Ah so to expand Xbox series x storage it has to be a derive specifically made for it? Makes sense :lol:

To expand storage on both you can use an external HDD or SDD. To play you can use the proprietary Xbox one or the less accessible PS5 one that has more options. Price wise they'll be about the same.

The Xbox contract with Seagate is for 2 years I believe so if the tech gets cheaper than now they may well open it up to other manufacturers

You're thinking of a plug and play drive. The one where he opens up in the video is for an extra internal ssd is it not? Or am I misunderstanding something here? Won't be able to play ps5 games off the external plug and play drive.

Yeah but those internal ones can be made into external hard drives dead easy. I have one for my og Xbox One, in a case, then plugged in by USB.

So is this ps5 slot allowing new games to be played off it, or just for storage to switch on to the proper drive?

It might do, I dunno. But they said a while back external drives will only be for storage, and I don’t see the difference if it’s fast enough, unless the usb is limiting it.

Either way, it sounds like it’ll be the same price as the Xbox additional storage. Maybe a bit cheaper depending on which are ok to use.

To be fair Sony did poke fun on them for how Microsoft wanted you to not share the games and be online for your single player games as well.

It's just that they choose this to respond with :lol:

Cringe...
 
Don't worry, I'll be cringing all night into my sweet gamepass offerings while you're enjoying your individual games that retail at a recommended price of £69, unless you buy them at a discounted rate.
 
I went through a phase of thinking custom controllers were awesome. Then I turned into an adult.

Honestly though, they're ok, but I hate how they don't match my console :lol: I prefer whatever controller matches the console these days.

Where did your post go asking @Alock1 to prove the expandable ps5 ssd will cost similar to the official Xbox one?

Cringe that you deleted it once you realised it was true.

I replaced it with this one, because I felt like it. You're not very good at this are you?
 
Is that what happened? I wondered why I had an alert that didn't work :lol:

Poor afro

Finally thinking he has a point other than constantly repeating “but where’s the exclusive footage” then having to retract it :lol:

We all know that comment is unlikely to hold for long with 23, soon probably 25+ first party studios.
 
Blah blah blah.... Still no XBox SX exclusive gameplay footage worth talking about. Come back when you have some.

All bark no bite...

A second PS5 compatible SSD has been confirmed.

ResetEra Link

Comparison to Series X storage

CategorySeagate Storage Expansion Card (Series S|X)SN850 NVMe SSD (PS5)
Price (1TB version)£219.99$229
Proprietary/Non Proprietary*ProprietaryNon Proprietary
Read Speed2.4 GB/s7 GB/s
LightingNoneRGB
Storage Size Options1 TB500 GB | 1 TB | 2 TB

*Proprietary = can only be used on the named product.

Not bad, and price will go down quicker on the storage for the PS5 than the Series S|X. Will probably get a 2 TB one in a couple of years when they get down to around 200.

It doesn't? Surely not still working on AA batteries is it?

Yes because for many that's preferable

There was a thread on Resetera recently that I found amusing. It said 'lets settle battery Vs rechargable pack debate once and for all' and when you opened the thread the vote was exactly 50/50. Brexit close.

That’s pretty surprising in a society as lazy as ours. Rechargeable is so much less effort.

As someone who has both PS4 and Xbox, the thing about the Xbox is options. Disposable, rechargable batteries, or buy a plug and play kit (which for £15 gets you the same setup at PS4)

I was never sat close enough to the tele to charge the controller so rechargable batteries that I could swap in were my choice as I could stay wireless all the time.

Plus, my personal experience is that my dualshock controllers batteries wear with time. The Xbox with rechargable lasts way longer for me than PS4, and I've got to the point with 4 dualshocks that they can't work at all unless plugged in. Which is infuriating.

I know many will have had a different experience but that's mine. With the last 2 ive only charged by the console and made sure not to leave them plugged in incase I was managing them wrong but the same has happened.
 
I'm glad Sony cares enough about the environment by not giving the option of disposable batteries.:nono:

That vote is just fanboys Vs fanboys. I honestly find no sense in the AA batteries thing.

You can just plug a controller into a wall outlet, so the length of wire isn't really an issue, even then, you get stupid long wires.

Although you're right about the battery charge getting smaller over time. Can't say I've noticed it too much tbh, but I know it'll be there. I feel it's hard to judge because it appears some games use the battery faster? Not sure if that's just me being mental though.

I currently use batteries in Xbox elite controller, but that's because me charge kit got ridiculously hot i thought it was going to burst in flames :lol:

I'm now dreading the current batteries dying because I don't have any more and CBA to goto shop, I can just plug controller into the socket and use it that way though I think?
