ps4 or ps5?I've had no success on getting externals working in a stable fashion at all (not just rest mode; a lot of games hard crash) and have now bailed on it until I hear if there's any update on that.
LMFAO. So this. Thanks for that.I would not listen to anything a GameStop cashier says about anything tbh
I agree.If there's an issue, better to break it now while it's still under warranty
Sounds like a bored employee telling old wives tales to sound inciteful. You think this completely rando GameStop employee already figured out something that's gone unnoticed from the rest of the internet including other reviewers who've had weeks with the console?Happy launch day to you guys! Hope everyone that has wanted to get a system, has had a chance. I was at gamestop today picking up my ps5 games. The guy cashing me out was saying NOT to put the ps5 in rest mode. That putting it in rest mode causes it to brick.......Now I am concerned so have been shutting it off when I am done. What do you guys think? Anyone bricked because of rest mode?
Gamestop rep sold the guy in front of me on a warranty after telling him about all the "xbox's catching on fire" from those vape videos going around yesterday. Don't listen to these guys for everything.
Yup lol i purchased the 1 year warranty so I'm not too concernedYou better use it extensively to make sure that your PS5 is not lemon. If it's going to brick, make it brick when under warranty.
I'd research it, but general rule for Best Buy, Gamestop, etc.

Actually never had a problem with rest mode before, but today my PS5 keeps crashing while trying to play the Spider-Man games and I did enable partial rest mode just to charge controllers then full rest mode while downloading them.
I saw this: https://twitter.com/jeffgerstmann/status/1326383782254047232?s=21
So, now I'm going to see if a full system reset can make either game run for more than 30 seconds after the intro cutscene.
Fuck gamestop and all, but this is just silly conjecture. There's absolutely no way a company tells their employees to make random lies that could alienate Sony. That email would have leaked immediately.Reminder that this happened this year. I wouldn't exactly trust anything Gamestop has to say about a non Xbox console. https://www.resetera.com/threads/ga...-strategic-partnership-with-microsoft.302759/

This was the issue I was having that went away when I stopped using externals.

The clerk in question most likely just read a tweet or two and ran with it.
