Is this hum coil whine, or the disc drive? Haven't set mine up yet to hear for myself.

Itâ€™s definitely louder than Iâ€™d expected and hoped. Iâ€™ve mine up against a wall so thinking the sound is just bouncing off it too. Sounds more like the fan spinning than any coil noise to me.

Thats what I have as well sounds like a fan noise with a bit clicking (might be an exaggeration).

I'll take a video of mine tonight playing astro if you want to compare it yours, see if it sounds similar.

It sounds like coil whine but it's not very clear on the clip.

I'd an old GPU that had it and it used to drive me mad but I was sitting right beside the PC.

Batesy · 19-11-2020 7:40pm

I’m only playing digital games too at the minute with nothing in the drive.

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

Nothing, three emails, two tweets and four unanswered phone calls! But they took the fkn money

Gonzo · 19-11-2020 7:42pm

I couldn't resist setting mine up, was going to wait another week for more critical updates to arrive. PS5 seems great so far, I disabled rest mode immediately and updated everything. Copied Ghost of Tsushima over and the disc drive hums fairly loudly when copying data but quietens down when finished copying data. Playing Astro right now and loving it and the new controller. Touch wood everything continues to work fine and there will be no crashes, database rebuilds or audible coil whine.

Downloading demon's souls, nba 2k21 patch (30 fecking gb) and days gone. Lobbed it into rest mode cuz danger is my middle name and will lash into demon's souls tonight.

I'm only getting 30mbs instead of 50 from my isp today so it's slowing downloads, will have to ring them in morning if it's the same.

Just got a nice ping from ps app 'demon's is ready to play'. Cool little feature.

Also, astro, beaming finding the little references. Jumped on the boat with Kratos and Atreus on the beach and made it through the wind turbine that i can only imagine it's the fan from the ps4 pro

Was just about to post the same thing. I thought it was some kind of added audio effect to mimic the winds of helheim, but having played it on the ps5, this is not the case

Gyms still open?

Seems like a lot, when will it be delivered? Disc version?

.G. · 19-11-2020 7:54pm

Just stopping by to say Astro is genius. So many great reminders of PlayStation history and such a good game. Never played the VR one.

Carry on

I played the vr one in the summer, the greatest gaming experience since i first played Mario on the nes, took me back to the child like amaze balls feeling that you just don't get these days as our expectations are so high.

Everyone needs to experience Astro in VR.

Dont know any details, gonna grill her now when she gets out of the shower

CastorTroy · 19-11-2020 8:04pm

For Astro I've only played

CPU plaza so far. Enjoyed going around and getting all the jigsaw pieces. Just starting Cooling Springs

Damo 2k9 · 19-11-2020 8:07pm

My god, what a console. The UI, Astro’s Playroom. I cannot wait to hunker down for the winter and play some really good games.

I would say its been at least 3-5 years since I have completed a single player game, never played either of TLOU, days gone, uncharted etc. I cant wait!

CoD downloading, just beware it was downloading both PS4 and PS5 for me for some reason, so just watch out for that if yous are downloading it.

HairySalmon · 19-11-2020 8:07pm

I booted up Astro and I actually got a freight when I pressed X and the vibration was so intense!

Took a while to get used to how crazy detailed it is but it’s fantastic

Had console on all day since about 10am no real issues . Didn’t play it all day cos installing games . Played miles morales( unreal game ) for a hour and Astro bot for half hour and no problems . Was only there at 7pm it crashed for first time due to me inserting modern warfare ps4 disc & trying install it . Crashed a couple more times & then when it didn’t crash the coil whine started , very loud . Turned it off to give it a break cos on nearly 10 hours on trot downloading and installing games . Hopefully it’s not a long term issue & just needs a rest

Tubbs4 · 19-11-2020 8:19pm

Got my from gamestop this morning and back with dpd yo give to Sony to fix. Wont display on tv. Was onto support twice as first didn't put through the request right.

I hope she knows she'll be paying import fees/taxes on top of that if you're in Ireland ordering from StockX

Fantastic story, Gyms will be closed till January at the earliest by my reckoning.
She will also have to pay customs fees along with €700.

Good story tho

petes · 19-11-2020 8:25pm

Played it since before 12 until about 6:30!

Was great, played Astro for about an hour and Demon's Souls for about 5..

Played a bit of Resi 7 and have Sekiro downloaded also. Can wait until tomorrow or in about half an hour I'll have an itch to play some more ha.

CastorTroy · 19-11-2020 8:26pm

So did everyone leave Astro

on the title screen for a wee while and feel the different textures he ran over?

Reply from your post from ages ago but having the same issue here. Can't see an upgrade for love nor money for my disc version.

SomeSayKos · 19-11-2020 8:30pm

Just fired up sekiro out of curiosity. 60fps! I'm totally doing another play through when I finish demons souls.
Speaking of demons souls, its savage! Theres a real heft off each sword hit.

DPD lad dropped the box while taking it out of the van but luckily enough everything is working fine. I cant believe how quiet it is!

Try it through the PS App.

DeWitt · 19-11-2020 8:35pm

Right so I had all my PS4 stuff transferred to an external hard drive via USB.... when I plug the USB into the PS5 it's only listing about half of the games under the "move" option, but shows them all under the "delete" option. TLOU2 is coming up under the delete option only, not listed under move. Any theories, do I need to insert the disc in order to copy the data to console memory?

Batesy · 19-11-2020 8:37pm

Just wondering, anyone know wheres the safest bet for US PSN Codes these days?
Used to just use Amazon.com but can't seem to complete a purchase.

Xenji · 19-11-2020 8:37pm

Demon's Souls less than 10 minutes to copy 30GB of data, 68 minutes to copy a 9GB update file, something's never change.

Do you think I'm lying?

padair · 19-11-2020 8:48pm

Got my ps5 and I am underwhelmed. I trrew on sackboy and it took quite a while for it to copy over befor I can play. I thought ok fair enough first-timers is copying over, I took out the disk, restarted and when I put the disc back in it took 6 minutes to copy again before I could play. The game is installed but needs to copy again .

Could someone else test this out on their machine as it is driving me nuts

Jim Leahy · 19-11-2020 8:49pm

I think people are more interested in issues related to the PS5 console rather than your wife.

Berty · 19-11-2020 8:53pm

I swear I either won't ever buy Samsung again or just not such Entry level RU7100 50" TV. It hated the Sky Q Silver box and now despises the PS5. I have had to safe boot the thing twice because it flickers the screen, basically black screen of death. Regardless of which HDMI port, I know that If I send it for repair they will not connect it to an entry level 4K so won't replicate it. I can't believe I've had to consider these warranty options on day one.

To be fair when I turned it on it had a software update which I did but when I did a safe boot I chose Software update and it found another one. I doubt that will help because the Sky Q issue was easily resolved by powering cycling the TV, doesn't happen with the PS5 though.

johnny_ultimate · 19-11-2020 8:53pm

Surreal to be playing Demon’s Souls in a flawless 60 FPS. Had one slight glitch when I opened the first shortcut in 1-1 but otherwise it’s a heck of a thing. The visual makeover doesn’t hurt, but by god From got that game flow down first time around.

Wow, I’m now a believer in the Dualsense and I will pay for a full length Astro Bot PS5 game!

Doctor Jimbob · 19-11-2020 9:02pm

Haven't had much of a chance to play yet but very impressed so far. Everything seems so fast and slick. The controller is fantastic. Even just holding it before I turned anything on it felt more premium than the DS4. Astro is just incredible.

My digital version is quiet as a mouse. Not a sound out of it.

Berty · 19-11-2020 9:09pm

I've had the similar issue with Valhalla, installed and just put the disc back in and wants to copy it all over again. Weird. Obviously some glitch in the PS matrix somewhere.

TBH, I've seen a few stutters, first time was was around the shortcut alright, plus rolling about etc.
Still a game-changing upgrade all the same, but I suspect there'll be similar hitches in level traversal throughout the game.
