PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

Ok so basically just set up a total new account but a US one and set it up on the ps5 along with my Irish account. Then I can play games bought on the US store on my Irish account and the only downside is some dlc I might have to play on the other log in? Seems like a no brainer for the money saved why have I never done this before now ha ha

"Spider-Man: Miles Morales Takes About 12 Hours to Beat"


Ugh. I know from the start that they said it would be a smaller experience, but 12 hours is way too short for €70.

"Spider-Man: Miles Morales Takes About 12 Hours to Beat"


Ugh. I know from the start that they said it would be a smaller experience, but 12 hours still seems way too short for €70.

Well in fairness, €80 for the two games is good value. €60 for MM is probably slightly overpriced but it's not a gauge.

One of the best things about Spider-Man was that it was a much a leaner, pacier beast than most open world time sinks. Happy MM is leaner again, honestly. I’m far more interested in it over most other open world blockbusters simply because I know I’ll reach the end in a reasonable amount of time. It’s a tad expensive, but as ever would rather games that don’t overstay their welcome - Lost Legacy was a highlight of Naughty Dog’s last three or four games because of it.

12 hours is a decent enough size campaign. I am sure there will be a couple more hours with side missions as well.

DLC should work on your main account as well, just so long as you go back to your US account to buy it (unless its region locked, which is rare in my experience).

Yea the issue I had years ago was buying FIFA on the US store playing it on my Irish account and then seeing I couldn't buy anything for the game threw my main account.

So that's the only thing you need to be careful with in that sense otherwise i never had any problems.

For anyone who hasn't watched this yet make sure you set game mode on your TV when your playing PS5 as the console won't automatically default to this setting and DF are saying it's a better experience using Game Mode.

Yeah this generally applies to multiplayer games as dlc is tied to purchasing account. Other examples would be fortnite or modern warfare. Saying that, Watch Dogs Legion is having issues with dlc content being unavailable to other users on consoles

Yeah, after seeing this yesterday, i checked my lg sm8500 and saw some settings were all over the place. Have no console now to configure the hdmi for it but will be the first thing i do with the ps5.

Not sure if this has been posted but you can request a camera adapter if you have a psvr (you need the serial number from the psvr box thing)

No guarantee you will get one I got an email back saying it still needs to be approved. And if granted shipments will begin around mid November

Woke up this morning to my credit card being compromised. first thought was "Sh!t the PS5 preorder!", luckily can log into Smyth's and update the payment details. Mild panic attack is not a nice way to wake up, 10 days to go :pac:

Stephen.Walsh_

decided to upgrade my TV, currently have a 40” Full HD, what’s the best 4K around for about 400 for the ps5?

Still think its really stupid having games and controllers etc on sale a week before the actual machine. If the stuff is there sitting in the shops it should be on sale. I am sure Sony wont mind to much when the money hits there accounts.

Maybe not yet but they will get them before the release date. I haven't been charged for the charging dock yet and i canceled Spider Man last night otherwise there would of been that as well.

They didn't have Xboxes in store as of yesterday. Don't know if they got them today but I'd assume they did.

So seems like they won't have the PS5 till the day before either

Re: 12 hours MM campaign- I know it's definitely short for some but personally I prefer shorter games. I only have a few hours a week MAYBE where I can play games due to a 9 month old so it's quite daunting starting games I know will take me months to finish so I actually target shorter ones.

I know that's far from the usual and most would prefer longer beefier games but I'm happy anyways haha

I missed the CEX offer of €260 for my Pro, but got €220 for it on adverts about a month ago.

Sold my PS4 pro over the weekend. It was exactly 18 months old. Got €200 for it, so was happy enough

How Soon Is Now

I had another second hand PS4 that i had got hold of cheap couple years ago that i messed around with hoping the jailbreak scene would be as good as PS3!


Decided to update it and sell it during the lock down earlier in the year got 400 euro for it!
