Apparently the PS5 M2 SSD slot will be unlocked this summer in a firmware update. It's said that the update will also adjust the cooling fan performance to as a measure to protect the SSD slot from heat.

@bam541 took them long enough

My PS5 and TV (Samsung Q60R) have a weird relationship and I’m not sure if it’s the PS5 or TV or a combo of both. A lot of the time when I use Rest Mode, it goes into the ‘Repair’ state where you get the message ”your PS5 wasn’t turned off properly. Before unplugging the AC power cord...”
It never breaks anything but it’s strange. Some other things I’ve been observing is:
-
Sometimes (but not always) when I turn off my PS5 the display goes full green for a few seconds before returning to my Default TV HDMI source screen.
-
Sometimes when I switch from, say, Amazon Prime Video or another app, to my HDMI source for PS5, the act of switching to that source turns the console on. This happens if the PS5 is in rest or entirely powered off.
Has anyone else experienced this? I’m worried something is fucked up with the system cause my PS4, PS3, nor Switch do this on any of the various HDMI ports.

There is a setting in System/HDMI called Enable HDMI Device Link that let's your TV turn off and on your PS5. I turned that off because I also found it super annoying.
I don't know about the green screen or repair state issues though. Maybe someone else does.

There's no reliable source but there's speculation for a slim PS5 for 2023.
-
PS5 will obviously have another version like a PS5 slim. but they're struggling to even make normal PS5's in the first place lol
-
I thiiiiink that fixed the issues!
My PS5 has been in rest mode safe and sound for a few hours now. I think my TV turning off and on, regardless of HDMI port, was somehow effectively “pulling the power cord” from the PS5.

Wreckfest is good fun, I've played that at my brother's.
-
Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but my PS5 is constantly crashing in Rest Mode. Basically, Rest Mode will always lead to a "repair" state when I boot it up next time. At first I thought it was because of the HDMI Device Link problem, but it's still happening.
It seems like the ONLY solution I can find online is to Repair Database from Safe Mode, then turn off Rest Mode in the settings immediately. This seems like a major flaw. I'm not sure if sending my PS5 back to Sony for a replacement will do anything considering the sheer amount of people online who also have this issue.
Has anyone been able to resolve it?

Days of Play sale is LIVE:
https://blog.playstation.com/2021/05/25/days-of-play-comes-to-playstation-store-2/
Right now you can get base Yakuza: Like A Dragon for -30% ($55.99 CAD) on PS5 so I will have to bite. I never finished it on PC due to my ass hurting sitting at my desk all day.
-
Seems like all the Yakuza games is on sale, which is very tempting, but I settled for Carto instead. Hopefully it's good!
-
@bam541
Buy the Yakuza games
-
@dmcmaster I'm thinking about getting at least Kiwami 1 before the sale ends
-
@bam541 If you haven't played any of them, I recommend starting with Zero. First in the series chronologically, and gives certain characters from 1 a lot of development, where if you were to just start off with 1 those same characters will pull a lot of "JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, EH KAZUMA?" shit.
-
@el-shmiablo I finished 0 last year, I liked it but it definitely got a bunch of things that I wished were better. I just want to see more of the story, it's definitely my main reason for playing these games (other than exploring and vibing in the small city areas).
-
@dipset can i get cheap discounted 12 months of PS Plus?
If not then meh.
-
Not that I’m aware of but you can get PS+ from here which is -40 to -50% off depending on when you go. I’ve been using this site for a bit now. Sometimes you get a bonus 3 months with your key too.
-
@dipset i've got ps plus atm but it will run out in a few months.
i only buy it when it's cheap during things like state of play sales.
not paying full price just to play online. not when they charge so much anyway.
-
@yoshi 6 bucks a month for online, 3 free games, and discounts doesn't seem all that much to me.
Don't you spend $200 a month on games?
-
or i could NOT pay $80 like a chump and get $20 off instead.
