Yep kicking myself for not ordering one when I got the console. Not paying above retail for it, they are going for £60+ on ebay.

Wow! No way I'd pay that either.
Mine lasts way longer than the DS4. I have played AC: Odyssey for over 15 hours Sun/Mon/Tue and it's just now on 1 bar remaining. With the DS4 it was like 4 hours total or something. When it gets to 1 bar I have it plugged in charging when in rest mode, so it never completely depletes. May be because that's a PS4 game, I haven't had any long sessions with PS5 games.

Battery life has been good for me outside of Astro, that hammered the battery life with so much going on.

I have a USB3.1 Sata adaptor, plugged into a rear port it's been fine with a 500GB SSD attached. It came with a USB-A to USB-C adapter, thought I'd try it in the front USB-C port to free up a rear port. On doing this, my Wifi dropped completely, and wouldn't connect to/find any wifi networks on the PS5. And it caused issues removing the drive.
Probably down to the included USB-A to USB-C adapter, but a strange one!! Back to using the rear port again, wifi back to normal and drive working as normal...

Edit scrap that just seen it does.
I'm glad this wasn't just me that had this happen. Wifi dropped when I plugged in a external SSD to the rear ports. Moved it to the front USB-C port but now using a wired ethernet connection and have no issues. Very bizarre. Wifi worked fine when I disconnected the drive. I'm using a Sabrent USB to SATA adapter recommended by Digital Foundry. May consider getting an enclosure as the sata connector feels like it may come loose very easily.

Is it me or can you not message friends via PS5 , if i click on friend press message > send quick message it gives you 3 options ? Only

That's the same one I'm using, Sabrent USB 3.1 adapter. No issues when plugged into the rear ports. Might be the cable interfering with the wifi antennas?

You have to go to 'view messages' and it creates a party with them if you want to chat. Quick message is just pre-defined basic messages.

You have to do it from the manage storage options afaik.
Should be able to select it and then delete.
Don't beat yourself up matey, you never know, you may wake up tomorrow and just fancy a game.

No , cannot delete
I don’t think you can. It’s annoying. I have old games on there I haven’t owned for years, just because I played them and now it’s linked to my account. Hoping they update that down the line to let you remove things.

I went through this stage a couple of years back. I had to change up the games I played and found things I enjoyed more. I was used to playing just certain types of games and Destiny which started to feel like a job when I played it.
Try getting something that challenges you so you feel good beating it. I also used to play games on normal difficulty and when I upped them to hard it felt way better. The game doesn't even become that much more difficult but just by the right amount and it makes upgrades etc become useful instead of face-roll. I found certain multiplayer games a good challenge to, loved Rainbow 6 Siege.
If all else fails have a break and wait until you get the urge.

I think the game you play has an effect more than before, as above Astro has the controller vibrating and the triggers working away constantly, as does something like Dirt 5.
Play a ps4 game and you get the odd vibration as per the DS4 and I feel the battery lasts longer, extended plays of Dirt 5 do seem to run my controller down but I was on Days Gone for about 3/4 hours last play and the controller didn't drop a bar.
