GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, directly from Sony, etc. The PS5 edition is $39.99 as part of Sony's summer promo.

Music

I'm seeing $550 & $599.

Guess the discount is over as the promo code DaysofPlay23 shows invalid.

Discount on GT7. No discount on PSVR2, sadly

Same here. Q: If I swap out a 1TB for a 2TB, do I have to delete everything off the old one and then re-downloaded on to the new, or is there a better way?

Decker

Moving all the content to an external hard drive, then moving it back would take longer initially, but would be better especially if you have a data cap. Maybe move everything before bed, leaving your PS5 on and disabling auto-shutoff, and then move it back to the new SSD in the morning.

Solid idea--thanks.

I couldn't resist. Now have the 2tb in my PS5.

OldBoy

That fucking 4TB is crying out for me. Fuck, I so don’t need it either.

OldBoy

I’ll tell you what, if I don’t have to pay an arm and leg at traffic court tomorrow for a speeding ticket I got no joke almost 2 years ago. I thought they just forgot. I’m going to plead statute of limitations. 😜
But, if I don’t get killed, I’m getting the 4TB, but I dread the transfer process. I know I can redownload, but I’d lose my saves on games I’ve played, correct?

How do FPS games play on the PS5 vs XBSX? Any radical differences? I’ve yet to play one, but I’m eagerly anticipating. I would have done Immortals Aveum or wherever, but I only have EA on Xbox and 7.00 difference. We’ll see, but I know I love playing FPS on Xbox.

Music

Pretty much the same unless they take advantage of the Dual Sense controller.

OldBoy

Figured. Thanks Music. I’ll try one on PS soon enough.

Decker

You can try Doom Eternal (or Doom) or play Deathloop. Those are top notch FPS for the PS5, and use Dual Sense force feedback, that are free with PS Plus Extra tier.

OldBoy

I did download Eternal, but I think I played and finished twice on Xbox and Deathloop I nearly got to the end, but fell short and have no desire to return. It was fun until I got to the final loop.

Adam Tyner

If you can find Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War (or whatever it’s called) for cheap, I was impressed by its use of the DualSense, and the campaign was up my alley.

Your saves should be in the cloud; just make sure beforehand.
I just pulled the trigger on the 2TB. Checked & only have 300GB left so why not. That price is pretty dang good.
Good luck in traffic court.

OldBoy

if i do get the 4TB, would someone want to buy my 1TB? i'm not sure what it's going for, but i'll just have it to waste if i get...

OldBoy

how do you know if your saves are in the cloud or not?

Adam Tyner

Do you subscribe to PS+ (any level)? If so, you should be covered.

OldBoy

yes, premium.

Maxflier

All of the saves are on the hard drive that came with the console anyway, aren't they?

uteotw

You can check your cloud saves under the Saved Data setting. But yeah you shouldn't lose any saves. I didn't when I installed the 1TB and it worked pretty seamlessly.

OldBoy

no, we are talking SSD expansion.

Noonan

His point was, regardless of where the game data is stored, all game saves are stored on the main internal hard drive.
