When the first amazing PS5 VR game comes out I'll fold like a wet paper towel.

Is this the time where Product 'Yr becomes useful?

Also, referring back all the way to the start where SSD storage reduced Spidey's 15s epic to a premature 0.8s, how many other games were installed and had been started? What I mean is, is it an SSHD or a genuinely decent SSD? And if it's an SSD, is this a preview, a review, or a whatever a review is called now we call preview models review models?

It’s a genuine SSD, Sony were clear about that. It’s neither a preview or a review HTH HAND

Gosh.

Even if a 1TB SSD is cost effective by the time it comes out, games are going to be even more absolutely massive by then. Hopefully they'll let it at least operate in a 'gigantic cache of usb3 disk' mode.

A lot of the reason games are big these days is that many assets are uncompressed to speed up loads. With an SSD they might be able to do some smart compression stuff to get filesizes down a lot.

It's exactly the opposite of that isn't it,? Processing power outstripped disk speed so much that ever more tricksy compression was needed to reduce load times, as well as optimised layout on particularly slow media like cd/dvd/bd. It's why required-install became a thing too.

You can get 1 TB of SSD for £85 retail, right now, on Amazon. Albeit moderately crappy SATA stuff, but still. It’s not, to my mind, obviously nonsense that that could fit within the bill of materials for a premium console being released for Christmas 2020 and who’s hardware would likely be sold at about break even for the first part of its life.

1TB isn't big enough.

It's not unreasonable to think that equals ten games.

I agree, there's a reason both of my PS4s have 2TB. That might be where it starts, though -- for cost reasons. And also future upsell reasons. Then a PS5 Pro can have a nice storage boost as well as other upgrades.

I wonder if it'll be a standard port like M.2 or soldered. My cynical money is on soldered.

As they presumably have physical space an m2 would make sense wouldn't it?

Massive supplier volumes of commodity pieces allow better pricing than playing 'just me Sony over here' games on the flash markets and buying a decade's worth of chips in one go, cheaper to dump a standard port already supported by the chipset and in the libraries onto the ps5 PCB than custom track it all, and it gives them freedom to chop and change supplier at a purely purchasing level on a day to day basis if they want instead of worrying about respins (given a set of performance specs for suppliers to comply with).

Oh, and that £85 is presumably £40 to Sony which is about £35 more than a 1tb traditional disk. Maybe it'll only be a £20 premium next year? It's still huge on the BOM.

I sincerely doubt it'll be more than £500. They don't want another PS3 on their hands.

My guess is that we're going to see something like a very powerful balanced £450 machine from Sony, and something like a £350 low end and £550 high end from Microsoft (with the main difference being a GPU aiming at 1080p on the low end, and 4k at the high end).

So it’s not called PS5 at all. It’s called PlayStation 5, which is commonly abbreviated to PS5.

I'm not a fan of the look; the mixing of black and white means it comes across like a prototype cobbled together from whatever parts they had lying around. As long as they release some colour variants that don't have such a stark contrast then whatevs. The actual design is fine though as it's pretty much the same as the current pad which is perfectly good.

That's a bit on the low side. My Xbox One X has 1TB, and I have to keep clearing space on it. Next-gen games are unlikely to be smaller. But I guess price is a big factor.

They covered this on the tech talk that I forget the name of, and decided this was the sweet spot. I think one of the factors is that patches are so huge at the moment because they need to replace huge chunks of data to keep up the data access rates. SSD eliminates that, so patches can be a lot smaller.

Well, SSD doesn't eliminate access times, but you know what I mean.
