Great my slow ass cell phone hotspot internet will take me 3 days to download this update.
The PS5 is pretty awesome, even if most of the games aren't even out yet. |

That sucks, lol. It shouldn't be a huge update, file size wise like if you're downloading a digital game. Yeah, I'm loving how much faster the the PS5 is compared to the PS4. On my ps4, alot of times I'd get a black loading screen for 10-20 seconds when a COD match started. Now on PS5, I'm almost always one of the first in a new match. . I do have 1GB Fiber and I'm wired via ethernet, might have something to do with it also. |

im about to the point i wont buy one out of principal for letting all the bots have and resell the inventory.
limit 20 doesn't keep people from buying up all the inventory and reselling it. at least a bunch of the major sellers started blocking people who had scripts running spamming them every second or two. |

I dont think that's necessarily Sony fault. I blame the retailers. I still don't understand why places aren't taking pre-orders. This crap they do with a couple drops every so often is a pain in the ass. I tried for several months to get one using a PS5 Tracker, but of course no luck. I got one in my cart several times, but in the process of checking out, they were out of stock. |

I hardly use mine I got about 3 or 4 weeks ago. As I said before, my wife grabbed one for me. I didn’t ask for one or really want one. But a new Costco opened up in Naperville, and they had them stacked to the ceiling. Some bundle that came with a baseball game, headset, and charger. |

I want one.
Ive got a PS4 and its been a trooper However it has started randomly beeping. A lot. For seemingly no reason. I suspect its getting hot as its warm to the touch and the fan is going high speed. Hope it doesnt melt down until the price gets down a bit more. |

Finally. It should have launched with the capability unlocked. That being said, I haven't had any storage issues on my PS5 yet, since I only play one game at a time.
 I do download and play some of the free monthly games on occasion. But even then, I haven't ever come close to maxing out the standard 500GB. I don't know how people burn through that much space. |

It will also just randomly beep and power itself on. So you probably don't have anything to worry about. |

But maybe I'm in the minority with only having 1-3 games installed at any given time. |

Yeah, I don't know about using an M.2 in a PS5. My first thought is "why did they have the port and not have the feature working at launch"?
My follow up thought was "don't high performance/capacity M.2s have heating issues?" Then in the video she even mentions that you might need to add a heatsink, and I'm wondering how that would even fit inside the system architecture. I like M.2s a lot, and I'm not criticizing Sony for being forward thinking (but it's inexcusable to not have a feature like that working at launch. That would be like the PS4's USB ports not working at launch), it's just probably not the best option right now for the typical user. Once you step above 1TB, prices increase exponentially. |

I liked how Target did their restocks, and that's how I got my PS5. They made it so it was local pick up only. So you only had to compete with locals. Not sure if they're still doing that or what. But I was able to snag a disc version for retail last December and my sister scored one for my nephew on the same restock. Had them in-hand same day. It was great. |

I used the nowinstock tracker with the Telegram app. Got a PS5 disc version from Amazon about a month after I installed the app (shipped and sold by Amazon at MSRP) . I was awake and piddling around at 2 AM and got the notification. Jumped on Amazon and bought it. They stayed in stock for about 10 minutes after I got it. Apparently they had thousands of them in that drop.
