Only to realize the damn thing doesn't have a heatsink. So I bought one on Amazon and now have to wait a week for that shit to come in. Y'all gave Xbox shit for its expansion options on release, y'all gave Xbox shit for its backwards compatability and smart delivery as if it isn't a useful feature, y'all refuse to give Xbox props for gamepass.

I love Sony exclusives but y'all some haters for not keeping that same energy for PlayStation.

I was critical of Xbox's approach as it's proprietary, but currently the Gen IV SSDs are so expensive anyway that it winds up being a draw in cost (for now, at least)

Although it is nice that PS5 SSDs are limited in size only by what's currently being made.

Do the heatsinks even really help that much?

The fact that you already need a new SSD this early in a console's life is a huge problem.

It's not even a matter of "help", as it is "need". They would be throttled to at least half of their performance without it.

Yeah, you need a very specific one for the PS5. Microsoft did it better with their drives.

the fact that they decided 825GB that actually is closer to 600GB was acceptable is a huge problem, yeah

You should see the Xbox Series S lol

That's a cheapo model. PS5 storage does suck. Xbox Series X is the same price and has more.

its inexcusable too, Ive no love for the Series S and have cautioned people away from buying it, but its also not the flagship model, the Series X at least pulls the full terabyte


Yeah but in a year you'll be able to get a 2TB Gen 4 SSD for cheaper than the 1TB XSX card. By the end of the generation it won't even be close.

Sony did actually choose the more consumer friendly option, but the fact that the tech is so new is really what makes it annoying here and now.

Is the benefit of PS5's super fast SSD really worth the cost? First part exclusives to the console will make use of it, but anything that also releases on Xbox or PC won't. How many first party games are you going to be getting?

The difference between it and the Series X is pretty negligible honestly. We're talking about a difference of like a second. I prefer the bigger storage.

Unlike the Series X PS4 BC games don't even get to take advantage of it either.

PS4 games absolutely do load faster from the SSD though

Don't Xbox BC games load a lot faster though? Mass Effect for example. I think it's still bottlenecked in some way even if it's a bit faster than PS4.

Lmao I've been seeing a lot of posts on social media about this. I'm definitely gonna wait to expand my storage on my PS5 until it becomes a lot more affordable.
