Am I right in saying there's no way of getting to your screenshots and captures without going into the storage section in the settings?

Hold down the capture button and go to the left.

And if you faff with captures, then you'll also have the Media Gallery on your er, tiles? (It's never left mine since day one )

I've not seen a Media Gallery tile at all. Have to go into the settings or use the capture button to get into it.

Weird. I'd have thought using it would have placed it on the home screen tiles...

Try accessing it this way: Game Library (the right most icon on the tiles) > Installed > Media Gallery. Maybe that'll get it to appear on the tiles.

I started playing it last night and I love it, I’m not very far in but some levels have made me actually smile while playing it, it’s so nice to play a game that is so much fun,

I’m also playing Watchdogs Legion and thinking I should have picked Assassins Creed Valhalla first as my current big open world game

Last Of Us II is still sealed but when I get around to playing it I want it to be my only game I’m playing

Also playing FIFA and PES still deciding which one I prefer

So, just to update on my PSN issue - I actually got a refund today!

I received a reply to my email yesterday, and was asked to call customer services with a reference number. So I did that today, spent about 20 minutes going over the issue again. Apparently, COD locking up on the Activision account creation/login screen is Activision's problem. But after a challenge the person I was speaking to looked at my account history, said 'but you haven't played this, I can see you haven't from your game history, in which case you are entitled to a refund.' And then, promptly actioned a refund. She was incredibly polite and helpful....but I'm still not quite sure how the first person who read my email didn't come to the same conclusion, as I was clear I couldn't play the game, try as I might.

I've been playing a few levels after the first boss and it is so joyful to play. I love it!

Need to team up (up to 4) with some GRcadians online and it would be good fun.

Lucky you found someone half competent. Glad you got your money back.

What I've learned from this: if a game install strawberry floats up and it won't even properly start, don't bother mentioning that to PlayStation. Instead, just tell them you changed your mind, or that it was purchased without your knowledge, or that it was some other sort of mistake, and want a refund; clearly, stating that it doesn't work means they start looking for someone to blame.

As the ps5 version is a free upgrade if you have the pa4 version, we started a NG+ game of Borderlands 3 last night.

It is SO much better on the PS5. Resolution mode now runs at 60fps in split screen (how played the game the first time) and its so much sharper. Well worth a look if youve been on the fence about it, as the ps4 version has been around £10 New recently.

Does split screen fill the whole TV or are the two images windowed with black borders?

Whole tv with a choice of horizontal or vertical.

Sweet. I might have to check it out then.

Turning on PS5 sans disc in drive: did it even turn on?

I think your learnings are correct! Another learning is 'don't email them, call them' as the impression I got was that by emailing them and over-explaining the issue, I confused the issue.

Cheers for your advice on this (and to KK as well).

Last planet left for Ratchet and Clank tonight My god it's such a good game, only started it on Wednesdy night too....

Now to decide whether to play God of War, Spiderman 4 or Horizon Zero Dawn next. So much choice it's awesome!

Play R&C again on challenge mode. Honestly. It turns it all up to 11 and you can blast through it pretty quickly in a second run.

Might do that after a different game. As much as I love Ratchet and Clank I've got such a backlog of games I want to play them all rather than play the same one again so soon.

All excellent games, though GoW is my favourite. Have you played it before?

Nope never played it. Have heard how good it is so considering that. Although I am picking up Ghost of Tsushima today.
