update the UI so a long hold on the PS controller button puts the PS5 into restmode or power off. It takes about 10 button presses at the moment.

    It takes 4, hardly the end of the world.

    No it doesn't. It takes 6 so I was off with 10 as well.

    Press PS button
    Press down
    Press left
    Press X
    Press down
    Press X

    It's a step backwards from the PS4 way.

    Go to bottom dock, press power icon, press turn off PS4 or Rest mode - which ever you want to do.

    On the PS4 you could hold down the PS button though to get a shutdown option.

    There's no bottom dock on the PS4?

    Ah now I get you. As I said it's 6 button presses to turn off the console. It was much better on PS4.

    It's on your profile on your PS5 console.

    From the PlayStation 5 home screen, click on your profile avatar in the top right corner. Scroll down to "Profile" and from there, use the D-pad to scroll over to "Games."

    All of your PlayStation 4 and PS5 games will appear in the order they were last played or accessed. Either press "X" or scroll down, and you'll be able to see how long it's been since you played them, your total play hours, and your trophy progress.

    That worked, thanks. So 34 hours to get all trophies in Control and its DLC plus some other side tasks. with that I think I'm done

    Are there any features that the Pulse headset has that you can't get by using a different headset? I know on the PS4 most bluetooth headphones couldn't connect, but if I connect a pair of headphones to the dualsense, will I get the 3d audio thing?

    If you've only got €100 to spend I don't think you'll get better. If you've a bit more to spend I think it's hard to look past the Arctis 7P.

    I'm probably going to get the Sony wh-1000xm4s. Just wondering if they'll work as well with the PS5 as the pulse would.

    I use the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2's with mine. Really really impressed with them.

    I have the Bose Nc700 and while they are better for music and the noise canceling is amazing the Arctis 7p sound better gaming. The 3d audio is much more noticeable with them.

    I also totally agree with the earlier poster about turning off the PS5 taking too many button presses. It is a small thing but it is a step back from PS4. And its something I have to do everytime I play.

    Lastly, when I turn on the PS5 with headphones connected the boot up sound shouldn't play through the tv. That is definitely a bug in my opinion.

    Yeah I’ve noticed the headphone thing too. Minor gripe but shouldn’t happen is right. I tend to turn on the PS before I turn on the TV or switch sources now

    Just on turning of the PS5 and the button presses. It’s just occurred to me now to be honest. If, like me, you use rest mode almost exclusively could you just press the PS button and let the console enter rest mode itself? How long would that take? 5 minutes maybe?

    It works on any headphones.

    Has anybody ever had this before? It’s like a white smudge around the end of the charger (the part that goes into the controller). Is it burning or is this normal and I never knew? It’s the second time I’ve noticed it.

    By chance, a new one was started a couple of days ago, https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058169518

    I pop on the odd time on my days off or at night.

    I would imagine those threads will be active again when it comes out on PS5

    Looks like from the end of April, we should have a nice uptick in games. Returnal being the first and it looks somewhat interesting in scheme of things.

    Loving GTA Online after giving it a break for about 2 years. Missed out on so much and a bit overwhelming when i tried to get back into it a couple of times but spent a few nights lashing into it and back into the swing of things. Also, ps plus owners get 1 million gta dollars each month until the next gen version comes out later this year so worth logging in and getting it before march is over and another mil on 1st April.

    From 1st April, you have to claim the 1 mil from the psn store.

    I'm gonna set up a few businesses this week but will gladly jump on for some crew heists of anyone interested.

    Also if you have Amazon Gaming (Twitch Prime) if you log in every week you get $200,000 plus an extra $200,000 if you log in 4 weeks in a row. I was doing this for most of last year along with the 1 million from PS Plus.

    You also get extra discounts through amazon gaming
