Thanks, ok cool I will contact them, it is really bumming me out hearing it. once I tune into it it is impossible to ignore

My ps4 is still going strong and that was a day one. Just ordered a ps5 actually while we are here mFirst run boxes are always dodgy. Especially Sony’s. Don’t think I’ve ever had a Sony day one console last the generation.

same as, gave it to my brother as I got a pro on offerMy ps4 is still going strong and that was a day one. Just ordered a ps5 actually while we are here m
Both my ps1 and 2 also lasted the distance. Didn’t get PS3, as I got a 360 which I went through 3 of em!First run boxes are always dodgy. Especially Sony’s. Don’t think I’ve ever had a Sony day one console last the generation.
The day one ps3 lasted maybe 2 and half years. Was the worst I've bought.Both my ps1 and 2 also lasted the distance. Didn’t get PS3, as I got a 360 which I went through 3 of em!
The 360 didn’t fair much better!The day one ps3 lasted maybe 2 and half years. Was the worst I've bought.
Red ring of death wasn't it? The ps3 had an issue which you could solve by taking it to pieces and blasting a component with a heat gun. Might have even been the processor. I became an expert in disassembling and reassembling them. The fix never lasted long though.The 360 didn’t fair much better!
Yep one did that the other just died completely.Red ring of death wasn't it? The ps3 had an issue which you could solve by taking it to pieces and blasting a component with a heat gun.

Still have my ps1 but sold my others. Got 250 for my PS4 recently, a lot of games but well happy with the priceMy day one PS4 is still going strong now, still not a peep out of it. Before that I'd had to get a warranty replacement for the PS3 and replace the PS2 with the thinner one after a few years, but the PS1 somehow went the distance thanks to the 'hold it upside down' trick to read discs
It sounds horrible. I'd have done the same thing.Sent My PS5 back for repair/replace. Bit pissed off but wanted it sorted. The noise was getting worse. Sony support said it was a known issue.
Sounds like the culprit is a dodgy batch of capacitors that are humming and vibrating at weird frequencies.
I would best describe the noise like someone using an electric razor, it fluctuates depending on how hard the graphics/action is pushing the GPU. dies back down in menus but is constantly there. did my head in.
sent it back last Thursday so will report back how long it takes and if it is actually fixed
Do you all plan on getting the most from the technology by purchasing a 144hz monitor?
Got a 4K TV and brought a decent hdmi which made a world of difference but that’s about it for meDo you all plan on getting the most from the technology by purchasing a 144hz monitor?
Swap the hdmi from the original cable they give you, much better performanceNah I'm not all that driven by that side of things. will get an 8k tv next upgrade but that is way off and not a priority. My main motivation for getting a PS5 was faster loading time and (Ironically) quieter console noise.
was really happy with the actual experience of it all just ruined by the racket it was making. jumping into multiplayer lobbies from the dash is a great Idea.
also worth adding I was sceptical of the Dual Sense's tech, felt it might be another Sony underused misstep like Six-axis but it is genuinely great. felt really odd not having the feedback on the triggers going back to PS4.
Was waiting on smyths this morning to get one, all the way through to putting bank details in, placed order and got an error. About the 3rd time this has happened now. Not worth the hassle anymore, will wait til can buy in store
The pandemic has had a big impact on the component market tbf. Plus with no ability to go out I'm sure demand will be even bigger than they could have anticipated.It's crazy that 6 months after release it is still a battle to get one of these consoles. I was lucky enough to get one early December and didn't realise people were still fighting over them every time a small batch was released. Truly a monumental fuck up in supply by Sony.
That's a game I'm looking forward to playing. Never got round to it on ps4 but from what I've read that's a good thing with all the improvements they've made since launch, plus now the improved FPS to boot. Got mine Wednesday, getting used to the new UI. Lovely having no noise!Framerate has never been something that's bothered me but having last played Days Gone on PS4 I've found it runs in 60fps on PS5. It still looked great before but it's bizarre how different it suddenly looks. Means I'll shit it from a horde that much smoothly now

What a game that was. still remember absolutely shitting it when I bumped into my first hoarde in a cave! Never thought I could wipe them out but did Later in the game. Did they do any expansion of the game?Framerate has never been something that's bothered me but having last played Days Gone on PS4 I've found it runs in 60fps on PS5.
