    My friends PlayStation crashed a lot however he wasn't using the provided hdmi cable nor did he wait for Astro to update. So may be worth checking them for the poster having trouble.

    New shiny console for new shiny thread! Huge thanks once again to Wing for posting the Smyths link when they did. Seeing the madness of the other stock thread, Argos not getting any, Gamestop.... being Gamestop. Thank You!!

    Best of luck to everyone still in their search of one. As for me, I'm one happy, happy man.

    To Future Zero reading this while waiting for your PS6 to arrive, I hope your year is going better than the absolute ****show that is 2020.

    20 minutes into owning it and I'm in safe mode now as the firmware update didn't go well.

    I downloaded it off the site while I was waiting for the courier, and updating normally now seems to have worked.

    Updating controller now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 678 ✭✭✭SomeSayKos


    Initial thoughts : very quiet, quick, dualsense is fantastic, Astrobot is lovely. Got the update and transfer from ps4 done pretty quick. The console is big. Cant quite find a satisfying place to put it but whatever!

    Now it's time for demons souls!


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


    DPD just dropped mine off, happy days. Now to set up this big fella!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,636 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Never really had issue with the PS4 downloads, just tended to let the machine handle it in rest mode.....probably not as quick as the Xboxes, but nothing major, but I did like utilising the app to kick off the downloads this morning (hadn't tried it out with the PS4 previous to this).
    Quick, responsive, download queues seem fine (heard some US users concern with this) and fast

    Don't overlook Astro's Playroom just because it's preinstalled and free. It's fantastic. I've just finished the SSD level which was brilliant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 124 ✭✭TheYardStick


    Serious heart in mouth stuff earlier as I saw the DPD van go by and checked the tracking only to see, to my horror, it was marked delivered 5 minutes later. Luckily enough I was able to get through to the depot who put me onto the driver and explained he'd delivered it to a neighbour by mistake.

    I've never moved with as much haste and determination in my life. Neighbours must surley have mistaken me for Indiana Jones after the Ark of the Covenant. Anyway, I rescued it in the end without any hassle and have it setting up at home now!

    With a bit of luck now that'll be the end of my stress over this fecking console!

    Was the first thing I noticed. I set up the console after it arrived and set Demons Souls and MM to download before running off to a meeting, was shocked to see them both ready to go when the meeting was over!

    It brings me no joy in being able to confirm my suspicions that Astro’s Playroom would be a wee lil masterpiece.

    Oh did I say no joy? I meant much joy :)

    Nearly had a heart attack with the delivery. DPD dropped it off and we're almost back in the van by the time I got the door open. Brought it in and noticed the damage.

    Uh oh...

    Wherever hit the box tore all the way through the packaging. Few frantic moments while I check the console... No marks, that's good. Set it up and everything seems to be grand. It's so quiet it's almost unnerving. Have my PS4 stuff downloading.

    Not picked a PS5 game yet. Genuinely torn between Spiderman, Demons Souls and Valhalla.

    If you haven't played 2018 Spider-Man, I'd recommend Spider-Man Ultimate Edition, you're getting a next-gen showcase game plus Spider-Man Remastered in one bundle. Be cautious of Demon's Souls if you get frustrated by dying a lot in games, but if you like challenging games it'll be right up your alley.

    Valhalla is a good all rounder and I've been enjoying playing it on Series X. It's not revolutionary by any means, but I'm finding it very fun to play through. I'd also recommend making a second US account and buying through that using gift cards bought online, you'll save a fortune.

    Collected my pre order this morning and managed to nab another PS5 on Amazon for a relative this afternoon

    Anyone here have any idea when the new orders placed with Amazon today will be delivered?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,152 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    PS5 would drive you mad or at least me.

    Didn't get around to turning it on till about 11am even though I had it at 8:28am. Some would be angry to hear that. I was trying to buy another one online, of course I was(Nephew is due one from Santa)

    So the Samsung 4K TV really really doesn't like the PS5 and Vice Versa. It really wouldn't accept the system until I had Game mode on, it was a black screen of death for quite a while till I figured it out then told me HDR didn't even work on my TV. That was some other lost time as well. Sorted that. Yes I missed the first power on screen but I got around that by doing a factory reset because of the next issue I created for myself.

    Then it stalled the PS4>PS5 Transfer so like a complete idiot I powered one off and for a while bricked the PS4. It got trapped in transfer mode even with multiple restarts, power cable out etc. Eventually found I had to do a Safe Reboot by holding down the power button when off for about 10 seconds and then I updated the firmware and all was good. It was all because I wanted to speed up the transfer by connecting a LAN cable.

    For now it's too early to say but I'm coming from a day one PS4 to a day one PS5 so I know I'll like it. I did play a bit of Astro, meh. It is as Meh as the first Astro way back when. Something to entertain yourself while the rest of the your discs/games install I suppose.

    Got a few mins into Valhalla, yes it looks great. But I shall return with HDR on and have another look .


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Greenfields40


    Hi guys,

    Does the ps5 work in the same way if you have one account with playstation plus your other accounts can play online multiplayer also?

    I have two psn accounts - one with playstation plus and my main proper psn account that i play on daily.

    When i transferred my data and accounts to the ps5 today from my ps4 my other account (does not have ps plus) was not able to play online multi player and it said i needed playstation plus.

    Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Quick blast of Astro, just brilliant, obviously not as special as the VR version but it's still a delight and the DS5 is magical. Going through my settings, i clicked info my account and it said it needed to rebuild the database. Lump in my throat, i clicked okay. Screen went off and back to the home screen. Jesus.

    Trying to download my cloud saves but 15 minutes later, it's still calculating remaining time, think it might be stuck.

    Have to reposition the telly a bit but managed to squeeze it in.

    Did Amazon have them up for sale today?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,152 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Greenfield, yes I'd like to learn more about that as well because I've a ps plus on my secondary UK account.

    So far I was able to log into it and download a free ps game from this month but it's showing locked now when I sign back over. Wasn't that way on the PS4.

    Now I'm installing RDR2 right now so can't really check until that's done but here's hoping. Imagine having to drop another 60 quid on a fresh sub.

    EDIT. Think I've found it. Sign into your PSplus account and go to user and accounts and then other and then console sharing and offline play.

    On my main user that was enabled but on my ps plus user it was not. I've now enabled that and now the ps game I downloaded isn't locked.

    Is that it? Give me a like and subscribe to my channel. You guys rock!


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


    Got my console delivered and have it downloading Bugsnax and Spider Man now.


    My one seems to be a bit loud but I'm hoping it'll quieten down once I have my disk version of miles morales installed.


    Did get a corrupted harddrive error but it was back up and running within 15 seconds.


    For placing it on the stand horizontally, does it just connect with the two little clips ? That's how I did it but it seems fairly shaky, also I already hate the disk drive being obscured under the white piece.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Apologies for the repeat question but it's gotten lost in the madness on the last thread..

    Those that ordered pulse headset from curry's the other day have ye recieved any update? I've no order on my account to check the status of! I've emailed them but as expected zero reply


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,805 ✭✭✭lertsnim


    Has anyone managed to upgrade the PS4 disc version of AC Valhalla to the PS5 version for free? I can't see an upgrade option anywhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,286 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Got it set up on temporary basis. Original placement planned was foiled by short Hdmi lead. But will need to rearrange things anyway when the camera adapter arrives

    Not sure if this will work.

    With disk in PS5 go to Valhalla on the store, see if there is a download option.
    If there is, click on the 3 dots beside download and there should be an option to download PS5 version.

    Unfortunately it is only offering full price downloads. Probably just a glitch that will be rectified

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,152 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I'd have preferred it they stuck with the disc drive being the same way around as other vertical playstations.

    It's like they installed it assuming everybody would have console horizonal. Either way, I'll get used to it but I did put the first disc in the wrong way. Oh it didn't like that one bit.

    Sorry for the stupid question

    Have digital version of the Witcher 3 but I only see PS4 option available. Is this the enhanced version that cd projekt said would be include enhancements? Or should I be waiting for one that says “PS5” a la CoD version problems :)

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,399 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Was playing Cold War Zombies when it shutdown.
    Took a minute to power back on and it did a rebuild.

    Reading about too many of them on here for my liking.

    Was working flawlessly when I was playing Demon's Souls earlier.

    Not out until next year unfortunately, same as Cyberpunk 2077 PS5.

    Spiderman is excellent so far. Went for the 30fps but better graphics option.

    Just noticed there while updating Warframe, the copying is still taking ages.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,056 ✭✭✭sticker


    Quick one. I have 2 PS4s - One Pro downstairs and another in the attic for my son (primary) so he can play online on hios profile with my Plus subscription.

    Do I need to make the new PS5 (if GS ever send it) a primary to work or can I continue to use this same setup?

    Thanks

    Already missing the ‘hold down PS button to access power options” feature. I mean it’s not complicated on the PS5, but muscle memory and all that :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    Hmm. So I've finished the set up, updated the console and controller firmware etc, then I started to look around the UI/PS Store etc. and my console has slowed to a crawl.

    I'm hoping it's just because Miles Morales is currently installing from the disk, which also seems to be taking quite a while to do, and that it bounces back after that's done.

    Maybe the FUD from other people reporting trouble has gotten to me and I'm worrying over nothing :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Also, just 1 download at a time??

    Same here. Watched a video of an Aussie guy upgrading his Valhalla PS4 copy and the option just doesn’t exist on my store.

    I think it’s not recognising that the PS4 disc is inserted so not giving me the option to upgrade? Tried with Watchdogs as well and it’s the same.

    Hopefully they get it fixed ASAP
