No, PS3 discs don't actually work in the PS5. You can play PS3 games on PS5 through streaming (which I think is restricted to PS Plus), but it's better to just use a PS3 for PS3 games as the PS5 doesn't actually run them, they're streamed from a PS3 (this relies on you having a good internet connection). So cut out the middleman and just use a PS3 to run PS3 games, or get a high end PC to emulate them via RPCS3. @@deboraabh

You would think Sony would have a gyroscope sensor built into the console to tell you the console wasn't in correct orientation! I don't have a PS5 currently, but when I do, I prefer the vertical orientation because I think it looks stupid in the horizontal position!
@@TimeMasterOGexactly. I mean this is a joke, but I figured out I laid it down upside down on the table while taking it out of the box after seeing it had little legs.
Damn i legit had to think there for a second i said wait a minute when did sony start making the disc insert that high up on the playstation system then i realized then i realized it was upside down 😂😂😂
to be fair, I made the same mistake after I first got my PS5...I'm so used to disc drive being more 'on top' than 'on the bottom' of the consoles, like the PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, etc.
Another RUclipsr mentioned the same thing, but the disc inserted in the wrong position. Nice short. 👏 And I'll be a bit blunt here, people really need to learn how to position the console correctly AND the disc. A manual was in the box for a good reason, same as the Sony website. 🤦🏾♂️
Upside down I had that problem too Its just that the ps 5 wasn’t planned as much as the ps4 and hence they said that the disc is upside down even when it’s straight So try the other way and it will work Pls pin me if it works.
Microsoft Xbox is a win for games that were on PS3 and classics and the PS5 is good for PS4. In terms of backwards compatibility I'd give it to Microsoft but games would be Sony.
It’s a great console, but I got a PS5 in the end because I already had a PC with the SX controller and PS still offers me some great exclusives, and this way I saved more in games, because I had a lot of PS4 ones. Enjoy your monster console.
looking at the ps5 upside down was giving me stomach pain, this system's shell is so stupid looking that ik this isn't the only time this has happened and it makes feel sick
Most welcome ! Additional advice is to never run the ps5 upside down if not the machine will overheat and die ! So if they are asking u to flip the disc? Flip the ps5 instead :)
I watched a tutorial on RUclips before I bought a PS5 just keep in mind that the power buttons and usb c should always be above the label no matter how you orient the console vertically or horizontal it’s a weird design when compared to past PlayStation consoles.
I immediately peeped it upside down. I knew because I hate the way the disc as to go in when it's vertical. It's the most awkward way to put in a game.
By the way, try putting your ps4 disc downward towards the reading drive as the ps5 reading drive is different from the ps4 which in the ps4 you can(technically) insert ps4 discs both ways on the same type of Playstation but in the ps4 reading drive, ps4 games however can be read no matter what
I got an old beat up PS3, sliding door top load primarily to play Football 2K8, it stopped playing Assasins Creed Black Flag, my favorite game and it won't play Grand Theft Auto 5. Other than that it plays almost all the games for PS3
You have to put the disc the other way you put it in but I wouldn’t recommend because the ps4 disc will damage your ps5 when you finish downloading the game then playing
@@cryogenicheart2019 Well, personally I have the advantage to have seen enough YT videos to know how to insert the disc, but since the PS4 had it's disc slot on the top left as well I can very well see people getting very confused with the PS5, although the answer is simple. I think the Xbox is a little more simple there, on one side you have these rubber things so it's clear how to place it (although I think the Xbox looks best standing up)
There’s like 5-10+ games from ps4 that don’t run on ps5. Only one I’ve come across is the digital version of heavy rain, it run just very glitchy. All my 150+ ps4 discs run great on my ps5

You actually need first of all to make the part of the disc where it has colors face the PlayStation icon.
LMAOOO
Thank you so much I thought my ps5 was trippin that should not be the way to put a disc in
@@B0062-q1s most welcome ! Love the ps5 but the design is AWFUL
Nier automata...you,sir,truly are a cultured gamer.
Yeah im the stellar blade kinda gamer ngl
Lol ngl, you had me in the first half sir…
Cheers mate ! Based on true events by the way haha
Thanks for this video now I can play Borderlands in peace
You are welcome ! Merry christmas in advance & a happy new year 🤣
Put the disc in upside down, the side where you can read what game it is is supposed to go down or facing the way the enternals of the console would be
I did the same thing with my ps5, in the vertical postion. It just didn't feel natural the other way lol
@@Phoenix22344 exactly! I wonder if the ps5 was designed for the left hand drivers in the USA. Which is why right hand drivers like me are left confused
I was sitting there thinking ok so what is the problem. Then looked over at my ps5 and knew what the problem was. 😂
Well the ps5 looks better upside down
@@cryogenicheart2019 I don’t think having it upside down helps it look better. It still looks like an eye sore no matter how I sit my ps5. And don’t get me started on the looks of the ps5 slim.
Honestly hope sony have a better look for the ps5 pro.
Not going to lie, this happened to me on Christmas 2023 XD
I was wondering why PS5 AND PS4 games are not being read. Then I flip the console and it had the logo at the bottom.
It even took me sometime to get used to the power and eject button (why are they even close to one another).
Not exactly a good design choice.
@@PrinceofMae the product design for the ps5 is really the worst amongst all playstations! Ever since posting this video im getting hundreds of comments all saying they made the same mistake!
You’re putting it in backwards. You have to flip it around if you’re trying to say your PlayStation horizontals that way.
Ok I will flip my ps5
You can’t flip the PlayStation or you just keep it like that and then just flip the disk
Or you can flip the disc every time when you’re putting it in
When I first took it out and put it on the kitchen table I put it upside down too, but it literally comes with little legs you need to put in it. And thats when I realized that. That was before I got it connected to the TV and everything and started setting it up.
Bro the ps5 for ps4 games aint an upgrade
Ps5s essentially have a ps4 inside them
The ps4 games are now 4k 60fps bro! Its unreal!!
Hmm, tru tru, enjoy the PS5!!!@@cryogenicheart2019
Bruh! You are the lord Sakai! 🔥
I had my PS5 Slim standing vertically and did did the exact same thing, inserting the disc upside down at first 😅
The ps5 fat & slim both has that confusing shape haha
