@Jrs1 Same here. Also, I've lowered it to the dim setting because it's way too bright on standard for me. I added red light strips on my OG that dimmed it out nicely without settings, plus some Dbrand Darkplates 2.0 long before Sony introduced their own black cover plates. I'm not very happy that Sony have made the Slim cover plates incompatible, I need black! I'll wait it out this time.
@DragonSlayer1759 Argos. It wasn't the best experience though. They keep you completely in the dark as to what to expect. No updates, nothing. Then yesterday I got a text with a tracking number and DPD delivered it at 12.30.
@JohntheRaptor Mine must have worked. I just got a PS app notification that says "Data transfer from PS5. Transfer completed." as I eat fish and chips in town.
I knew I should have put the white plates back on my slim a couple of months ago. This is going to draw attention. I told the missus we couldn't afford a holiday.
Stupid PS Stars ain't working. Uninstalled and reinstalled it to try to get it working, but it's broken.
Downloaded a monthly game and started it up, played it for a bit. Did I get my 50 points? Did I heck. I also tried three different games to get some Roll Player's Guild Card digital collectable trash. Did it work? Did it heck.
What a waste of time.
Edit: Achievements came through 5 hours later. 🤷♂️
Happy 500! I'm 30 hours into Spiderman 2 and only a couple more to go to achieve the Platinum. I think I might start another playthrough on Spiderman Remastered afterwards for the final two trophies I need, One More Time and Power and Responsibility. That will then be all three PS5 Spiderman games + DLC at 100% (for now). It's been a busy Spiderman month for me! Have a great weekend y'all!
You can now muste or adjust the volume of the PS5's beep sound when turning it on or off or putting it in rest mode. Go to Settings > System > Beep Sound.
I'm looking forward to YouTuber The Professional's rant about this. I love his Rockstar rants. Like others, I will also wait until the game is £20 or less. More like a tenner, actually.
Want a Dark Horse Clicker statue shipped to the UK? That'll cost you £300 all in including shipping and taxes. Not to mention the inevitable delays and the hope that it arrives in one piece. They'll then produce a smaller and available everywhere 8" version for £70. Yeah, burn me twice (Joel and Abby)... 🤣
I won't be playing any of them. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was my last pre-order. I no longer pay attention to review scores either. I cancelled my pre-order for Final Fantasy. Ask me again in a year or two...
@grapetrap It's the same as the day I installed it. I'm still playing it though. I was going to give up and start Dead Island 2 instead, but I'm persevering because it's a good game. The issues with it are a real shame.
@grapetrap Just remembered, I did have one crash while playing Fallen Order. I had more trouble getting lost and finding my last crate than anything else. Cal's poncho may have been blowing in the wind on the Mantis, but I didn't notice! The audio was ok-ish. I know that I thoroughly enjoyed the game and it looked better than Survivor. I'm really disappointed with the performance of this game and I'm even more disappointed with the reviews, including PushSquare's. 9/10. What a joke.
@grapetrap I started Fallen Order PS5 a couple of weeks ago and got the Platinum. There were a few stutters here and there, but nothing major. The only real issue I remember was foliage coming through one of the lifts a couple of times, other than that, it ran wonderfully for 50 hours. Nothing like the issues I'm experiencing with Survivor. Since the patch today I've played 4 hours of Survivor and it's exactly the same as before on performance mode. I didn't try quality because I can't stomach 30 fps on an OLED.
I can't figure out how some people don't notice the issues that this game has. I can see all the problems with it that others have mentioned.
I'm looking forward to the 'What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?' poll.
@tallythwack That's what I did originally, but you only have to adjust the last black calibration. I have LG OLED on HGIG. First calibration just past barely visible so that the image disappears, same for second and the third black one needs to be barely visible.
I got the Fallen Order Platinum yesterday so I'll see how far I can get with Survivor now that I've sorted the HDR out. Hopefully the frame rate issues won't annoy me too much...
The Game Collection despatched Survivor yesterday and I received my copy 11am this morning. Installed it, but I haven't had time to play it yet. There's no patch 1.01 or 1.02 on Sony's servers as this article suggests. I'll try again tomorrow.
I still can't believe it. He was my favourite character in Horizon. Watch him in anything and you could tell he was something special. Sometimes, you don't fully realise what you've got until it has gone. Another that has left us too soon, but he left us all some joy and happiness, with more to come. RIP, Lance.
@Wheatly A week of boost for 7 days too. I have 4 episodes left to go. I haven't been that impressed with the show and the 1080p doesn't help. When I watch it, I find myself wanting to play the game instead. I agree, the app is poor. Even subtitles don't work. I'll be glad to say goodbye to NOW.

Sure thing. The first space shuttle, Enterprise, had no engines or heat shield.
