PS5 issues are freaking me out.

I will wait until it´s clear what´s happening. Anyway, scarcity of ps5 can make impossible buying one until mid next year.

Are you serious dude? Yeah, let's stop discussing anything and everything just because a pandemic is going on. I bet you were one of the people who bought 5000 rolls of toilet paper.

I had one crash. It was during the first 30 mins of Astros’s playroom. The game just froze then gave an error message and went back to the Home Screen. Havent had any issues since so I’ll see what happens over the coming days and weeks.

ive had 3 crashes total. one was Sekiro. two were while playing Demon's Souls.
both times they were while fast-loading back to the hub world, so it's probably software, something memory related. they are pushing shit around at insane speeds.
no biggie, it takes all of 5 seconds to start the game up again after a crash. if this is the price i have to pay until they patch this stuff, then i will wait a total of 15 extra seconds.

Wow, just wow. It looks like a simple scenario that should have been tested by QA. They are launching the thing totally raw.

Plus, PS4 also crashes at times, so its nothing new.
Dude, we have seen your posts. You are not in any position to call anyone pathetic

You're freaking out, but you won't cancel your preorder? Sounds like you're not freaking out, and just want some attention. Some of us can't even buy a console this year, because it might not even release in our countries until 2021, and you're whining about normal failure rates on a system you already have preordered. Is this thread going the way you expected it would? Didn't think this one through properly, did you?

Was in the middle of playing spiderman screen froze and system was unresponsive. Had to hit the power button to get it to restart. It did the whole drive check thing etc.
Stop shaming people for reporting issues with this console. There is enough smoke to warrant the fact that there are definitely at least software issues that are causing a whole range of issues that many people are experiencing. I also believe these issues are somewhat widespread. I say this as a Sony fanboy since 1998

It doesn't look like PS5 issues are widespread (let's remember that all the people without any issues with their consoles are staying silent on social media) so you're basically taking the same risk as with most new hardware.
Like I've said you can play it safe and keep your PS4 or wait for the first updated model with less day1 flaws (or at least for the updated firmware).

ACG, who was one of the first people in games media to have their PS5 crap out on him said tonight that his replacement PS5 is also acting up now.
it makes me wonder if all the ones acting up are coming from the same place? Is there anyway to track lot numbers and see if there’s some connection?

There was someone on reddit who explicitly tested rest mode and did not have any issue. So, it’s not like it’s not working - just some people having issues.

This next gen seems to have the worst launches ever, I think that a pandemic didn't help at all.

Cancel the preorder and get a chimney. Winter is close.

Game crashing is one thing but game shutting off the system is another...

If it was as loud as in the video of the PS4 Pro I posted last night I would tend to agree as I would definitely hear it, but as I understand it this sort of high frequency buzzing isn't classified as a fault as all it is is electricity/current flowing around a coil making it shake?
Will have to wait and see how prevalent this problem s in the few weeks as more people get consoles.

Like VRR I believe the PS5 doesn't support ALLM at the moment.

That sucks Karak, I just saw your video about getting the other PS5 and how excited you were. I hope everything works out for you in the coming days.

Some people have reported that they don’t have a issue with Samsung going into auto gaming mode

I got that weird vibrate noise on my ps5 ....only occurs when a game is on and it’s not a disc read as there is no disc in the tray
presuming it’s a fan profile or something
Console is standing up

I believe Samsung detects if it's a game console without using ALLM.
Good question and I'm going to answer in a legit way which I shouldn't even have to: I don't have sympathy for stupid people using their money unwisely, exactly like those cynical corporations and therefor I could want them to scam, abuse and ruin these people out of their money.
The problem is that I'm also sane, passionate and want the best products: these stupid people are the reason why the whole innovative, creative and products industries are getting worse and worse. By accepting to continue voting "degenerate" with their wallet, these people are the reason why innovation is dead, smart and better design is dead, better, more creative and fun or practical products or games are dead, objective sanity in the criticism of these product enabling company to know where to aim is dead.
Which eventually does not just alienates and disgusts what I believe to be still a majority of smart people, but also actually destroys the value produced by these products, and eventually the company behind making it. But again in the absence of sanity, stupid degenerate I could treat like companies and medias since that's what you deserve or...I prefer to "troll" in order to show the few that sanity still exist and maybe distill some sense into other.

I played some CoD MP and Astros Playroom so far, without issues. I have not played Valhalla or Spider-Man MM yet.
My set up has standard WD external USB HDD connected to the PS5. I shut down every time, no rest mode (Not ready to risk issues with that yet).

You forgot the automatic downscaling to PS 4 versions of PS 5 games xD
But stuff like this is to be expected from a exclusive 500 Dollar Beta test.

The only issue I noticed so far (that is obvious) is the controller charging.
I hook it up directly to the PS5, it lights up but when I start the console it shows less than 100% after hours of charging.
I'm guessing it is reading the battery level wrong since I have not ran out of juice in all the hours I have played it.

ok mate....... no one was questioning your sanity. I'm going to go play my PS5 and just enjoy it and hope it doesn't break, which it probably won't

Apart from the trolls it's actually going perfectly well. Even Karak has been posting in here with his console woes and considering we are over 5 pages in with only a few of you assholes trying to ruin the thread, I'd say I'm happy with the general mood and attitude of everyone here.
Thanks for checking in with me though. You really didn't have to.

How dare people get upset that they've spent over £/$500 of their hard earned cash on a new console to only be riddled with problems! How dare the consumers! How very dare they the bunch of Karens & Kyles!!

They believe is a software problem and not a hardware one. So they are being careful until Sont releases a patch.
