I have a full 5.1 surround system through my AVR and the PS5 allows me to select home theatre as an option. Why would I change the option to TV just to calibrate 3D Audio without 5.1? That sounds counter-intuitive to Sony providing a 5.1 Surround option. Sony already said 3D audio is coming for home theatre at a later date.

Thanks. I see. Yeah, it’s definitely hard to beat a good 5.1 system. Once you hear it, it’s hard to listen to anything else imo.You can't use both at the same time on PS5. You must use your TV audio with the new 3D stuff OR your home theater. As of now, there is no virtual 3D audio for home theaters, but Sony said they will bring it in a later date.
I tried both, 3D is pretty cool, but 5.1 or higher is betterstill a very surprising feature, imo.

How the fuck do you customize the control bar? I searched everywhere and tried pressing the PS-button twice and shit.

Installed my Samsung 980 pro with made in China heat sink purchased from Amazon for 12.99.
then proceeded to install the space monsters on the SSD storage. Aka Warzone (104gb) and FF7 remake (80 GB) and Destiny 2 (74 GB) lmao

It doesn't need to, that's what the calibration is for, along with things like where you're sitting in relation to the TV. TV's don't report that level of information anyway.
I'm also using ARC and I can't think of any reason why the 3D calibration available when using the TV setting doesn't apply to this setup.

No Silksong? = Delivering the pain.
Tried the 3D audio with my soundbar. Sounds really good in Astrobot. Sounds muffled and weak in games that don’t natively support 3D audio. A bit of a hit and miss situation. I ended up turning it off for the time being because switching back and forth depending on the game will get old real fast.

The only update I wait is the possibility to remove the Playstation Hits band from covers
That's your punishment for not buying the game at full price when it was released.

VRR won't be coming until the HDMi alliance update the spec. I watched a Sony TV engineer getting interviewed about when the new 2021 TVs would get the VRR update and he stated 'Sony are just waiting on the HDMi alliance to finalise the spec and they are ready to go'.

Waiting for my heatsink, but I have gone with a Samsung 980, maybe the OS is being cautious in its appraisal, also wasn't there rumours that Samsung (maybe some other manufacturer) was replacing parts on their 980 chipsets that made them slower, because of the chip supply issues going on?My 1tb Samsung 980 also only gave me around 5.5 on the benchmark.

I hope that rather than the implementation of Folders like they had on PS4, which limited a game to being in one given Folder, they go with a more flexible tagging/pinning system. The Xbox OS handles this perfectly for me, I can categorise a game in multiple ways. For example a game I'm currently playing may be added to my 'On Deck' category which is pinned to the top for easy access and also my 'RPG' category.

No idea, I’ve dressed it with a heat sink already. But the drive is advertised as 7.0, so I can’t see them nerfing it if it’s part of the spec.
Edit: copied 104gig from internal in 1.09 minutes. How’s that fare?

This is what I don't understand, why Sony has to wait for the alliance while MS already has the tech working? Is it that MS didn't wait for the final specification and released the feature hoping/knowing it'll work anyway (probably the reason why it's not as smooth as Freesync)? I'd like to know the full story behind this. And speaking of Freesync - if the HDMI alliance is the showstopper, why can't Sony just implement FS in the meantime? They have AMD GPU, and many TVs that support VRR also support Freesync as well, so that could've been a good workaround/alternative.

Yep that's basically it, they did the exact same thing for hdr and ps4 the console was ready for it but they added it in an update once the specs have been finalised.That's how they operate, it may be part of their japanese way of thinking.

Well, I imagine it's because MS doesn't sell TVs. Sony probably doesn't want to come out and and say "PS5, fully take advantage of it with all TVs except our own"

Can't test on mine yet until I get the heat sink. That will be a testing the write speed of the Samsung, but I think that is ~1,507MB/s and the max write speed of the drive is advertised at 2,000 MB/s so not unreasonable I guess.
In real life terms I think 104GB in just over a minute is great, can't wait to be able to shift some PS5 games onto it.

Maybe, but also I think maybe because MS support Freesync and so do some TV manufactures, whereas Sony (and some other manufacturers) are sticking to the the HDMI 2.1 spec of how VRR should be implemented?

Yeah, it's exactly the same deal with TVs - how come every manufacturer out there has the feature except Sony? They're promising to patch their TVs since 2019 and two years later the results are nowhere to be found... It's actually one of the reasons I skipped Sony thsi time around in favor of LG when buying my latest TV set.

Sorry I didn't explain it well enough, because that's not what I meant.
In my setup, all my devices connect into the TV, and the magnetic fluid speakers 2.1 Soundbar/sub gets all the audio via the TVs ARC hdmi, so setting the PS5 to TV or soundbar doesn't change that all my audio comes out of my soundbar - I would have to make that change on the TV itself- so changing on the PS5 probably just changes the PS5 EQ settings for the intended output for me - and on a 5.1 it probably changes where the 5.1 mapping takes place - in the Ps5 or the receiver/AMP.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
would be incredible if they improve PSNOW allow stream AND download for all ps4/ps5 games available and PS1, PS2 as well.So they made new PS5, PS4, and PS3 (for PS Now games) labels to show on games in your library. Makes you wonder if there are PS1 and PS2 labels hidden in the firmware.
Or include extra 1-2 games (from PS1, PS2 library) on PS Plus every month.

gotta say I hope in addition to folders they also bring back the update history thing for games soon, that's one of the other things I miss most from the PS4
I like being able to quickly check on the console itself what the updates did even if all they put in the patch notes is improved performance

As I remember all PS2 games available included in PS Now (the original ones, not their remasters for PS3) are digital 'PS2 classics' that can be downloaded and played in PS4 and PS5. It would be nice to do the same with PS1 Classics, allowing you to download not buying again those you bought for PS3/PSP/PS Vita, since they also had crossbuy there.
There are some dozens of PS2 playable on PS4 and PS5. But I'd say they are labeled there as PS4 digital games (not sure, I don't have a PS4).So they made new PS5, PS4, and PS3 (for PS Now games) labels to show on games in your library. Makes you wonder if there are PS1 and PS2 labels hidden in the firmware.

Because they ARE PS4 games. They have trophies. They're just ports using an emulation wrapper and added trophies, so they're considered PS4 games and not PS2 games.

Awesome update. I probably won't have one for a few more years but I'm looking forward to the day when I pick one up. I'll hopefully be able to pick up all the exclusives at that Playstation hits price. I did this with ps3 and ps4 as well.

I heard those need a firmware update to unlock the full speed it can actually do.My 1tb Samsung 980 also only gave me around 5.5 on the benchmark.

The WD SN850 clocked at 6545 for me.
Found this. Hopefully a fix soon!

The hardest part about installing the M.2 was working out how the PS5 cover came off. Bloody thing.
Apart from that it was simple.
The WD SN850 I put in showed a read speed of 6560.

It's basically this a new spec is releasing so Sony would rather wait for that and then release the firmware rather than release one first and then have to release another after. This is Sony afterall and one engineer can only do so much lol.
Regarding FS I have no idea why Sony never joined it.
Sony are fucking retarded. Gaming company has the least gaming friendly TVs. You just can't make this shit up.

Try formatting it a few times to see if results are variable. Too late for me now as I’ve filled it.

And this is why this is a bad idea overall vs sony having and selling only certified drives and or the plug and play solution ms went with. The least they could do is publish a list guaranteed to work with thier system......

Well it works fine, just might not be reaching its own specified potential. I still prefer having a choice and the ability to throw this into a PC and get a bigger one when the prices continue to go down over having a proprietary solution. Maybe like you say, they could have the best of both worlds, provide a certified option, but still allow others that use the same open standard to still be used.

Yep this was one of my biggest gripes, it felt like a kick in the face when I pay full price for a game and they showed me the bargain basement artwork. It was a joy to see my whole library in its full glory.Apparently they updated them. No more red banners.

Yeah, seems Samsung 980 pro is a scam. Premium price for middling performance, stay away.
