Also I just bought PS Plus usually me and someone else ganeshare .. Can I upload every save from ps4 and extended drive to the cloud or do you have to do them singly?

Ubisoft still not replying to the disc upgrade issue for Watch Dogs and AC Valhalla. Very annoying as it seems a widespread issue across Europe.

Having a weird issue with the Ps5 and my Sony HT-X8500 soundbar.

The Ps5 refuses to output a 4k picture. HDR works (weirdly) but it makes out at 1080p.

Also, the soundbar won't activate the Dolby Atmos setting even though the Ps5 is capable of outputting it. Also when I turned it on this morning, there was no sound output whatsoever.

Between 4-5 hours for me.

There is a "select all" option when uploading.

Same!
Out of interest, did you buy your copies from Ireland or out of the country?
Both of mine I got through Shopto.
Saw some people on Reddit saying they set up Russian/Turkish accounts and that sorted it, but don’t want to go down that route in case DLC gets messed up

My first PS5 platinum and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Only took around 3 hours and I used the guides once I finished to hunt out all the artefacts

PS5 doesn’t support Atmos. I have an Atmos soundbar and it still sounds great

Can you do a firmware update on the soundbar?

Found all the artifacts and jigsaw pieces without a guide. Just used a guide to clean up the remaining trophies. Since I lost my save last night I had to replay parts to get some needed artifacts. Worst was a trophy relied on a certain prize from the claw machine. Luckily I got it within the 20 goes I had saved up.

Definitely weird issues for me.

I have two discs , ps5 games, and had one in playing and took out the disc and put in valhalla and needs to install it. Hmmm, but I've already been playing it. Okay so start copying and look and see the game I just played, is gone. Is it still on the system? I can't tell. Went to system and storage and it's not there either.

How very odd. I will give it another few days and see does it persist. Could be contacting Sony. No point heading back to smyths. No replacements anyway.

Platinumed Astro bot. Great game. The controller really is the star of the PS5 show so far though. Really hope other developers use its quirky features to the max.

Found a lot of the uses of it in Astro very Nintendo like.

Tried to transfer saves over USB from ps4 to 5 and crashed and errroed out when trying to load save in game

Can you only transfer over games/saves from a physical PS4 to the PS5? My PS4 caved it about 3 months ago and is in a dump somewhere now.

It’ll still do pass-thru Atmos for Blu Ray

Seems a widespread issue based on twitter.

Cheers lads, theres more of a ‘buzz’ on mine. Ill try get a video up tomorrow. It could be normal, ill know when my brother sets his up if it is or not. It’s only when playing games (digital version)

If they're in the cloud you can pull them from there too.

Had Valhalla uninstall itself yesterday too

Back in today and let in install itself (didn’t press copy) and it’s stayed now

In the queue together and now in the same boat

I got mine from GameStop. There is a Turkish fix alright but you'd have to keep the Turkish accounts too as well as tempting DLC issues so I'd certainly avoid it as you're suggesting. Ubi will fix it at some point, really a matter of when they wake up (although they're probably trying to fix it in the background as we speak). Just going to hold out myself and hope it's soon!

Fixed my call of duty issue. I signed up for an activision account on my laptop instead. I can play online now.

Time to get shot in the head multiple times

Disc version seems incredibly quiet compared to PS4 Pro, some noise when disc spins up but when it is idling it is dead quiet. I am very impressed with what Sony and Microsoft have achieved with their launches.

Astro is a touch a class, what an intro to the dual sense.

Demon Souls is stunning, I keep getting killed so easily but its a fair challenge.

Download speeds at least 10x that of my PS4 Pro, very impressed.

Haven't run into any of the issues mentioned. Feel bad for those who are experiencing issues. I would contact the retailers straight away explaining you want a replacement in the next wave of deliveries. Smyths should be pretty good about it! There are always issues with new electronics unfortunately

I have disc and it seems to have the noise that most people online are posting about. Can't hear it unless I go up close to it but it's defo there!

Berty

Bit of googling on this and although Sony are aware there is no fix today.

Alternative solution is to NOT press copy when you put in the disc, it will automatically do this in 2-3 mins. Mine are currently installing again, doesn't lose the saves which is handy and the fast SSD means it's not a slow reinstall.

Testing now. Anything that came through on a PS4 disc is not affected only the 2 PS5 discs.

I'm kinda the same, I bought an LG CX about a month ago. Had absolutely no intention of getting a PS5. Once I had the new telly I needed something that could actually push the new telly to its potential

What sort of money did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking and which model? I have a 4K LG from 2016, no HDR etc.

Cheers,

My PS5 from Harvey Norman just arrived via DPD there... totally surprised as only bought it yesterday and my order still says 'our staff are busy preparing your order' and had no word of DPD dispatch

Let the games begin

Picked mine up from Harvey this evening, love it so far!

Hah yeah, hope you’re enjoying it otherwise

Thanks for the tip, I’ll stay put with it until it’s fixed! Don’t want to mess it up any further. Must be a Ubisoft issue since it’s happening with their 2 games...

I’ll let you know if the upgrade option appears, if you don’t mind doing the same
