    I’ve the dongle in the front to maximize coverage and the charging cable and external SSD in the rear. Not sure what I’ll use the usb-c for to be honest.

    Question to anyone with the pulse headset

    Seeing as there is only 1 usb on front of machine how is one supposed to use the dongle and the charging cable at the same time (to say, charge a controller)

    Does the dongle use the usb c port?

    Are we expected to use the rear of the machine?

    Picked up the console today and thought it was strange

    Could you get a USB C adapter/duplicator thingy that would plug into the one USB C on one end and then two USB C ports on the other side?

    Cheers,
    M

    Two things

    I wish there is a way to change the running light colour from white to blue??

    Transitioning from xbox over the last three consoles, placement of the "x" button is driving me crazy

    I’ve had so many error messages already :eek: First of all neither demon’s souls or MM wanted to copy from disc so I restarted the ps5 and was able to install MM but no luck with DS yet. Can’t see anything wrong with the disc but gave it a clean anyway. Then tried to update MM got another error message, no can do.

    Got another error message when trying to download Astro’s playroom but eventually managed to get the download starting. Tried DS again but got a different error message this time, refuses to copy from disc, I’ll probably come back to it tomorrow.

    Losing count of the amount of delightful flourishes in Astro’s Playroom, and have only played through two levels (need to ration the good ****!). The little Spyro in Labo is a particular delight :)

    I think this might have been mentioned when the new phone app came out, but now the PS5 is out some of the features have a point.

    I'd a game downloading and got a notification on the phone when the PS5 had finished downloading a game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭heebusjeebus


    Ha ha, went wild downloading games that I only partially played on the PS4 (like Prey. Stopped playing that because of the nausea caused by the frame rate).
    I now have 41GB space left on my 1 day old console!

    Loving it though. It's whisper quiet, even after an hour and a bit of Demon's Souls.

    If you click play now(I think that's what it says), it will start that game on your PS5 for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Wee tip I found for Astro. If you don't like blowing into the mic, placing your thumb on it had the same effect. Or is this one of those things everyone knows?

    What what are peoples thoughts on the PS5 Disc version and the noise the disc makes while spinning in the PS5?I’m finding mine distractingly loud.

    It’s weird my PS4 made absolutely no noise at all when a disk was spinning but the fan was crazy loud and now the PS5 the fan is really quiet but the disk winning in the PS5 is irritating.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭bdmc5


    Disc. Not a tap out of the fan.

    What are about any noise from the disc spinning in the PS5 ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    This is the noise I'm getting when running a game. Is yer noise similar?

    https://twitter.com/DarkMarkGaming/status/1329493630541770754?s=19

    I think I'm getting the exact same as you but i think it's fine. Although I'm coming from a Pro with a jet engine. I can hear the PS5 but i don't have to turn up tv volume to hear the games like i did with the ps4 so it's good by me.

    As for disc noise, yeah it kicks in now and again but not a patch on ps4, this sounds like a normal amount of noise of ps5.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭bigron2109


    Just had a couple of games of DIRT. WOW what a game. The graphics on it are second to none. It’s so smooth and slick. It’s a fun game too.

    Thanks so much zero I really appreciate that. Seems about the same alright as mine and puts my mind at ease.


  • Registered Users Posts: 509 ✭✭✭HairySalmon


    Finished Astrobot and it was amazing. I was smiling through parts of it.

    I’ve told myself I’m platinuming it before moving over to Spider-Man. The built in guide for collectibles is fantastic and I didn’t need to look up a YouTube video once!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,474 ✭✭✭Niska


    While the UI will take some getting use to (e.g. method of powering off PS5), the responsiveness, and the way the store, PS Plus and PS NOw are integrated is fantastic.

    On the PS Plus Collection, tested if you add to the library on PS 5 if it's available on the PS 4 from then on. (Was speculated on earlier but didn't see confirmation)

    Added Crash Bandicoot via the PS 5 and was able to download and play it on the PS 4 afterwards.

    I very much appreciate that there’s just a toggle to automatically put all PS4 games on an external HDD.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So ends Astro. Might try and platinum it. Will see what it involves.

    Great short game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 579 ✭✭✭keyboard_cat


    Had to reinstall the system data on my ps5 twice now. I have heard of issues caused by using rest mode or downloading a game while playing another but I have not done either of these things first time it happened was after about an hour of playing Astro and the second time was while deleting corrupted demon souls data because it kept failing to install.
    Is anyone else having issues like this? It seems insane that the system software could be this unstable or have I just got a dud ps5


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Was just playing Astro for last few hours seriously fun little game! Free or not well worth a look really shows off the controller.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,035 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    Must say it's alarming how many people seem to be experiencing issues in such a small sample size here.

    I only really noticed it while installing demons souls to be honest and even then it sounded pretty quiet.
    In general I have to physically put my head next to the ps5 to hear any sound. Mad that people are having such differing experiences with it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭Gyan84


    Finished Astro Bot as well. Great little game and I'll get the platinum tomorrow once I find the last few puzzle pieces.

    In terms of noise, my console has only been loud for 15 seconds when I started up my disc copy of GTA and there was also one random time during astro bot when the fans went full speed for 20 seconds. I do wear headphones though so I wouldn't notice most noise.

    Has anyone found a way to get rid of the orange mic light on the controller while still having the mic muted ? Sony finally removed the massive flashlight that was the Dualshock 4 light bar and then go and add another light to the controller :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,047 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    So my ps5 keeps crashing at the screen on Cod when I need to accept the terms and conditions.

    Can only play it offline at the moment. Tried it about 5 times. Seems to be a common issue when I searched online


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    Absolutely loved Astro. So much so I got my first ever platnium trophy. The nostalgia, the haptics, the end. Everything was just so lovely.

    I have a feeling though I may have to lesser the resistance on the triggers. Felt my fingers getting sore.

    One thing I've noticed with capturing video on the ps5: If I capture a ps5 game its full hd at 60fps. But I seem to be getting different results when I capture a ps4 game. Some look perfect like sekiro at 60fps, but a couple of other games I've tried to capture footage look lower res (tetris effect) or only 30 fps.

    Strange !

    Wtf am I doing wrong it’s just crashed again needing a full system reinstall I have spent more time setting up the thing then I have had actually playing it.
    (This time I think it was caused by me unplugging the usb that contained the recovery file) :/

    Is Game Help in Astro's Playroom? I couldn't find the option :o

    EDIT: - Oh I found it. This is super useful!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 162 ✭✭Daxve


    It was far more effort to set up than I thought it would be. No matter what I did I couldn't link it to my PS4 to transfer data neither wifi or LAN would work. The few times it did recognise the PS4 the data transfer never occurred despite the PS4 going through the transfer process and then the PS5 got stuck on the transfer screen so I had to power off to reset it

    In the end I had to transfer my PS4 save game data by external HD and I installed the few games I wanted to carryover from the disc or downloaded them again. Both disc install and download are definitely faster. I was wary of using LAN and external HD due to reports of issues but I didn't experience any problems. I've shut off rest mode and few other things that are known to cause issues for now. The new power off will take a bit of getting used to.

    MM took 3 goes to install off the disc. The first time it stalled out at 15 gb I found the tiniest finger print on the disc and cleaning it solved that issue but the drive must be very sensitive for it to have been an issue. Even after getting it installed it disappeared and I had to reinstall again. Seems to be holding now got a few hours in and other than the disc spinning up every now and then there's no noise from the PS5 and the load speeds are great. All good now that a few teething problems are out of the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,035 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    Disturbed by all these reported issues...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Add another. Was on my way to platinum Astro. Just getting the remaining trophies when 1 notification wouldn't go away. I went on to get the next and it didn't popup. Tried holding the PS button and nothing happened. So decided to try turn it off and on. Power button just beeped and did nothing. So turned it off at the switch.
    Turn it back on and started doing what I assume was a rebuild. Go into Astro and save is gone.
    Still showing that I have the trophies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,035 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    :o jasus

    Finally secured a PS5 today but wont be able to have a go for a couple of weeks.

    Hope to god all this shıte is ironed out by then. Seemingly crazy level of issues.

    Only thing I'll say is the supposed noise levels seems a complete non issue from videos ive seen.

    It doesn't sound like a 1950s hair dryer so it's a massive improvement on the PS4 Pro!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,659 ✭✭✭quokula


    Finished Astro and got all artefacts and puzzle pieces. Thought it might actually be my first ever platinum but looks like there’s a bunch of hidden trophies and I’m not going to go looking for them as I’m not pushed about trophies. Absolutely wonderful game though, huge smile on my face the whole way through.

    I know a lot was made of the use of haptics in reviews, but honestly for me that took a back seat to just how much fun the game was and all of the nostalgia and Easter eggs to find.

    The speed with which you could jump in and out of different levels instantly and use the activity cards for hints was a total game changer when hunting down the last few puzzle pieces.

    After Astro I played a little bit of Miles Morales. The load times are unbelievable. Looks great in high fidelity mode too. Haven’t played much beyond the initial intro sequence though, got as far as the first time I’m in control in the open world and just looked around a little bit. Will play more at the weekend.

    Thats BS. your contract is with Smyths not with Sony for the first 12 months.

    I hate when they try pull that crap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 993 ✭✭✭bigslick


    My Smyths pre-order arrived this afternoon and haven't stopped tinkering with it since!! My seperately ordered games have not yet showed up, but thankfully the PS collection has kept me very busy!! Played God of War for the past 3 hours and COD Zombies prior.

    Like others there is some fan noise (Disc version) identical to videos posted but nothing like the PS4 Jet I had.

    ASTRO is incredible and showcases the controller so well!! Will have to put Alot more time into it.

    Fingers crossed that Valhalla and MM show up tomorrow so I can see the full power of the console. Guess I better turn it off now and hit bed. Oh well, a great launch day comes to an end 😊


  • Registered Users Posts: 305 ✭✭Parsnips


    Valhalla for me first. ( Glad I didnt get the ps4 version on what Im reading above)

    Looks like CP2077 is defo for December release.
    I will be all over that. New gameplay clips looks amazing.

    Also Glad to read there is a very visuaL improvement for Apex Legens on PS5.

    HAPPY DAYS

    I'm thinking I'll hold off on buying a PS5 for a good while.

    Even when it's available I think I'll wait.

    Not liking these reports from people saying they keep having to reset/restart their system data, or that they keep getting error messages while updating a game.

    I'm also very nervous of that disc drive. I have been through 3 PS4 consoles that all had the same problem where after a while the drive just stopped reading my discs and stopped installing them. I'm nervous the same thing will occur with this, and it seems people are already having issues where the PS5 is giving error messages while installing a disc.

    I dunno if these issues can be fixed with a patch or a new revision but as it stands I'm less sold on it than I was

    TBH my excitement for the new console is completely gone, i cannot install install any games (disk or online) without it crashing at some point requiring the sw to be reinstalled (had to do this probably 6 -8 times now) and then i have to go through the full initial setup.
    Have only manage to play an hour or so of astro (which i cannot continue as the game was removed after the first reinstall of the system and now requires downloading to get back which fails)
    The bit of astro i did get to play was amazing however

    Spent most of yesterday on my Digital Edition. It's so quiet I can't quite believe it after having a PS4 Pro that I used to wear headphones when playing because it was so loud.

    Astro is a joy. The platforming is really good apart from anything else, would absolutely be interested in a fully fledged out game.

    Have my PS4 games on an external HD and it's worked fine so far. Even left it in rest mode last night downloading and it just popped back to life when I pressed the PS button.

    I'm hoping after the arrival she was subjected to, my PS5 is a toughie :) (touch wood touch wood)

    One thing I'm keeping an eye on but is it possible to accidentally download two versions of a game? I had MK11 on the external HD. Went to the store and it says there's a free PS5 upgrade. It seems to be downloading that separately to the system HD. Off to work now so will see what happens when home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,496 ✭✭✭recyclops


    Are most of the problems appearing on one type of console. I ordered digital but gave away and was gonna use the extra save time to go disc. Now thinking just go digi again?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,068 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    Really looking forward to playing Astro more than anything, then it will be my first time trying Days Gone which I have been wanting to play for ages.


  • Registered Users Posts: 450 ✭✭dingledosser


    The new app is great, very responsive. My PS5 is in the office, so last night I was able to select and download dozens of games to it from home. Into the office shortly to do a day of important research, can’t be disturbed!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,709 ✭✭✭shrewdness


    I've a disc version and basically no issues so far. It was a little noisy when installing Miles Morales from disc, but once the installation was finished it quietened immediately. No noise when playing the game either. Then had Demons Souls and a few PS4 games downloading in the background while I played, but no noise of those.

    For now I'm avoiding doing anything which caused issues for others (putting in rest mode, using external drive etc.), and hopefully that sort of thing is fixed with a patch soon.
