I'm glad I didn't preorder and saw this deal this morning, this + the gold points I had made it about $50 + tax for me

Anyone who's been eying m.2 upgrades for PS5 or just a new one in general, this Christmas shopping deal season will be the time to get one as prices are expected to rise next year with NAND memory being artificially limited by suppliers.

They already do Adding x3D chips to a dead socket type instead of encouraging people to upgrade to AM5 is certainly a strategy.

It seems to depend on who you're asking for the general acceptable defect rate for electronics, but let's use your 1-5%: even if the failure rate was 5x what we know from that one shop (which is who CableMod was sourcing with their issue btw), it's still under 0.5% and well under the industry standard.

They've already changed the connector about 4-6 months ago where it's not recessed as much and fully connects much "sooner". The biggest issue was how much it had to be pushed in compared to the previous 8-pin cables. EVGA's prototype card had the correct method that everyone should have used IMO: the plug was on the outer side of the card rather than the front: Ominious is still running a 3090 I think Stepee, Vic and I are the only 3 crazy enough to buy 4090s As far as I'm aware the 3090/3090 Ti didn't have the issue, but it also wasn't a true 12vhpwr connector (it doesn't have the sensor pins). And while I'm not excusing the shit design of the 12vhpwr cable connection, I also just want to reiterate that it being roughly 100/month is insanely low as the general "acceptable" defect rate for electronics is something like 10-15%, and it's honestly no worse than the defective vapor chambers on the 7900 XTX and XT or the terrible QC for the 7xxx Ryzen BIOS that were causing actual small explosions on some boards. It's all incredibly overblown, and there's only a handful of adapters/cables that can really "wiggle" (most notoriously CableMod's gen1 right angle adapter).
