PS5 Revives One of PlayStation's Iconic Bugs - Push Square

PS5 Revives One of PlayStation's Iconic Bugs - Push Square

If you asked us what PlayStation’s most iconic bug is, we wouldn’t need to think about it for very long: it’s the legendary oversight on the PlayStation 3 which showed your DualShock 3’s battery indicator on top of the clock.

We battled with this for years, pushing the PlayStation button to see the time only to have it obscured by a symbol showing our pad’s charge.

This was eventually fixed in 2009 in Firmware Update 3.00, when the Japanese giant announced the solution as part of its patch notes: “When you press the PS button, the battery life indicator will no longer cover up the clock.” There was much jubilation on enthusiast message boards, as you can probably imagine!

But in what is surely a nod to the old bug of old, the PS5 user experience demonstration shows how the DualSense’s battery indicator will once again obscure the clock when you boot the console up:!

We’re going to go out on a limb and assume this is just an Easter egg for long-time PlayStation fans, reminding them of those days when they used to battle with the PS3’s covered clock!

@get2sammyb This time it's optimized for 4K!

I really really hope this is an Easter egg 😂.

Honestly it bugged me a little bit but I also had a clock in my room so I didn't mind much.

The real easter egg in the UI demonstration was that the person from the friends list was named Craig 😂 anyone catch that.

Time isn't important, the Dualsense's battery life is.

I mean if its not an Easter egg it doesn't really matter if it is just on boot up like not seeing the clock for 5-10 seconds doesn't really matter but if this happens every time you hit the ps button then we have a problem.

The clock up cock up

@Deadlyblack depending how much you would use the haptic feedback, if you turn off the vibration that would really extend the battery life

The haptic feedback might be really cool though

I find out pretty difficult to believe it's an intentional Easter egg of messing up the clock in the ui

It's funny but im sure it's not intentional

Well it's taken Sony 7 years to not sort out how sluggish the UI is on the base PS4 (it doesn't even cache game thumbnails properly for example) so I'm gonna guess this is actually a genuine design oversight

I thought that battery power indicator are those led stripes on sides by select (central) button on dualsho..

Battery indicator with 16x the detail

I have absolutely no memory of the PS3's battery indicator ever covering the clock xD

@I_Like_It why u cancel a pre order simply because it blocks the clock u will see it on home screen or they may fix that when launch lol or few patch notes
