  Not that the PS5 was a major upgrade to the PS4. Sure it can produce some better graphics, but the UI is such a downgrade.

  I’ll never understand why they made an option to silence the beep at startup, but they push the boot up and login music through the TV when headphones are connected to a controller. That’s so much more annoying and last so much longer when you’re trying not to disturb other people in the room.

    You can change the default audio device through settings. I set mine to headphones, so it just starts through it, and if I needed to switch, i do it through the menu.

      I have it set to automatically change to headphones when they’re plugged in and for all audio to go through headphones when they’re plugged in, however the startup music and log in screen music still play through the TV. After logging into a profile, it’ll switch over to headphones for all audio.

      I’ve even left my headphones plugged into the controller after manually choosing headphones for all audio and then turning the PS5 off and on again and it pushes startup and login screen music through the TV.

    The one thing that the PS5 brings to this generation is blazing fast loading times. PS3 and PS4 games that load often are unbearable.

    The UI is complete shit.

    XBM is the best for a TV media box like a game console but corporate trends dictate mandatory enshitification because customers are stupid shit-for-brains idiots that must be advertised to at every possible opportunity or they will read The Communist Manifesto and start a consumer revolt. /s

      I never had any long load times on my PS4, usually only about 5-10 seconds. However, I think the 5-10 minute load times for PS2, even when just changing areas in a game made me a lot more patient for Playstation games.

      I remember avoiding the save feature on Star Wars Battlefront due to the long time it took to save and hours spent on the PS2 Harry Potter games. Walking through a door would trigger a 5-10 minute wait period and you couldn’t necessarily use that as a bathroom break, because you didn’t want to miss a cutscene.

        I didn’t think it was that crazy either, until I booted my old ps4 up about a year later, and im sorry, but it made me appreciate how fast the ps5 is. It really is slow, and once you’re used to it, it was very hard to go back, haha.

        Try playing any fighting game on PS4. 50%-60% is loading screens.

    Nothing is better than the xmb on ps3. I hate the new UIs.
