I can’t fecking believe this just happened. I was excited that I received an email yesterday saying my parcel will arrive tomorrow at 10am. Here I am waiting for DPD. Finally he shows up and....he fecking gives it to someone else 4 DOORS DOWN! So I’m like ok there’s probably another parcel. Nope, he just drives off and so I check my tracking thing and says he’s delivered it. I’m fuming at this point because the neighbour would probably just pretend he didn’t get anything. So I gotta work up and go over to him. And guess what...I just see the box put OUTSIde the damn door and there’s no one answering TF. I walk up the steps and see my name on the box with my house number 36 on it. NOT 32, I’m like “you stupid motherffff”. Thankfully there was no drama after that. And now she’s home. Yeees! Sweet Christmas!

Nice!

Can you use USB-C headphones with the dualsense controller? I'm not getting any audio when I try.

Does anyone know if you can play someone on PS4 if you have the PS4 version of the game?

For example my mate can't afford a PS5 right now but he has FIFA 21. Could I play him online if I play the PS4 version on my PS5?

Tagging @Damien cause I feel like he'll know.

I think so. It should only not work if you're playing on the PS5 version. Tagging @Redlambs as I don't want to take the sole blame if it is not the case, but you're playing the PS4 version on the PS4 servers so you should be in the PS4 matchpool.

The x button on my controller is harder to press than the rest, and it doesn't bounce back as quickly either.

Anybody else having this issue, or know the best way to solve it?

Probably best to replace it with the warranty rather than try manually fix it under the hood

Bought one for £750 from Facebook.

The guy is supposed to deliver in 2 hours, let's see how it goes :nervous:

And this is why the bots and scalpers buy up all the stock.

As much as I'm enjoying my PS5, I wouldn't pay 750 for it.

Especially as Bugsnax and MM can be played on other systems

What's the point. You might also get issues with warranty etc. With a fair few issues going round, unless he has a legitimate receipt.

Not sure why people can't wait, most likely, 2-3 weeks for stock to come back or getting one not far off RRP off classified forums etc.

Honestly I think it’s nuts to pay almost double the console’s worth. You’ll be able to get one shortly at the normal price with a bit of patience. Even if it was a “jingle all the way” promised a child the present for Christmas thing, I’d still just tell them I’d get them one when I could.

it’s because of scalpers you didn’t get one in the first place so I don’t see the logic of feeding those very same people..... it’s like saying “oh you punched me in the face...here’s £300”

Can it be live-streamed so we can at least tell the scalper what pure scum they’re?

If anyone is after the Disc version and is with EE for their phone contract, they'll offer you a PS5 for £10 upfront, £40 a month for 11 months as part of their phone contract. They're getting stock 15th December by the looks of things.

Just close your eyes, forget your name
Just had a hard crash in Spiderman Remastered, right in the opening cinematic. Looks to have fried the HDMI cable from amp to screen, as now not getting HDR on any device. Amp diagnostic says cable. Not a happy bunny.

Just got my second ever plat



Absolutely loved Bugsnax. Story was weird but really good and I loved figuring out how to capture all 100 bugsnax. Its a little bit like an open world pokemon game

nah, just do literally everything - all the sidequests, secret puzzles and catch all the snacks. Then there are a couple of challenges involving catching snacks in specific ways

Wow, that sounds like a bad one.

Tell me this does your games download digitally if you transfer them over from PS4 even if they were originally a disk game or do you still need the disk?

I only ask as a young relative now wants a PlayStation and I want to give him my disk games as well.

You’d still need your disc if you want to play the game.
