    Yes thank you this is what I’m wondering. If he puts in his date of birth as 13 will that stop him playing 16cert games?

    Yes it probably will, as this is what happened us at the time, he couldn't get online on any game due to his age no matter what it was, we ended up having to set him with an adult account and monitoring what games he earned trophies on...

    If you do set it up, make sure to take payment details (ccard PayPal) off it and just add and delete for every payment... Or just use redeem codes on it

    Yes that’s exactly what I’m doing now with Xbox... any payment or download is with a password that only I have. It’s a pity there isn’t a middle ground.

    A lot of people I know just left the child set it up and the child is set up as adult from the start. Parents have no input what do ever. Which I’m not willing to do. I’ll continue on as I am so. Would like him to have 16s games maybe and chat .

    Thanks a mil

    You are only transferring the ps4 version of the game, if it has a ps5 version then you will have to redownload that

    It's hasn't been given any form of an upgrade at all from the PS4 yet which is a bit crap...

    I think the Xbox can go 120hz though...

    What kind of TV are you using?

    Could be some game calibration guides for it if you type the model number into YouTube?

    Samsung q60r 55 inch . I watched a few videos I went back on the pro last night and the darks were definitely better

    Cold war seems fine and at 120hz too just warzone looks a tad off

    R2 has gone faulty on mine now, the lightest touch registers as a button press now and sometimes sticks.

    Sony's customer service is not too bad (after a 30 min wait) though, have to send it via DPD to get it repaired.

    Thankfully have a DS4 to use for PS4 titles in the interim. Lesson learned, I'll only be using my old DS4 for backwards compatibility games in the future and save the Dualsense for PS5 titles.

    Which is absolutely madness in fairness, paying for a next gen console and having to be selective when using the controller :rolleyes:

    Sony need to sort this **** out.

    I'd say we'll see a big increase in % fails on the Dual Sense compared to the DS4. It was bound to happen when you add more movable parts into it.

    The left analogue on my control is bollocksed on at least one of my controllers, of not both. Really annoying. I got the consoles from Tesco (not sure I kept the receipt) and the extra controller as a gift...

    It sticks 'in' and drifts upward. Can be 'pulled out', but you need to press it to run in a few games. Shoddy.

    Im still searching for a Ps5.
    Should i get the digital or disc version, saw on another thread that the fan in the disc version is quite loud even without a disc in it? Can anyone confirm. I do like the option of having a disc but wouldn't be a dealbreaker to not get one.

    I think you will only hear about the few that might be loud. As mentioned before mines quiet.

    I've never noticed a noise from the PS5 apart from when there's a disc in it.

    See can you find Darkos calibration settings for your TV on YouTube, sometimes you make a donation of a fiver but for my old Samsung MU model it was worth it...

    My Samsung 4K telly got a line of dead pixels after less than 3 year's old so I replaced it with an LGBX

    Same as this. Mine is noisy when there is a disk in (even if its not the game disk it will randomly spin up in the middle of the downloaded game for some reason). That being said when there's no disk i never notice any noise from it.

    My disc version is silent with no disc.

    Hope it's ok to ask here but just trying to figure out something on game share.
    Can both ps5's play the same game at same time? Looking to set it up with a mate and split which games we buy and just want to make sure that if we both want to play say COD that the 2 of us can play it same time even if not playing same Map together.

    Any downside of it? Seems bit too good to be true in that effectively two people can split cost of games they both want to buy

    I got my console the other day, tried to get the ps plus games and some installed no problem(crash, days gone) . I tried to get bloodborne and GOW last night/this morning and both of them are saying they can't be installed? Has anyone come across this before?

    had some issues adding a subset of the games when I initially got the PS5, but resolved itself a few hours later? Not much help I know

    Is it just an error when trying to install or can you not download them at all?. I’ve had issues downloading games where my whole PS5 would lose connection to my wifi and would have to restart the console to fix it, could be that.

    Yeah, the two of ye can play away at the same time. There’s no downside really unless one of ye doesn’t have a internet connection.

    Yep seems to be an issue with the WiFi not connecting. Rebooted the console and all working ok now.
