Lol yeah, I was right back then, was also right about them using SSDs... though I wasn't expecting 5.5GB/s. And yes I am fully aware that the XSX is just flat out faster. I am super stoked thought about how close and powerful they both are. I am kinda bummed out that the greatest strength of the PS5 is something that we are likely not to see 3rd party devs fully take advantage of, but well... Thank God for Sony worldwide studios.

You were one of the pioneers of SSD talk if I remember correctly. I was a little skeptical of full blown SSD, but a smaller amount however on board seemed within reason back then. I did not think we'd see NVMe, at the speeds they are claiming, with around 1TB. User expandable third party NVMe as well? What? Out of all the ways I thought SNY would flex, this really caught me off guard.

I am really happy personally. I mentioned back then that I would much prefer they focus on super quick loading speeds, even if that meant a slightly weaker CPU and GPU. Slightly weaker GPU if they had to choose between either. Seems like that's darn near exactly what they're offering.

I'm going to have a hard time holding off for a couple years like I usually do this time around. I wasn't the biggest SIE fan until PS4, but after playing TLOURe and the Uncharted Collection, and seeing what they've done on PS4 with HZD, GOW, etc, the potential for PS5 has me drooling uncontrollably.

I honestly doubted the use of SSD's at $399 due to cost reasons.

But if the hardware price was higher, than it was more than feasible. Still stand by that.
