30fps would be manageable if the frame pacing was rock solid, but it's all over the place...making it a nightmare to play... please give us a locked 60fps with proper frame pacing.

Woohoo....great month🙂

Essential for me, had Premium for a bit, but was not using it enough to justify the price...these days I just buy games when they are on sale...

@ZeroSum
You'd be surprised at how much easier games are when running at 60fps with consistent frame pacing.
Hopefully they patch it.

It would be great to have access to all the games we bought on Ps store for the PS3.
Sort it out Sony.
Even via streaming, we should have access to these on any level of subscription.

What a complete *****!

What...a Chinese company rips off Western IP...that is new
Only messing....they rip off everything...I wouldn't mind if the copied items were better than the original...but usually it's not the case.

Bad company 2 mixed up with BF4 as mentioned by others...that would be great

Any chance of a Euro price drop or information?

Don't have it yet in Ireland.
Would prefer the option to have an overall colour theme chooser - the dark grey is truly awful.
Would also prefer to have the PS4 version of folders.

Rubbish clone of Splatoon with heavy monetisation...pass

Great game, still give it a go now and then....

Give us real folders and theme colours....how hard can it be?

Amy idea if Sony Direct will ever come to Ireland?

Where are the Original disk drive versions?
Thanks for looking after us Sony....

Bye bye Herman baby.

@Bizzy thanks, I may give it a shot

Sony seem to be determined to screw up in their home market....are the executive team stupid, incompetent or both....

@sanderson72 yeah it seems like 1 step forward but 1/2 a step back with the PS5.
We should not be losing functionality as we go to a new generation of console...the PS5 has been the worst offender on this.

@BiosNova it will struggle on until the PS6

@get2sammyb
Thanks for the excellent guide.
This looks great, perhaps the UI for the PS6 can take some pointers from this.

@BiosNova
It connects after a few minutes, but is a pain in the ass.... everything else in the house connects instantly...so my network is fine...

Can we have a Euro price added to the poll?
It's absolutely nuts to pay €950 for a console, stand and Blu-ray drive.

Please can we have:

• real folders
• ability to select a colour theme for the UI background, start up screen, settings screens
• ability to change the font colour of the UI
• working background game updates
• a fix for the ***** network card that takes an eternity to connect to the internet

Way too expensive for the gains it offers, plus the lack of a physical disc version and stand is a real let down.
Surprised Cerny agreed to do the video when he knew the pricing would be shown at the end.

I wonder if they are testing the waters with this for the PS6...Sony could be thinking of dropping discs altogether and charging a high price...

Looks great....wish it wasn't a rogue-like

Not surprising...it's no Splatoon

Sony should have a new genre on the store: shovelware.
All this crap can be placed there and tagged anywhere else in the store with the shovelware tag.

The first game was fantastic... can't wait for the new one.

Any chance Sony will crack PS3 emulation on the PS5 and let us download all the digital games we bought on the PS3?

No sign of proper folders yet... something we had on the PS4...

Looks good...though searches for it on the PS App draw a blank

Arrrgggghhhh....my backlog...

Great trailer...very funny Northern Ireland sense of humour on display

Looks great...nice to see that they changed it up

Dropped down to essential last year as I didn't have time to play games before they left the service.
Much happier now, as I just buy the games I want in sales.

Mad Ted, deliberate input lag in an action game to keep animations in sync...WTF...knew it felt dodgy in the demo...

@MrHabushi
Yeah, all my other devices connect instantly and don't drop the connection.
It's a known bug with the network drivers on the PS5...just wish they would patch it...

They still haven't fixed the network connection issues, it takes ages to connect to PSN and that's with 1GB broadband.
Also themes and folders would be nice.
Game lists are rubbish as a game can be in several lists....
Sony, how about for the PS6 you don't take away existing functionality like you did with the PS5...a novel idea...eh?

Went back to the essential level and just added the games I wanted to play to my wishlist, now I grab them in various sales. Much better situation as I choose what to buy and play.
Many of the games are very cheap to own this way.

@Angelus3K

Yeah, I can't find an option to invert the y axis...game breaker for me until they fix it

About bloomin time...at last we get some functionality that should have been there from the start...we should not be losing simple user friendly functions when we shell out for the latest console... hopefully they can fix the rest of the mess that is the PS5 UI

Fix the game save synch for PS5 games.
Compared to the PS4 process, the PS5 one is just awful.

@VatoLoco47
Exactly...how hard can it be?
The current lists are rubbish...one can't tell if a game is already in a list or not...

Gameplay looks good

@BAMozzy
I'm moving down to the basic subscription.
I like to own my games and there's less pressure to complete a game before it goes off the subscription.

The PS5 UI is a masterpiece in terrible design, it actively pushes users to use features that the corporation wants high usage on, to justify the flawed design itself.
Most users just want to be able to play a game with no fuss, exit a game with no fuss & have a way of organising their game library that suits them.
This was all present on the last console, so we have taken a giant leap backwards with regard to the interface.
Sony really are treating their loyal customers like dirt.

Dropped from Premium to Extra recently...will probably go to Essential... realised I actually prefer to own my games rather than just rent them...

Jaysus....it only took them 2 years...slow down Sony....
