Poll: *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

Possibly yeah, I quite like it, can see the pros with both approaches. However it might be because I have loads of rechargeable AA's already.

I changed from a wireless mouse to a wired mouse because I got fed up with having to change/charge the AA batteries every week or so...

Putting the Dualsense it it's charging dock whenever it's not being used is just so much less hassle

As a pc player I cannot hear my mate now on ps5 in game Comms. Anyone else had this or have any advise of what I can get him to try ?

Anyone playing warzone on ps5 and with pc players that can advise ?

Thought I'd give the webchat a go and try and get a tracking number from Currys but it looks like they've disabled the pop up that you start the chat from! I imagine people have just been hammering it.

I just disagree with whatever reason a near £500 electronic, in the 21st century, needs AA batteries. On a £20 remote controlled toy car, fine.

I'm pro rechargable batteries or a replaceable pack as I've had batteries swell in things like my PSP, makes me worry about my Switch and controllers long term.

Has anyone managed to transfer their PS4 Spider-Man save to the remaster? I get a random network error message when trying to download the save in the remaster's menu.

I downloaded my Cloud save of Spiderman (PS4 version) from the cloud to my PS5 last night with issues.

In things like a psp or Switch I understand.

Controllers are typically easy to take apart to replace the battery in my experience.

Smyths has Dirt 5 for £34.99 so giving it a go, want to experience 120Hz and I do like an arcade racer.

I got it for £30 with my PS5 on launch night. Wouldn't say it was worth even that. Its ok but doesn't take long to finish (Around 8 hours). Trophies are also bugged on PS5 version at the mo.

Also, I have stopped using rest mode for the time being as on |Friday when I turned the console on it wouldn't accept the "Push the PS button to sign in" from the controller. Had to do the hold power button for 2 seconds to properly turn off and then it came on fine afterwards.

Dirt 5 seems to divide opinion - as an out and out arcade racer, I'm really enjoying it. I've even learned to love the Sprint Cars!

The whole PS4/PS5 version of Cold War is confusing now, it's a very convoluted way to get the PS5 game. Also its crashing everytime I load it up, not great.

Yes I also initially bought the wrong version and had to upgrade it for a few quid to the right version. (Series X but similar issue). Also crashes my sons One X and plenty of reports of Series X crashing.

Its just a crud rushed release, hopefully improve with patches.

Anyone having a problem with going online in games? I'm trying to play Bloodborne, but when I start the game, the second he stands up from the table it says it's unable to connect to the network and returns me to the title menu.

There's no problem with my internet connection, the network test returns expected results and I'm able to do other online things on the console. I just can't start Bloodborne.

I was getting that quite a lot on my ps4 about 1 month ago.. possibly bloodborne servers ?

Since Thursday I've had a load of "Disconnected from Dirt servers" when playing Dirt 5. I was still logged into to PSN and internet was just fine.

I regret not getting the dual charger when I ordered the console, having to charge my controllers like a peasant with a cable.

 

[brightside229]

My console does not seem to charge the controller when in standby mode. I put the console into standby on saturday night with the controller plugged in after it warning me of low battery. Sunday morning when i go to turn it back on battery was still at low

Have you checked the settings? There is an option for power to the USB ports when in rest mode.

The controller isn't £500 though.

Ah ok, no haven't looked at the settings, just assumed it would work like my ps4 from default settings and charge the pad, will take a look tonight

It might, but worth checking to confirm.

The other thing is some people have been having issues with the supplied cable charging the controller, not sure if you have successfully used that cable to charge while the ps5 is powered up?

Day three waiting and wondering if my ps5 will turn up.
