PS5

[Matt Cup]

I’ve not even opened the box for my Pro, still using my old PS5

 

[OssPoop]

Anyone upgraded from a oe ps5 to a pro and think it was worth it?

There are elements that make it worth it, like Cyberpunk looks incredible with everything turned up and GT7 looks better too. I went pro because I also needed more memory and wanted everything to be all singing all dancing ready for October and November.

Depends on the size of your TV as well, and how close you sit to it.

I've just bought TLOU 2 as I never got round to playing it the first time round for some reason. Hooked already.

65" and too close.

Possibly one of my favourite games of all time

 

[CrippsCorner]

Uncharted 2 is my favourite Naughty Dog game... but I have high hopes for this one

Not started the TV series 2 yet, so thought I'd better get this played first!

Aye OOS pretty much everywhere. My cousin managed to get one from Very the other day but won’t be getting it till mid to late sept.

Also the separate disc drive is also pretty hard to get hold of too. I picked up the last ones from our local store and the others nearby don’t seem to have any left either. Not that it matters for future games but I have a load of old titles I still like to play.

I found it worth it definitely. 77 inch OLED and 120hz etc. Not that I used many games that do 120hz mind. But the rest looks glorious at 60hz.

I set mine up this weekend on my 42 OLED in my office.

I have only played Mafia 3 on it and it looks f**king awful

 

[Wilkeh]

To be fair I still use mine for PS1 games

 

[CrippsCorner]

What happened to Jill and Wesker?

That ship looks like like something you'd pick up on Resi to complete a puzzle.

 

[Matt Cup]

What happened to Jill and Wesker?

Such a good game, brings back so many memories. Although, the hunters are really starting to piss me off. They 1 shot you when you're under half health

 

[Clart]

its like 2020 all over again with these console shortages.

 

[Aaron..]

Anyone had issues with the download speeds being absolutely w**k?

500mb speed (or close to) wired to the console. Trying to download a 51gb game, suggests 16 hours.

Tried the "trick" of clicking connect to the internet button and it speeds it up for a few seconds then freezes.

Changed DNS and it upped my upload speeds but nothing else.


I thought it was odd when I was away and I set it to download a game for when I got back, then had the notification saying it was ready to play the next day

Wouldn't worry once GTA has been out a month or 2 I bet you'd pick a pro up for pretty cheap.

Unless of course you want it for that reason in which case you're probably late to the party

I haven't had any issues recently

 

[Matt Cup]

Both my PS and Xbox are always slow to download anything. I thought it was their servers throttling it though.

 

[Matt e]

i havent played COD black ops 6 for a few months and when i went to play it last night its asking me to purchase the game again?

anyone ever this? ive tried restoring the license

 

[Aaron..]

I went to play warzone last night and had to delete everything and reinstall. Tried to just install warzone and this morning had to download loads of shared packs to be able to play.

Might be worth trying to start from scratch?

 

[CrippsCorner]

Anyone chucked in a bigger drive? It's me and two kids all sharing one console and it's been full up for ages, have to delete something every time we get a new game and it's a royal pain in the arse.

Not sure whether to go 2Tb or 3Tb? I know prices are still sky high.

 

[Aaron..]

It's a 5 minute job to do.
I only went 1tb, should have gone more when it was cheap but I don't have that much that I keep playing.


Get 8tb at a bargain price... Next year?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I was thinking about getting an additional nvme drive for our PS5, just been looking and the prices have gone up 2-3x what they were last year. Mental

 

[Geddes]

I’ve got lucky with my storage, bought an internal 1TB couple years ago and also an external 1TB SSD that goes into the USB-C front port plus the internal storage as standard . Does me just fine all before the price hikes.

I was going to ask that. Holy s**t - I hope they are understanding? Or deaf.

I literally disconnected the subwoofer from our cheapo Samsung sound-bar combo as I thought it would piss the next door's off.

Nah she's sound mate, and to be fair the Denon has an excellent setting for night usage. She's out a lot too

Oh you can do this? I've plenty of zippy 1Tb SSD at work.

 

[Aaron..]

You can store games on this but they need to be copied over to the system before you play them. You can't play them from the SSD drive.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Oh. Not much help then really, I suppose it just saves having to re-download. I'll keep my eyes out for an M2 drive maybe on Black Friday.

 

[OssPoop]

You can play ps4 games from an external hdd.
