I guess it's the move to digital that prompts all this transferring, external HDDs, pre-installing tons of games. I have a bunch of physical games at the ready for when I find a ps5. I'll just hook it up, put in a game and play. I can only play one game at a time, play one while the next is downloading, or simply pop in the next disc.

The only time it took forever to get going was I think the WiiU which needed a 2 hour day one patch before you could use the system. Hopefully there aren't too many, long stability updates by the time I get one!

Congrats on your new system.

I didn't bother transferring anything from PS4Pro to PS5 because I was aware of the wait. I just redownloaded from the cloud before playing that particular game when the desire arose.

Yeah, it took me less time to just redownload everything from scratch than to transfer between systems. Fortunately, I'd taken a lot of time to download ALL my Ps4 games onto an external drive in the months leading up to the console's release. 

I did the transfer through the LAN cable. It was surprisingly quick. I was estimating it would have taken hours. It didn't even take an hour. All of my stuff transferred easily.

Congratz.

So one of us is the 10th million buyer.

Indeed we are!

I still have my ps4 so i didnt even bother to transfer most games to my ps5. I just transferred the save data and only download those games to the ps5 that i want to play at that moment.
