Happy Birthday! I hope you have such a Birthday!
Happy birthday Ircha!! you look like an Angel
@@xtranathor8143 "SUCH a birthday" ! xD thanks!
Happy Birthday, Irene! I was so excited to see you’d posted a new video! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday, Irene! We love you!
I absolutely love my PS5 but that's hilarious that you taped an external to the side 😅honestly I would reinvest in a Seagate Fire Cuda SSD that's the one I use and it's blazingly fast and saves a lot of games
I use the 2tb version, great drive.
I got one nearly a year ago and its a good console experience with the fast loading and improved performance, also the increased immersion from the DualSense and 3D audio. Astro's Playroom was surprisingly fun
Woohoo, congratz getting a PS5, I was lucky to get mine 2 months after launch and loved it, I wasn't a fan of the style either, but once I put the midnight black plates on and stood it vertical.....omg, loved it
same! I can never go back to PS4 with 30fps games yuck. The good graphics and frames made me get used to it I can't go back to PS4 games unfortunately lol
I finally scored one too a couple of weeks ago. I asked this shop owner if he could help me out and he said to call at 12:00 on a Thursday. It was also with Horizon Forbidden West and a controller
The stand for horizontal position goes where your hard drive is taped to the device 🤣🤣 great review!
1st video I have seen on your channel and I think you are great! I love how you just speak your mind and don't sugar coat everything! Funny as well, new subscriber!
Thaaanks ❤️ 😍😍✌️
The stand is less complicated than it seems but it does require a screwdriver. You can use it to make the system stand vertical or horizontal. Weirdly, in horizontal mode the stand fits into that slanted spot where you taped your hard-drive so it'll be stable when you lay it down.
So far I like the system. The way it runs and the speed feel great, really responsive. Personally love the controller as well. Probably my second favorite controller at this point. One thing I really DON'T like though, is the system interface. The menu's are really convoluted.
Recently got a series X in addition to the PS5 and I think I like the simplistic design of the Series X more and the packaging for the console is second-to-none.
I need to look into that stand a bit more 😋👍
Also the newer models has a thumbscrew for the stand instead so you don't need a screw driver with those models
Have to disagree with you on the menu interface and UI's between the Playstation & Xbox consoles. I like the Playstation's WAY better !! The menu system on the Xbox is confusing and convoluted to me. Most of the time I can't find what I'm looking for on Xbox where the PS is simple to understand & navigate. I do like my Xbox alot don't get me wrong, but the menu system could use an overhaul.
I used a coin instead of a screwdriver 😆
@@TheActs2021I've had it for a year maybe and still struggle to do simple things like leave a voice chat party. And closing a game is like a 5 button process. I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it but it's not doing it for me yet.
I gotta say you got me here with that video of Happy Console Gamer. I do like watching the occasional video from you. Good stuff! 👍 keep it up.
Congrats, welcome to the family!
Absolutely adore your reviews
Thank you so much 💕
Such a fun video. Brilliant idea taping the hard drive to the side. my old hard drive would slide off the table if i moved my system slightly by ejecting the game. Love my PS5, but keeping my PS4 Connected for games I play on my Vita.
Happy Birthday! And congratulations on finally getting your PS5!
Happy Birthday and thanks for the nice video.
Gratulerer med dagen 🥳
Congratulations great video , picked mine up in Feb this yr. I was over the monk when I got it
Love your reviews and your taping of the PS4 part on your PS5! 😉
I managed to get one in June, I asked the shop when they will get more in and he said we have some in but that they wont put them on the shelves or on their website as scalpers keep getting them and only tell people they have them when they ask. To be honest I don't think its a massive improvement on the PS4 if I am honest, but I finally got one :).
This is awesome! I finally get my hands on a ps5 today here in Australia can't wait it's been way too long! 🔥🤘😆
Sick vhs bro and happy belated birthday beaut. Xx
I've been enjoying mine as I got the standard edition. Nice video and have a wonderful day.
Nice video
And Happy Birthday Ircha! I hope you did something fun and that you got some great games as presents!!
Love your content. That smirk you pull out is so lovely and I love your accent. happy late BD too :)
Ohh thank you 😁😍👍
Haven't watch you in a while was good to watch you do a review of this.
Not the hard drive taped to the side 😂😂 so good
Been waiting on this video for a while!! Lemme grab a snack and enjoy lol
I hi ircha I just got my ps 5 Friday I’m a new fan of yours I love your videos of your feedback of some awesome games that you have put down some serious 🧐 game times
Man I haven't seen any of your CZcams videos in a long time I've missed you big fan here and also big fan of heavy metal Jesus I love your CZcams channel so much sending you love from Seattle Washington USA belltown neighborhood I hope you have a happy Friday and a happy weekend and a happy next week
Thanks 😁 I'm watching MJR right now ☺️
Congratulations on your ps5, I still need to get one so I'm a bit behind lol. happy belated birthday to you! 🎂
The stand works for the horizonal placement, that's how you stop it from wobbling. The box includes a little drawing of how to place it ^^ That's how I was able to place mine. Much love!
Using the stand in the horizontal position is terrible... it doesn't stay on well and easily becomes unstable.
There are vastly superior aftermarket horizontal stands for the PS5 available on Amazon and elsewhere that are just worlds better.
@@wolfshanze5980 I use it like that and have no issues at all
“It’s like Blackreach all over again” that hit hard 😂
Haha yeah 😅😅😁
I really like ur accent 😊😊 and your so honest about the review kinda funny...im a fan from the philippines
Got this thing two years ago - played Spiderman and some PS4-Games. Been waiting for any interesting game since - didn't come so it's just used as a 4k-Bluray-Player.
same XD got mine as well out of luck 2 weeks ago, the stock went sold out in a few minutes. it's crazy...
Thinking of getting one next summer. I hope a smaller redesign happens tho
I love seeing all the GUST and Compile Heart Games come up on the home screen; I'll be doing the same thing with GUST if I get a PS5. It'll be interesting too see how both Ryza games as well as both Blue Reflection games run and look on the PS5. Also have a great Birthday. :D
I had a feeling about how this would go seeing the past vids on this channel.
Congrats on the pickup. As some mention, the included stand should help with stabilizing the console in whatever configuration you want to set up your system. Also, don’t forget to add the PlayStation Plus Collection titles to your profile. There’s some great titles available in the collection that you might not have in your digital collection.
On a side note: Please play through Astro Playroom. It’s more than a demo of the system and is an awesome title that highlights the history of PlayStation. I was able to play it with my family and we had a great time together. The kids still go back to some of the levels from time to time.
How do hit add them all to your profile without downloading them? I have Plus Extra.
First time watching you love the honesty definitely following you also its really really huge il wait for the ps5 pro or a smaller version
Good review. I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you 😍😁👍
@@ircha You're welcome. Have a lovely day.
Valhalla... "Norway is home to a people as beautiful and harsh as the unforgiving land that birthed them". Happy Bithday! It's always nice to see reactions to new PS5.. and I do not hurry yet to own it.. but sometimes in the future.. and the way how you have taped your external hard drive made me smile :-)
Love your videos and the accent is awesome 😁😊
I also got the ps5 to play my HUGE PS4 backlog (more than 200 games)
So my ps5 is just a SUPER PS4 PRO
love your content
Congrats!!
Hi! Saw that someone mentioned you could do account linking on Genshin between consoles and just wanted to reiterate that. But also I’m so excited that you’re playing Genshin again! Your videos were one of the reasons I got into Genshin and I absolutely LOVE the game. Thank you ❤️❤️
@Ircha Gaming, congrats and welcome to the PS5 family! I love my PS5. Not liking the design of the console but what it can do is amazing! I'm 67 hours into Horizon FW and still not close to the end. I also have alot of backlog games and just bought Tiny Tina on PS5. Enjoy. I was lucky enough to get a Sony invite to buy a PS5 a few months ago.
the twisted shape, the white color, the size, it looks more like a radiator than a Gaming console.
Jat!
@@ircha det kan være fint, men litt bæss 🙂
The games you like versus the games you don’t enjoy in this video-f**king classic Ircha Gaming. Love it.
I literally laughed out loud at your HFW review. “It’s a game.”
I’m loving Horizon FW but yeah it has such a slow start. I like the writing of the tutorial as to why it’s happening, but that starting area & the original area before you get past the gate into the actual Forbidden West is definitely not as good as ZD or the rest of FW.
There is an option under visual I believe to always highlight the grips on the walls as to what’s climbable.
Hope that helps, congrats on finally getting the system.
what is zd?
@@hsplayer2612 I believe it refers to Zero Dawn, as in the first game, Horizon - Zero Dawn.
@@wrathpsp thank you
Oh wow, Congrats on the PS5 and Happy belated Birthday 🎂 Ircha! 🙏😅😊
Now that you have a PS5, and if your TV supports it, you should make sure to turn on the new VRR feature. Some games will perform and run significantly better when you switch to 120hz
I was thinking about doing an unboxing video wow you're in for fabulous console the hard ware line from the controllers to the colors " I wish they would add yellow" the Design of the ps5 is something out of Starwars the virtual psv2 head set is out of thus world...you're going to amazed with the ray tracing and performance...
Great video that sums up a lot of how I feel too
I went from PS4 Pro to PS5 and it just doesnt feel like a big jump. Also for those people that havent gotten a PS5 yet. Dont. There arent many games that are PS5 only. I have had this PS5 for about a year and I can say, I play mostly PS4 games on it. Theres just nothing out right now that makes it a must have.
I actually think it’s extremely SHOCKING that Ps5 has been out for 2 years , most can’t even get 1 yet and even more shocking, there’s no games. Like 2 years and hardly anything. It’s a complete joke.
@@grahamkelly8662 I was thinking I'd like to upgrade this xmas to PS5 I cant believe going into year 3 of this console and I can't walk into a store and buy one. I no it's not the retailers fault but really should Sony have launched this console when they knew this situation with the chips. I wonder why there is not more backlash about tbh. Still have my ps 4 pro anyways thank God.
I saved up months in advance to get a ps5. Pre-ordered it back in September 2020. And it arrived on Christmas eve that year.
Congratulations, enjoy👍🏼
Taping an external hard drive to the side of your PS5, nice job MacGyver'ing it. The stand is confusing but if you fiddle with it, it does work well in either position. Also turn the lights on controller to dim. That should help battery life a bit.
I got my PS5 last week too (i have all the major consoles now: XSX, NS and now PS5, its kinda for my work) and I do agree with many points that you're making. The first thing that hits you is just how YUGE ps5 is! The stand is difficult too. I have my console horizontally and I had to adjust the stand many times before i got it right and playstation was standing firmly. The controller feels nice to me - vibration is great and definitely best of all the controllers i have and haptic triggers are at least an interesting gimmick. That being said I really do love my XSX and if i was to choose between the two I'd go with XSX.
👍!!
The haptic trigger and overal feel of the dual sense is great, but the battery performance is kinda sad, and my version 1 has stick drift.. Newer versions wouldn't have this problem, there's a video on how to recognise the bar code for the newer model or just get the latest fancy color.
They are not gimmick
PS5, Nintendo Switch👌
And streaming Game Pass Ultimate, no console need❤️
@J1465 not problem for me I use stand underneath tv
I got my PS5 disc version on launch day! I got lucky and received the email from Sony to buy directly from them.
I actually like the design of the PS5. Maybe that's cause I saw the dev kits first and didn't like the design. So when they revealed the PS5 design, I was just glad it wasn't the same as the PS5 dev kit.
You should be able to put the stand to lay it flat down and be steady. Hope that helps.
I've had my ps5 for a year, certain things can improve but what console is perfect anyway? All I honestly care about are the games! Features, controllers, services etc, ok cool great but it's all about games for any console period! Nice review!
You need a balance. It should be all equal
@@SuperHitman55 wdym?
@@TrashCanBoiBoi Oh, I mean like all in one :) Gaming, and using apps
@@SuperHitman55 oh ok
So as long as you have the physical game copies you can play your ps4 games on ps5? I do have the digital games backed up on a Seagate hard drive which it looks like you do as well. I just discovered your channel in the past week and I'm loving it.
Yep 😁 👍 thanks 😁
@@ircha I got lucky and won a ps5 on eBay. (Only $600 usd for blue ray edition so not too horribly priced.) My poor ps4 deserves a retirement. Thanks for the review and reply. It helped me make my final decision.
Happy birthday! 🖤🌻🎉
I like the design of the series X so much more. I can't wait for the ps5 slim. It's gotta be better, because it can't get worse. Also assassin's Creed origins just went to game pass so imma try it.
the internal design of the Series X is also very cool. The mini fridge design just reminds me of the SFFPCs I'm very fond of.
Dude the shitBox looks like a plain black shoe box that might have-dirty Nikes in it with no real good 1st party games the ps5 has a swagger to it with plenty of 1st party games worth buying
I have both systems I wouldn’t brag about either right now because games aren’t too impressive on either system they each have their own pros and cons
@@jessepike3565 I own a PC and then realized I didn't need the Series X, that's why the Series X has a dust cover, it's basically never on. The games that are available for the Xbox are also available for the PC.
Well, having is better than needing 😁
I've had mine since launch. It's been almost 2 years since it launched and I couldn't recommend someone to buy it right now unless they are rich. There's just not enough exclusive experiences
I'd recommend it based on the fact that theres lots of PS4 games now that are upgraded on PS5 on top of the PS5 exclusives the console has. Basically whatever they're playing on PS4 we're playing the better version of it.
Wow never been this early ...yea new vid !
Happy birthday day 😁
Congratulations 🥳
Definitely is worth it.
It’s very fast and definitely you should play Astros play room.
Ircha I miss your videos🥰
Nice honest review! Enjoy your time with your PS5! :)
And happy belated birthday!
Thanks 😁!!
i felt the same about forbidden west, i loved the first one but this one was just ok, i wanted to 100% it but halfway through it i just gave up and did story missions to finish it. I too got stuck in one of those stupid caves for hours and had to watch a tutorial. I just stayed out of them once i got out
I noticed when you put it down flat you were actually putting it upside down 😅 the disc tray is underneath this time around so that's why it's wobbling
I know this now 😅😏😁👍
Once you dual-wield Gungnir and Gae Bolg in Valhalla, there is no stopping you anymore! I’m just waiting for a sale on that big dlc.
Grattis så mye med dagen din
Happy birthday!
I didn't realize the PS5 was so gigantic. My uncle generously bought me one and it's expected to be here in a couple of weeks. I'm already rearranging stuff in my mind on my tv stand.
Hahah 😂 yeah!
No way, that ps5 fan design at 16:09 looks like my kitchen scale. I'd go for the one before that!
Great review , had mine 4 months now , just started recording my review also 👍👍
I got one quite early and its great 👍 👌 love it 😀
There are some playstation symbols on the back of the console where the stand's little clip things rest. If it doesnt seem to fit, you can rotate the base to have the center bit push up and fit snugly
My friend is playing thru New Game+ in Forbidden West. I joked that he can play thru it 10 times, the punchline is he actually just might!!! Also, your nails(oohh..shiny!!)as well as your necklace and aesthetics are stellar! I currently own the XSX, but now that I've heard of the (maybe?)PS5 Pro coming, but if that comes out false, then I'll pick a PS5 up for sure! I'm a Nintendo fan foremost, but actually as I turned 43 last month (May 10th in 2022 as I'm typing this-and Holy peaches I'm old heh)and I moved out of my toxic group home into my own apartment with said friend(yay!)my games currently I'm actually paring down as I'm not playing a lot of them. Paring 1,410 physical games to about half that. Way too much bloat! Anywho, keep making this world a beautiful and amazing place Irene! Take care, happy gaming!! 🖖🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🎮😊Marcus
congrats on finally getting a ps5 :), I have a bunch of gamestop giftcards I got basically as a work bonus, so waiting for them to be in stock later this year or next to get one.
no biggie, my back log is all over the place, even now beating some xb360 games lately hahaha.
Very good review, I agree with everything you said. 🖒😎
Hey ircha if your still having issues with the PS5 base i did too on the bottom of the console there’s a little black cover the size of a penny that you must remove to screw in the bolt that is located inside the base it’s self i hope you this comment reaches you Irene 💗
I put black side plates on mine. It improved the appearance 200%, and I swear the games play better too!
yay more content from you!!! please review horizon forbidden west!!!
It doesn't wobble If you use the stand. I accidentally put a game in upside-down a few times
When I finally got mine I actually at that point after trien so many times I was gonna just say eh I'll get it later then and on a whim I answered an email from Sony Direct ,and I was able to purchase one so yeah loved my ps4,still love my it and my Nintendo switch Oled but I got lucky and secured that beast of a system so awesome sauce . Congratulations 👏
I love all the in-jokes for your reviews: "it's a controller" not "it's such a controller". Just perfect!
😂🤘
Simp
Im so redy for a ps5 I got an oled just salivating... congrats
Great vid
I just got a ps5 too but it's still boxed up as currently playing the new game + of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 before 3 comes out.
Congratulations 🎉🎈 I hope you enjoy it.
And happy birthday 🎁🎂🎊🎉
Eldin Ring, Final Fantasy 7 intergrade, and Gran Turismo are some great titles to play.
Nice video. I always like to hear your opinions. PlayStation has always been my main console. Nintendo has always been my secondary console. This generation is the first time that I have also bought an Xbox. I only purchased the Series X so that I can play future Bethesda games. I paid way more for my PS5 than you did. I got it from Stock X when it was only a couple weeks old. Anyway, I look forward to more PS5 videos in the future.
When laying it down,the PSS Stand is supposed to be where you have your External Hard Drive taped up 😁
The taped hard drive had me screaming 🤣🤣
Got mine on day release November 19 2020 in the UK 😍
I do not have problems with the design and bought two games for the system Judgment and Lost Judgment before even getting the console. The wait has been so long I can easily wait a few more years and buy a used one or buy the Pro version instead if that comes out. I have become a Xbox player these days and that feels bit strange. Nice that you got yours. Happy gaming!
Climbing in horizon you can turn on yellow markers were to climb in the menu
I have a PS4 Pro with a 2TB SSD. Still performs very well and is sufficient for my needs right now. Will upgrade once they release an updated model which will hopefully be black, smaller and more compact. Don’t see this happening for a while yet though considering Sony is trying to sell all those colourful faceplates…
The taping 😂
✌️✌️✌️
Finally, some one with the same struggle as me. I usually don't know what to get my games on. Sometimes, I buy the same game multiple times.
So Ircha, Have you had any time to check out "My Time at Sandrock ?"
