Weird how you managed to order all those games when according to some turds on here it's got no games :lol:

That’s not very encouraging at all if I’m forking out £2-400 for a SSD I’d want to be sure it worked. Sony really should be bringing out their own version of the SSD.

Never going to happen, Sony don't make SSD's. More than likely they'll end up partnering with someone like Samsung or (like MS did) Seagate for an officially supported one.
 
GTA V.

"Seamless character switching"

How are you gonna promote that as some feature you've implemented when it's just the automatic upside of the PS5's SSD drive? What a piss-take.

:lol:

You are not suggesting that Rockstar are somehow possibly maybe completely full of shit , aren't you?
 
Still hunting around for one, unbelievable they are still near impossible to get.
 
I did post a link the other day for Game. They had some stock in, but that probably went in 5 seconds.

Yeah issaw, I already saw on twitter before hand, queue was snipped or botted i assume - couldn't even got close.

Yeah, unfortunately from what I've been reading, they say that consoles won't be available on a consistent basis until 2023
 
If you know how to use discord efficiently plenty of great free servers with stock updates and as long as you have notifications on you will pick up a ps5 in 1-3 weeks easy.

Can recommend this one its where i got hold of 2 series X the other week and the stock situation on them is a lot more difficult then the ps5.

I've had two people (who've originally come round to repair/fit something) spot the PS5 and ask me how I got mine.

We've just moved and I had it up on a shelf but I realised it was in full view of the window so I've moved it hidden behind the TV stand :lol:
 
I'm surprised how big the difference is with 3D Audio on my TV speakers. I was expecting nothing much, but it's actually pretty impressive.

Really? What game?

Miles Morales is the one I've tried. I was expecting nothing to be honest, but after going into the settings and setting it up for my position in the room it was noticeably different.
 
Does anyone else’s PS5 sometimes go quite high saturation? I used to be able to fix it by switching between two HDMI channels but that doesn’t seem to be working now.

That's weird. Does your tv only support HDR through 1 hdmi? Is it game by game?

Guessing it'd be a hdr related issue but if the same game/menu randomly changes then likely its something else. Have you swapped the hdmi lead itself?

I’ve got the HDMI in a different slot to the one I had it before but it shouldn’t really make a difference. It’s in HDMI one at the min. Never had any issues with the lead.

Worth trying a different lead just to check.

For me, only HDMI 1 has HDR and the others don't. But if the saturation fluctuates without swapping the lead then yeah won't be that.

I'd definitely try a different cable if you've got a spare one.

Other than that you could try to turn off HDR in the PS5 settings to see if that helps. HDR can be a bit weird with some TV's and PS5 outputs HDR for non-HDR content. You could also check the input settings on the TV for the HDMI ports. They should be set to enhanced, but it can be called different things on different TV's.
 
Got no clue :lol:

Press a Menu button whilst playing, and it should tell you the mode in the settings

Put it on games mode to avoid input lag and the TV putting an extra layer over the top. If that's then too bright just turn it down rather than changing the mode.

It was on standard. I’ve put it on game now. Will see how that goes, cheers!
 
Mine arrived this morning and I'm already loving Astro's Playroom. Got Spiderman: MM installed for after but I'm in no rush.
 
I've got a Curry's VIP code for a PS5 bundle, valid until 21st September, if anybody wants one?

You have to go in-store to redeem it and then await delivery to the store.
 
Bought Hades the other day and played it last night for an hour or two. Early impressions are very positive. I love the art design of it all, the characters are great and the dialogue is very well done - very engaging and funny, which is a difficult thing to achieve. Combat is really fun, but can't say too much about the weapons as I haven't gone that far so haven't really unlocked many. Beat the first boss last night and left it there.

But yeah, very good indeed.

I stuck that game on just to see what all the fuss was about. Didnt think much of it, and yet somehow, 200 hours later Im still playing it. It seems kinda simple at first, but then as you get into it theres so much more going on and to explore. And just when you think youve got it figured out, it throws something else at you to switch up the replay value. Honestly, I havent enjoyed playing a game like this since FTL. Very fun, very addictive game.
