| Zippy6 said: Actually ludicrous. You can get a 500gb SSD that will work with PS5 for $90. $140 for 512gb? |
I do not believe they are the same type SSD. All SSDs are not made equal, I believe the SSD for the Series consoles are PCI-e gen 4 and those and their prices are actually pretty high. There is still a markup on the Xbox version but not at the difference you are saying.

Agreed but you're mainly paying for the convenience of a much smaller package and a plug n play product without the need of going down a laundry list of things to see if your SSD is compatible. I would've preferred if Microsoft gave you the choice of upgrading your storage. They could've had an nvme ssd slot players could've added themselves, while also throwing in these proprietary plug n play solutions. Because I do like the idea of literally just inserting what looks like a larger Switch cartridge and having to do nothing else. |
Choice add cost, and while its great for the PC market a closed system usually just goes one route and stick with that. At the end of the day, the storage solutions at this time are only for people who have some serious disposable money.

Yes the PS5 only supports PCI-E gen 4, that $90 is a gen 4 5000mb/s drive. The xbox uses a 2400mb/s drive.
It doesn't meet the PS5 recommended specs but eurogamer's article have already shown it's unnecessary and used a much slower drive than this with no problems.

Finally 2TB card. Will probably grab it after it comes down in price a bit to finally retire my external HDD. 400$ is just a bit too much.

Seems Jeff knows about Project Shaolin too.
This made me laugh, Hollywood cast incoming? |
As if current day Kojima is willing to do anything WITHOUT a Hollywood cast....
| Spade said: Can't imagine spending $400 on a fucking expansion... I'd rather just delete shit to be honest. Don't think I'll need to ever expand my storage. |
I'm the same. I have 10 games in there at the moment including some heavy ones around or even over 100gb like MCC and Forza. Still have just under 200gb left.
Enough space for 2 massive games or 4 average sized ones.
Who honeslty plays 14 games at a time... I'll consider the 512 if it gets cheap, probably about it tbh.
Rather spend my money on games and that sweet looking 20 year controller and fridge.
| Ryuu96 said: I do hope Microsoft doesn't oversaturate with MMOs though, with Bethesda they have ESO and then Zenimax is almost certainly doing another MMO then we have Mainframe doing an MMO and I believe Jez said Project Dragon was like an 'MMO-Lite' whatever that means. MMO's are just too much of time investments, Lol, if I spent most my time playing ESO for example, I wouldn't need Game Pass unless they give some awesome perks. |
I believe diversity within those MMOs will be the key. Just like diversity within the RPGs since MS has so many studios there as well. I still believe they need to crack out some Action RPGs like God of War and some story based AAA like "The Last of US" level to fully flesh out their portfolio of studio projects. Last but not least, I really hope they are at least doing Killer Instinct and its with experience Devs who can keep the gameplay of double Helix/Iron Galaxy including the MP. Would it be great if MS was able to hire or get some of the better creative talent from both Double Helix and Iron Galaxy to form a nice studio to do KI, I guess we can dream.

And It's not impossible for Foriegner to acquire a Japanese studio Netease is proof of that Netease is Chinese. Breakdown. There's no government laws in Japan. |
I didn’t realize that Grasshopper was up for grabs, I knew that they split into two different teams after Let It Die but I thought that they were still part of Gung-Ho.
Suda’s games don’t sell all that well but I love how ganes, I hope that Netease gives him funding and he is able to make more AAA games again.
Also yeah those claims that Japan doesn’t allow foreign companies to purchase Japanese companies is completely overblown, all you have to do is look at what happened to Nissan to see that isn’t true.
...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
