No, PS4 needs to be primary so that your friend can use your games.
Since you're logging into your PS5, you have access to your games too.

Thanks so much, really great help

Is " Dayz gone" that good. ??
I heard that it was only a "so so" game.

It was savaged by critics on release, but by and large the the player reaction was very positive and it sold really well, its reputation has hugely increased since it released last year.

They have made massive improvements to it and the PS5 version runs at 4k/60 fps, its well worth giving it a go.

Anyone having issues with Lag Spikes? My Son is getting dropped packets and lag spikes where his ping shoots up to over 800ms periodically, games its particularly noticeable are in Fifa 21. Also we have tested with Rocket League as it is a good game for showing dropped packets and ping levels as you play.

Same on both, use LAN normally tried Wifi to see if it made any difference which it didn't! Assigned it a static IP on my network, manually port forwarded the required ports as well, no dice.

I think my ps5 controller is about to give up,

The right trigger fells extremely lose compared to the left trigger, it fells soft and lose when you press it compared to the left trigger when the ps5 is off ?

I think 2.5 weeks of use with borderlands 3 has killed it ?

Has anyone else had issues with the triggers ?

This reminds me of my day one PS4 controller when the rubber came of the sticks !!!

Someone else in here returned their console because one of the triggers broke.

I think Amazon going to take a full return of a console and I won’t the console so going to have to buy another controller

Or how do we contact Sony support for Ireland ?

Anyone tried this yet to see if there's an improvement?

Due to my TV developing lines across the screen on Sunday I'm being forced into upgrading the TV, I'm going to go for the LGBX model...

Bring me on the limited 120hz goodness...

I did, not much difference, but then again, it's intended for OLEDs, and mine is a Microcell, so i'm unsurprised.

I honestly haven't the money, I know it is better but this wasn't something I had planned buying if I'm honest, I think it's about 200 quid dearer from Richer Sounds...

Not sure if one of my controllers is having charging issues. I usually play one and charge one, then swap as needed. Went to swap yesterday and the one id been charging kept dying instantly.

I still had enough battery in the other one to keep playing for a while (was swapping them when turning on the PS5 as I knew it was down to the last bar) so will check this evening if its charged again. Anyone else noted any similar issues?

I had an issue in the first day or two where standby wouldn't charge my controller but it hasn't happened since. Are you getting the orange charging light on the controller?

I definitely was when I plugged it back in again last night. I presumed I was before too but can't remember, will have to keep an eye on it this time to make sure. I thought the same happened me a week or two ago but I presumed I mixed the controllers up in my hand while swapping them over. Maybe it discharged while in rest mode when I was downloading a game and didn't start charging again

I have the very same issue. Can you hear a loose part when you shake the controller? Some searches online point to a broken spring. I am going to call to Smyths this evening to see what can be done as customer care are unreachable

Are you able to wait for the sales in the New Year? CX might have dropped down by then....

This might sound a bit ****ty, but maybe the fastest/easiest thing to do atm is buy a new controller and then return your broken one to whoever you bought the new one from. Amazon/Smyths probably won't check serial numbers etc

I can't speak for LG TVs, but with the Sony TVs they usually drop to their lowest price when they are about to be replaced, which should be in 4 or 5 months.

That is really shítty behaviour. Why would you encourage people to do that?

I was onto Richer Sounds and he says if I buy now and it drops in price say on the 26th they will refund the difference, which I think is fair enough...

Honestly, going from my basic enough 4K Sammy to this will be night and day...

I've only a PS5 and PC that's not HDMI 2.1, the only other 2.1 thing going on the port will be an Xbox next year at some stage when Halo comes out...

That's not on in fairness. If you get onto Sony they should replace it as it's part of the bundle.

I’ve just set up my PS5 and done the data transfer. It’s showing FIFA 21 as the PS4 version. Can it be updated to the PS5 version or is there such a thing ?

I'm not encouraging it tbf, just pointing out its an option if you are desperate. Getting a busted controller with a console that will be impossible to obtain is also a really ****ty place to be in.
