That's Sony, not MS.Is this the first time you've ever owned electronics? This is literally the way it always is. Expensive proprietary storage is half the reason the Vita failed.

Biggest laugh is the same Eurogamer article that revealed the price-point has a little stinger to say that the PS5 upgrades in the same way... for balance of course, and not damage-control! LOL
And people still wonder why they get side-eyed for being partisan.
dont you replace the drive like on the ps4?What do you mean by "swapping out the drive"? If you put a 1TB drive in PS5 it gets added to the internal 825GB embedded storage.
Price in the UK, £219 same as in the US, but in £... Fucking joke!
£159 would be "ok" but £219 is a joke.
Staying with external normal HDD.

Gamepass doesn't FORCE YOU do download all the games on the service like a hoarder. Some people are going to have to change their mindset from a squirrel with it's cheeks full, to having only the games on hand they ACTUALLY want to play.
While it is absolutely overpriced even allowing for mark-up, it actually isn't a rip-off though MS don't employ the same "fairness" as they did with console prices.
So £220 minus 20% VAT = £176. £176 converted to US$ = $224. We are $4 more before the dreaded VAT/taxes.
Not as I understand it. The flash chips for the 825GB are soldered to the motherboard just like the RAM chips. Then there is a slot or bay where we can add to it.

learn something new every day. then why wouldn't they go down the route Microsoft has, seems odd to put it behind a few screws dont it?
Please tell me you did not have issues installing an NVME SSD. It is easier.
We actually have no idea where the bay Mark Cerny talked about is. None of the pictures we have seen show anything like a bay unless it is extremely well hidden. I can't believe it would require the removal of the top/bottom lid. That would lead to many broken cases as I see no screws.....
I could literally buy a Xbox Series S and use that as a storage, plus I would have an extra controller, what the hell?
Yeah that argument is toast. The idea that anyone needs to have dozens and dozens of games ready to play at any time is stupid.
Have they demonstrated how to expand this yet?Sony NOT using proprietary expandable SSDs makes me happy
No, only said itHave they demonstrated how to expand this yet?
Lol 270€? That's 315$!!!

1tb will do me fine with the console because who needs more than 10+ games installed at any given time.
Brings back memories of PS2/GC memory cards and 360 HDDs. I don't think this is that bad, but I'm definitely going to try to stretch the internal storage as far as it will go lol.
what do you make out of 270 euro.. xbox series S cryPrice in the UK, £219 same as in the US, but in £... Fucking joke!

My post was literally moved from another thread that didn't have "1TB in the thread title" and the article was in a language i didn't understand, that's why i asked because the price is outrageous.

You know you can use external HDDs as cold storage for both, don't you?Jeeeebus. The Samsung one that "supposedly" meets Sony's specs is overpriced to hell too. Thank god I'm going physical. I can manage games storage more easily til these drop in price significantly.
This is only around a $10 markup over a unhoused PC equivalent. Why are people making a fuss again?
The Samsung SSD 980 pro is available for 210€. Nearly 7GB read speed and also a five years warranty.
Seagate and MS are ripping people off. But this was expected with their custom solution. Like Sony did with their vita cards.
because if you want it to be played again you can do it instantly. I see the second HDD being used to transfer games to and fro will be useful with these pricesSeriously. How many games do people play in a week? 2 or 3 for most people i'd guess.
If I last played Doom in 2018 and don't currently plan to play it again anytime soon, why do I need to have it permanently installed on my system? I've only ever the internal memory of a 1TB PS4 Pro. I've sometimes had to do some management (and that was because I was regularly trying games for cheap via a rental service) and it was no big deal.
I was still able to have plenty of AAA games on there at one time plus a load of much smaller indie titles. I usually get a game, complete it once or twice and then move onto something else. Sometimes I might have two games going like that at once. Add in one or two multiplayer games I might play every week. So that's 4 titles maybe.
In that very typical scenario where does the need to be able to instantly play any one of 20 AAA games come in?

It is much worse than with the 360 HDD. That was a £210 'core' console and a £70 HDD. This is a £250 console and a £220 SSD.

Had to google it and apparently £220 = $280, so yeah that's terrible. For $220 in US I think it's around $50 too much, which is still bad but not terrible.
