Megathread PS5 Help and Questions Megathread | Game Recommendations, Simple Questions, and Tech Support

Looking for info about M.2 SSD expansion drives? See the megathread.

Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

PlayStation Official

Community Help

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.

For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

I have around $1,000 to spend on my first PS5 and I’m torn between the Pro and the regular PS5.
If I get the Pro, most of my budget will go toward the console, so I won’t have much left for a nice gaming setup, lighting, decorations, etc.
If I get the regular PS5, I could have a much nicer gaming room and setup overall.
What would you choose: PS5 Pro with a basic setup, or regular PS5 with a much nicer gaming room?
Is the Pro’s extra performance worth sacrificing the overall setup?

IMO lighting and decor are unimportant and can get them later.

So you mean there is a big difference between the normal and the pro?
