It's gonna be hard going from 3tb on the ps4 down to 800gb. I think i can get through a year on that and then need think about getting one of those samsung 980s or similar assuming they get certified for the ps5.

Does PS5 do fast resume of multiple games like the Series X and S? If it was 3 current gen games that would probably take an additonal 20-40GB reserved for the OS depending on compression.
Depends heavily on the games. Big AAA games probably as few as 5, if smaller file sizes maybe 10. If you have a lot of small indie games a lot more, some of those are only a few GB.
Going to try to get a 4 or 5TB drive for PS4 and offloading the SSD.

At launch, that number steadily decreases with each patch 😂
Aren't game sizes supposed to be a bit reduced due to the SSD speed? Current games need to store things like texture assets multiple times because the HDD speed is so slow they have to repeat data in various places so it able to access it fast enough.
I'm sure I can remember Cerny or someone talking about it and used an example from Spiderman saying like the textures for post boxes had to be saved over 400 times in the files so that the HDD would be able to access it fast enough from anywhere when it needed it and with the PS5 SSD this kind of repeated data will not be needed so will reduce file size.

I think a cold storage external hard drive is the way to go with both Series S/X and PS5. I grabbed a 4tb this summer got exactly that.

Size is reduced relatively, they only have to store assets once instead of many times but the assets themselves are of higher quality.
I'll happily do what I've been doing for PS3 and current gen: delete what I've finished; keep what I love and smaller games. When that causes storage to fill up, I'll delete the larger stuff from what remains, and download it again if I ever want to play it. I may also but a external HDD. Limited storage isn't an issue for me. (Even if the option for external storage did not exist.)
Drastically depends on the games. I just checked my Steam library and about half of the games I currently have installed are under 1GB. Maybe 20% of my games are in the 10-25GB range (none higher) and the rest are in the 1-9.99GB range.
Have they talked about how updating works for PS5? Will it use the copying system like the PS4? - That would also mean having to reserve drive space equal in size to your largest game if you wanted hassle free updates (unless I've misunderstood how the PS4 system works)
