Limiting a potential sequel to VR only again would be disappointing to be honest.

I saw the white box first and thought did you really put it inside there then I looked up lolI originally planned on the PS5 being in the entertainment center, but it really clashed with everything, so I purchased its own white cube:

oh,
That's the crossbuy issue. Where you have the ps4 disc but you put it into the ps5. When the update downloads show up, you are supposed to select the PS5 only one, and not Download all. Because download all will do the ps4 copy first, and you wont get the ps5 extras.
Put another white cube on the other end in between the other speaker. It will look good,I originally planned on the PS5 being in the entertainment center, but it really clashed with everything, so I purchased its own white cube:

Had something really odd happen, never have I felt like my hands ached or felt awkward after any new controller, and I've played all of em. And there's something about the way my grip sits on this that brings that feeling. I held my Xbox controller afterwards and realized I have to kind of hover my palms over the Dualsense to use the sticks instead of being able to just wrap my palms around for support. I think the tapered ends need more to support your palms.
It makes literally no difference. I have Crash Trilogy on disc on ps4, but i downloaded the ps collection one the other day and continued my ps4 file on ps5 with the digital copy. Save files recognize the game.
First weird thing happened with my PS5 today, specifically the DualSense. When I finished playing last night, my DualSense said it had 2/3 power bar in the UI, so I opted to not plug it in. Put my PS5 into Rest Mode for the evening and went to bed.
Fast forward to a few minutes ago and I press the PS button on my controller to wake the console for the first time since then. Nothing happens. I try multiple times thinking it just didn't register the button press. Zero action. Console and controller don't turn on.
I plug the controller in hoping it will work with a direct connection. No orange glow, no nothing upon connecting.p it. I'm using the supplied USB A->C cable plugged into a rear USB A port. So, if the controller is dead, it's not charging in Rest Mode right now either.
I'm starting to panic a bit, and realize I'll try one more thing. With the controller still plugged in to the rear port, I manually hit the power button...BOOM! Controller comes to life, and console UI says the battery is "low". No crap!
Two things this (maybe) tells me:
1) The DualSense somehow completely drained itself overnight. Like over 14 hours and crucially it was not plugged in.
2) The USB ports will get into a state in Rest Mode where they no longer supply power.
Hopefully my story helps others if they find themselves in a similar predicament and how to deal with it. Hope it's just a fluke.
Everything else has been smooth so far in my experience.

I freaked out when it was installing Miles Morales, but I think that's just normal?
is it really that loud, or do we have a suspect system?
You sure it isn't still downloading? It may be ready to play but for my ps5 it makes noise until the full download and patch is finished. You may have installed the data required to start up, bits of the game, and the patch, but if you go to downloads, maybe it is still downloading it.
Number 2 does seem the apparent one at the moment in rest mode if you read through
Number 1 could also be possible.
I just wanted to check back in and say that this worked for me and the rear port charged my controller completely whereas the front one never did (in standby).
Oh, and thank you again for the help.

Damn...it's huge. Look at the poor little switch beside it lol.
Any chance of the Criterion Channel app on the PS5?
Heard that Vimeo isn't compatible or supported on the PS4 and that's why the Criterion Channel landed only on the Xbox One last gen.

Anyone buy a grip for the DualSense yet? My son is notorious for dropping controllers so I was tempted to get one but not many reviews . Wanna make sure it'll sit flush on the charging dock and stuff too

Having a weird issue resuming via activity cards for Morales. It defaults to Fidelity mode and without subtitles. I went into the PS5 settings to see if the defaults caused it, but even when I corrected those settings it still does it.
I've put about 4 more hours into it since then and haven't had an issue, if that is encouraging for you at least.

Has anyone seen the Dual Sense charging dock come back in stock anywhere online? Still trying to find one.
So what's everyone's Other storage sitting at? I deleted and disabled as much as I could but I have 150 gigs of Other storage and as far as I can tell that's just related to PS4 backwards compatibility? I wasn't really intending on getting an external drive for BC since I don't play that much at once but I also wasn't expecting it to take up a quarter of my drive.
Wario64 posted it was up on Amazon this past Friday and that's how I managed to grab one.
I'm so curious how the Activity Cards system works.
Specifically, how do the cards keep your current save from being overwritten? If I'm on a current story mission in Miles Morales, and I decide to click an activity card that is one of the suit missions, what happens to my current progress?
I think the concept is awesome, but I worry about how I can use it "safely" without losing progress.
Also, do you think the cards is how they'll be able to apply the Quick Resume feature of the Xbox? I would think it would be easy to implement, essentially creating a blank card that can be anyone's custom save state.

Thanks for the response. I just checked and it's set to 10 minutes for controllers. So, guess that's not it. Unless it that setting doesn't work? I do remember the controller being off though when I went to bed too.
the only BC game I have on there right now is Destiny 2, with the other two games being Astro's and Bugsnax. Currently my Other storage is at 22 GB. Does it not go down at all when you delete a BC game? My next game is going to be Ghost of Tsushima and wondering if I should keep PS4 games to a minimum on there right now.
I haven't had any issues going into Standby after the initial problems.
The two factors seem to be either having an external drive connected or Spider-Man Remastered installed (downloading?).
Long as you don't have either then it should be safe.
May have just found a revelatory setting for all those having issues with USB charging...maybe.
Settings > System > Power Saving > Features Available in Rest Mode > Supply Power to USB Ports.
Mine was set to "3 Hours", and I'm changing this to "Always" now. There's also an "Off" setting.
Apologies if this feature has been brought up already, however this explains at least one of the issues I outlined above: ie, the reason my controller would not charge from a USB port after my console had been in Rest Mode all night.
Whoo!

The PS5 shape lends itself to a headset holder. Nice.
Enjoying the PS5 after a few really weird freezes during Astros Playroom on night one. Turned off Rest Mode for now and no errors reported since. Great performance all around, though. PS4 games, especially those with unlocked framerates (Infamous Second Son, MLB The Show 20) feel brand new.
Weird situation, though: I currently have 75+ GB in the "Other" storage category which I assume may be the result of games not transferring correctly from PS4 for PS5. Is the 75+ GB in "Other" normal? Or should I try unplugging and clearing my cache to make sure it's not the result of incomplete data?

just reposting this because I'm curious. I can replicate it on both of my controllers.
I also notice the exact noise in bugsnax when taking out the scanner
Same exact clicking noise when pressing r2 to swing in Miles Morales. Each r2 I get a "click"
82.88GB
That is odd, it does work as far as I can tell.
Means someone took it basically.

I like it. Is that Ikea?

That's an absolutely dope setup.
There's still something wrong though. I have mine set to 3 hours, plug in the controller immediately, and come back a few hours later and it hasn't charged at all.
I'm pretty sure Jeff from Giantbomb mentioned this noise in one of their videos/podcasts and he just thought it was the adaptive triggers either engaging or disengaging
I'll have to try to find when he talks about this.
It's just weird it's specific moments that trigger it. Not always. But Spider-Man every swing does. Noticed it today and made me really nervous
Just dont use it until theres a fix. I cant imagine it taking Sony too long before fixing most of these issues.
That's funny and awesome. Good for you!I originally planned on the PS5 being in the entertainment center, but it really clashed with everything, so I purchased its own white cube:

Yeah but doesn't it kick in automatically at some point?
No. You can power the system off from the home menu without going into Rest Mode.
Oh yeah probably. Wouldn't hurt to turn that off then. But that would be like a "I fell asleep while playing or watching something" situation.
I don't know about that. I don't leave my system idle. I usually just power off when I am done.
