Considering there is no way I'm paying $70 for a game,Sony just going to hand over the business to Microsoft an Nintendo. One poor decision after another. Hell who to say they won't still pull this for God of War? Sony lol I go from trying to pre-order a PS5 to now I dont care.
@BansheeNorn @BansheeNorn According to some and whom posted this the XBOX SSD is faster. "Microsoft's direct storage API is insanely fast and Sony can't use it. Microsoft also has a fast decompression method and better compression by roughly 2x.
Lastly because of the custom ssd controller Sony can't take advantage of the AMD boost in data transfer. Sony has to transfer data in 256Mb chunks while Microsoft can transfer data in any chunk size they need. So if they need 8 gigs of data it's transferred in a single 8 gig chunk but on the ps5 to get the same 8 gigs of data it would need to be broken into small chunks.
This transfer process is still fast as hell on ps5 but due to chunk size it's roughly 10% faster on the xbox. Combine that with direct storage API and 2x better compression and faster decompression"
So no SSD to buy for extra storage and can't transfer PS5 games to external HDD and no quick resume plus less space than XBOX SX. Plus XBOX SX last gen games boot up faster than PS5 will.
Question: Would the PS Plus 20 collection be considered PS5 games or still PS4 games? If they are PS4 games would my kid be able to log in his PS4 as me and get access to those 20 games if I had an active PS5? If considered PS5 games would they transfer to External HHD?
@Robinsad i agree, same situation as me. Will have one PS5 and family using it. Sony should of bit the bullet and gave us a 1Tb drive. That little extra space helps. Plus with the SDD going bad after years will kill the game collection fans. I know people with reg SNES still. 20 yrs no PS5 cause of bad SSD that can't be replaced.
For someone like me that would share the PS5 with my GF and my son, this sucks. Dont families share consoles anymore or everyone rich and have their own system? Guess I will wait and hope they put in a bigger SSD.
If this is just to stop people from camping out for a PS5 then I'm fine with it. But week after I hope they start getting sold in the stores if they get stock.
So if I needed a phone cover for a Sony cell phone then all those 3rd party companies should be shut down and only Sony and their allowed vendors should be allowed to sell phone covers. Hell good thing Sony dont make cars.
Just release for PC now and consoles later. Or ship game in PS5 cases and give us the big updates when its ready. Cause who going to wait for the PS5 version? Everyone is going to play it at launch. So move the PS4 version till later.
I might have to pick this game up again. Gave my copy to my son. For those whom are still playing it, is there a story line now and ending? I had the game at launch and lack of story mode bored me. And hearing how the ending was just starting over killed my hopes.
Since alot of PS5 games have a PS4 version and if price goes to $199 then i can see people picking up a PS4. Heck for Minecraft an GTA plus PSNOW it be worth it for a child.

Re: Sadly, You Can't Store PS5 Games on an External HDD
Seems Xbox is more ready than PS5 is. Course since people like me won't be able to find one till next year, I hope all of these issues are worked out.
Re: PS5 Doesn't Have Quick Resume, But Loading Is Lightning Fast

Re: PS5 Has 667GB of Usable Storage Space on Its SSD

Re: Sony: PS5 Launch Will Be Online Only, No Consoles Will Be Sold in Shops

Re: PS5's Limited SSD Storage Space Cannot Be Upgraded at Launch
What about the 20 PS plus games? I would if nothing else download them and I guess put them on an external drive. My internet is very slow so.
