I saw a ps5 on the shelf at a shop for the first time yesterday. Two, actually, the digital and the disc one. Wow I thought the digital ones were a myth….

I've seen both over the past few months, but not consistently. So I've been at like Target or Best Buy while they've had a few, but usually the next time they're gone again.
But yeah I was surprised to see the digital ones, too.

Does anyone else have an issue where their controller won't connect after coming out of rest mode? I hit the PS button on the controller, the PS5 resumes but the controller stops working with the console. I then have to manually shut down the PS5 and restart before it'll work again. I've tried resetting the controller but hasn't made a difference.
Controller and console are fully up to date.

I still have occasional shit like this with rest mode and I think even occasionally from fully off. I’ve come round to it just being a ‘quirk’ at this point.

I’ve never understood people even wanting to use rest modes. I’ve never done it, and with SSD load ups now there’s less reason than ever. It just sounds like fertiliser for bugs and shortening the life of the console.

My games update in rest mode, so that helps.

From that perspective I guess it makes sense for some. It helps that I don’t play any online games and hardly ever any new games, mine are so old I don’t tend to be interrupted by updates.

I leave it in rest mode if I'm downloading a game or charging the controller. Otherwise I just shut it down fully.

Coming back to ps5 after 5 months, bloody hell what do you mean I have to wait for a game to load? I never realised how much I love Game resume from my X also it is louder than the xbox, playing Uno from the HD at 3am this morning and the console while not that loud was also not whisper quiet like the Xbox.
I will forgive all this when I start GoW next week.

Game Resume is the secret MVP of this generation. Just that one thing makes the PS5 seem kind of old fashioned.

Can I just come in here and quickly voice my childlike excitement that God of War is out in like 9 days.
Thank you for reading this important message.

Quick resume is great when it works, but I can't see myself ever getting to the point where I trust it over auto/manual saves.
Worked 50% of the time with Soul Hackers 2 recently.

Oh yeah, I always save before I switch, Im not a crazy person. And you can suss out pretty quickly which games work and which ones dont. Its usually something that demands to always be connected to a game server and shits itself when it drops.

dfunked I have been lucky at the moment, the only issues I have is starting/resuming multiplayer on Gears games,I think this is a known issue with multiplayer games. I always save when I can anyway, Cyberpunk for example but I do love the system

‘Resume Activity’ on the PS5 is a similar but not quite the same feature. Using it will quick-skip all the start-up bumf and put you back into the game where you left off. I was using it on Tunic recently.
Admittedly, I don’t actually know how it works per game or if all games just use it now.

So the same but not the same and different?

Turn the thing off proper!

I tried it for the first time with Judgment the other day and it just seemed to load the game up as normal, with developer/publisher intro videos and leaving me in the main menu.

Think it's on a per game basis. For me the appeal of Quick Resume isn't so much the fast loading but having the families 'go-to's" available to hot swap between. Peggle, Paw Patrol, Hades, Plague Tail.

About what I was expecting. Maybe even a little cheaper.

Told myself I'd be day 1 for that, having skipped VR1 but now I think ah, perhaps not

Another £500+ to live in the back of the cupboard after the first six months (of really quite enjoying it, to be fair)...
I suspect I'm in, though.

Expected, but that's a nope from me. If there was guaranteed back-compat I'd probably consider it, but seeing as they've said no to that, I really can't justify having two PSVR headsets in the house!

Perhaps one to wait for the inevitable bundle once there’s a good bunch of just have titles for it.

If you dont mind nits, I suspect it will be the most traded in item in CEX within six months, so you could bag a bargain.
