People struggling to even download a couple of games without it saying it’s full (presumably a bug despite the tiny space available), UI sending the fans wild, Afro chasing the delivery van down in his slippers. Almost embarrassing at this point.

At the risk of sound like a shill like Alock always does...I've had zero problems with any of this :lol:

To confirm my shill status I defo have one of the PS5s with the boken whirring noise.
 
Have you tried Demon Souls? It's outstandingly beautiful, but not a peep from the machine. The UI makes more noise :lol:

I don't know if it's the fan to be honest I thought all the reviews said how quiet it was so guessing I've just been a bit unlucky.

Not getting demon souls, I've never been a huge Souls guy (have played it and it's a top game but I can barely put 10 hrs into them before giving up)

Yeah they have that effect on people. Well worth it once you break the back of them and clock how to play, but again they aren't everyone's cup of tea.

It is absolutely beautiful though, the tessellation on the brick work alone is a thing of beauty. And not much of a peep from the machine so far, though definitely not as quiet as the X. In fact, my initial thoughts are that the X is definitely a much better designed unit.
 
@Pexbo what we playing tonight? Remember when you mocked me yesterday. On second thoughts I’d ask @esmufc07.

You forgot poor old Afro hasn’t even got his yet. What a disaster. Sony should be pulling out all the stops for him yet we got Bezos and his boys screwing him over.

When he finally gets it he’ll have the same amount of games on it as everyone else
 
PSA: For those who’ve had disc games uninstalling themselves Sony are aware of the issue so imagine a patch is incoming. BUT the fix is when you put a disc in don’t click ‘copy’ after a few minutes it will automatically copy over. From there on in it shouldn’t uninstall itself. I had the issue happen with all three games I installed and now I did that it hasn’t happened again.

Reports of it happening despite not clicking copy. Pretty bad really
 
I'm avoiding these threads... they are making me bitter. PS5 still winning though it seems...
 
Not had any issues so far my end, it’s been a dream.

having spent a full week with the Series X, I am enjoying this experience so much more. It feels like a next gen machine, the controller is truly revolutionary, the UI far prettier (although some stuff is in weird places, same as Xbox really) and there are actually good, new titles to play. Building in a game like Astro as a tech demo was so smart by Sony - It’s a brilliant little platformer

by comparison the Series X is just....boring. No lights to make it look cool in the dark, slight iteration on the controller, same with the UI. No games....I guess there’s the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” way of thinking but I dunno...for £450 after 7 years..I wanted to be wowed!
Great post

Playstation guys are desperate. I do feel like I'm missing out on games uninstalling by themselves though. It is quite boring having a console that has just worked.
 
Managed to try out the upgraded no mans sky on ps5 yesterday. Looks amazing and was good to start a fresh run. I see they’ve also greatly improved the new player experience so that you get a tutorial as you try to get off the starting planet.
 
Imagine seeing all the issues in our PS5 thread alone and thinking it's winning. Big delusion. The Liverpool fans of the gaming world.
 
People ripped Xbox for 'Smart Delivery' but it's genuinely a really worthwhile 'feature' for this launch period

It just works

I know which games I'm playing an upgraded / next gen version of, I don't open a game and realise I cocked up and lost my save data (something that happened when I loaded Uncharted 4 last night).

It all just works. As it should. Without thought or effort.

Minimal migration required and whilst it didn't have that 'new' UI feel, I am now glad they went with a tried and trusted model than layering something pretty over the top that makes life even more difficult.

What you played? Certain someone on here is just sat there playing the free game that was pre-installed. I think he needs gamepass in his life.

Yeah, Xbox tells you what games are next gen upgrades. I have to go searching on PS5 for what is and then upgrade them.

They've made a real mess of it all.

And the irony of them saying there's no games for the past year then not being able to download any or it unsintalling is not lost on me

:lol:. I have mates who are exactly the same - it’s like a cult

I have both and have zero allegiance - I’ve just found the PlayStation experience to be better and yes, including the lights!
playstation will be my main machine this generation (partially also because everyone I play online with has one) and the Xbox will be used for Game pass.
