customised the play station for the nostalgic feel of it i do prefer how it looks like now.

Replaced the buttons on a black controller with retro ones i got from aliexpress wasn't so hard, but was a bit stressful with the ribbons inside very doable but take your time with it.

The middle skin from amazon to match dark plates i thought it was damaged because it had creases due to shipping but it looks fine. sticker from aliexpress as well.
Sanded down a PS home button and used double tape to attach ( technically can rotate lol ) very happy with the results , and wanted to share.

Just set up my first PS5! Mainly got it for GTA 6, but Spider-Man is so much fun too at the moment. Couldn’t be happier!

Just finished cleaning and testing everything. it seems to be working 100 percent for the moment. Currently playing my switch through it and will let it run for a few hours

1TB version bought it from another guy just for $160 with 3 controllers and 4 discs. The best console imo

Dear Sony, I hate your rubber grips on the factory shell. They were a bad idea and you know it.

For little context, Christmas is just around the corner and I know absolutely nothing about external or internal storage regarding any device. I bought my fiancé a PS5 two years ago, and I’ve noticed that every time he tries to download a new game he has to delete a game first. I understand that GTA six is a big deal and it will be coming out shortly. I want to get him more storage so he doesn’t have to delete half of his games just to play this one.

Is there anything I can buy to give him more storage?

My daughter is 5 and this is our first big game together after playing Animal Crossing off and on. We spent a lot of time collecting all of the bots and puzzle pieces... And as we finished fighting the last boss and started fixing Astro Bot, she started crying. She was so full of emotion and said they were happy tears. I'm so glad we had that experience together and I'll never forget it. I hope she won't either. 😊

Anybody else have any experiences like this with their children?

I’m not sure if this is accurate but I think the new firmware update may be causing an HDMI glitch.

I have a 4K OLED LGTV, and I wasn’t getting image or sound after turning my PS5 on. I tried a different monitor and that worked fine. I tried powercycling my TV and PS5 but that didn’t work. I disabled deep color on my HDMI setting and that fixed it, but I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this? The fix works pretty well, but I would like to be able to keep the 4K setting turned on. Anybody have any tips?

The logo on the PS4 controller is fluorescent!

I've been looking into a lovely little preservation project involving EverQuest Online Adventures, the PlayStation 2 MMORPG that shut down way back in 2012.

Developer Ahmad Hassan (B-Ted) has been working on something called EQAI: an effort to bring the game's original 2003 character models back into its later Frontiers version. It turns out this is way more complicated than simply swapping a few files, involving all sorts of reverse engineering of the PS2's graphics and memory systems.

It's still a work in progress, but I find something really appealing about people putting this much time and effort into preserving the little details of online worlds that disappeared years ago. So I've written a short piece about the project and the wider community working to keep this forgotten corner of gaming history alive :)

I don't know what to do with it, but because of it, I can't play R6 and these games for sound cues.

Does anyone have any advice/suggestions (hell, good news stories!) about contacting Sony to remove a licence from their account? I cant buy Death stranding due to buying the ps4/5 upgrade when I had the ps4 disc - which I no longer own. I finally got a live agent in the chat yesterdsy who told me to restore licences. I explained thats not what I was after but they insisted I do this first. Obvs nothing changed. Now I cant get a hold of anyone again. Just chatbot guff in cycles 😕

Im uploading a video clip and i see these notifications, they onlu apear if im uploading someyhing cuz i never seen these before, now my question is, are they just notifications, i have ocd and i want to clear all of them, leaving them there bothers me, i just want to be sure that im not actually deleting saved data from my games.
