    saw this on the xbox storage so thats a good thing hopefully Sony follow suit

    "An alternative to this expandable storage is simply using any USB drive to store games when you don’t need to play them. If they’re not enhanced for Xbox Series X / S then you’ll even be able to run them direct from USB storage, or you can simply copy them and use drives as cheaper cold storage."

    They haven't announced PS5 compatible SSDs yet, afaIk.

    Sony not giving information? Shocking!

    Would like them to start announcing more details ASAP. Though they probably think they don't need to now they have all the preorders.
    Any information they have given such as BC, we have to go find it in articles and not on the official blog.

    My SSD replacemnt drive for PS4 was €100, I assume the price will remain the same for 3rd party drives for PS5

    Cast you mind back to the PS Vita proprietary memory card..... probably not that bad but not a million miles off it either. Be waiting a good while for 3rd party official ones

    Anyone know will ps5 be in stock in November 19th or only pre order?

    Will it be hard to get ? I'm not in a rush for one as haven't used ps4 in months.

    Harvey Norman and Argos are not taking pre-orders, at least yet, you can register interest, thats the best bet left imho.

    I know not PS5 related but did anyone see the price of the 1TB expansion cards for the XBOX..... $219.99. Ouch. Kinda makes the S version that little less appealing.

    This 1TB SDD is faster at read 7,000MB/s and write 5,000MB/s and is $230. It might be fast enough for PS5, but Sony need to approve them for compatibility first.

    The best thing about off the shelf SSD’s is that they’ll fall cheaper than the Xbox versions despite being double the speed.

    Gamestop are not guaranteeing all pre-orders will be delivered this year, that's not a good sign.

    If you want it this side of Christmas you are probably going to need a pre-order.

    I'm no soccer fan but to me, that's like saying "why bother watching the world cup final live when you can watch a replay the day after". To me, and I assume others, this is the world cup final and I want to be front and centre for it.

    Didn't they force people to buy extra items with their pre-order for the Xbox One or they wouldn't honour it and get a load of abuse for that, and had to can the same procedure for the PS4 launch a couple of weeks later?

    Yeah I don't miss them based on that kind of ****e acting.

    Yep, given Smyths and Gamestop are the 2 biggest console retailers in the country, that's incredibly presumptuous.

    The day 1 experience is something special imo, it's like christmas morning . The fact that it sold out within minutes of preorders going live means it may/will be hard to get on launch day or even this year because of covid.

    Other places will have it yes on the 19th. And they will be sold out within 1 or 2 hours.

    The amount of pre orders a Gamestop and the fact they are already telling people they might not get one before Christmas is not a good sign.

    Retailers will probably get some more stock before Christmas but they will be gone as soon as they advertise them.

    There won't be any on shop shelves if that is what you are getting at.

    I also find it a bit bizarre that someone would come into a thread about the PS5, a thread that has 4600 posts stretching back 18 months, and ask what the big deal is about getting it on day one

    Yeah. They tried to claim they were directed to do so by Microsoft, but had to backtrack on that fairly sharpish, apologise, refund anyone who brought back the extra items they were forced to buy, and promise they wouldn't do the same for the PS4.

    They were always my go-to before that. After I got my PS4 (and bought the extra games/controller I was going to buy there in Argos down the street instead), I don't think I ever spend another cent in there.

    Trying to lie their way out of it was the worst, feel bad for the staff having to enforce that ****e on the night.

    The price of games now is ridiculous. 80 euros is just a pisstake. I know a deal of development and testing and other costs like packaging are incurred but the physical product is costing only a handful of euros to make.

    But by that logic - Digital downloads should be free as there is no packaging or physical disk. Development takes Years with hundreds of people involved that all have to be paid.

    I recevied an email from GAME earlier saying they have a limited number of pre-orders going up tomorrow 'late' morning. It might be worth a try for those who are happy to order via parcel motel.
