sell it on offerup or facebook marketplace, local meetup only meet in front of a police station (they have "internet sales" parking spots) near your house, expect $700-800 cash only don't use cashapp/zelle/paypal/etc as they can get reversed. don't sell on ebay if you don't know what you are doing, you will get scammed.

worst case you can sell to StockX or one of the discord PS5 buying groups like Cashout Kings but thats like $650-700 or less after fees

I dunno what the market is on digital ps5s. Let’s assume there’s demand.

I dunno what options you have in northern eurocuckistan. I usually do eBay only because I hate dealing with ppl even though they fucking suck and take a good chunk of money. I dunno what the environment is where you live - Facebook marketplace is always great but I always concealed carry when I meet up to sell someone something. Also have to be very careful for elaborate PayPal scams on fb marketplace. Don’t meet near your house, always use a burner number and always block the person on fb after you sell it.

ALWAYS CASH IN HAND. I don’t know what you savages use for legal tender - iron ore, golden teeth, icicles, etc but whatever it is only take that.

This. I used OfferUp, met at the police station, and CCed just to be extra careful. Cash only, local. Went just fine.

All it needs is the removal of the retarded requirement to use the DualSense with games that don't require (or even have any at all) DualSense "features". Which basically means every PS5 game besides Astro's Playroom.

latest PS5 beta firmware finally supports M.2 expanded (internal) storage, up to 4TB. has requirements on size and should have a built in heat sink, more info here

How to add an M.2 SSD to a PS5 console

Find out which M.2 SSDs can be used to expand your PlayStation®5 console storage space, and how to insert an M.2 SSD into the expansion slot.
www.playstation.com www.playstation.com

PS5 and series X both let you move games from internal to a USB drive and back again (and it will path games on USB) so I'm pretty happy with that, have an 8TB drive on each of mine and just keep internally whatever game I happen to be playing right now. Makes it easier to stay focused and finish a game.

So basically your options are:

1. WD SN850
2. Samsung 980 Pro
3. Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus

All roughly $200 per TB. WD and Samsung seem to be a bit faster in PC tests, but Sabrent has a 4TB model while the others still cap at 2TB. There's a few other SSDs out there that meet the spec requirements but they have giant fucking heatsinks on them that are almost twice as thick as Sony allows. If you're really concerned about heat beyond what a thin metal heat spreader can handle, WD has a $250 ($430 for 2TB) model that has a heatsink on it that should still fit inside the PS5.

Personally I wouldn't screw around with beta system software on a PS5 either. Sony has enough problems with their release versions, and considering how hard it is to get them to authorize a RMA when something goes wrong I would not want to be in the position of having to contact support for an issue related to beta software.

i'd just wait until black friday if you really want one, by then people will run perf tests and figure out what ones work the best, put out the least heat, etc. plus i'd be REAL concerned about the heat issues, the PS5 has had a small history of thermal problems (random shutdowns etc due to fan spin control issues maybe) and adding more parts that were never tested at release seems like a terrible thing to be a guinea pig on.

they also will almost certainly package up new PS5 variants of these things. The xbox one though is so much better designed, just plug in the back not this weird shit where you gotta open up the system and fuck around

I'm curious on what availability will be like when this is out of beta. I'm considering ordering sooner, rather than later.

It's convenient, but it's also proprietary and so far only Seagate makes a expansion card for that slot, meaning the price has been pretty much pegged at $210-220 for a 1TB drive that's comparable in speed to something you'd buy for a PC at around $120/TB.

I like pretty much everything else about the XSX more than the PS5, but I'd say the storage expansion is a definite win for PS5 even if it requires a bit more effort to do.

Well Horizon Forbidden West will now inevitably get delayed to 2022 as I was able to finally get a PS5 from Target this morning.

yeah rumors have been circulating all week that Horizon 2 will get delayed to 2022



which pretty much leaves 0 PS5 exclusives for rest of 2021. Other than the PS5 remaster of GTA 5 lololol

We'll see how much this alters the SSD market with pricing as it firmly creates a tier categorization of "PS5 capable" or not for every hard drive.

It’s going to be way too high for a few months but I think we’ll see a lot of competition at the minimum PS5 spec point before too long

Yep. This kind of stuff is what makes companies go “oh shit look, more market space!”
