@luisterr That will depend on the read and write speeds of the SSD. Keep in mind you can ONLY play PS4 games via an SSD, for whatever reason PS5 games are not supported that way
@Mostik It installs from the disk to your hard drive, same as PS4 games, then it just uses the disc as an authenticator anytime you boot the game up. Of course, it will still download updates, but the majority of the game, if not all of it, should be on the disk. Depends on how much capacity they decided to utilize.
@Profondo That’s awful, and I’m glad you read about it before going in blind. Hopefully they change that quickly, there’s nothing artistic about it. Doesn’t need to be there.
Hey Sammy, weren’t you asking me in another thread about Sony having stock they aren’t selling? Here’s your answer, cause if they ran out of systems there wouldn’t be more trucks getting robbed. They can make as much as they like, and store or sell as much as they like.
@Flaming_Kaiser Unfounded? So is there an abundance of PS5 consoles? These news sites seem to keep saying they are scarce, did you miss something? You guys will reach for anything, at this point. What does Trump have to do with console shortage? Well, besides his insane import duties, I suppose that could impact cost, if anything.
@HammerKirby3 I’ll play my tiny violin for the multi-billion dollar company later. No, Nintendo didn’t invent purposeful scarcity, that’s a ridiculous claim. But they sure did make it popular again, clearly.
@WinterschneeFee With the dance game? Been there and done that, I played for 15 years and won competitions. I think I earned a little bit of trash talk for this noob lol
@LiamCroft My point was addressing the companies two-faced “Japan is important to us,” statement, as stated in the article. They need actions, not words to placate the public. If Japan is important to them, they wouldn’t short them on the hardware.
@DonJorginho You don’t understand sales, of course they are stifling them to increase demand. Keep defending Sony, though. Just another droplet in the echo chamber. Sony doesn’t care about the pandemic like we do, they only care about sales.
@HammerKirby3 They are a multi-billion dollar company. If they really want to make something happen, they will. We aren’t talking about carpenters or some similarly slow process. So many corporate shills this morning!
@get2sammyb Nintendo set a trend with purposefully making their hardware scarce to drive sales. Sony picked up on it, like any good competitor would. I would like to see sales tactics like that go away.
@doctommaso Right?! It’s very, very rare that the modern ones are actually any good. A couple examples like Dead Cells or Hollow Knight, but even HK I just couldn’t get into.

@sanderson72 I mean it’s still being actively developed for, hopefully they make that!
Re: The Elder Scrolls VI Appears on Official PlayStation Blog's 'Most Anticipated Game' Vote
@sanderson72 I’m pretty sure Sony sold the IP, and they just released an expansion for Everquest this month. I’m shocked it’s still around!

Re: Hype Intensifies as PlayStation Tells Us to Tune into The Game Awards
No, I will not watch this bad show with advertisements of games coming out. I’ll wait for the imminent blog post with the follow up.
Re: The Game Awards to Feature 12 - 15 New Game Reveals, AAA to Indie
@ArcadeHeroes A humble dream, to be sure.
Re: The Game Awards to Feature 12 - 15 New Game Reveals, AAA to Indie
Are we so starved for announcements that we are relying on the freaking Game Awards now? Lol
Re: The Elder Scrolls VI Appears on Official PlayStation Blog's 'Most Anticipated Game' Vote
The next game in the “here, you guys fix it” series!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5, PS4 Preload Begins, 102GB Total File Size
@Lobbo95 Good catch, and the site already has an article with the warning.

Re: Feature: Our PS5 Predictions for The Game Awards 2020
I don’t care how many rumors you spin up, I’m not watching this stupid show again.
Re: Gangs Are Raiding Lorries to Steal PS5 Stock
@Hyperluminal That’s frightening. I’m assuming your friend made it out alive?
Re: Gangs Are Raiding Lorries to Steal PS5 Stock
@malbhet “The gangs here mainly keep to themselves,” lol, just lol

Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@Party_Cannon An easy google search shows that SARS was nicknamed bird flu, you’ll have to take it up with whoever posted that piece of information.
Re: Feature: Our PS5 Predictions for The Game Awards 2020
Super Mario Bros. 2 babeeeeeeeeeeee
Re: The Muppets Will Present at The Game Awards Once Again
I would watch it if the whole show were muppets.
Re: Dragon Age 4 Confirmed for The Game Awards, Better Not Be More Concept Art
@ShadowofSparta That's the joke : )
Re: Dragon Age 4 Confirmed for The Game Awards, Better Not Be More Concept Art
Hopefully it’s on the same level as the Elder Scrolls 6 reveal.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@JRRR92 Hahahahahah......
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@anon_pel222 Thank you! Heh.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@JRRR92 I’m the smartest one here, you’re all stuck in the echo chamber.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@Number09 You might not be aware of the idiomatic phrase, “to play a tiny violin,” which is fair.
Re: Gal Gadot, Brie Larson to Present at The Game Awards 2020

Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@StonyKL Not a flat earther, lmao. Vastly different topics, my dude.

Re: One of Demon's Souls' Hardest Bosses Has Been Beaten Using Just a Dance Pad
@WinterschneeFee You’re misusing that meme to protect some loser playing a game with a walker.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@djhegzy Why was SARS nicknamed “bird flu,” then?
Re: One of Demon's Souls' Hardest Bosses Has Been Beaten Using Just a Dance Pad

Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@LiamCroft That seems less relevant to the topic, doesn’t it?
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@djhegzy I think the cause of covid is a mutated strain of the flu virus, that’s about all the info we really have on that. Stop being asinine.

Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@nessisonett What does Trump have to do with people disliking games censorship? That idea existed years before Trump was in office.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@DonJorginho Save the salt, my popcorn is already overflowing. What a shill, you work for Sony or something?
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@get2sammyb Yes, the demand is there. Give the people what they want. Why is that hard to understand?
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@DonJorginho You don’t understand sales, of course they are stifling them to increase demand. Keep defending Sony, though. Just another droplet in the echo chamber. Sony doesn’t care about the pandemic like we do, they only care about sales.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@MrMetroid Not random sales numbers. Withhold information. Again, the threat of justice does not guarantee that people will choose to be honest.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@LiamCroft Of course I recognize a pandemic, I don’t think it impacted Sony as much as people want to believe.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@deathaxe The threat of justice doesn’t always prevent criminals from committing crime or being dishonest.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@get2sammyb Yes, please stop exacerbating this.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@HammerKirby3 They are a multi-billion dollar company. If they really want to make something happen, they will. We aren’t talking about carpenters or some similarly slow process. So many corporate shills this morning!
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@themightyant They can report whatever sales figures they want, what makes you think they need to be truthful?
That’s my point, they sold everything and didn’t make enough, thanks for literally stating what I mean.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
@get2sammyb Nintendo set a trend with purposefully making their hardware scarce to drive sales. Sony picked up on it, like any good competitor would. I would like to see sales tactics like that go away.
Re: PlayStation Boss Reiterates Importance of Japan As Core Fans Get Antsy
More talking through the sides of their mouths.
Re: Gal Gadot, Brie Larson to Present at The Game Awards 2020
@RudeAnimat0r Would you rather watch the game awards or play Cyberpunk?
Re: Gal Gadot, Brie Larson to Present at The Game Awards 2020
I’m pleased to announce that I have never heard of either of these people.
Re: One of Demon's Souls' Hardest Bosses Has Been Beaten Using Just a Dance Pad
If you think that’s impressive, you need to get out more! She even holds the bar. Loser.
Re: Soapbox: The Conversation About Games Moves Too Quickly
