What drives are people putting in the PS5 these days? Need to expand and since it is black friday, going to keep an eye out.

The Seagate 2Tb Firecuda 530 with built in heatsink is currently at £111 and renowned for being the best drive available for PS5. There isnt much in it, i saw an adata 2tb one earlier for £89 with heatsink.

so the portal only works on your home wifi? so you cant take it out the house and play over another wifi connection?

PS site says you can play from wherever there is a internet connection?

The way we understand it is that it only works on whichever router the PS5 is connected to. I guess if you wanted to use a different network you’d need to take your PS5 with you! I don’t own one though so maybe someone from here who does can clear that up?

I haven't tested it yet, but it will work from wherever there is an internet connection which is fast enough. That's if you enable remote play from the internet on the console itself.
 
I've been let down by Game with pre-ordering the PlayStation Portal.

They claim to have shipped it via Evri on the 14th for next day delivery on the 15th.

Since the 14th Evri tracking is saying they are waiting for the parcel from Game.

I have a feeling Game lied about shipping it.
 
Logged into the Playstation store on my PC and it offered me 30% off 1yr subscription which made it £83.99, so bought £90 of credit from Shopto for £77.85 so it cost me £77.85 for a year sub to Premium and i have £6.01 left in my wallet.

Less than £6.50 a month is fine for me.

The Pulse 3D has pretty poor build quality so on that basis alone I'd avoid the Elite, unless it's markedly better.

I don’t agree. Yes, they are not the same build quality of £150+ sets but the sound quality for half the price is very very good. I am on my second pair, they seem fine for comfort and I have used them for extended sessions. The first pair still work, I just have to get some new pads. The seem-less integration with the PS5 system is great.
 
Spent a lot more time on the Portal since launch day, and still very impressed.
While you obviously wouldn't want to try playing a competitive twitch shooter on it, I played a load of Aliens: Fireteam Elite which is quite a fast-paced game, and some Ghost of Tsushima, and it was absolutely fine.
I only noticed brief image degradation once or twice on very busy scenes like rapidly spinning the camera around.
Other than that the image is super clean and crisp, the screen is big enough that reading small text isn't an issue (for me, good eyesight).
It's also far more comfortable to hold - as you might expect - than a Switch, and is a lot lighter than it looks.

That you're on your second pair somewhat proves my point though! The cup fabric shouldn't be falling apart or coming loose after 16 months which it did on mine. They were £90 when I bought them so they're judged accordingly.

The 7P+ are 100 quid direct from SteelSeries at the moment...

£95 ***elsewhere***, that's a great price.

You’d barely get through the first intro mission. Worth a go though to see if you’ll like the style of it or not as it’s not a game for everyone.
