I have a 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD, decided to use it for PS4 game storage on the PS5.
Plugged into the back of the PS5 along side the Pulse 3D headset dongle (prefer it plugged in the back out of the way), well on voice chat my mate was getting terrible interference and drop outs on our chat. I put the Pulse dongle in the front of the PS5- and the problem went away. My SSD was in a 2.5” caddy enclosure.
I sent back the enclosure and bought a simple Sata cable for the SSD, plugged it in the back of the PS5 alongside the Pulse 3D and the problem went away 👍🏻
Sounds like my caddy was somehow interfering with the dongle in the next USB at the back.
Sorry for the waffle, but this may help someone out 🤔
Having the mental capacity of a 5 year old I always buy physical, as I often get bored within a week.... I have ordered this on disc, but if it grabs me will buy it digitally, as it takes months to complete
Make sure auto cloud updates are off, that way if the stoopid game messes your save up you can go back to your last one! Just backup each time you finish playing, silly thing is the PS4 Pro version was fine... apart from major screen tearing before the update
Crashed around 10 times in 6 hours play after the latest update, then corrupted my save so I had to start again. (TWICE!) .. 6 of the trophies are unobtainable too, check them out on PSProfiles
What a broken game, PS4 version on the Pro ran fine. PS5 version is a mess, found one track in chapter 5 where half way round each lap the game bins you off and puts you to the back each lap making it impossible to win, so that trophy is unobtainable now also
Along with about 5 others
This game has broken trophies on PS5, when they are supposed to pop they crash the PS5 and sometimes corrupt your save for you... happened twice to me before I checked PS Profiles to find not one person in the world has the platinum, as it is bugged......
Create a Turkish PSN account, log in on the PS5, insert the disc and view the game on the store, it will then let you upgrade to the PS5 version... another 44gb if my memory serves me
I have a PS5 console and the PS4 disc version of Valhalla.... well a few days ago people were getting the free PS5 upgrade, not anymore!
It is bugged out and I have been playing the PS4 version on a PS5.
On Reddit it says the only way to fix this is sign up with a Turkish account, then you can upgrade... what a PITA
Will test and report back... in the UK by the way.
The above worked for me, but only by creating a Turkish account 🤔
Tried both UK and USA accounts and a clean install, no go.

Re: BBC Consumer Show Investigating Missing PS5 Deliveries
@hi_drnick
I think they should and could be logged, just would take some effort
Re: BBC Consumer Show Investigating Missing PS5 Deliveries
@Boucho11
Feel sorry for these people, really do.
But if my phone was stolen I could get it barred, should be a thing for these high priced items too IMHO
Re: BBC Consumer Show Investigating Missing PS5 Deliveries
@lacerz
It’s called receiving stolen goods
Re: BBC Consumer Show Investigating Missing PS5 Deliveries
I don’t get this, the serial numbers should be logged, all stolen consoles can then be banned and made worthless by Sony surely?
Needs to happen

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite PS5 Launch Game?
Astro the most fun had with the console as a family
Dirt 5 the most rage inducing due to the fact after the last update the game is broken

Re: DIRT 5 (PS5) - Raucous Arcade Racer Looks and Plays Best on Next-Gen
@mikeym
Crashed 3 times last night, always at the end of a race 😭 tempted to play it offline.
PS5 uploads saves automatically, can’t find an option to stop it, then if it got corrupted again could download from the cloud manually... but no
Whats your gamertag Mikey? Will add you
Re: DIRT 5 (PS5) - Raucous Arcade Racer Looks and Plays Best on Next-Gen
PS5 just updated and my save for Dirt 5 got corrupted!
Not a happy bunny 😳

Create a Turkish PSN account, log in on the PS5, insert the disc and view the game on the store, it will then let you upgrade to the PS5 version... another 44gb if my memory serves me

It only takes 5 minutes to setup a Turkish account for it to work.
Not exactly “smart delivery” eh 🙄

It is bugged out and I have been playing the PS4 version on a PS5.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Guide: All Trophies, Collectibles, Tips, and Tricks

Re: DIRT 5 Patch 1.04 Available Now PS5 and PS4, Here Are the Patch Notes
IMHO the screen tearing in 60fps mode was awful on a Pro, so got shot of the game
Will maybe buy it again later at half the RRP if this is now fixed
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS4) - Epic Viking Adventure Buckled by Countless Bugs
Good review this, thanks.
Found the first couple of hours a chore, but now 7 hours in and enjoying it.
