Surprising but also not a huge issue immediately when there aren't that many games to have to juggle. Perhaps they'll enable that feature at the same time that they enable the M.2 port. I'll be keeping all my PS4 games on a USB SSD anyway.

Depends on how many ps4 games you'll be playing, or if you're hapoy swapping ps5 games between them if allowed.
Nothing for now as I don't think I'd fill up the space on the main SSD
I'll be taking the 1TB SSD out of my PS4 Pro and using that via USB, but I wouldn't be buying anything until a) you actually need it, and b) there's been more testing done of the various options available e.g. SATA vs NVMe over USB. Hold off as long as you comfortably can, the costs will come down and the options will increase.
I'm tempted to get a wireless headset for the first time ever. I have Fidelio X2 headphones with a Vmoda mic so it would work out the controller, but not sure what quality will be like and I kind of like the idea of no wires even if I doubt they will match the quality of audio I'm used to. Will be a steel series 7x if I do jump as I'll have both consoles.

Works on both.
The main issue is I've had my PS4 since launch so have around 40 physical games and probably even more digitally in the store. I'm already constantly swapping out stuff on my 1tb PS4 Pro!
It's there a big difference in loading times when using a hard drive Vs an SSD via USB to run PS4 games?

Finally got time to watch some of the reviews, looks like the mic mute button on the controller might mute your mic, regardless of which mic you're using? IE it mutes it at a system level, not just the mic on the controller.
That's a nice touch if so.

Good read as was sixthaxis, I also watched ign video review
Totally hyped for this
just annoying we have to wait until 19thGood read as was sixthaxis, I also watched ign video review

It’ll be 19th November 2021 for me at this rate.
It's more that I don't want to spend hours, or overnight, re-downloading a game I want to play again. Some of these games are 100gb+ downloads.
Maybe I'd be better just buying a 4-5tb external hard drive so I can back up or run every game I own.
Why ? No pre order ?
No, I don’t like this limited stock, mad scramble situation. I wait till about Easter usually. I’ve already waited 87 years for next gen.
Plenty of reviews and information revealed today.
I am still very hyped for the PS5 and cannot wait until 19th.
If anything has taken the gloss off things for me it's the lack of Dolby Vision support. Whereas I knew we weren't getting it for games, I couldn't and to be honest, still cannot understand why it wouldn't be supported for steaming apps and Bluray.
Licensing is around $5 per unit, and if sold similarly to DVD codec licensing on the PS4, would only be a charge once a customer activated it.
Heck, add it onto the PSN store for £15 - £20, I'd still buy it.
The hardware would be up to the decoding, so I guess I can live in hope it's added - but that took the shine off a little.

I hear you, I don't have great internet so would take ages for me too.
I mean HDR looks nice on the PS4 currently but yeah I agree DV is something else. We need it. Hell, I'd pay for it if it was only $5.
