I wasn’t planning on doing this with my PS5 games, thanks tho, I guess haha.

TheScotsman1299d ago

Yeah I worry about articles like this and the stupidity of some people....

Seraphim1299d ago

I don't worry about the stupidity of some people. people are inherently stupid & there are far to many morons out there. it is however sad that people actually write and post this kind of article. I mean it really goes w/o saying. and for those who are that stupid or curious. it's your dam fault for being so daft.

nirwanda1299d ago

Why is it stupid when they stated it works the other way around with miles Morales.

Tacoboto1299d ago

Why is this stupid and why does this go without saying? Valhalla is one disc for both Xbox platforms. PS4 Spider-Man and PS4 Sackboy work on PS5 And the PS4 Valhalla.

What's stupid is designing a hardware system where a disc gets stuck in a disc slot without manual intervention. What's truly idiotic though, are these comments above. So vitriolic over a disc slot not accepting discs and you all are like "No shit a disc slot doesn't accept a disc, stupid!"

kneon1299d ago

This is an easy mistake to make if you have both machines sitting next to each other, eventually someone will put the wrong the disk in one of the machines.

@Tacoboto

The article didn't mention how long they waited, they may have panicked too soon. I've had similar issues on Windows with bad disks, but eventually it gives up and ejects it on it's own. I suspect the same may be true here, they just didn't wait long enough

Can imagine quite a few people doing this to get two versions of miles Morales, it works the other way around with the PS4 version granting access to the ps5 version.
Don't see why it's so daft of people to try after all most people going to ps5 have a PS4 too.

Godmars2901299d ago

Sadly, I know people who put PC discs is consoles...

darthv721300d ago (Edited 1300d ago )

I wondered about this. I wasn't sure it would work going back so I opted to get the PS4 version of SM:MM so at least my son could play it on his 4 and then I could use the same disc to upgrade to the 5.

Bathyj1299d ago

I'm finding most PlayStation games go both ways. Hehe.

At least digitally.

porkChop1299d ago

The PS5 and Series X use UHD Blu Rays, so the PS4 and PS4 Pro wouldn't be able to read them.

darthv721299d ago

The discs for the games arent UHD capacity though. PS5 discs and series X discs are the same bluray as ps4 and xbo.

If you had said the file structure was not compatible then sure. Like putting a ps2 cd (purple disc) into a ps1 since both are the same disc format.

porkChop1299d ago

@LastRun
I didn't say they didn't.

@darth
I could swear I read last year that both consoles were going to be using UHD Blu Ray discs for games. If that's wrong, my bad.

ziggurcat1300d ago

Moot - AskPlayStation on twitter has posted many times on how to eject discs that get stuck in the PS4.

Rainbowcookie1299d ago

Well duh. Its like people putting stickers on deodorant cans telling people not to spray into your eyes...

Tacoboto1299d ago

Putting a disc into a disc slot is equal to spraying chemicals in your eye?

Rainbowcookie1299d ago

Not quite but the principle is the same. Why would you put a ps5 disc into a ps4... why would people spray themselves in the eye... you actually have people doing it.

Tacoboto1299d ago

Here's a not-so-stupid comparison: Putting a house key into the wrong door.

I'll admit that Facebook is doing more for VR than others. But they also have blown over 50 billion dollars so far and growing in R&D, building the meta verse, buying up exclusives and underpricing their products below build price, to kill competition in the stand alone space. Sony and Valve aren't willing to go into the red at an unheard level to capture the market. We know Sony could build a stand alone device that beats Quest just by the features in PS VR 2 and the new stand alone headset they built. But the new Sony would rather build a device they can profit from day one.

But, Sony so far has profited on hardware and on software. They just don't seem willing to spend the money on marketing, selling under build price or spending millions on making in-house VR exclusives for PS VR 2. Which sucks big time. They're just letting 3rd parties and indies run the show.

Article also doesn't mention that Apple's headset is more a developers product than a mass market item. To say they are looking into making a cheaper one for the next iteration is speaking the obvious. Duh. That was always the case. Build something the public sees as quality not can't afford, then make another that the masses can afford. TVs, cars, cellphones etc all were once expensive. Now, they're cheap to buy with many options to choose from. And Apple isn't even selling VP as a VR headset. I'm well aware that Apple's true intentions is to build a device that pushes AR with VR as an option. Not build a VR device. Because they know eventually that they want to replace the cellphone with AR glasses or an AR headset. If they cared about games, they would have launched as a gaming device.

Lastly, Facebook launched Quest 3 last year. But has not mentioned how many they sold up to this point. Why is that? Besides Quest 2 selling more by being cheap, the market can't move forward until they start selling more Quest 3 headsets than 2. Maybe the new exclusive Batman and Hitman games will help. But we'll see.

Meta is also Billions and billions in the hole in regards to VR. If Sony were to do what Meta has done, they'd be bankrupt
