“Earth will never be the same. After the Crystite Wars, humanity inadvertently invited the worst enemy ever conceived: The Melding. It surrounds us. It forces us to live in pockets of land protected only by the accidental discovery of repulsor technology. We continue to fight for land. For technology. For power. For our very survival. Join the fight.”

How to adjust the PS5’s beep sound

The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

There's not a lot to complain about once you're actually playing the best PS5 games, but there are a few things about the system itself that can be a bit annoying. Some of us want to turn off the controller speaker, while others will want to set up remote play. What most people may have ignored at first but has become a nuisance over time is that dreaded beep your console makes when you turn it on. Whether you simply find it irritating, or don't want to wake others when you're booting up your favorite multiplayer game in the dead of night, here's how to silence your console.

If you need to know which are the best PS5 headsets to play in complete silence, we've got you covered there, too.

PS4 vs. PS5: which console should you buy in 2024?

PlayStation 5 controller and PS5.

PlayStation 5 has been available for several years now and amassed an impressive library of great PS5 games. The new-gen hardware makes big upgrades over its predecessor, letting gamers enjoy better graphics, shorter loading times, and support for the fancy DualSense controller and other PS5 accessories. It's also much more expensive than PS4, so while PS5 is better than PS4 in most regards, it might not be ideal for frugal shoppers.

But is PS4 or PS5 the better choice in 2024? Does the aging PS4 really make sense to purchase right now, or should you opt for the PS5? From pricing and available games to storage and resolution, here's a closer look at these two popular consoles.
PS5 vs. PS4 vs. PS4 Pro specs
Even a cursory glance at the specs of the PS5 shows that it’s in a different league than the PS4 (and even the PS4 Pro). Sony has improved the capabilities of its platform in every way, adding more efficient storage, faster compute parts, support for larger capacity disks, and support for higher resolutions. We know there are two versions of the PS5 -- the Standard Edition and Digital Edition -- both of which will offer the same specs (with the exception of the omission of a disc drive with the Digital Edition). There's also the new PS5 Pro, but we won't be comparing that to keep things simple.
