A plastic disc spinning at hundreds of RPM is going to make a noise, so there’s no way it’s going to be ‘silent’. Some people do seem to have noisier drives than others.

It’s only going to spin up to install or to do the license check when you launch the game, it really doesn’t matter unless it sounds like a bag of tools being thrown down the stairs in which case the drive is probably hosed up in some way.

Phew. I loaded up Yakuza 0 today and I got worried. The only other "issue" my console has is it makes a ticking sounds when it cold boots but stops after like 5 seconds.

Hopefully your package wasn't involved in the 29 vehicle accident yesterday on the interstate. I saw at least one UPS truck in the pile, my heart dropped when i saw that on the news yesterday.

Back in the day my launch day PS4 showed up DOA so I had to ship it back to Sony. When the new unit was on its way about two weeks later, the train it was on derailed. It took another week to get it.

popfindr said local target had 33 units. i arrived at 6:30am in the rain with a wicked pinched nerve in my neck, there were like 50 people openly standing in monsoon level rainstorm in sweatpants waiting to get into the store. i stepped out of the car, felt the ferocity of the rain for about 10 seconds, immediately stepped back in and drove away. there were like 6 accidents on the freeway on the way back. i am defeated!

It's cheaper to polish a tool to create a gloss finish than it is to spark the tooling to give a rougher matt finish.

I'd be unsurprised if there was a a black or black and white ps5 next year, though they might leave that for branded tie ins to releases - Horizon/God of War etc.

PS 5 Pro based on the timeline of the ps4 pro would be what, 2023? Bigger SSD (1.5/2 tb?) some processor/graphics improvements maybe more ram? This is years off so baseless speculation.

Tap "A" to drink!!!

Right now the loudest technical issues seem to be centered around rest mode and using external drives. Not sure if they're just amplifying what happened to Gerstman or if more users are experiencing it.

I've been using rest mode fine so far, but the reports have generally been with Miles Morales which I won't be able to try until this weekend.

Trying to send a 6+ kilo parcel without insurance on royal mail turns out to be £16 (note, i've seen conflicting reports on weight, suspect that's box+everything versus the console itself). £26 with insurance. Obviously they'll have volume discounts and prefered rates, but i'm not sure it's that big of a saving for them given how big/heavy this is.

There’s enough smoke about external drives that I’d pay attention to it - it also seems reasonable that the I/O tech is weird, proprietary, and new enough that there might be some bugs in the firmware when interfacing with a billion different drives. The rest seems like people mistaking correlation for cause.

So far my only complaints about the system are that the way the ui handles ps4/PS5 versions is completely stupid and unintuitive. I also question the motives of whoever designed the horizontal stand - why the gently caress would you not design this drat thing to “click in” and tell the user that it’s set right in a tactile way?

Otherwise, absolute beast of a system. Between this and my series X absolutely feel like this generation is off to a waaaaaaay stronger start than the last one.

If I wanted free delivery or Royal Mail I’d have picked free delivery or Royal Mail at checkout and not paid £11.99 for guaranteed pre-12 courier delivery with a service provider that I trust.

Is there any major difference between bitstream Dolby or DTS?

Bitstream is usually what you want, it's uncompressed while the other options use lossy compression. But you can't send bitstream 5.1 or 7.1 over ARC, only stereo. Between Dolby and DTS I think you want DTS if your AVR can handle it, it's less compressed.

Nope. Curious where the Canada goons who are getting theirs are located. I’m in Alberta and the shipment didn’t even leave BC until 7pm yesterday so I was turbo screwed. I doubt it will be the Wednesday estimate but I give it a 1% chance of it actually coming today. If Best Buy had actually shipped it on Tuesday (it was a holiday Wednesday so I wouldn’t have gotten it anyway that day) I probably could have gotten it.

If you don’t live in BC or Ontario you’re always screwed on shipping.

Ummmm I just switched to Performance mode in Miles to see how different it looks from Fidelity and I don't think ray-tracing can hold a candle to this 60fps smoothness, holy hot drat. Pretty sure I'm never switching back.

I’m not him, but I have both as well and fully agree.

As for which of the two is more impressive out the gate, there’s no comparison... PS5 is providing a next generation experience while Series X just feels like a really, really nice One X at the moment.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

Having both, the Xbox just reminds me that I can be disappointed in the next fallout for $1 on gamepass PC. PS5 is an experience, it has a coolness to it, and it has gravity that makes you want to use it or talk about it. As mentioned I feel like I am doing something interesting and new on PS5 and not Xbox where I have so far been doing old poo poo.
