Received mine. Just wondering if everyone’s makes a loud fan noise when it first launches or does something for the first time, it doesn’t last long and then goes quiet.

 

I also noticed that the always on hdr seems a bit dim. Anyone else?

First impressions (without having played a game but messed around with the OS for a bit):

 

- I dislike the console design even more in person. It's a bulky, inelegant thing I'm glad I can hide away. 

 

- The OS is really slick and does make the Xbox OS look and feel a bit dated actually. But it's the difference between an old but mature and fully functional OS and a new, shiny OS that needs a lot of refinement. The Xbox dash is just way more customisable in terms of how you can have your games, apps, settings and content presented to you. On this PS5 dash you can't seem to reorder anything or put things in folders/groups or get rid of icons on the game bar you don't want. You can customise the pop up guide a little but again not reorder the options. Basically it needs more updates to actually make the basic functionality as pleasing as the speed and appearance.  

 

Gonna try Playroom now and see what this new-fangled controller is like.

Yeah I was a bit worried about the fan noise when it started installing Demon's Souls but it quickly quietened down.

Completely randomly, I managed to snag one from Very earlier on. Didn't plan on it - just happened to be on the site when they popped up so I ordered it on a whim. 

 

Turns out my mate has been trying to get hold of one for his son for Christmas, so I'm giving it to him. I'm in no rush - I'll wait for a slim/all black version so at least it's going to someone who wants one.

Preparation tip: install the PS App on your phone and you can log in on the PS5 through a QR-code scan.

 

Data transfer is rather painless. :)

 

Do you have to data transfer everything or can you pick and choose?

You can choose. There's a "the lot" option or "custom" choice in the setup flow. Also, transferring PS4 data will start only after updating console, controllers, and privacy settings, so hang in there.

Few teething problems.

Copied Apex to Ps5 and my save game also.

Downloaded a 40gig patch which will not install at all.

I have deleted it and I’m downloading fresh from the store hoping it’s already patched.

 

another strange thing.

External storage connected.

Goto game library and press options on a game, no option to check for updates.

Run the game and it puts the game in you main taskbar or as you would say “Home Screen” you can now check for updates with the options button.

No way of getting cloud saves to download other than going into the back end of the console.

The cloud saves would download on a game by game basis but refuse to download as a complete library when using select all.

Playing PS4 games off an external HDD... Been in rest mode and out with no issues.

 

If I put my ear to the system I might be able to hear a low buzzing. Fan is generally quiet, wouldn't call it silent but it is very quiet. Certainly not the jet engine it replaced! 

 

So far very happy :)
