And I still don't have a ps4 or 5 ...but I got games lol

I have had the console since the day it was released and up until then I had the well-known problem of LAN disconnection/reconnection. It has already happened to me several times, completely randomly. The cable is a gold-plated Cat8, which I used before on a TV and I still use a second one of the same model on my PC, and I have never encountered any connection problems on these devices.

Today I decided to do some tests after watching a video on Youtube:

• invert the PC cable with the PS5 Pro cable;
• manually set DNS 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4;
• set MTU to 1472.

Since then I have not had any further disconnections but it could be a coincidence.. I will keep the post updated, let me know if you have found other solutions.

So, I wanna get Crew motorfest. It's 21$ right now until Dec 3. However I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a cyber monday deal right after, right? So I'm wondering.. what are the chances of motorfest having a 2nd, better deal?

I lost my original cord for my ps5 and wanted to know if this cord will work or if it will damage the ps5

Any thoughts of where to buy a PS2 for a Christmas gift that is not crazy overpriced? Trying to avoid DKOldies and my local shop is sold out.

Hey all, my edge has this problem with the joystick modules where the button thinks it is pressed in but it's not. I tried to clean the module and it worked for a bit but then the button got pressed again. I want to replace it but can't seem to find the modules for RRP anywhere.

I'm in Australia. Anyone have tips on how I can buy some..? Or any other advice?

I’m not a gamer. Last console I had was a SNES 🙈 so please go easy.

I have bought my girlfriend a PlayStation 5 - slim/digital only bundle that comes with Fortnight.

She currently uses a PlayStation 4, has mainly digital downloads but has the disc of Fortnight, FC24 and something else to do with war that I can’t remember.

I intend to buy a gift card so she can get FC25.

But I hadn’t thought about the fact you can’t buy used games (CEX and the like). And would she be able to play her downloaded PS4 games on the 5? Sorry if that sounds stupid.

From what I can gather I’d need to get an external disc drive - is the only one that works the official PlayStation one? Or can non branded ones be used?

Basically trying to decide if I need to return it and come up with something else.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’ve had auto downloads turned off ever since I bought this console and it just flat out doesn’t work. Every time I turn on my console it tries to download every update to everything on the system and it’s really annoying. I tried getting a refund on a game but because I forgot my ps plus comes with a ps5 version of GTAV but because it auto downloaded 1/97 GB while I was in the bathroom they denied it after waiting 50 minutes. I could understand their policy if I actually downloaded the full game but when he checked it said I had already downloaded and played but I talked with an agent about CIV VI after buying and downloading the whole game not realizing the servers weren’t the greatest and I couldn’t play with my friend. They need to either update the system so that auto updates actually works when turned off or update the policy so if something like this happens again without your control you could actually get a refund.

I recently bought my first PlayStation (PS5) and I made two separate PS accounts. One of them has PlayStation plus and the other has the games that I ordered before I even got the PS5(regret). When using the account with PS Plus it won’t let me access the games on my other account (black ops 6 to be specific) Is there a way I can somehow play those games on my account with PS Plus?

I heard that for the ps4 sony released an update that fixed the cmos battery issue,I.e even if it dies you can still play your digital games no problem.I know that they never fixed it for the ps3 but I am wondering if they did it for the ps5.

This small 5000mah charger was on sale and bought it hoping it would allow me to play without being tethered to a cable and I’m happy to say it worked!

Which one y'all prefer usa version or asia version

still waiting on last of us pt 1 remastered to complete the whole haul. everything was so cheap I couldn't resist.

I’m in the UK and even the stores don’t have them in stock the only place is eBay It’s mad how much sellers are charging for the stick modules

What is the best way to go about cleaning it. I have had it for roughly 3 years and its pretty dusty, however it still works just fine. I am not very confident in my abilities, so how easy would you say it is to do. I have thought about going somewhere to clean it but I am worried about the price. However if anyone knows good places to take in in eastern Massachusetts I’d appreciate it.

I bought the black friday upgrade for ps+ from esensial to premium bout 2 week ago for 30€.I had about 220 days left on it. But now when I play it says i have only the esensial and not premium. Is there anything I can do to this? On the ps app it says that I still have premium. My dad also moved to a new place this week and I'am using hotspot to get WiFi on my ps5. But before I left my moms house today I still had premium. So is it about the internet or is it a glitch or is sony just a greedy company to only give me ps+ premium for 2 weeks?

Sam's club has them 20 bucks off right now, also their Sony headset is also marked down 59 49.41! Lowkey might pick up th headset on payday!!!

So i’ve been without internet for the past 2 months due to hurricane Helene and i have 3 games to play on PS5.Is there anyway to install more offline games from my library without internet?

I just purchased a PS5 PRO and am a bit confused so I thought someone here could shed some light on the expansion drive.

I had an OG PS5 with a 4TB USB 3 drive and I know the USB drive is basically useless for running PS4 games from it no that there is the “PS5 Pro Enhanced” option.

I am looking at the Samsung 990 Pro w/heatsink 4TB for $303 on Amazon, but my questions are,

1: Will the 990 Pro run PS5 & PS4 games as well as Pro Enhanced?

2: Are there less expensive options for a 4TB that will basically do the exact same thing? I see WD, HP, Silicone Power, Lexar, Corsair, Kingston, etc. etc.

Hey guys, got a ps5 pro during launch and I just noticed the metal brackets opposite to the disk drive I installed seem to be pushed outwards.

The ps5 hasn’t been a victim of trauma as far as I know. Does anybody know if this is a factory problem or if they’re just like that?

Hi, ive been unable to use my ps5 for months due to it not connecting to my TV. My TV is a series 7 65 inch Samsung smart TV I've tried multiple HDMI ports and cords. My Nintendo switch and ps4 work on my TV but my ps5 seems to have crazy issues. It's worked on this same TV before so I don't understand it's sudden refusal to work? The ps5 has always been stored upright and has never been dropped etc. It's ports don't feel loose at all and it's not dusty.

Seriously spending 20$ for a single stick module and they can't even be bothered to sell them? Absolute scam paying 200$ for a controller meant to have replaceable stick modules but not sell em. Any third party companies making comapaitable modules for the dualsense edge?

My ps5 often refuses to connect to my wifi after starting. It only lets me connect after a few restarts. Sometimes it works like nothings wrong. Can somebody help?
