As crazy as it sounds, even if we do go into level 5, I can see them granting Smyths and the like essential status or something akin to it.

There is absolutely no way they completely shutter toy shops before Christmas.

Berty

With NPHET and the government all talking about Christmas already and how it could be impacted there is no way a shop like this would be allowed to impacted by the potential next stage 4/5 rules.

Smyths were doing doorstep collections way back when in the lockdown. They might just need to do it again but coming up to Christmas it would be a friggin nightmare because some people cannot and will not use a website, prefer wandering the aisles with their trolley. I'm happy to hibernate for the winter myself with my PS5, online shop and avoid people altogether.

In my haste when ordering the PS5, I selected in-store collection rather than delivery (Smyths).

I see it as quite likely Smyths stores won't be allowed to open their doors on November 19th.

hhhhhmmmmmmmmmm.

I wouldn't worry too much. They will either allow you to collect at the front door or they will just send a mail advising that they will now be delivered to you instead.

Considering a 2TB nvme gen 4 is almost the price of the console itself I wouldn’t call the included storage gimped. For €399 the value is insane.

Ssd prices drop as time goes on. So I'm guessing in 12 months time those prices will have dropped substantially.

I think he means that the size of the SSD is small to begin with but there will be even less usable space when the OS uses it's share.

Genuinely curious to know what do you mean by the ps5 is gimped already?

It amazes me what people expect from a €399 plug and play console vs the latest high end PC.

Sony have already said that the speed of the drives need to be at the same or similar level to the onboard SSD because the games need to run at a certain speed to grabbing a cheaper Gen 3 with a lower throughput might not be a good idea.

That's new technology for you though.

There was only three different Gen 4 SSDs available that I could see when I bought my one. As more come to market we'll see prices drop though.

What you're looking at for sub Â£100 are Gen 3 NVME SSDs. I've a WD Blue NVME that cost Â£95 for 1TB but it's can only read at up to 2500MB/s and write at 1950MB/s.

GameStop have this trade in offer for preorders:
"Preorder today and get 50% off new games when you trade in 1 game from a list"

Anyone know if this applies to PS5 preorders?

Or just PS4?

Yes and no.
You can trade in from the list against buying a ps5 game. But the credit you receive is 35euro, so it doesn't quite equate to being half price if your pre ordering one of the ps5 games at 80 euro, eg Demon Souls will cost you 45euro with one game traded in from the list, but Miles Morales will only cost 25euro

makes these prices pretty outrageous

PCIE Gen 4 NVME SSDs are expensive for PC still.

I got a 500GB Corsair MP600 for £100 a few weeks ago. It has read speeds of up to 4950MB/s and write speeds of 2500MB/s. As far as I'm aware the PS5 SSD is faster than that?

Xbox uk tweeted "how to swap your console from vertical to horizontal" and just 2 pics, one standing and one on its side, as in no stand needed. They deleted it which is a pity cuz that's just funny banter like when Sony made a video how to swap games with your friends.

I never thought about fitting it horizontally in the shelf of my tv unit. I wonder with the new coolant tech would that be a possibility or should it still be out in the open?

Here's a video of a Swedish lad who made a full scale replica of the console.

Those drives price will hopefully come down in time.

Will be using a regular external USB as a pack mule and move stuff around until prices go down.

Wonder how you’d get that to work in Europe.. would wonder is that kind of data sharing allowed?

Not unless you opt in for Europe. But in the US, they are only really starting to look into data privacy, California is leading the charge but most states are wild west about it.

Here you could sue easily enough if Microsoft don't have proof of allowing them to send data to third parties

Apparently there are already third party wall mounts ready for release although no image yet.
