All I know is ps4 required a long press to shut down and it’s so ingrained I do it every time on ps5. I also found out the hard way that xm3’s don’t work with the ps5, that’s the most sony thing sony ever sonied.

Ok, I'm doing it now, quitting diablo 4 Press and hold ps button to bring back ps5 gui Press ps button quicker than above to bring up the game icons menu and then press x to confirm Then a very quick tap of ps button to bring the bottom ps5 menu up to select shut down. It's shite. Or at least, I don't get on with it. Press start on the game tile, instead of your second step.

My sony headphones wouldnt connect to my old sony TV which you would think, in terms of creating a user ecosystem, would be the biggest tap in ever.
This was a few years ago but it was incredibly annoying.

Another one to press while trying to remember how long to press ps button. Just saying it could all be a bit easier. Like the ps4 is.

For a supposed standard Blutooth actually working with things that supposedly work with it can be so bloody hit and miss.

I see the PS5 has dropped to 399 with a free game. That's a fucking great deal.

I usually just pair my XM3s with the TV, if that's an option, but obviously not all TVs have Bluetooth.

Fwiw my XM4s can connect to my 2022 Sony TV, and my XM2s could connect to my 2017 Sony TV before that. I do take the point that it's annoying that you can't Bluetooth them direct to the console though.

It's not a limited time thing apparently it's a fixed decision from Sony, most likely to clear stock before the new PS5 format comes in.

It is a limited time thing, the £75 off is until August 10th, GAME are doing trade-ins until then though so you've got time dmukgr.

I then dusted off the ps4 and played the last version I had, 19. Up till then I bought it every year. Anyhow, I thought bugger that, paid 79p or whatever for ea play for a months trial and downloaded Fifa 23. It doesn’t really seem much different. Idiot as I am however I still pre purchased the new one as it is for both ps4 and ps5. I’m such a mug with shiny new thing and fear of missing out.

Why the hell not make it compatible, you are alienating a hardcore part of your followers...

Presumably it just doesn’t have whatever interface port they went with.

And yeah, the ‘If true’ is a good point as nothing is official.

It's still not confirmed whether there's a new model is even coming out so when it is announced whether or not an external drive works on the old model will be confirmed.
Considering they'll make probably a huge mark up on the drive it would make sense for it to work on the original one too. I would seriously doubt it'll have a unique connector so it'll just plug into a USB3 socket.

The only positive that I can see about it is that you don't have to get a new PS5 if the drive breaks down the line.

With all the reductions to £39.99 on controllers, are there any rumours of a redesigned pad? I can’t see much online, but it’s the first console I’ve owned that updates the controller via t’internet

Doubt there'll be any changes to the DualSense other than the usual small internal stuff that most people never notice. There's the Edge for anyone who wants something a bit more customisable which unfortunately means the return of the back button adapter that the DS4 had, which I loved, is unlikely.

I've seen that going through the rounds for a while now. Obviously it's just the case but I'll believe it when it actually appears as anyone can mock up a case.
