    Thanks guys, good to hear a few success stories. I'll probably give it a go myself at some point in the next few months

    Have you noticed any lag compared to the onboard SSD from Sony?

    No, it's blistering fast. I transferred 300gb from my internal when I got it, took 3 minutes. If you're only going for 1TB Amazon UK have the Firecuda 530 heatsink version for £103, this is pretty much the fastest rated ssd for PS5.

    Got a Corasair 1TB with heatsink included, extra storage is great, ever since I got GB broadband I was always running out of room 😂

    Looking forward to the RE4 demo. Was never a fan of Resident Evil until the RE2 remake which is one of the best games I've played in recent years. As I never played the original RE3 I didn't have issues with the content they left out. The quality of the games are top notch.

    I think the remake is on sale atm for a tenner. Does it still have that mechanic where you are stuck in place while shooting?

    I installed a WD Black 2TB with heatsink M.2 about 6 months ago. Absolutely no issues with it. Easy to install and don't notice any difference. Admittedly I put games I don't want to delete but also don't regularly play on the M.2 and usually just play games directly off the SSD (then when I finish the game, I might then transfer it to the M.2), so I don't play a lot of games directly off the M.2. But any time I have, never noticed a difference.

    Couldnt resist at this price. 685 euro including delivery.

    Hopefully they honour it as it seems like a mad price.

    They had a brilliant price on the C1/C2 last month and honoured the price so I'd imagine they'll do the same here.

    https://insider-gaming.com/ps5-pro-in-development/

    Insider Gaming sources have confirmed that the PS5 Pro is in development and could release with a tentative release date of late 2024.


    Insider Gaming previously reported that a new PlayStation 5 with a detachable disc drive is scheduled to release later this year. It's understood that this new model will phase out the current PlayStation 5 to cut down on production and shipping costs. In spite of the widespread reports, this is not the PS5 Pro model.


    This is "just the beginning of new hardware coming to PlayStation users this generation", said one source when talking about the detachable disc drive console.


    As for what the PS5 specs will entail, details are limited. However, a recently-published patent by PlayStation architect Mark Cerny (spotted by @Onion00048) suggests that Sony Interactive Entertainment is looking to "accelerate" ray tracing performance in video games.


    Just like with the PS4 to the PS4 Pro, we can generally guess pretty confidently that the PS5 Pro will have increased visuals, performance, and speeds. But as for leaked details, we'll have to wait until a later date to release those.


    Insider Gaming understands that the next generation of the PlayStation, the PS6, is unlikely to release until at least 2028. This would put the current generation console release schedule in line with its predecessors.

    I was only wondering last night when they might announce this. I'll be day 1 trading in. Was very happy with the upgrade from the 4 to Pro, so I'm assuming this will be a nice step up. Probably target 4K/120 RT.

    60fps, 4K, RT and a good trade in deal with Gamestop would seal the deal for me.

    Nice one @jj880

    Must be one big package!

    Took them nearly a day to pack it! 😆

    I got my own bargain on a €1400 worth Bravia for €700 last summer, but I am jealous of the OLED at the price, I won't lie!

    Yeah fantastic price, €200 less than what I got my 42 inch A90K Sony OLED. I got that reduced from €1699 to €1000 and then got a €100 rebate from Sony.

    Nice, I've that TV it's great. Playing God if War on it is amazing. But playing resident evil 7 or 8 is insane. The blacks are so black it really adds to the crushing atmosphere in those space spaces.


    It's also got Geforce now app built in. You get 6 months free too. You can get Xbox cloud going too in the web browser but I've found I lose controller connection so might need to play with it a bit more.

    This LG OLED CS6 would bring a tear te your eye. Like it was made just for PS5. Everything pops off the screen and 120hz on a large panel is smooth like butter. DHL delivery driver said they are getting truckloads of them regularly. If it goes on offer again I will repost here 👍

    Quiet thread is quiet. Can't tell if its April fools stuff, but Sony allegedly making a handheld but it uses remote play from your PS5.

    https://insider-gaming.com/playstation-handheld/

    Like a DualSense but with an LCD in the middle. Due to come out between the removable disc drive PS5 and the PS5 Pro (holidays 2024).

    I don't see the point of it. Instead, I'd prefer if Nintendo brought out a docked only Switch.

    The image is a Vita, not the new handheld. Going by Logitechs Xbox Cloud handheld it will be stupidly overpriced for what it is.

    Think that is a Vita because they don't have any images of it yet. I'm just not sure they get what people want in a Handheld...

    With the appropriate 'rumour only' caveat, I do reckon there is probably a market out there for a well-built streaming device that can play games without the need for a TV.

    But unless there's something exceptional about a rumoured PS-branded one (like a high-quality OLED screen), something like a Steam Deck - which you can stream your PS5 to and play PC games natively - is an exponentially better value proposition.
