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].

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.

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.

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

Reports the new HZD delayed until next year

Those are basically DLCs though not full games.

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.

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...

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

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

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.

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.
