Gaming PlayStation 5

I got the 1TB version last year. It actually is extremely easy to install, once you get the lid off. Took me more time to remove the lid than it took in actually installing the SSD.
:lol: nice, thanks! Will get round to it at some point no doubt. Sooner rather than later as I've downloaded CODMW3 and seen my storage decimated!
 
Think that's the same one I bought dude. I havet got round to even opening mine yet, have you? Easy to install? All working ok?

Yeah, I was the same. Very easy to install but had to watch like two videos of people taking the lid off to make sure I wasn't going to break the panel.

It has gone up to £162 now which is a high but does go down to around £129 a fair bit. Not sure when it will next go down to that much as there were reports at end of October that Samsung is going to increse its prices so others may follow. I'll let you know if it goes down again
Hmm there’s the crucial one that’s under £130 which I may get.

Likewise - the noise it made when the lid came off really scared me too.

Installed my new 2TB drive yesterday and had the same experience. Tried for at least 5 minutes without success and feeling like I was going to snap the thing, and then I must have gotten it right because the thing came off without any fuss all of a sudden. Same experience putting it back on tbh.

Throwing a dozen or so games on the drive after felt great - I can't wait to spend my time booting up a bunch of games for 30 mins apiece instead of actually getting stuck into one :D
 
I'm using the excellent processing power of my PS5 to play Dark Cloud 2. It looks amazing.

Is this through Premium or did you purchase it? Just wondering if there's a difference, like maybe you get save states via Premium but not without it? I've always wanted to try this game.

Through premium. It just emulates a memory card for you
 
Need a new game after finishing Spider Man 2. Alan Wake 2 or Robocop? Alan Wake being download only is a bit shit though.
I'm the same. I played Spiderman miles morales and Spiderman 2 back to back, was :drool:

I've got horizon 2 downloaded, but open to whatever next
 
It's always annoying when a Pro version comes out, I've managed to resist them so far though.

It definitely won't be a "4K ray tracing monster" considering that GPU's costing £1,200 aren't that and it uses an AMD chip. It'll be interesting what they do attempt with it though.
 
I thinks it’s early given that games have really only just started being developed for the PS5, rather than PS4 and PS5.

Hopefully it doesn’t become as ridiculous trying to get hold of one!
 
I’ve never given a single crap about ray tracing. Never worth the performance hit, I have a decent PC and don’t think I‘ve bothered with it once after the initial release.

The pro will do incredibly well with GTA 6 coming out. They released red dead 2 around the time we got the One X and it was incredible on that system
 
Pointless.

I'll get it day 1 almost certainly.
 
Glad they’re improving the loading times. I’ve been really sick of waiting 6 seconds for it to cold start and load a game.
 
I don’t even think I’ve even played a game yet that’s pushed the ps5 that hard?

This thing will probably cost €800 or something silly.

I mean considering that you have to pick between quality and performance on many games it must be pushing the PS5 hard

With the Pro you would probably have quality level graphics but at 60fps not 30.

Anyway, I think I'll get this for GTA6 which I assume will be 30fps on PS5

A fair point but I guess I just remember playing games on my ps4 that seemed to push it to the absolute limit of what it could do whereas it feels like we haven’t gotten to that point yet this generation? I mean only recently publisher (including Sony) have stopped releasing games on the ps4 too.

I had to laugh at that too.

Loading times are actually too good these days, can't even nip for a piss, or to make a cuppa, grab a can, grab a snack and you're loaded in and dead ffs

Quality time :cool:
 
Quality time :cool:

The worst "snipers" anyone has ever seen, end up running around a map with machine guns and pistols trying to escape zee Germans who spotted us. Eventually escape, to see an enemy and be like "I can snipe him" miss the snipe by a mile and repeat the process. :lol: those games are massively underrated
