I have no need for either of the ones listed in the thread. So I voted neither. I'd personally want folders and a better PSN store as there's no tab for any of the sales.
Ish, none of those are useful to me, and I'd rather devs universally work on proper frame pacing with variable res instead of relying on a VRR crutch.
I need nvme support somewhere in the next year or so, the sooner they have a list, the sooner there's competition driving down the price.
Folders. Folders. Folders.
A better media remote, or support for the PS3 remote, or allow third parties to make traditional remotes. I suppose some people like the simple remote for streaming services, but they really went all Apple style assuming people are too stupid to use a remote with more than 3 buttons. The PS3 remote was perfection. Please do that again.

I want an fix for use of external hard drives. After getting the black screen of death yesterday and fixing it by turning off the ps5 by the power button and disconnecting the external I've resigned to not using the external until they fix that issue. But now I already used up half my internal hard drive just with a few games. And I haven't even put any new games on it.
VRR by far.
Quick resume is cool I guess, but I wouldn't really use it. VRR, on the other hand, is essential for anyone with a supported display.

I'm perplexed that the most pressing need is missing from the poll: being able to cold store PS5 games on external UBS drives.
I'd like folders and a solution for people having issues with external drives. Quick resume and VRR are not priorities to me. Activity cards are a good solution for super fast loading, and VRR is quite niche compared to the other things I mentioned.
NVME support is needed TODAY.
The main app bar is more like a 'opened recently' thing. Your full library has to be accessed through a separate option and has no search/folder/label/filter options. It is impossible on larger libraries.

I'd like Quick Resume. Don't get me wrong, the loading speeds are immense, but it does lose some of its luster if you still have to load into the game as well - some games don't let you save and pick up exactly like you were like Quick Resume would. Folders would certainly be nice too.
Yeah gonna agree here. I thought the media remote was going to be good for Bluray playback but it's mainly a streaming remote. If I'd realized it was mainly a streaming remote I wouldn't have bothered with it, and it's the one accessory I made sure to get ASAP.

I would like better sorting and filtering options for my library. Also better display options (lists, big icons, small icons, etc.).
Unironically, I want a stability update. I had lots of issues this morning when I plugged in an external hard drive - a device that works perfectly well with the PS4.
Honestly just general improvements, I dont care about the stuff in the poll at all.
Rather like more stability
NVME slot enabled
Some more refinement of Activities like to pin a trophy you are tracking so its easy to check
Put the Media Gallery In the Media Section of the OS.
Better Search in the game library, or filters I dont care for folders if they have some good sorting or filtering.
That's about it for me.

Microsoft should really get more kudos for keeping the UI largely unchanged with the Series S/X, and keeping all previous gen UI features available. It's so annoying how Sony/Nintendo both insist on starting their UIs over from scratch each gen, losing years of features that were added over time. Sure they'll probably get added back eventually, but you know this is going to repeat again every generation and it sucks.
My only issue is folder and general UI tweaks. Like there were so many features in PS4's UI that I took for granted.
- Trophies vertical
- Less button presses to see hidden Trophy info
- Set a default view of trophies (I like to be presented with earned date first instead of having to change it everytime I visit)
- Folders for games
- If you won't add folders, when I go to library, let me set up which games I see first, aka installed games vs games not on my console
- When I press the PS button, if I am not taking to home screen, at least put my cursor on the Home icon. I don't care about whatever stories is. All it has done so far is show me games I don't care about (Fortnite and COD)
- Is there an easy location to access clips you have saved that I am missing? Right now I go to options/storage/media gallery to look at them and I feel that isn't the best method.
- Power Save method when you are on the home screen. I don't think that exists right now
- Option to see a game's update history
Uh, I think reassuring people that their console won't crash/brick if they use rest mode and/or play certain games should be the top priority right now? Like, even if it's a very small chance, it's definitely higher than the normal failure rate.
Folders
Let me also re-organize the order of things in the control center.
NVME
Cold store PS5 games on external
Double press playstation button to bring up power/shut off options.
Change the layout of parties on top of friends list. I'd prefer to have them open in a card side by side vs parties on top then friends on bottom. Or the option to just go to a page with both.

Folders, and the ability to 'pin' folders on the front page. It's really a shame they didn't ship with this basic feature.
Is VRR not in? I thought it was?

I want stability, and I want internal SSD support and/or the ability to move PS5 games to the external when not in use.
Quick resume? - bleh, 3 games in frozen state would take up an extra 50GB. Storage is precious. Between the load times and the card system I don't care about this. Sure, in 4 years when PS5s have much bigger SSDs, add it as an option.
Don't like how VRR and 1440p are tethered. I care about VRR, but in no rush for it. 1440p is a niche request I don't care about. Any non-dated 1440p monitors can take 4k over HDMI and downscale to 1440p anyway. The res might have made sense for PS4, but PS5? Nah.

I mean quick resume would be nice, as would VRR for people with TVs that can take advantage of it but I really want folders & the ability to hide things again + also cold storage
plus what is up with the library combining certain titles? Shenmue 1 & 2 are like this where I have to pick from the drop down menu on the game page to switch between them; also I have games that show as not BC because for some reason it defaults to the demo that I had downloaded once :-/ so I have to go through an extra set of menus to get to the game

Stabaility and quick resume.
not having quick resume is annoying now that I live in a world where it exists.

I've been messing with the console for just about an hour and I'm gonna say it right now:
Change the trophy cards, Sony!!
It's been rectangles since 2008, why would you change it to squares??!!
My Trophy list looks so filthy and disorganized.
P.S- As I install some PS4 games I have here, the SSD expansions can't come soon enough. The rest of the poll is pretty meh to me.

I can't find any way to output 120Hz @ 1080P, so that please! I'd like to check out some 120Hz titles but only have HDMI 2.0 on my tv (which supports 1080@120Hz).
Sorry for appearing arrogant on top of my Folder throne.
I would trade my entire highly organized kingdom for a PS5
Agree, I really don't get it, I can understand a quick resume between multiple games maybe, but folders? How hard is it to apply that to an UI specially when you already had it in the UI for the PS4?
Stability, and yes I'm serious about that, themes, and Folders. Would think they would carry over things that everyone uses on the PS4 on to the PS5 UI for launch like folders.
