PlayStation 5 |OT| Play Has No Limits

Something is not right, I have 176gb of games with 21gb of Other.
You guys/gals think Sony will ever do soemthing to improve PS Now's offerings? It doesn't have to be exclusives directly on there, but like third party games going directly on there? I just feel like I subscribe to gamefly and just wish Sony had something going for them with the PS Now.
Not sure about a guide, I'll take a stab at answering your questions:
For the latter part - No BT headphones work, if you want wireless they need to be wireless gaming headphones connected to USB (or via adapter of some sort), or any wired headphones connected to the controller or a stereo USB DAC will work.
How to set it up: There are two settings in the PS5 settings menu:
"Enable 3D Audio" - Self-explanatory, this will need to be enabled for the 3D audio effect to be heard. Perhaps not so obviously (and annoyingly), most discerning listeners would recommend this should be manually togged off for non-3D audio games (that is, most every PS4 BC game). If left enabled, I believe it tries to simulate surround sound instead of direct audio from the games, which many think does not sound as good. YMMV.
"Adjust 3D Audio Profile" - With 3D audio enabled, this will play the sound of running water, and each of the options makes it use a different HRTF. These have the effect of raising the water stream up or down. It is suggested to adjust so that the water sounds about parallel with your ears. This is basically an experiment area, see which works best for your ears.
Edit: There is a large thread on USB DACs for PS5 here:
PS5 USB DAC compatibility
Hello, I’m thinking of getting a Sennheiser 560D will I be able to connect them to DAC/AMP and hear both my pc (YouTube videos) and me gaming on the PS5? Could I accomplish this using a mixamp pro tr or a sound blaster gc7? I don’t want to use any extractor I have a C2 available with optical...

Many thanks. I had a pair of USB headphones that worked on the PS4. I am presuming they will work in a similar fashion. I still find it baffling that Sony don't support bluetooth headphones without the need for an adapter. I'm guessing it is a latency issue of some kind.
I don't know if I have some setting off or not but my console doesn't seem to be downloading updates in rest mode. Whenever I turn the system back on it switches from LAN disconnected and then queues up the downloads. Don't know how to fix it.
Also my controller battery life is absolutely abysmal. It can be full and then need to be charged again 5 hours later.

I had the exact same thing with downloads in rest mode.
What happens most of the time is I switch the console on and then it downloads the update.
Apparently the console just does intermittent checks as opposed to downloading and installing as soon as something is available.
So if you switch your console off at 12am and it does it's check at 5am and the game update releases at 7am it won't download until you switch the console on at say 7pm the next day. The only way it would download the update is if in my example you switch your console on a couple days later so it had done its next "check".
I don't know the time frames for check etc so the time frames are just examples.
I always assumed it would just download and install things as and when.
I have two controllers and they are always fully charged as they sit in the dual sense charging dock but noticed one of my controllers has about a 2 hour battery life which isn't normal at all. The other can last anywhere from 5-8 hours depending what games I'm playing.
Pretty normal, I have had this happen going back to the DS3.
I'm noticing markedly lower charge life while playing Ratchet & Clank, but that's because for the last few months all I've played are PS4 games. Haptics on the PS4 use way less energy than haptics on the DS5 (but I'm totally okay with that tradeoff - when the DS5 is used well it's amazing!).
Have they taken away the option to sort your friends list? I had so many friends in a Destiny 2 folder but now I have no clue how I know some of them. xD
Not necessarily the haptics, but the triggers. I can imagine the triggers eat into battery life a decent amount.
I have a disc PS5 on the way from WalMart... Has anyone bought black side plates from Amazon or similar? Recommendations? I like for my systems to disappear under/behind my TV so I'll be making it black.
Any game thats part of the psnow subscription you can stream on your pc.
Sorry if it's been already ask numerous time but: did sony communicated about an end of shortage?
Estimated that the chip shortage will continue industry wide until mid 2022, but it could possibly extend to early 2023. Sony has said that supply will get better starting in the second half of the year though.
So it's still possible to imagine ps5 available this holiday, I'm really wondering if their going to release a pro version when the standard version isn't really 'available' almost one year after the release
Even if supply is better for the PS5 you should still expect stock to sell out in minutes. A possible Pro version would not come out until holiday 2024 at the earliest so the shortage should be over by then.
720p but that's getting upgraded to 1080 if it hasn't already.
And no it's not native pc apps so you won't get any graphic options it'll run as it runs on a ps3/PS4
I just did a Google search and saw this article...
PlayStation Now will roll out support for 1080p streaming starting this week (article dated April 22, 2021)
Sony will begin rolling out support for 1080p streaming with PlayStation Now beginning this week, upping the streaming quality from the cloud gaming service's previous 720p cap...

Previously, PS Now games could only stream at up to 720p.

Yes but wouldn't it be the exact same with extreme rarity of the pro iteration? Currently ps5 is like a rumor, no one have one and no one have seen one, I mean their purpose is have a market, here their is a demand but offer isn't there to answer. I don't see sony launch a new product with too much shortage (and I might be completely wrong I'm just saying my current point of view)
I haven't gotten my hands on one yet, unfortunately. Still using my two white ones I got at launch.
Are the store links shareable or tied to PSN ID? I'd like to share with an Era member if possible.
There are two points you have to remember, even with the shortage the PS5 is their best selling console ever, and the point of the PS5 Pro would be to dissuade people from shifting to PCs with better hardware in three years time. So even if demand in three years is incredible and base systems are selling out, they can continue that momentum with a Pro system and with the chip shortage over they will continue to break sales records.
You mean linking a product page? They should be universal.
Do other discs work? While not PS5 specifically, I had a friend who had the same thing happen with their copy of MK8 on the Wii U a few years back. Their copy was brand new, no scratches or imperfections, but it would not read the disc. However, my copy of MK8 worked great in the same Wii U.
I don't use Gamefly, could it possibly be some cleaning fluid they use between customer use, that left residue, or maybe some covid related antibacterial cleaning. Try giving the disc a wipe

Are you actively playing all these games? or some you can move to cold storage? Cold storage is very helpful with a NVME.we need that Internal SSD upgrade ASAP
Knowing Activision, it's Probably by design.we need that Internal SSD upgrade ASAP
Mine also came!
Time to replay It Takes Two on the PS5 edition with my gf. We did the PS4 version first since we had a Dual Sense and DS4.
I have the disc version of that game and the cover says I can get a free digital upgrade to the Ps5 version. But every time I put the disc in the system only offers the trial version
I click 'View Product' and then click the (...) again I believe and it's there. It's a 50~ GB download and I was able to delete the PS4 disc install after that. Either that or it's in the Addon/DLC section down a little further?
The PS5 controller really is an incredible piece of tech. Playing through Returnal is such an engrossing audio visual and physical experience because the feedback makes you feel every weapon. The environments are so much more alive with the little crunchy pulses. I really hope MS rips this off for the next Elite controller. It's hard going back to games that don't utilize it
Have to say my big. PS5 was collecting dust for the first 6 months of so but in the last 2 Sony has just gone bang bang bang bang with FF7R Intergrade, TLOU 2 patch, Returnal and Ratchet. Even Metro Exodus Enhanced is a ridiculously upgrade and better than the SX version.
I've spent every single month since the PS5 released using it.
Either with new games or taking care of my backlog i don't have a minute with nothing to play on it.
Some PS Plus games have been great as well.
