Personally, I would have preferred both brands to offer another SKU with more storage at a higher price. perhaps £100 more.
The price of both consoles is at a good spot, but i'm not sure I can justify paying £200+ for extra storage.
Seriously. What is this?
All of these posts are like you didnt know that the PS5's SSD is smaller than 1TB? Why do you act surprised? Why do you act as you don't know that the space in specs is not what will be available for storage, when you do? This is getting weird.
Dang. That's gonna get eaten up immediately by just the PS4 games I was still playing through. Even worse if the storage is like the PS4 where the OS requires a huge amount of open space available to facilitate games updates for some reason. Hopefully we'll have some expansion options available before 2021 is over.
He kind of is though. He's also clearly wrong in his statement as there's has been a ton of negativity aimed at Sony these past few days.
Fair point - i think they just dont wanna offer consoles for more than 500 because of the optics. Its a bad look and instead we are gonna get bigger hard drives down the line instead of price reductions.
I understand being disappointed but its not like Sony/MS had multiple other choices and just went with these SSDs just so they can offer customers less space. Not too long ago tthe idea of SSDs in consoles was laughed off entirely, now suddenly people expect 2TB SSD at launch for systems that cost 500 and less.
I think the view was that the PS5 OS would magically be a fraction of the size of the XSX's.
Really? From what I've seen on Resetera ever since the Bethesda purchase, Sony can do nothing but wrong apparently lol.
I dunno man Demon Souls is around 60gbs. I would like it to happen.
Not bad. Average consumer only buys a few games a year. And they delete and swap if space is too much. Much like we're doing now.
MS claimed Series S versions of games could be as much as 30% smaller on the drive. Plus it should need less reserved space for quick resume stuff since it's storing max of 8GB per title instead of up to 13.5GB.
To the ppl that are "oofing" around... what did you expect all this time after the 825GB storage announcement, that the OS was going to be 10GB?
So clueless :'D

Mmm let's see, messaging that's not confusing and dishonest, furniture friendly design, more storage, backwards compatibility, save transfers, reasonable free upgrades and oh prefer less reliance on blind loyal supporters and more direct communication from them.
Although gaming for me has been synonymous with PlayStation all my life I can't turn a blind eye to this mess.
Not a problem for me since I'm lucky enough to be able to afford buying fast external storage addons and unlimited data. But this fucking sucks for people who can't spend hundreds on more storage on top of dealing with data caps.
That's... not really that small.
AAA games in general have been hovering around 100 GB for the past few years, we need them to be like 50GB or less.
It is, we already knew more or less where the final usable size would be. Right? What did you expect? Yes, smaller, still big, no news here again. I'm sure I will be able to keep 3/4 games at one time
Agreed. But people are over reacting here. Just that. We always knew the usable size would not be that much more then this.
If you need more you will have to buy another one
Agree with you. The size of the space doesn't bother me too much cause I delete stuff frequently but some members won't let you be disappointed in peace.
All eyes will be on Call of Duty when these new consoles launch.
Thankfully, the install size of the game is quite uncommon.

You forgot the 10% for the SSD management (like garbage collector) so with this we have:
XSX = 1024 GiB physical (1100 GB) = 920 GiB free for the system = 802 GiB free for the player (OS = 118 GiB)
PS5 = 768 GiB physical (825 GB) = 690 GiB free for the system = 664 GiB free for the player (OS = 26 GiB)
XSX = 1024 GiB physical (1100 GB) = 920 GiB free for the system = 802 GiB free for the player (OS = 118 GiB)
PS5 = 768 GiB physical (825 GB) = 690 GiB free for the system = 664 GiB free for the player (OS = 26 GiB)

Fud - just that fud when it comes to the XSX does not get called out as much.
It's almost as much storage as a 1TB PS4, it's fine, and it's like 100x faster. Sound capabilities are not unknown. No stock means it sold out fast. Higher game prices? Fair. No native 4k? Who gives a shit, good graphics are good graphics, and there is nothing more powerful without spending obscene amounts on a PC.
It will depend from case to case.
But still, it will be less, even if for a small %
I think Miles Morales has a slightly smaller size on the PS5 than on the PS4? Of course, you can't say anything definitive just from that one example.
The problem for me is I've seen web sites with more snap in them (and far more visual flare, or personality). But these clients sitting on the hardware itself struggling makes me wonder what the f they're doing.
Meh... I'm just going to use the same USB3 drive I used on PS4. I'll copy games that I'm playing to the internal harddrive. Worksheet take long....
To be fair I have a shit load of PS4 games I'm yet to play which should still be playable from that drive anyway... as far as I know?

Emulator files are small though, aren't they? Not that I think there's going to be BC further back than PS4.
So like a few GB? Lol.
Hardly much then. It's also not taking into account patch sizes either.
664 is fine for me. I still have a ton of PS4 games on my 1TB Pro and have yet hit max. I have ESO, GTA5, Evil Within, Cuphead, NBA 2k21, CoD2019/Warzone, PUBG, Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch and Dead by Daylight. I still have some extra space still. So I'm not so worried since I get rid of the games once I complete them.
Oh I'm so mad. This is only going to hold about 10 games and I play 50 a day!!!!!
Sarcasm aside, that's what cold storage is for. Nothing to see here.

Not entirely true if Hitman for example is going to be close to 200 GB. Same with CoD. Let's say you install both of those games as 'background' games that you often boot up to play a quick round, that leaves room for maybe 1 or 2 games you're currently playing through. Seeing as I'm a reviewer I often juggle between games, so this isn't a lot. I couldn't even install 10 AAA-games on my 1 TB PS4 Pro. 825 GB is really, really tiny for modern games.
Let's hope they recode a game like Hitman to make use of the SSD and get rid of any excess fat like repeated textures and NPC's since there are a lot of them in Hitman.
