I’ve been using PlayStation most of my life but received a warning for arguing with a user who was blatantly throwing around the N word on the game mic. Never did I imagine PlayStation would side with racist users. I post this to warn people especially parents who might want to purchase a PlayStation or any of their products. Always remember they will ban you for defending yourself but they will allow racists to roam around freely disrespecting others and throwing around racist remarks. (I didn’t return a racist remark before anyone thinks to accuse or ask me if I did)

PS5 will definitely be the last Sony product that ever sees my money.

Sony CEO says no PS6 release date set amid parts shortage

Goes without saying, the longer the better at this stage. As we've yet to see the best that PS5 can fully offer and it has a lot of mileage left.

So I have this old account with really rare stuff but I’m locked out of it and it’s on PlayStation and I’ve changed the email and haven’t been able to get into it for years and my email on the epic account doesn’t work because I don’t remember the password so can anyone help me please thanks

I've a standard PS5 and in some games, like GTA or Skyrim, I notice stuttering or frame drops when there's a lot going on on screen or a lot of the world is being rendered.

It's not an online lag issue. It happens in single-player/offline gameplay, especially in busier areas or when moving through the map quickly.

I'm wondering if this is just normal performance for the standard PS5 in certain games, or if upgrading to a PS5 Pro would actually make these situations noticeably smoother.

I'm especially thinking ahead to GTA 6. I'd really like to avoid this kind of stuttering when that comes out, so I'm wondering if the Pro is likely to be worth it for that. Has anyone who upgraded from the standard PS5 to the Pro noticed much of an improvement with this kind of stuttering or frame dropping? I'd rather not spend the money if it's more down to the games themselves than the console.

Note - I have a standard TV and play at 60Hz so if changing that would also help let me know. Thanks everyone.

Sony killing PlayStation discs will make PS Store cheaper, former Square Enix financial exec says

As the track record suggests in past examples of this, it doesn't basically.

I’m writing this while I’m pretty stressed but I’ve accepted my fate now and it just got me thinking. The recent bo2 port has given rise to a lot of racist people in lobbies talking shit. I myself never indulged, until i was specifically targetted by a guy after a i kept humiliating him in sticks and stones (not deliberately the guy just had bad luck spawning in front). I was called racist slurs on voice chat.

I then proceeded to tell him to shut his ( f word) mouth via text message. This man then proceeds to send me a friend request. After a while of me not accepting it he sends me screenshots of him reporting me for harassment. It got me very paranoid and i went back and checked my email and apparently ive had 3 warnings over the past 4 years (these were in spam so i just found out). I am in crippling depression at the thought of permanently losing my account due to my prior warnings as well. I realised this guy was trying to build a better case at getting me banned by being my friend on psn. Gaming is all i have. And this account is over 10 years old w games over $2000.

I guess my question is, whats the point of talking to people online anymore if the best case is to simply never say anything and set settings to friends only. I obviously hate racism with a passion, but the whole bo2 thing i just found funny sometimes. I texted the guy hoping we might have a 1 v 1. And i have ended up with the thought that i might lose my account soon. My anxiety is through the roof.

TL:DR (I'll be honest I never know when I'm supposed to put that tl:dr, when I give a short version or do I still give the long version lol)

Bottom line my PlayStation network username is one thing I'm assuming, across the board. My online ID is another, that's the one that shows on all the games, yes? If I change the name that shows on all the games will I lose everything, like all my data from all my games?

Here's the long version. Okay my PlayStation network name is yah yeet. No judgement. The username that shows up on all my PlayStation games is carb\_power. I have been a PlayStation player for ages, but not multiplayer. I just got into multiplayer about a year ago, so when I made that name I didn't realize as I'm playing battlefield 6 that people would be calling out CARB, of CRAP, or CRAB lol. Story behind it is I'm a type 1 diabetic, my last name has part of the word carbohydrate in it, obviously carbs break down into sugar.. the irony.. so growing up everyone called me carbs. WITH THE S. CARBS. My own little tagline for everything was carbpower. Yeah.. well here fast forward, here we are playing multiplayer games and I'm getting called carb without the s. And it's a pain in the neck to explain it to everyone. So my big question is, if I change that name will I lose everything? Lose all my saved data from all my PlayStation games ever? Or is my PlayStation network name, the yah yeet the one that would make me lose everything. I can't find a definitive answer to this question. Obviously I'm talking about PlayStation and use a PS5. I don't know if that matters but I figured I'd throw it in there because of all the cross gen stuff. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.
