Going to be rude here because this kind of shit annoys me to high hell.
I'm not in retail. That said, I didn't ask for you passive slights toward my job, life or anything else you fucking goofball. And I'm sorry for getting pissy, but some of you get a stick up your ass where you get way too personal with others over some bullshit. You don't fucking know me, my history, or my knowledge. I find the console less of a value than you because of the storage. I've owned PlayStations since the original, so it's not like I hate sony. I'm allowed to feel how I like regarding value. That's all. If you don't care about my purchase habits, stop pretending you know something about me after reading a couple posts and move the hell on. Less shocked rather than simply thinking it's poor. I assume I'm allowed to say how I feel about storage capabilities of consoles going forward without further bullshit?

Do we have a thread on this, at least for Ps5? It doesn't do proprietary shit right? You just have to ensure the SSD you buy is fast enough?
Not bad I guess. I can work with that. Think I'll be going big external HDD for old ps4 games that don't benefit from the nvme speed.
Games like Monster Hunter World will be on the internal for sure.
Edit: also have a spare SSD so that will also be used as external.

It's not proprietary but at launch there aren't going to be a ton of options from what I've seen.
Bummer, curious to see if the extra SSD speed is worth the ~150gb difference between the XSX
Should be enough for me though, unless stuff like Forbidden West is 200gb...

Im confused, what difference do you think games going more Digital makes?
You were rude to me first after you admitted to a mistake. And was glad to tell me about how you spew corporate BS "to your customers", you invited that. You're right, I don't know and don't wanna know you.
Ignored
Why I really want to start seeing the size of these next gen downloads play out on a larger scale. Especially with split downloads for single player, etc.
Yeah no matter what you're installing to the SSD whether it's physical or digital.
Pathetic! And I say this as someone who is still getting the digital version and went full digital 2 gens ago.
I dunno the last I heard was Cerny saying it'll be available later this year. I think it was the same type that's used in the ps5.
but I think I'm going for an external SSd if I can't get what's needed. Hopefully someone else here knows more.
Thank you.
Love when receipts get posted, lol.
I honestly don't know how anyone is upset about this news. We've known the drive was 825GB for months now. Did you expect 825GB or something?
Discs are still installed to drives though ? What difference does it make ? Going digital means you don't have change discs everytime. The install size remains the same.
You paid 399 for this and you're still complaining? fuck me
I think this only really became an issue when mandatory installs became a thing. To think, memory cards were sort of an inconvenience to purchase if you didn't have much extra money as a kid, but they were at least within reach of most people, and the PS1 memory cards only held 128 kilobytes of data. Those were, what, $20 or so? They obviously allowed for a comfortable mark-up, but it's worth putting this into perspective to consider why there are compromises with respect to storage on these new systems. To give us another terabyte, we'd be looking at $100-150 more per console if Microsoft and Sony didn't want to take significantly more losses. But it's not as though no longer having to install games would solve problems, as we'd need faster, more expensive media at that point, and you wouldn't be anywhere close to the speeds of these SSDs in those cases. Rather than spending more money on games because of "rising development costs" or whatever, we'd instead be spending more money because of media costs again (just as we did with cartridges) AND the rising development costs.
Wll thats like double what launch PS4 had right? Atleast they are going in the right direction lol but totally worth it for that SSD goodness. Cant wait!
User Warned: Console warring
Something tells me that they won't have it, or it will be severely compromised compared to what Microsoft offers. Which just makes Sony look more pathetic in comparison.
You'll be waiting for a few years. ;_;
For the games I want to play, the internal storage should last me a few months before I fill it to near capacity.
I assumed the PS5 had 1TB and Sony was marketing the available SSD space. I cant believe how little space it has.
Preaching to the choir honestly. Not asking for 2tb, not trying to convince anyone space is free. I fully get that there are compromises despite what folks keep assuming, but I'm ultimately unhappy with the compromises made regarding space. For me, that makes the system less attractive. Probably my first time even mentioning it on the forum tbh. I didn't think it'd be a wild opinion. Not mad at them, I'm just going to wait for storage prices to drop in the future. If game sizes are actually lower come release, my opinion could change at that time. Not giving anyone who feels it's enough any static as these opinions obviously vary from person to person.
When do companies market the usable space and not the overall size? I'm with you in that they should, like how prices for American products should include tax, but that's not what happens.
Maybe one person quoted me, but a lot were expecting over 700, so I can understand how some people are disappointed. I initially expected about the amount we're getting but I was swayed by all these other folks saying higher amounts. It's fine though. Expandable storage will become a necessity for all next gen consoles
Well Damn, when trying to install games on your system you're going to have to make a hard decision which games you want to keep on the storage.
