I think the big winner about the PS5, and the digital edition even more so is, with no HDD, the amount of moving parts inside the machine is lessened significantly

I played a bit of PES at Uni (because other people were playing it a lot) and to be fair, I guess these games can be fun if you're playing them against a friend so there's a bit of competition going on... I don't get the appeal vs computer opponent though.

By the end of my time at Uni the PS2 pretty much had Guitar Hero in it permanently though... and the GameCube with Smash Bros Melee. Don't think those discs left the consoles for about 18 months straight :joker:. The "living room consoles" that is, of course. I also had my own PC and PS2 in my room for REAL gaming :hehe: 🤓

Obviously that wasn't "standard PS4", it was breathtakingly standout, along with a few scenes from Death Stranding, showcasing what I think are probably the absolute limits of the PS4... so I guess it'll be a few years until devs start really blowing minds with this gen's capabilities.

OK, so.... wouldn't load up this morning. On screen said there was a storage issue, but then it cycled through to 100% and then turned itself off. Had a look on the internet and seems like it's an issue with the Miles game. Took me about 3 attempts at a factory reset in safe mode before it worked.



Just be careful if you're playing this game I was about level 15/16 and on about 55% completion.



It's been working perfectly since I rebooted without that game.

This is the other reason to hold off a bit on a new launch; letting you lot guinneapig the hardware and firmware issues so that they get patched up. This could be the game but a bad but of game code shouldn't be able to affect the whole system like that, sounds like a firmware issue with the PS5 software itself.

There's a chance I come out of this quids in. Been in contact with both game and playstation. Playstation say they're going to send me a new one out, they're just going through their system and I've provided evidence, so if they do that within the next couple of days, I can send my machine back to game for a full refund as it's faulty and end up with a free PS5 :smug:

...although my wife did almost get two brand new iPhones once, because the delivery fella left the first one in a recycle bin TWO DOORS DOWN and marked it as delivered. Phone company thankfully believed that it never turned up and sent a replacement - then about a week later, the neighbour (who had been off on holiday) knocks the door with the first one. We were honest though and sent it back to the phone company :hmph:
