Might be a dumb question but I can't find the answer anywhere. On the psn store on ps5, where do you find deals / sales?!

Everything is hooked up. Demon's Souls is downloaded. Just waiting for my wife to get home from work because I can't play while watching a 16 month old. I have really been out of the loop with things. I had no idea games cost $69.99 now for the base version. Hot damn. I thought the influx of indie games in recent years was going to drive that price down.Other than that, my PS Camera doesn't connect (different plug), but I found a webpage where you can put in your serial number and request a new one:https://global.support.playstation.com/s/pscamera-adaptorProbably old news, but worth knowing about I suppose. New OS will take some getting used to, but it's very snappy and it doesn't feel like I'm launching an app everytime I view my trophies or visit the store; everything more or less pops up right away.Other cool thing is that I have two PS4s in my house, and if I'm understanding correctly, I can use those as streaming points to play my PS5 in other rooms.

The souls games are great.

So it turns out there's this internet-wide easter-egg hunt going on in Demon's Souls Remake that was solved just last night that was an homage to a recently-passed game dev.

In world 1-3, there's this hidden door behind an illusory wall that's locked. Nobody knew how to open it, but if you went into photo-mode near it, you could see that there was an item on a corpse just behind it.

So, through the internet's insane resources, they discovered that in order to open the door, you needed to:

1 - Complete the game once

2 - Start up NG+ and change the mode to 'fractured' mode (this game's mirror mode)

3 - Get your world tendency to pure white (Beat all the bosses without dying in human form or defeat invaders) or Pure black (Die a lot while in human form or invade other players)

4 - While in either pure black or pure white, explore every nook and cranny to find an item that only exists in NG+ Fractured mode called a ceramic coin.

5 - Find all ceramic coins (so far 11 have been found, some only in pure white, some only in pure black)

6 - Collect 26 of them total, which needs to be accomplished by repeating NG+ cycles. 26 is presumably the age of the deceased (Unsure) These are the only items in the game that cannot be traded or duplicated with a glitch (They break as soon as they are tossed, as they are ceramic)

7 - Trade all 26 of these coins to a hidden NPC crow for shinies in exchange for a key to that door.

8 - Once the door is opened with the key, the item is a full set of Penetrator armor, the armour of a boss in the game, allowing you to essentially play as that boss.

All of this had the community up in a fuss all week, and it's one of the most fun things I've observed in the gaming landscape. This was also not in the original 2009 game.

The obscure nature of the souls series and this easter egg stuff is just so cool. To this day I'm sure there are places in Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, and Bloodborne I've not explored, and that's one of the many things that keeps me coming back.

This looks like those fake "how to fight SheiLong" in SF II. How laborous to get it.

I've stumbled across the sales page yesterday and I can't remember how lol. The store needs work for sure,



This is interesting for 1440P users - https://screenrant.com/ps5-1400p-monitor-works-support-4k-supersampling/

My PS5 is still stuck at 1080P output on my 1440P Ultrawide monitor but it does seem to be supersampling from 4K. It definitely looks clearer than 1080P running from PS4 (and surprisingly so). Its not quite as crisp as native 1440P but hell this is kinda impressive to see.

Hoping they patch it native support sooner rather than later.

I actually saw someone else ask the same question. So that may be an issue right now where that section is hidden or something.

Yes when you scroll down while navigating in the store there's a "featured" banner that will have deals such as the Black Friday sales. The problem is that featured banner constantly changes with other "Discovery" banners and you can't cycle through or change them. I had to keep going in and out of the store to keep refreshing the banner so I could click on the sale. I hope this gets fixed soon.

It seems like they've made it really difficult to find the sales. It's bizarre as the app is so much easier to use and still has it like the old store where deals has its own section.

Looks like we'll be seeing lots of updates over the next few months. 

I was looking at Gameplay time and thought it would be so nice if they allowed to organise it in length order.



It's now confirmed that PS5 will get support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) in a future update (link).

This is great news as more and more new TV's will support VRR and so screen tearing and stutters will be a thing of the past.

I believe in you, but it is really cumbersome.

Might be good to avoid launch models yet again. One would think Sony would have tested temperatures and cooling more. Just see one article about it so not sure if real or could be potential issue in future or upcoming summer months in hot climates.
