[@richardmcmurray612]

I live in the uk and ordered the digital version as my PS4 is unplayable in regards to some games now with constant error messages ( I’m playing BloodBowl3 and I can’t finish a match without an error message coming up and the game shutting down) I assume it’s just the age of my PS4. So I’m upgrading to PS5. How easy is it to transfer information from PS4-PS5?

*The new separate vertical stand is not only optional meaning not needed for the PS5 Slim to stand vertically. It is also for use on the bigger original PS5.*

[@neusjmneus8553]

I got it last week and it's great, The good thing is the storage and the size the design is up to you if you like it or not but somethings I dont like is the lack of a vertical stand in which you can use it without it but its unstable, Also the horizontal stand is not that good is not like solid it moves a little bit, I got the spider man 2 bundle which comes with the game for free I got it for 500$ in the U.S, The disc thing you need to connect it to wifi only one time, I did it the first time i turned it on, So is not that bad but if you have friends who have disc games i will recommend the disc version from the beginning because if you get the digital one and then you get the disc it will cost you more.

It is indeed a bit louder. Other people doesn't have proof but I have, check "Mystic's" video, he showed that the slim is louder. Don't believe the people commenting, it is quieter than the Og. It's louder due to it's size, the Og/Phat have a bigger fan, heatsink and airflow thus circulating air more better. Bigger fan is always better since it doesn't need to work harder, it makes less noise unlike a smaller fan that needs to work harder thus providing more noise.

Hi

[@bettergaminghd4718]

It is so extremely sad that big bloggers did not get models of PS5 with a NMB fans to experience this penetrationg UFO, high pitch whining/howling sound that drives people crazy, Myself, many people that bought the console fron the same store as I did and also many people that I found on reddit. An utrasound that makes the head hurt. And there is like almost half of consoles with such NMB fan, but some people luck to get those quite ones, those people happen to be Big Bloggers! So this issue is not discuss and Sony keeps making PS5 with an insanely loud high pitch sound. Really it feels for me like it penetrate all in its way, even if the console is hidden behind the table and 5 meters away. I started to experience headache from it and could not concentrate to play, so I filed a refund, I hope it will come through.
