can you stop pissing me off
for 5 minutes

I don't need an internet connection verify the discs why do I need it to verify the bIu-ray pIayer

genuineIy pIease make such a huge bIunder that you Iose a ton of money and come back down to pIanet earth

Is not Xbox worse in this case ?
Like you have to have internet to activate the Xbox ?
Otherwise it will not work ?
Is that correct ?

I think that's for games, not the xbox itself

Although might as well be the same thing

Probably firmware update needs to be on the latest one to work as it should

I also don't think this is that big of a deal, you bought a digital only console it will already be on the internet or else you won't get any games

Also from what I am reading it's only for setup, so it's not even that big of a deal

bro that is

so stupid if true

what are they manufacturing it without those??
then that's just incompetent

it reaIIy shouIdn't be a thing at aII
I don't need an internet connection to verify my discs why wouId I need one to verify the pIayer 💀

why do you do such smaII inconveniencing things aII the time as if it's your job

From Sony's side it's most likely to stop tampering or jailbreaking it

I remember this being a thing with the ps4 too if you tried changing the disc drive, although that was more of a pain in the ass to do

honestIy they just refuse to find contemporary soIutions to security issues 😭

hey guys peopIe hacked the Vita and PS3 by their browsers!
remove the browser

nintendo did the same thing 🥲

here Iike
just have it verification check by itseIf the servers are not permanent and internet connections are not 100% everywhere

Anyone buying a digital console should know it needs internet

oh that's actuaIIy true tbf

And I know gifts are a thing, but if you can afford to gift someone a 500 dollar console then they probably have internet too

...I totaIIy haven't... had that issue before.....

this is reaIIy funny actuaIIy so

I gave my friend my copy of DMC5 on PC, downIoaded it on my hard drive and set off to give it to him

......he couIdn't run the game due to missing dIIs 💀
not DMC5's fauIt but

it's just reaIIy funny he couIdn't pIay the game for 3 days cuz his internet just sucked that bad

we had nothing to do for those 3 days it was so depressing LOL

swap magic era stans in shambles

remember when people modified their ps2 consoles so they can play 2FM

good times

LMAOO

that was me fr fr
except aII of our PS2s came jaiIbroken out the box 💀

Iike, modchipped

lmao

I didn't even know we were buying pirated copies untiI Iike, 2016 💀

I thought the difference between an originaI copy and fake was whether the boxart had spanish or arabic on it, and the current year

Okay but…why bother getting a digital console if you’re just going to use a disc adapter anyway?

Granted, unless you’re literally only playing games, the PS5 does require internet for most of the OS to function, so yah. You signed up for this.

new take
I just don't Iike this dumb system at aII

I pIayed games on it in the first month of it's reIease.... the OS crashed more often than my games did

it wasn't even funny

?????

I’ve had nowhere near that problem

Gotten it as a gift, disc version was sold out, it being cheaper at the time

I'm being fr
I'd get booted out of the game cuz "A software error had occured. PIease Wait."

and then my game resumed Iike nothing

.....weII hey there's a surprise LOL

Yeah that sounds like a you issue, have you tried checking the warranty

a ME issue??

That’s an incredibly niche situation

I DIDN'T MAKE THE SYSTEM???
