PlayStation 5: Thread 04

Do it! Don’t fight the urge!

Ugh. Maybe not then.

Does anyone else think the white case seems impossible to make clean? Something about it just looks dirty all the time. I try to keep my **** looking nice but this never does.

The red controller is a lot nicer “in the flesh” IMO, so would definitely hold judgement on the other colours until seeing them. A bit much for the console though because of its gargantuan size

For those that managed to pick up a ps5 this Xmas, there is a pretty good sale on PS Store right now.

Does anyone know if I expand the SSD storage on a PS5 will I still be able to use an external hard drive? I'm under the impression that you can only use 1 additional hard drive, but is this still the case if I have an extra SSD installed in the expansion slot? Basically I want the 825GB internal SSD, 1TB additional SSD in the expansion slot and a 1TB USB external HDD.

I want to keep using the hard drive for PS4 games as SSD is expensive storage! Having said that prices are coming down now so I'm ready to bite the bullet.

This article says you can use both - a few paragraphs in.

So while an external USB drive is nice for offloading older games or data you’re not using, an M.2 SSD lets you store and play more PS5 games. You don’t have to pick one over the other, though; you can use an external USB drive and an internal M.2 SSD on your PS5 at the same time. The only hard part is figuring out which SSD devices will actually work on PS5.

Legend. Thanks!

Legend. Thanks!

I'm at the stage where I'll need to increase the internal SSD due to stuff like FFVII Remake and Horizon being crazy big.

I've a 5Tb external drive with all my PS4 games on it too so to lose access to that would have been really poor.

Yeah definitely!

On the subject of FFVII remake, anyone that downloaded the PS4 version through PS+ can now download the 60fps PS5 upgrade for free as of yesterday. Originally it wasn't offered to PS+ owners just players that bought the full version.

[randombs]

Wow, so the built-in SSD plus an M2 SSD plus a USB drive? Nice!

[fishbowlhead]

Don’t forget you can still cold store stuff on a big external from the internal ssd for all games. Got to be a quicker solution than downloading everything all over if you don’t have an internal expansion ssd yet.

I'll take Dirt 5 and leave the rest

Deep Rock is supposed to be very good.

Yeah its not bad with a few mates...

P5 Strikers is faaaaaaaaantastic. They completely misrepresented it at the reveal. It looked like just Musou but with a P5 skin. It's actually Persona 5-2. It's a legit and complete sequel to P5 but the combat is real time (while still maintaining most/all of the features of the P5 combat). They really should have sold it it as Persona 5-2.

[wakka]

P5 Strikers sounds good to me, I'm happy to receive that. I'll give Dirt 5 a bash, too. The best month in a while for me personally.
