Without knowing compatibility for the Ps5 there is a Samsung 970 evo plus 1TB for £140 on amazon on offer

I have one of them in my pc and it's suppose to be good.

Edit... Just seen it has to be Gen 4. there is a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB for £180.... There is probably similar for cheaper.

Full list of Beta Features

Main Features Updated in this System Software Beta Program Version

You can now insert an M.2 SSD to your PS5’s expansion slot and use M.2 SSD storage. Just like your PS5’s console storage, you can install PS5 and PS4 games in M2 SSD storage and play them directly from there. (Read more here.)
- You can use PCle 4.0 M.2 SSDS with a capacity of 250 GB minimum and 4 TB maximum.
- To safely insert or remove your M.2 SSD, make sure your PS5 is turned off and that the AC power cord is unplugged.
- To use M.2 SSD storage, insert your M2 SSD in your PS5’s expansion slot while your PS5 is turned off. When you turn on your PS5, you’ll format your M.2 SSD so that it’s ready to use.
- To move a PS5 or PS4 game that’s installed in console storage or USB extended storage to M2 SSD storage, go to your game library, press the options button and then select [Move Games and Apps]. Then select the game you want to move, and then select[Move].
You can now enjoy 3D audio through your TV speakers.
- To enable 3D audio for your TV speakers, go to [Settings] > [Sound] > [Audio Output], and then turn on [Enable 3D Audio for TV Speakers].
- You can also measure the acoustics of your room using the microphone on your DualSense wireless controller to apply the 3D audio setting that’s optimised for your room.
- If you have different platform versions of the same game installed, they’ll now appear separately on your home screen.
- Different versions of a game are now easier to spot. Icons are displayed to indicate the specific platform, such as PS5 or PS4.
In your games home screen, we’ve updated the following:
In (Library), we’ve updated the following:
- The [Installed] tab is now the first tab you’ll see, making it easier to find games that aren’t on your home screen, as well as offering quicker access to your media gallery.
- Under the [Installed] tab, each game’s tile now clearly indicates its platform (such as PS5 or PS4). Also, just as in your games home screen, different platform versions of a game will now appear separately.
- Under the [Your Collection] tab, you’ll now see that game tiles display the number of versions available to you when you’re entitled to multiple versions of a game.
- You can now hide games much more quickly.
In Game Base, we’ve updated the following:
- From the Game Base control menu, you can now do the following:
  - You can now access party text chats and send messages from the Game Base control menu in the control center.
  - If you’re the owner of a party, you can now delete it. From the Game Base control menu, select the party you want to delete and then select [Delete Party] from the (more) menu. If you delete a party, it will be deleted for all members.
- You can now see how many of your friends are online, busy or offline under the [Friends] tab.

In the control center, we’ve updated the following:
- You can now customize your control center more freely. All the controls at the bottom of the screen can be rearranged.
- The first time you open the control center, you’ll see a quick introduction to some of its key features.
When you enable the screen reader, you can now use the following features:
In (Trophies), we’ve updated the following:
- You can now track up to five trophies per game in the control center using the trophy tracker.
  - To start tracking a trophy, select a trophy and then select [Start Tracking].
  - When you’re playing a game, you can easily access information about the trophies you’ve added to your trophy tracker.
  - You can also view your trophy tracker in pin-to-side mode to see information about the trophies during gameplay.
- When viewing the trophy lists of games, the trophies will now be displayed vertically instead of horizontally. You’ll now be able to see more information for each trophy without selecting it.
- You can now pause the screen reader by pressing the PlayStation button and Triangle at the same time. To resume, press the PlayStation button and Triangle again.
- You can now make the screen reader repeat anything it reads. To do so, press PlayStation button and R1 and at the same time.

Other Updated Features

There’s a new accolade type: Leader. This is for a player who crafts the plan, strategizes, and inspires others. You can give accolades like “Leader” to players after online matches, when you want to encourage positive behavior. All of a player’s accolades, including this new type, appear on their profile.
In (PlayStation Now), we’ve updated the following:
- The streaming connection test lets you identify and fix problems with your connection.
- You can now choose your maximum streaming resolution to optimize your game performance.
- Now you’ll see directly in the game hub if and when a PlayStation Now game is scheduled to be removed, so you can make sure you try new games or play your favorites while they’re still available.
When you’re competing in challenges for a better time or a higher score and you set new personal best, we’ll automatically take a video clip of the action for you.
- You can share the video clip directly from the challenge card in the control center, or you can share it later from your media gallery. • To adjust this setting, go to [Settings] > [Captures and Broadcasts] > [Auto- Captures] > (Challenges).
In (Media Gallery), we’ve added new fonts for the text you can add to your screenshots.
We’ve made the following improvements to parental controls:
- Now when a child requests to play a game or use communication features in a specific game, their parent or guardian will receive a notification on the PS5 and PlayStation App.
- The child will also receive a notification when their parent or guardian accepts or denies a request, or stops allowing the child to play a game or use communication features.
You see suggestions in your control center when a friend is playing a game you can join.
- Previously, it would take about one day before these suggestions would appear for a friend you just added. They can now appear much more quickly.

You can now select whether you’d like to receive notifications on your PS5 or via email about new products and special offers. To do so, go to [Settings] > [Users Accounts] > [Account] > [Communication Preferences].
In (Notifications), we’ve updated the following:
- When you receive pop-up notifications with videos in them, you can now start the videos directly from the pop-ups or from your notifications list.

When you log in to the PS5, and an accessory with a microphone is connected, the mute status of the microphone is now displayed.
We’ve simplified the process of connecting, disconnecting and setting up your internet connection, making these tasks easier.
When adjusting your 3D audio profile for headphones, you can now move the sample sound to your left or right, allowing you to select a more optimized 3D audio profile. Go to [Settings] > [Sound] > [Audio Output] and then select [Adjust 3D Audio Profile].

I believe a heatsink is also required (not 100% sure yet though)

Varik

No large heatsinks will be required. NAND memory likes it hot and the controller won't ever be pushed enough to even throttle.

Most M2 drives don't need any heatsink, and the norm for the high performance ones is a sticker of thin foil just like on the only so far certified one the firecuda.

DaveyDave

The cheapest 1TB I could see to read above 5.5GB/s is the WD Black SN850 at 7GB/s for €200, the cheapest to hit 5GB/s is the Sabrent Rocket for €170. You'd have to really be stuck for space at these prices.

Personally, going between 3-5 games at a time I have plenty of storage space and I no longer hoard games due to lengthy downloads or large update files so I actually have more free space than I did with my 1TB Pro.

Have plenty of space on my ps5 as well. When I'm done with a game or if I haven't played it in a while, I'll just delete it. Have some games installed they I come and go to.

With fast Internet these days can delete and download whenever the need is there.

johnny_ultimate

Remember: you can just buy yourself a decent external SSD for a fraction of the cost of the ultra fast internal ones and store games you’re not using there.

Ah **** sake. Got a code for the new beta, redeemed it, couldn't find it and realised it's for PS4 :(

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117682987#Comment_117682987

Yeah I got the email too but copped on straight away that it was for Ps4.

Here's the code I'd anybody with PS4 wants to use it. Can be redeemed by 20 people

EoinMcLovin

Even though I sold my PS4 and cleared it before hand, it's still showing up on my account. Looks like I never deactivated the account before factory reset. No option to do online apart from deactivating all devices

Reports the new HZD delayed until next year

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117684324#Comment_117684324

kind of expected, nearly every game is getting delayed lately. Like they never gave a hard release date so it's understandable it would get delayed. I don't think Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding will get delayed seeing as they have release dates. Sony would want to at least get those games out.

TitianGerm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117684439#Comment_117684439

Those are basically DLCs though not full games.

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117684882#Comment_117684882

Are they? Both of them will be full sized PS5 games with extra content compared to their PS4 versions

TitianGerm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117684899#Comment_117684899

It'll be the same game's as the originals with the added DLC/content and some improvements to visuals and fps.

It'd be a GOTY version basically.

recyclops

Yeah those two are the only things that'll make my ps5 stop gathering dust I only habe it a week but unfortunately gamepass had two big releases in that week.

I just need something on the ps5 to wow me as right now it's playing a fairly big second fiddle to series X, maybe I will grab returnal next week and hope I am done with the ascent.

Potential-Monke

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117684987#Comment_117684987

Unles you get it on PS5, where it has Japanese lip sync (no small feat I'd imagine), haptic features, 3D audio support, adaptive trigger support, improved loading and dynamic 4K at 60fps. Bit more than a GOTY...

ItsHoggie

Played a bit of the free trial for Avengers over the weekend and got to say what a mess of a game. Every time I played it, it was riddled in glitches. From falling through the map, to characters not swapping properly and their body’s getting all stretched out to the whole game getting stuck in slow mo. I know the game didn’t get the best reception when it released but I always hoped to pick it up on sale sometime but from the time I’ve played it, it’s practically unplayable. It does look great though I’ll give them that.

CastorTroy

Was that the multiplayer version? I only played single player and ran grand for the most part. Maybe 1 or 2 problems

recyclops

so looking like I have a choice of ratchet and clank or returnal, both are reviewing well and so far nothing on the console has managed to drag me away from other systems, which one of these would wow me more in terms of the console?

lertsnim

Ratchet and Clank was great fun and visually it is a treat for the eyes.

Markitron

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117698631#Comment_117698631

Was in the same position a few weeks back and went with Returnal, which was a mistake even though I loved it. It was just too hard and I didn’t have the time or patience to spend 30 mins grinding for upgrades every time I wanted to attempt a boss. Brought it back and got ratchet instead which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The Iron Giant

Ratchet and Clank is a brilliant game. I had an absolute blast with it over the course of a few days. It really shows off what the PlayStation 5 and Dualsense can do. I found it quite a tight game that didn't outstay its welcome and didn't have an inane amount of collectibles (if you're into side quests or collectibles). Level design is great and visually its one of the best. More than anything, its fun!

Highly recommend it.

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117698799#Comment_117698799

Totally agree, such a great game and showcase for the dualsense. It's also an easy enough platinum

ItsHoggie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117698567#Comment_117698567

Nah the single player. The majority of the glitches happened in the first level with the bridge sequence and then in the mission with hulk, I just gave up after that.

mksbart1948

New Ratchet is a blast. Not as good as PS4 one (imo) but still top of the line. My only issue is weapon lineup, there are fine but not one really stands out for me.
