So is Miles Morales a problem? That's what I was looking forward to popping in the most tonight :(
Question: Is there any benefit to having a PS4 game on the internal SSD than on an extended storage (hard drive) in terms of resolution & framerate differences?
Also, is transferring fron extended storage to SSD taking forever for anyone else?

Not downplaying the issues, because I've had a crash, etc. myself. But generally, those with issues are going to be vocal about it.
Consider that 100's of thousands ... maybe even million / s have been sold. We are seeing small numbers of reports, most are fine.
I understand your concern, I get mine next week (UK) but this is just a fact of mass manufactured electronic goods.
And with parts made by different companies, all mass produced then there will always be chances of defective or dead products.
I heard the microphone in the controller is turned on by default which can weaken the haptics (I assume to maintain voice clarity). Not sure if it only does that in games that aren't actively using said mic, but still something to try turning off to see.
Anyone playing Yakuza 7? Was thinking about getting it but idk if I should wait for the PS5 edition.
No difference to enhancements; those come regardless of how you play. Using an external SSD will allow for internal speeds and faster loading.
Which parts? Specifically on my LG oled, i noticed banding in the opening load of astrobot, in the transitions to the PS studios logo. Though by the time that logo came up , it was perfect black again and it was fine. Then during the loading before the astrobot gameplay, the background space sky had a bit of it. But i dont see this as an issue. In game roaming and exploration was perfect visually.
Go read the XBSX thread. Exact same mood. The people who have working ones are *playing* them. I'm jealous of you. For pragmatic reasons I had to go XBSX for the start of this gen (game pass value got me) but if money weren't in the equation I'd have gotten a PS5. Go enjoy it!
No benefits.
The Transfers fit me are much faster than the Pro ever was. There's a lot to that question though, mainly the speed of the SSD and the usb cable you're using, plus what USB port are you plugging it into? The USB A port on the front is slow and only meant for charging or a headset dongle.
My PS5 completely removed my install of 2K21. I played it earlier, and a short clip was even generated when I got a trophy. Got back on later and the entire game was completely gone, with an arrow next to it to redownload.
Then the system randomly shut off. It came back up and was talking about the extended storage that had my PS4 games on it, was corrupted and needed to be repaired. Seen this a bunch on PS4. Went through the process and then the screen sat blank for 5 minutes before I finally turned the system off, and it wouldn't turn back on.
Removed the external HDD and it came back up. I've seen others complain about external HDDs too. At this point use at your own risk, I've removed mine until they offer their "stability updates".

It really is... I've liked it, until I put it in my media center. It looks like a whacko nuto, lmao
I wonder if people having trouble with external drives have it plugged into the front
It is pretty fucking ugly. I have mine standing up and with the hump of the drive at that angle it looks like it is going to fall over. My wife came up and said "that is ugly...why it is so big?". I just laughed.
It's such a freaking eyesore sitting in my tv console. I think having it all black will reduce that lol
Yeah it's out in the open on top of a desk next to my TV. It was so weird to see an overheating popup within the first 30 mins.
And this is not hdr. I refuse. My LG Oled has seen a lot, I know what hdr looks like.
Cannot tell if the issue is my receiver to TV? I'm using the Ps4's HDMI? Or something else...

very strange stuff, I won't use my external HDD with PS5 until this stuff is fixed (and I think they will address it soon with firmware upgrade)
a bit off topic..
this reminds me of my laptop and external HDD. If I left it connected, it won't wake from rest mode or boot.
The problems in that case should only be shit download speeds, but maybe...
So how do I add another account as primary? Me and my buddy game share and he has the last of us 2 on his account I just signed on his but how do I activate as primary?
Have kind of a stupid question but my receiver doesn't support 4k hdr so if I run it through the receiver the resolution's is 1080p with hdr.
Unfortunately my Samsung TV doesn't support eARC (just ARC which is 5.1) but I do have a 7.1 system. Should I stick with better sound or better picture? Am I going to notice much of a difference in sound quality?

Smokey- I have been asking but no one answered. I am new to PS since it has been a while. But my system went to sleep on it's own. but hitting the ps button on the controller would not turn it on. Hitting power button did not do nothing, but after waiting a few minutes and hitting the power button it turned on. Isn't it suppose to turn on with the controller? Also, what are the different colors? I played Astobot for a bit and it was a soft white, but then when it turned on again it was blue for a bit.
Also what is the issue with external drives? I have a 1tb SSD attached and downloaded a few PS4 games, but have not played any of them yet.
Thanks!
It's alright, the rumble is way better than the DS4, but I think the DualSense was over hyped.
Better and then some. Hands down the best controller I used and I hate the ps4 and ps3 controllers.
lmao...yeah I thought I it was growing on me the months leading up to launch but no. Perhaps I was just lying to myself as normally I wouldn't think of owning something so ugly especially at this price. Gaming being my favorite hobby just transcends that though. Oh well, gotta play some games now!
Yeah it's supposed to turn on with the button. Yellow light is rest, i think it's supposed to be blue during regular operation.
I am seeing a lot of issues with externals, including my own experience. You could plug it in and copy what you wanted over to the internal, which admittedly, won't be too much given the limited size of the SSD. But after what I went through, and reading some other folks accounts, I wouldn't leave the external plugged in.
Yep ps5 has been connected via Ethernet all day, but not LAN for PS4 to PS5
rest mode is also bugged? Should I do hard shutdowns? Haven't pressed the power button since turning it on
Yeah, mine was a off-white since the moment I turned it on and playing Astrobot for a good 1 1/2, then Demon Souls for about 30 minutes until it crashed on me. I only seen blue (which I love) when I was able to bring it back from sleep mode. Is it normal that it takes a long time for it to go into sleep mode? The screen said "putting the ps5 to sleep mode, don't hit the power button" and that was on the screen for a good 5 minutes.
I might be in the minority, but I think the DualSense is the biggest revolution of all the new next gen features. It's incredible.
This is exactly where I'm at. Up to launch, I thought it looked pretty cool, if a bit router-esque. Now that it's sitting under my TV as I play, I'm moreso thinking "wow this looks kinda ass"
Interesting. I just tried astrobot and the haptics on that are a little too powerful. But I guess that is the whole point of the game
It is. I love it so much more than the Dual Shock. But battery life really sucks, especially if you are playing a game that uses it a lot like Astrobot. But overall, it feels really good.
Even without the haptics and adaptive triggers, its a huge upgrade in build quality.
