PS5 thread 2.0

PSVR 2 working with the PC and Half Life coming to the PS5 makes too much sense for consumers, that's why there's no chance.

3 cinema screen sizes. Large and medium are fixed. Small moves with the headset. Not sure why they are set like that. Large is good but its like being in the front row of the cinema. Screen feels too close. Medium works well for me.

Interesting. There is an app called rad in the "All Apps" section of ps5 that says it allows sideloading 3d movies via usb for a 1 time fee. It appears in the library section after you log into rad (i used my google login for handiness).

Ive already bought something similar for Quest 2 (skybox) so wont be buying rad but could work if people really want 3d psvr movies on ps5. Edit: fee for just being able to sideload your own 3d content is 60 dollars. Feck that.

Given the specs, I'd gladly pay 500 for PSVR2 and I wouldn't be surprised if it was that price tbh

I think I'll hold off to see what its like on release, I bought the original PSVR v1 and it was a pain having to disconnect VR to play normal games with HDR. Still haven't connected it to the PS5 for the same issue.

I'm also wondering will the cable connection become a pain considering Quest is wireless, and will Sony release a wireless version shortly after release (like they did with the PSVR v2 a year after v1)

I have 2 dual sense controllers. 1 with very bad drift on left stick.

I connected them to my PC and used Steam's calibrate feature to see exactly how bad. This feature is useful since you can compare the left stick to the right stick on screen. left stick on 1 controller is really bad and is just inside 12 month warranty so Ive created a support reference and emailed support@ie.playstation.com to get it repaired.

The left stick on the other is moving slightly off centre and out of warranty so Im sure I will have problems soon. My question is what options do I have outside of the 12 month warranty? Will Sony do anything?

I find it ridiculous that these controllers only have a 12 month warranty. It should be a lot longer.

Just ring them, its gonna be a lot faster and they will create your return label there and then. Theres a thread about Dualsense returns here somewhere

I see it now thanks - when I searched it brought up posts from this thread from last November advising to email. I will phone if I dont hear anything.

Go onto the Playstation website hardware support page - https://hardware.support.playstation.com/en_IE#/t

Answer the questions and get the referral code at the end. Then email support@ie.playstation.com with the referral code along with the serial number - it's a 17 digit number on the underside of the controller that usually starts with G. You can say you tried ringing support but couldn't get through - you can try ringing but it can be hit and miss and they'll end up just emailing you on the details anyway and email directly saves you waiting up to an hour to get through.

They'll email you back with everything you need to do to send off the controller for repair - you'll get a different controller (probably a reconditioned one) in a couple of days.

My local GS isn't taking pre-order s. Strange. They normally do.

Anyone get a pre-order in?

I'll take a single wire with moar powa over wireless and less powerful. The issue I eventually had with the PSVR was quality (visual) and movement. These will hopefully be fixed in PSVR2 so I'm ok with a wire. It's like wanting an Index version of the Quest, when the Quest (in technical terms) is quite inferior to the Index. Any reports of people using the wireless adapter with the Vive Pro mention a loss of resolution, which can be compensated on the PC but this results in a performance hit. Wireless isn't powerful or affordable enough yet, so a single wire seems like the best solution.

As mentioned above, I may just stick a hook to my ceiling, but I didn't have too many issues with the wires on PSVR1 once you've figured out how to "strap" them so they stay put.

Tom Marks on IGN's Beyond pointed out how you get a single controller with PS5 called Dualsense but 2 controllers with the PSVR2 just called Sense.

Sony aren't committing to 2022 release for psvr2:

With component shortages etc I dont blame them. I would still be hopeful it will launch this year. They will try to have it out for Christmas Id say. We shall see.

Trying to see if I can get this SSD working on the PS5. Is there a way to get into Safe Mode that isn't the one that I find on google?

I try holding the power button for 7 seconds and beyond but it just powers off again,

I managed to get into safe mode once and haven't been able to again.

That's just it. The second beep doesn't come. It beeps turning on then beeps turning off after about 15 seconds.

Is your dualsense connected via usb? Its been a while since I used rest mode but IIRC mine would not boot in rest mode without dualsense cabled.

Other things I remember reading were hdmi splitters were a problem and to try unplugging everything for half an hour then retry.
