Mine is lost somewhere. Amazon just says:

We're sorry your package is running late
We're working to get your package back on track, and we'll let you know when your package is out for delivery.
Please come back Sunday if you still don't have it and we'll help you out.

SUNDAY!!!

It's Amazon though, they will look after you. They will deal with it on Sunday and will likely just refund it though(which isn't helpful) and might still even turn up.

I've never had to deal with them with a high value item though so maybe the rules might be different and you could be asked to wait longer and be given a bribe(few quid in vouchers to wait). Dunno

Sorry to hear that though .

I wouldn't get too hung-up too much on the suspected coil-whine stories doing the rounds, I don't know whether its people expecting more of a high-pitched noise (which would be something to really worry about). Its akin to more of a barely registered hum, but it won't be picked up by everyone.
Have heard three PS5s today, and only one could be considered noticeable with audio muted. The others do have a hum, but only detectable within a foot or so. The consoles in general are just more substantially quiet than before so you are tuned to pick up on anything, and if Sony even address the stories, I suspect they'll call it 'normal operation'.

There have been a few videos of extreme cases, so there might be definite issues with some, but its a very subjective measure IMO and its entirely possible mics are being placed almost inside the units. Overall, I'd say the Series X is the more quiet, but all things being equal I'd rate the PS5 quite good so far in its audible operation.

Still full price there unfortunately.

One look on twitter and it seems a widespread problem at least. Hopefully will be resolved soon.

Loving it, copying over my ps4 pro settings and games/saves etc atm.
Astro is great fun, love how it shows off the controller.
What version of spider man was that i should get if i hadnt ever played it before?

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition?

Downloaded stuff and then got a weird notification on my phone. PS App notified me stuff was installed and ready to use. Mad Ted

Was playing Miles Morales when the PS5 just shut down out of nowhere. When I booted it up, it was repairing the console and then said issue with external hard drive

Shyte man, hopefully nothing too major but sounds like they need to patch the external hdd issues.

The loading or lack thereof in Demon's Souls is mental!

Played some more of astro bot. Going to have the song from the GPU level stuck in my head all night :pac:

Booted up my disc copy of GTA 5 and it took only about 10 seconds to load once past the splash screens. Of course, loading into gta online still takes about half an hour but hopefully Rockstar will work on that for the ps5 version.

Also for anyone interested in gta online with ps plus, you get 1 million in game cash every month you log in until the ps5 version launches next year. There's also a deal with Amazon prime/twitch gaming where you get a certain amount every week you login.

got my ps5 digital from gamestop delighted

Jesus lads, playing CoD without paddles on my controller is seriously tough. I’m debating installing the PS4 version so I can use my DS4.

And has a play now button. Do they allow remote play on the phone?

With all the references to other games in Astro, I'm just constantly thinking "I really need to play that"

Got it back up and running but after happening again, might leave the stuff on external for a while

Anyone else’s PS5 randomly rebooting itself? At least I think it’s rebooting... just black screens and then comes back.

There’s a setting you can adjust if you experience that that type of thing. Set to -1 or -2 or something.

Hardly a dodgy HDMI?

Seems to be going grand now just after posting that. HDMI will be my first port of call if it does happen again tho.

Bit of a loud fan atm but I presume that’s just from copying across files from a PS4 disc.

Anybody got access to their PS4 cloud saves on their PS5?

Nothing there for me.

Yeah, weren’t there by default, but when I went into settings there was an option to download PS4 cloud saves. Lists them all and lets you choose which ones to download.

Tried that already, but when I select download to console storage, I get a "something went wrong" error.

Had that I restarted and it was back.
