Gaming PlayStation 5

I’ve a couple of hundred quid of Amazon vouchers and can’t buy :(
 
Does anyone else have issues playing blu rays on their PS5?

The only way I can seem to get mine to play one is if I disconnect from the internet. If I stay connected to the internet I get a black screen.

I'm guessing the console is trying to authenticate or something but it just seems to give up trying after a few seconds and never progresses past the black screen.

Edit: I turned off internet connection for BD live and that seems to have fixed it. It's a better work around than having to disconnect the console from the internet every time I want to watch the Sopranos. Seems the console gets confused if the disc doesn't have interactive features that need an internet connection to use.

No chap. Played loads of BR's and not had one single problem so far other than very sensitive lense picking up scratches that my eyes can't see. Any issues I've had have been solved by a good wipe.

I bought a decent collection of UHDs because of my PS5. They play great.

Oh so that one sentence at the start is the bit that offended you. The "I don't really understand this" bit, because the last few gens have been exactly like that, where it takes developers a while to understand the best way to use the systems. The rest was totally reasonable. And now you're name calling. Very adult.

I want to apologise. I was too sensitive and took it the wrong way, was my problem.
 
Cool bit of kit, but surely anybody that bothered about being competitive is on PC anyway.
 
£110 for a controller would have been crazy, but sure add another £100 on that too.
 
What is the point of that carrying case, by the way? Where would you even take that controller? I mean, unless you're also in the habit of carrying a massive console around with you.

Whenever I had a FIFA night with my mates back in the day I'd take my controller because my mates only had one.
 
My premium subscription expires in 5 days and there don’t seem to be any deals around et the moment at all. I’m tempted to just extend by a month and hope there’s a deal on the 12 month subscription for Black Friday.

£99 is bloody steep considering I got 12 months of ps plus and ps now for £25 each last year.
 
Any new and good games to play on the PS5 recently? I haven't bought a new game since I got my PS5 in June - I bought WWE 2k22 back then and spent some time on it but nothing else. Was hoping Fifa 23, Gotham Knights etc. would be good but they don't look like it and so I'm not going to spend money on them. I don't want to purchase any PS4 remakes as I'll most likely have already played those on the PS4.

Is it not worth getting PS+ Extra and sampling a few different games you may not have already tried or thought to try?

Pickings are pretty sparse if you're avoiding last gen titles with upgrades. God of War in a couple weeks though. Maybe Plague Tale: Requiem?
 
Completed The Medium because it was free, wasn't too bad i'd give it a 6/7 rating, i quite like the Heavy Rain/Until Dawn style of games so this was right up the same street.

Visuals are excellent throughout and its certainly worth a playthrough if you have nothing else currently.
 
I wonder if we’ll get PS6 before PS5s are widely available in my country.
 
Anyone know if there is a way to get cheap PS+ Premium in the way you can with Gamepass? I had a year of PS+ and Now that got converted and that ends in November.
 
Are they still relatively rare? Thinking of selling mine at this point especially with christmas coming up its literally catching dust.

Here is my games for instance.

Deathloop
Horizon forbidden west
Demon souls
Ratchet and Clank
Judgement & Lost Judgement
Fifa 22
Ghosts of Tsushima
Uncharted Drake collection
God of War
Persona 5 Royal,
Trails of Cold steel IV.

See my problem? As a PC gamer with a decent rig the lack of exclusives is a real bummer man, yeah i enjoyed Ratchet and Clank but it came out a year and half ago and ultimately wasn't worth buying the console for, guess i bought in to the Jim Ryan hype machine about "generations" meaning something to Sony pffff.
