PS5 thread 2.0

Can't see it.

There the option for games on the main star bar but no sign in the library. Only thing I see is the new add to list stuff.

For that PlayStation stars thing, there's a couple of handy challenges to get 50 points (50 cent worth) each. You get points when you buy digital games as well and you can trade points for games or psn credit so i have been tapping away at the handy ones until i can get 5 euro credit, every penny helps.

Anyway, 3 current challenges giving points, one you have to buy a game on the list, already owning it doesn't count apparently. The other 2 are download and play a plus essential game and download and play a multiplayer game. The multiplayer list includes back 4 blood which is a plus game so i just downloaded one of the new essential games and back for blood, started the apps and the challenges pop. Minimum effort of downloading a game and starting it.

The option to check for updates on PS5 games in your Game Library is apparently active for all now. Sony has quietly rolled out the feature without a firmware update, but if you open your library and select the Options button, you should see the prompt to check for updates to games.

That said, a check for updates to all games button is still sadly not there.

It only does an overnight check for updates and not an update when a patch becomes available, and this requires a PS+ subscription for some reason.

The console will also check for updates upon start up.

Probably me just having a handful of games installed so. I really only have games I'm currently playing installed as I'd get too distracted otherwise and they all update automatically when I power on the PS5. I shut down instead of rest mode, save energy and all that.

Ditto, so Sony need to pull the finger out and bring back XMB folders!

If you go to Smyths website, you'll see the difference where the disk edition has the visual line on the bottom right, that's the disk drive. The digital edition will mention it in it's name and won't have the line. If buying in the store, make sure you specifically ask for the disk version.

As for internet, Wifi works just on the PS5. You can use wired internet into the console also but you don't need it. You don't need any internet on the tv that will be connected to it.

You will definitely need a HDMI cable from the PlayStation to the TV (there's one in the box)

I buried four of 'em in the wall when putting the TV up nearly 3 years go, 2nd one now going into use... (it'd be 3rd one but the PS means no need to buy a Blu-ray player)

Pretty much any of them as long as the read speed is fast enough for the PS5. There are some great deals on compatible 1TB drives with heatsinks for under €100.

Than you Zero. #zerocoolisreallycool

On the PlayStation App, click your Stars icon and select Rewards.

Those 3 aren't showing up for me on the app. Have they been removed? Only need 80 more points for a fiver credit.

I'm only on the ps essential tier. If you are on extra or premium, that could be why you have the extra campaigns.

I don't see those campaigns either, just November Monthly Picks, VR2 showtime and Multiplayer mayhem...

I assume I'd still have 36 quid left over!
