I have all of that by pushing a few sliders in the options menu.

But now you can have it on your brown new PS5!

Just for once Sony, I'd like 10 seconds of this game without a camera cut.

The day you've all been waiting for is almost here: the #PS5 is coming 11/12 for online orders only! If you missed out on preorders, you'll have four chances to order throughout the day:

I know I've said multiple times that I'm not in a hurry to buy these new consoles, but for no discernable reason I've flipped in the last couple of days. Maybe it's because I'm having a hard time getting my hands on a new GPU, but now I'm going to be on the lookout for a PS5 as well.

Sony confirms the PS5 won’t support SSD storage expansion at launch

Blazing-fast storage but not a lot — and you’ll have to wait to add more.

The #PS5 OS introduces Game Presets. System wide preferences you can choose for performance modes, difficulty, camera view and Subtitles/Audio.

What a cluster fuck

[jaethos]

I loved the presets on the 360, I'm still disappointed every time I have to go into settings on the XBone to invert the Y axis.

I'm glad Sony is adding it.

 

This launch day online only orders nonsense is stupid. "You want a PS5 on launch day even after we totally screwed up pre orders? Congratulations, you can't have one! But, you might be able to order one to be delivered at some unspecified date in the future! Please be excited!"

[Remarkableriots]

You could buy every launch game and still have storage space left over so why would you need the expansion slot on day 1? 

[skillzdadirecta]

I just scheduled my appointment with Best Buy to pick up my PS5 

[TwinIon]

I'm going to assume that buying a PS5 on launch day will be just as fruitless as attempting to purchase one up to now.

...is this a real question? Some people like to be prepared ahead of time. Also, hope it doesn't end up like PC parts like the 30x0 nvidia series or the 5x00 AMD series... good luck fighting in the streets over a $200 sub-1TB drive so you can have a few more games installed.

PS5 uses standard m.2 SSDs for the storage expansion. The only caveat being that it has to meet certain standards to make sure it’s equal to the SSD the system comes with. I don’t know if Sony released the “compatible SSD list” yet.

Oh yes, I forgot. As it stands I assume only a handful of pricey SSDs will be compatible, so... Still $200, but in-stock... hopefully.

It depends what drives Sony says are compatible. Might be $180/tb, might be $300/tb

Amazon today switched my PS5 preorder to “Arrives November 12th” from its previous state of purgatory 

[crispy4000]

 

Review embargo for the console itself drops in 20 minutes.  Rumor is there's no straight up quick resume feature, just the play activity cards, and that Spider-Man and Astrobot are the only games that can be discussed.

I really dislike the drip feed from both MS and Sony on this.  Let journalists talk freely if you want the console reviewed.

[Mercury33]

I don't mind it.  Gives you something to look forward too each day.  As opposed to learning everything a month ago then just sitting around waiting.

So here comes a bummer: originally, P.T. worked on the PlayStation 5 via BC

Now, an.. unnamed publisher told Sony to change its BC, meaning: it cannot be played on PS5 anymore (you can't transfer it over from PS4 either anymore)https://t.co/Muy7XPkRXk pic.twitter.com/wvCdjkINHu

Sounds like if @best3444 wants to play RDR2 on a next gen machine he better go Xboxsex.

[crispy4000]

Seems like backwards compatibility didn't have much work put in to leverage the SSD.  It's more akin to the difference you'd expect from a PC SSD vs mechanical.  Microsoft definitely prioritized this more.

A comparison to the PS4:

  

All that said, Spiderman: MM loads into the game from the menu in <2 seconds.  Games built with the SSD in mind shouldn't have a problem leveraging it.
