Not so much a random shutdown or noise issue, but I was wondering if any of you lads have had any trouble with your internet connections? I'm using a wifi connection (soon to be hardwired to try and solve it) but it keeps randomly dropping my internet connection making downloading any games or playing online impossible. I've to keep either restarting/shutting down the PS5. Driving me bananas.

Mine did that at first but after the first firmware update it sorted it and not had any issue since.

So they pulled the game but wouldn't refund people earlier this week.

At least they finally going to issue refunds!

This is absolutely huge and does not bode well for CDPR going forward. They've completely banjaxed this whole thing. This game should have been delayed at least another few months. Yeah, people would've been absolutely raging at another delay, but what game company, post-game release, has ever had consumers boycott them because "they delayed that game I now absolutely love"?

I never looked at footage of CP throughout its development cycle, despite the odd trailer that I could barely avoid during watching press events/conventions, etc., and I avoided the hype because too much hype for a game is never good, no matter how good a game is at the end of it. Too much hype for a game puts me off.

The hype surrounding CP2077 was really starting to creep me out with how much coverage it was getting, so I said I'd wait. I wasn't expecting it to live up to said hype but I wasn't expecting a car-crash this insurmountable. I feel sorry for those who bought the game for their base systems, but at the same time, we've all been here before. This should be a lesson to never pre-order a game before release, because there's always something there that'll potentially make you regret your purchase. Buyer-beware and all that.

CDPR screwed themselves over by releasing a statement saying "Refunds for all", when they obviously hadn't run it by Sony. It is notoriously difficult to get a refund out of Sony at all, if you've downloaded a game, fair enough, but if you've played it, well, Sony's attitude is "No refund for you".

People who had contacted Sony for refunds after the statement were told to either wait for a patch or go back to CDPR for more info.

So this feels a bit like a retaliation. Their hand has been forced somewhat, and they've set up an email line specifically for refunds for this game.

What an absolute sh1tshow

Can you get refunds on the Disc Version of Cyberpunk 2077 I bought it in argos but really can't play due to all the crashes...

Playing on PS5 also...

If any good can come from this is that less and less people will preorder games

Exactly this. I've never pre ordered a game. I've never had to. Sure, there are often "pre order bonuses" but I can't count the amount of times i've walked into a shop after a game launch (well after it!) and still received the pre order bonus.

Sounds like Cyberpunk is more than just bugs. Meaningless class system, limited dialog options, poor AI etc. Doesn't sound like they delivered what was promised. I have no interest in the game so it makes no difference to me but it's funny seeing the lengths people are going to defend it.

I'm hoping the good that will come from it is that games will release when finished.

Had to safe mode USB update 2 PS5s tonight, only intended to stick Warzone on both but that update issue is gonna a lot a of pain on xmas day.

https://www.playstation.com/en-ie/support/hardware/ps5/system-software/

It has its own page in the PS5 support website.

If you got one in a box update, the tell tale sign is the update stops at some % and no amount of reboots fix it only the USB update.

One of my initial woes of the PS5 has come to fruition. The white controller. I work/live nights, so I'm usually playing in dark conditions. Today as I was cleaning, I had a good look at the DualSense, and the back of it was fairly dirty. And because of the icons giving the grip, even a wet wipe couldn't clean it, had to use boiling water and a cloth to wet it to clean it.

Bring on the black controllers already!! /smallinsignificantrant

You can get Ultimate and just not download SM Remastered until you want to play it or have deleted something else. They show up as two separate games. Can have one or the other or both.

I downloaded Remastered, played a bit to see what it was like on PS5 (and pop the platinum trophy), then ended up deleting as I wanted to leave space for other games. Will redownload hopefully for a future playthrough.

Any one have any success using a one4all card to buy psn credit on gamestop. Gets rejected at checkout yet theres plenty on the card.

Just saw Miles Morales is on sale in smyths, 70 for ultimate, Standard for 55.

Interestingly, CEX will give 27 cash for ps5 version and 46 cash for PS4 version. Tempted to get the PS4 version for 60, buy the MM upgrade for 20, clear MM and sell for 46 cash.

Can anyone tell me if you can access the dlc of SM without clearing the game or even straight away? Is it progress or level locked?

Dualsense stopped working in game today. Home button worked and controller worked fine in the ps5 menus, but absolutely nothing in any games even after a restart. Had to use the pinhole reset on the back of the controller. Eventually got going again. Have I a goosed controller?

Not if this is the only incident.
If it repeats, possibly.

Picked up Days Gone for €18 in Smyths, I really don't notice it being 60fps though.
