The only feature i want is to be able to set up my own wallpaper or theme...

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 🤦‍♂️

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!

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

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.

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

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

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 YouTube 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.

Only 6 months in with the PS5 but I’m loving it. One of the best consoles made ever

3:25 I had no idea about web browser Idea. Looking forward to trying it out once I get back home 😂

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.

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

[tomfield]

Just got mine a couple days ago! Cheers for the video, I love the channel! 😁

[Rockhead]

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

[ViralKat]

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

[shotaholic]

I knew a good amount of these, but yet still managed to learn some new ones.
thanks, Adam! great video as usual.

PART 2…PART2…PART2…

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.
