So my PS5 has started doing this weird thing when I turn it on. It basically boots up as normal, but when it normally loads the profiles it instead does nothing.
The background music and effects still happen, but the controller is unresponsive and no profiles come up for me to select.
Tried restarting, still nothing.
Haven't googled how to factory reset without going through the menus, but might have too?

I've had a bit of success with boot up issues (mainly where the PS5 boots with a black screen) with this method:
1. Turn the PS5 off by holding the power button down. Keep holding it down until it double beeps.
2. With the PS5 off, unplug the system or pull the power cable from the back of the unit.
3. Press and hold the power button again for about 30 seconds to discharge any build up of residual voltage.
4. Plug it back in, boot up as normal and cross your fingers.
This has worked pretty much every time for me so far, although I had to do it twice on one occasion.

Cheers guys, in the end I booted up in safe mode and installed the latest patch.
That seemed to solve it

So in the week I was browsing through the store and noticed Judgment for ps5 was on sale for about 22 quid. I have it on PS4 and only completed first couple of chapters but after a wave of 60fps titles I simply cannot play 30fps games anymore. It's way too jarring. I was in middle of playing it when I got the ps5 and obviously switched to the newer current gen games running at lovely silky 60. I was away for a couple of days and mulled over buying the upgrade (which I think is taking the piss by not having a discounted path, or free upgrade but I'm not entitled and don't expect free upgrades). It's now back up to full price annoyingly.
So I wondered how about continuing Yakuza series. I finished 0+1 so let's see about Yakuza 2 as it's pennies at minute. Blasted 30fps! The only one stuck in that frame cap. Son of a...

6 also, unless you play it on the Series consoles. But the rest should be 60.

I could have sworn 6 was 60. Must have confused it with the series consoles then. Unless they patch 2 or figure a way out to unlock frame rate then it's unlikely I'll go through the Kiryu Saga. I hear 2 is highly rated so not one to skip. I'd feel like I was missing out jumping straight to 3.

Erk. Just bought one after the usual dilly dallying.
Sat in the payment screen whilst I was balancing up if I should or not. Clicked go and the angel on one shoulder was hoping I was too late, the devil on the other was saying fuck it.. it is IN THE BASKET.

Hah, no, but might be when the box turns up and it is full of pet food.

Started playing the ps5 version of Borderlands 3 and the upgrade is really nice, 4k/60. Not too keen on the haptic trigger upgrade though, feels weird so turned it off. Certainly making my ps5 work under duress, can hear the fan constant and really heats up.

PS5 turned up today after a brief panic yesterday when I received notification that my delivery was attempted and a photo was attached that was not my front door.. Alarms bells and a slightly frantic call to the courier before I realized my error. Billing address was correctly using my current but the delivery address was my old house! It only dawned on me when I looked in the reflection of the front door (which had been changed by new owners)- could see the old neighbours houses! Fortunately, I was able to get the delivery redirected since I'm still in the same depot district...
Having said that, I've been too busy to open the inner PS5 box so it may still be bags of rice for dinner tonight...

I never hear my Series X, but it's got plenty of airflow around it. If I do get a PS5 I worry that the only space I've got left for it is laying down sideways in a media unit, and I don't want to cook it and/or it to sound like the PS4 its entire lifetime.

Mine is horizontal in a media unit. Open backed with a bit of a gap behind and there's a bit of space above and to the sides. I've never really heard the fans kick in so far.
A closed back unit would probably be a different story.

No its upright on stand sitting beside tv in the open air. It's normally really quiet but this game is pushing it to it's limits i think.

I don't think Borderlands 3 should be that demanding? Might be a duff fan. oh yeah

Well fuck. Had a power cut and it has fucked my ps5. Looks like I need to manually reinstall the os from a USB stick.
I honestly can't remember the last time I used one, so need to go buy one.
I am fucking terrified I may have lost my Ghost of Tsushima save. I am literally on the last mission and very close to platinum, that is a shit load of hours to lose.

Shit... Hopefully the cloud saves are up to date I've just gone a bit mad and ordered a black replacement shell for mine. Almost a year on and the white parts still haven't grown on me. Would be nice if Sony offered an official replacement part instead of just shutting down anybody that makes them.

Might be interested, but then again, my pulse 3D phones are white...

It's a disc one, it seems like replacement shells are a bit harder to find for the digital version. I've been meaning to snap up a black controller next time I see a bargain too.

I keep getting errors due to save data corruption on the cloud with Yakuza 7 and must choose the console save data to override and sync. Was fine till a week ago. Anyone else?

Seems to be stock drops all over the place today. Maybe Sony have been holding back stock for the holiday season. I don't get paid until Friday.

Quite tempted with RE Village on the Halloween sale at £31. What was the general consensus in the end, as good as RE7?

Not better. Maybe just as good, different style for sure.

I didn't play it yet but I understand that it turns into a bit of a run and gun in the latter half, rather than a proper survival horror

I’m playing hitman 2 atm. Does it actually do anything if you play it through hitman 3?

RE8 has a little bit of all of 'em in there and none of the sections really outstay their welcome. I thought it was pretty excellent tbh. I've never bothered replaying RE7 but I'll definitely go back and try 8 on harder modes at some point. Really enjoyed it.

If you've never played through the Hitman games before, you can play through the entire series in 3 and it'll be the same as if playing the standalone games. If you have played 1 and 2, your progress carries over to 3, so all your completion rate and unlocks should still be there in 3. Having the previous two games playable in 3 is great because you get the benefits of the updated engine, while also using a smaller amount of disk space than having them installed individually.
