I didnt know about watching KZbin while playing. Thats a game-changer for walkthroughs or chilling out hard. Thanks for this video!

[@Arc69]

My 1 year old daughter was on my lap while I'm playing, I thought she liked watching me play , turns out she is more intrested in my controller, the mute button was on and the light was drawing her in. She pressed it and held it down and all while I'm playing not noticing. All of a sudden everything gets muted and I'm tripping out like what's going on. I looked down and see her finger. That's how I found out about the all mute feature 🤦‍♂️

[@seangreenwood6403]

Can I just say- thank you for making a great informational PS5 video with out cringey cut scenes with a high pitch voice augmentation at an attempt to be funny.

[@Ellerwind]

I knew a few things but learned a lot more. If there is more I’d be happy for a part 2

[@E-blaze-]

The controller battery life is actually really good. But always having a second one on standby is good too.

[@UNKNOWNB6]

I found the battery life to be poor even with everything turned off and the lights changed to dim, had to get another controller to swap now and then.

[@KNG-fm1kj]

Controller is complete cheeks with battery life. Takes me 5 minutes or less to recharge it everytime (meaning I can only use it for 5 minutes before recharge)

[@christopherduren9368]

Me to I got a three ps5 controller on standby when one go low battery I have one ready

[@collinf9334]

The controller battery is pretty bad

[@Ellerwind]

I have 3 😋. One to use, one for the second player (not often but handy) and one on charge. When I don’t have a second player I have 2 ready to go.

[@FoggyBadger]

I received a PS5 for Christmas, and I wish I'd seen this video sooner. Alot of these features I'd learned from just using the system, but there was a few useful things I learned. Biggest one was holding the PS button for a few seconds to go straight to the dashboard. I'm coming from the Switch, so it's a little jarring that it doesn't do that automatically. I've never once used that pop up menu. And yes, I'd love a sequel to this!

[@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070]

You've never used the pop up menu? I use it all the time to check the time, notifications, party, achievements etc.

I gotta ask did you notice any different playing a PS4 game on ps5

[@ianeons9278]

“Hey Siri what do you think of Alexa?” “Hey PlayStation what do you think of Xbox?”

[@neckminute3802]

There's also a feature where it randomly turns off one day and doesn't turn on again, only blinking with a blue light. Then you send it to PlayStation for repairs, and while they're "repairing" it, they ignore and ghost you for a month. Then, when they finally respond and return it, you get a busted and damaged ps5 instead of your original. Pretty cool feature, if you ask me

[@adler7384]

I just bought one last month and I love it to bits. I remember owning ps1.

[@12fishcake]

Great tips! It's really odd that the PS5 browser is so hidden, especially since they added the side-screen functionality. It's actually pretty useful, you can even watch KZbin on it whilst playing a game at the same time. It's very strange there's no way of launching it anywhere in the menus.

[@1chuck23]

Got one for my 39th birthday (omg I am getting old) and I am incredibly impressed with all the features! The ridiculously fast dying controller is less than impressive, but I usually stay wired up, and the graphics and fast loading on games (no Man's Sky is incredibly noticeable) I am quickly falling in love with this system.

A part 2 would be nice. So many little tricks. Some I knew and others I didn't. Quite useful actually. Thank you.

[@ArthurMrgan]

Can’t recall if he mentioned this, but did you know? Holding the power button on the console for two beeps will shut it off completely. I’ve had my PS5 for two years and was unaware of this. Useful for quickly turning off your PS5 in rest mode.

[@FearTheDuck09]

This was also a feature on PS4 and I think but unsure on the PS3 as well.

[@dankgames8324]

@@FearTheDuck09 on ps3 it was force shut down. not sure if youre supposed to use it often though

[@FearTheDuck09]

@@dankgames8324 pretty much 2 beeps on PS5/PS4 was forced shutdown. The only difference is they added sleep mode on the last 2 consoles (If only pressed once).

[@seligjuggalo9378]

Umm I learned this on ps3.. if you hold the power button for a few seconds it fully shuts down instead of going into rest mode. I figured this was common sense 🤷‍♂️.. the beeps you hear just tell you if ur shutting down or going into rest mode.. 1 beep to enter rest mode and 2 beeps for full power down.. but if ur saying I can fully shut my ps5 down while it’s in rest mode with out having to turn it on be fore shutting it down.. thats something I dident know

[@kornykev]

OMG thank you I was searching for the web browser and now you gave me the best possible way to get it. Definitely worth trying to create my own picture in picture by just logging into whatever streaming account I want.

[@Jayr0]

I only bought one like 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. The controller functions inc haptic feedback on the triggers, the new dash, graphics, loading speeds, memory, console noise reduction, customization, PSN with 1000s of games. Software updates that actually improve the system unlike eggsbox. The only negative is the storage being under 1TB.. you can buy additional built in storage but even a 4tb costs over $699 which I believe if the PS5 can handle? Then we should have 4tb as standard when bought. I'm aware it's all money making but all the memory is third partie hardware so it wouldn't even be Sony claiming the profit. So I believe 4tb should have just come as standard memory.

[@vascosacramento]

Unlike the PS4 that only offers your "Internal Storage" that if u want to upgrade you will have to replace said disk. PS5 comes with 825gb internal and you can ADD up to 4Tb (As of right now, as Gen 4 NVMe's are limited to that) For me thats vastly superior to PS4.

[@Jayr0]

Oh yeah I still think it's awesome and a massive step up to the PS4 . I love the console like my own child 😂 but like I said , 1TB is still a little too low considering my PS4 Pro had 1TB and the PS4 games were smaller in size. E.g. Hitman 3 . PS4 25.7GB . Ps5 61.9GB . The games data is trebled but the internal factory storage stays at 1tb? It should be 3tb

[@patrickodonnell6898]

Totally agree Jayro.. you're literally spot on. No idea what the guy above is even talking bout 🤣🤣🤣

[@shakesfirst2443]

Returnal, you can feel the rain.

[@RedRocket415]

You can pick up a 2TB SSD stick for about $160. Takes 5 minutes to install. Voila, 3 TB combined storage. Attach a USB external HDD cheap for games that don't need fast loading.

Don't disable those functions in the controller. Just buy a longer cable or a adapter. It's a great thing and when you turn it off you just get a regular controller like the PS4 has. You want a next gen feel

I thought everyone knew how to turn off their controllers easily, by holding down the PS button. This has been around since the launch of the PS3.

About storage, you forgot to mention that you can add ssd disks into your PS5 for more memory. 500GB, 1TB and 2 TB ssd disks are available. So stop deleting games to clear memory space and get a disk

Going to be getting one in the next month. Super excited

[@AlejandroLZuvic]

I've had my PS5 for a month now and I love it. I even like the UI which at first I was not sure about. Only thing I'd really like to have is a proper way of organizing the games in the home screen. Not the "keep in home wherever the systems decides option" neither the "organize in folders in the library needing to go to another tab to see them"... But actual folders and manual sorting in the home screen, you know, like the PS4.

[@FearTheDuck09]

The PS3 was great for handling all your games in a drop-down option. A much better-organized way than the PS5. Hell, they could've also introduced the PS4 folder system a little better on the home screen.

I bought mines on black Friday or 2022 and is still enjoying it.

One thing no one is saying witch effects gameplay. Is when the controller is muted it shuts off all adaptive trigger functions. In either mute or mute all. For instance, if you don't like the adaptive trigger function just mute the controller and you have a regular triger function, not adaptive.

Skill issue tbh

[@RabidDisposition]

They're just now starting to be widely in stock at retail price. I won't be surprised if the PS5 pro spends 2 years with insufficient supply and scalpers using AI to buy up all stock to resell it for twice as much, and by that time, the PS6 will be just 2 years away. Until companies find a way to combat scalpers and insufficient supply, gaming will continue to stagnate. Games aren't even truly next gen because most console games are still made with last gen in mind.

[@bradstepford3307]

Another thing most don’t know about the PS5 is the lack of Dolby vision and Atmos for gaming. Both are available on the competitors console and most all top game developers implement it in their games, Sony turns it off. It’s really mind boggling to not have the latest audio video formats/features from a company like Sony. It wasn’t to long ago that Sony was a top leader in the home theatre world, but with the PS5 they disable our hardware. Playing games like uncharted on the pc I get full in ceiling speaker support while on the ps5 they get disabled. That’s pretty sad to see as it was a Sony exclusive and as soon as it got ported to pc we get a much greater experience with full home theatre support. Sony needs to add Atmos and Dolby vision, HDR10 is pretty outdated already and so is standard surround sound without in ceiling audio. Both formats are 10/9 years old to date.
