Had you pre ordered it?

Yes. They said they wont have any extra stock just those with preorders.

Funnily enough, Argos are selling this as a PS5 SSD. €260 though :eek::eek::eek:

The Xbox 1TB is €240 so the price here doesn’t surprise me.

These are the fastest nvme drives on the market so expect to pay €200+ in the first year anyway.

I'll definitely be getting one of the NVME drives (let's face it the disk space is shocking on the PS5) but want sony to confirm which ones work without heat issues etc

Any chance of a copy/paste? I'm supposed to be on their mailing list but haven't got anything.

Yep. Goes back to this.



But, either way, it won't work right now.......it very well might do, when Sony get their stuff together, but its far too much of an investment (if buying for PS5 only, if going into a PC otherwise, not so much).
Its not far off the going rate, especially up against the Seagate Card for the Xbox, so even when Sony update the console, its a significant outlay, but it's going to be a necessary one IMO. Pricing will drop overtime, when more manufacturers provide options, but its not a concern right now. Just a bit of care with installations, and ideally keep the PS4 games external.

Doubt there will be heat issues, but yeah it'll be best to just juggle the space for the first 6 months (complete educated guess) until the internal drive expansion capability is enabled on the PS5.

Has anyone received an email about the Smyths Click and Collect for tomorrow?
I haven’t gotten any notification and the money hasn’t been taken from my account yet.

No, but the last mail I received said

'You will receive a ready for collection email and SMS when your order is ready for collection'

So that implies that we won't hear from then until tomorrow (or end of business today)

Yeah just saw this too, and I’m not surprised. I think this year will probably have most retailers announcing when they will release additional stock to pre-order and everything will be online or click and collect.

I still think there will be some availability between now and Christmas in most places, as there are bound to be cancelled pre-orders/failed transactions etc over the next few days.

It looks like its from their Smyths Gaming newsletter.

I would go for https://www.gamingpcbuilder.com/product/samsung-980-pro/ when this is activated on PS5

Amazon dispatch email came through about 5am, disc version.

Also says they're going to email me a password I have to tell the delivery driver which i thought odd.

Will they also teach you a secret handshake - Achievement unlocked - here's your PS5:P

Password is "Send it to RedXIV, cheers bud"

Since it mentions delivery I would say its only going out to those who have home delivery booked. The C+C guys don't need it, we know we're sorted tomorrow.

Never had that before, in all my years ordering from anywhere.

Maybe I'm joining the freemasons!

I got the email and im down for click and collect. I'd say it's just general email if you signed up for PS5 info.

My Amazon delivery date now is tomorrow. It was 21st-24th.

Im just hoping they are all sitting in Athlone, on pallets, and pallets are going to be scanned all at once and sent out. But yeah, leaving it a bit tight. :pac:
