Gaming PlayStation 5

Any reason why you haven't cancelled the second order?

Because I’d rather sell it to someone I know then cancel the order and have it bought by a bot within half a second.

Just seen eBay user called Pexbo_mufc, who has a PS5 listed. You really are the lowest of the lowest.
 
Mine just did a system and controller update. Not sure what’s changed though.
 
Got the email from base offering me one on the next shipment.

Was gonna save money and wait a while til something I really wanna play comes out.

Didn’t wait.

Oops.
 
Mine too, no idea what’s happened.

Sony has released a brand new system update for the PlayStation 5.

PS5 system update 20.02.-02.30.00 can be downloaded and installed when you next login.

The new update makes some much-needed improvements to a system that has been a little unstable since launch.

Indeed, according to the firmware patch notes, system performance has been improved. Hopefully this fixes issues with the console crashing.

Elsewhere, the new update resolves an issue with data transfers and downloads. Prior to the update, some users were experiencing cancelled downloads during PS4 data transfers.

Sony has also fixed a text input issue issue with select PlayStation 4 games. The problem was causing errors when typing in text.

Finally, and perhaps most welcome of all, the new system update improves connection stability for some Wi-Fi routers.
 
My Amazon order was scheduled for the 16th but is due in the next hour or two. I guess the stock was released by Sony early. I reckon there will be one more stock drop before Christmas*


*Note this is my own opinion and I don’t want other adults on the forum to think I am an expert and to make erroneous calls of judgement because of me.
Pexdaddy Mac back in the groove for a-nother shipment.

 
Can anyone offer advice regarding when to buy a ps5?

Im quite happy with my ps4 at the moment as I only play fifa 21 and have heard the difference in gameplay between the two consoles in quite nominal.

Is it worth waiting for a few months for the price to drop (if that is the case) or just buy it ASAP? Thanks in advance.

You will be waiting years for a significant price drop.

Game might end up bundling it with godfall or something down the line, but that's about it
 
How's the noise of everyone's system? When I'm on the dashboard it's near silent, although I've realised it's at its worst when playing Spiderman Remastered.

There's the coil whine, which is to be expected, but there's also a light buzzing noise, which goes away as soon as I go to the dash (even when the game hasn't been closed completely).

Playing ps4 games and Fifa, it's also a bit whiney, but not quite as bad as on Spiderman. Wearing headphones it's not noticeable when in game, although I can still hear it when there's quiet sections, and I'm sat about 6ft away

No noise at all for me, but with the caveat that the only games I've played so far are Astro, Days Gone, Bugsnax and God of War.

Yeah, doesn't sound like anything too stressing on the system!

Hopefully just an anomaly with Spiderman because it seems to do weird stuff to the ps5, with a lot of the crashes etc. That people had being attributed to this game mainly.

Also highly doubt anything can be done from Sony's side, as it's not affecting the performance of the system at all, and seems like every console sounds different to an extent.

Agreed - basically there will be no need for them to drop the price for a long time.
 
I think I just picked one up from Amazon - was 50 quid more than RRP but the company has loads of legit feedback
 
Ps5 is currently copying an update to Spiderman. Not near as slow as PS4, but far from lightning fast either.


Just got home from work and started the cyberpunk download. Not sure it will be done in time for midnight, but I am off tomorrow and hope to play a lot of it
 
My COD Cold War digital version broke, havent played it for a while but it downloaded an update a couple days ago and would no longer launch when i tried to boot it.

I deleted it as the games crap anyway, but just a warning not sure what caused it was fine a couple of days ago.

Got the error code CE-100008-9

Hate to say it but mine is deathly silent and all I've played is Spiderman. Only had one crash so far but otherwise no issues at all.
 
Destiny 2 on PS5 is brilliant with the update

60 FPS at 4K it looks stunning
 
What's the size of the initial patch just to get the PS5 up and running. Mine arrived today but I've got limited Internet until tomorrow so wondering if I should even bother trying to play astros for an hour or so?

I think it's just luck of the draw on what fan you got :(

A French site did a few teardowns and found out that there's 3 types of fans, with varying degrees of fan noise. People seem to think that the ones in the official teardown video are the quietest, and think that mine's the medium noised one.

Might be worth selling it on and trying my luck with another in the future, if their value holds, once they can easily be bought again. Would only be logical if I can sell and buy at the same price though, not sure it's worth taking a loss on something that has no effect other than some noise, and might end up with a similar/worse one.
 
Played Astros last night for the first time, moving the pad to steer the jet pack is a skill I just do not have, took me an age
 
I asked in the Cyberpunk thread but it's been drowned out about people being shocked the base PS4 is struggling with the game.

If I requested a refund and then ended up changing my mind and played the game I'm not going to get account banned or anything?
 
P-Nut0712 if anyone wants to add me to laugh at my times

It's made such a big difference, never expected it to be this good! feels like a new game.

It's really nice. Been holding off on the new expansion waiting for this, and I'm glad I did. Was playing on PC before, but the convenience of the PS5 in the living room connected to our TV has converted me.

If you get a refund, wouldn't they revoke the license so you wouldn't be able to play it?

When I read the T&C it said if you had downloaded the game the refund would be declined. I'd already preloaded Cyberpunk so figured it would get knocked back because of that.

I booted it up this morning and it worked fine, but that's what's got me paranoid now.

Ah, got no idea. I've never refunded.

Are you one of the people that answer people's questions on Amazon by saying you don't know?

Cheers though. I've not received any emails today so far so hopefully it just gets declined with no repercussions.

No, they just going to reject your claim. I asked for a refund because I preordered the wrong version of a game and they refunded as I did not download it.

You only get banned if you do a chargeback like the idiots on resetera do and then start posting threads on how they been permanently banned and do not know why.

Cheers, much more helpful than that waste of space @Damien.

70 fecking euros for a game I can't play.

The only solution i've seen so far is a full factory reset of the PS5 let me know if you find out anything else, i'd rather not play cod then do that.
