Digital only with reduced space? What's the worst that could happen? 🤔
"Buy a bigger SSD!"
I guess just be glad they're not pulling a Microsoft where you'd have to buy a propriety NVMe drive.
You referring to the expansion drives that slot in the back and are hotswappable? Most expensive storage medium I've ever bought. Problem was, there was no alternative.. Internal storage ignored, ofc
Oh no, the SSD is soldered to the motherboard.
Though this is probably unlikely, I wouldn't actually be surprised.
PlayStation only went downwards since the PlayStation 3 change my mind
Can’t; you are objectively correct.
Is 825GB a common size? Is there any logic to where that being picked came from?
Theory 1: Because it is cheaper to manufacture.
Theory 2: It is custom made for the PS5's internal 12 data channels, allowing for faster read/write than normal.
They ~~buy~~make storage with 12 channels, and 1 Toshiba NAND chip @ 512Gib per channel. This means each SSD has 768GiB of storage, or 825GB. The max read bandwidth is 9GB/s.
math: 512Gib x 12ch = 6144Gib / 8 = 768GiB
For reference the Samsung 990 Pro 1TB has 8 channels, and 2 Samsung NAND chips @ 500Gb per channel. This means each SSD has 932GiB of storage, or 1,000GB. The max read bandwidth is 7.5GB/s.
math: (converted to Gib for uniformity) 466Gib x 2 chips = 932Gib x 8ch = 7456Gib / 8 = 932GiB
Key:
Gib = gibibit, 1024⁴ bits
GiB = gibibyte, giga/binary/byte, 1024⁴ x 8 bits
GB = gigabyte, giga(decimal)byte, 1000⁴ x 8 bits
Extra: Storage-based measurements are largely measured in binary bytes but displayed with the decimal abbreviation, hence my C: drive here was sold as 500GB, equal to 465GiB but Windows shows it as 465GB
Shareholder value vs executive bonus calculation.
Nope.
512+256=768, 768+64=832... minus 7 for system data and general overhead maybe? That's my best guess, but that's a really odd size.
I'm waiting for PS1 but priced like PS5 and called remaster.
Fuck Sony for making Europe pay for America's stupidy. And Microsoft, I think they're doing it too.
I mean it honestly looks more like a corporation using US tariffs for cover than being directly affecting it like the article was speculating.
I mean we'll have a better idea when the price is released in the US markets since current US prices for PS 5s have already increased for the US only.
🤔 The PS5 is 5 years old. I'll pass.
So pretty much 2-3 games like baldurs gate, helldivers, GTA V after accounting for the OS, with no ability for physical games. Idk who would buy this with that knowledge... it makes the disc version the only viable choice for a bit more coin
