Haptic feedback.
I recently got the WD SN850 1tb for 132 from the rain forest site (actually got the option to pay around 26 quid a month for 5 months interest free) and another 13 quid for a heat sink. Pretty easy to install and read speed is comfortably (around 6500) over the min required speed. I think 1tb drives are probably the best value right now as most ps5 compatible 2tb ones are well over 300.

Finally managed to snag one from Very this morning. Had to buy the disc version with controller bundle but given how he goes through controllers, probably not a bad thing!

What heat sink did you use with this? Thinking of upgrading my lad’s PS5 as the storage is nowhere near enough.
Oh, and does this run alongside the stock drive, or does it replace it? Thanks.

You run alongside it, it shows up as it's own SSD in the Storage menu.
Any of those heatsinks for £10 or so are fine.
Excellent! Thank you

Make sure it comes with thermal pads and I would avoid those uses rubber bands to hold it together, go for one with screws.
I went for the big boy and it still fits, just can't screw on the internal cover. (although i have screw it in and have it to the side off at an angle so i won't lose it). It sits right there between the large fan and the SSD heatsink lol.

One year on from launch and I still haven't seen a single PS5 for sale at retail. Not one! Just Ebay scalpers.
As a 25 year PlayStation fan who normally get stuff on day one, this saddens me.

Lot of places are limiting publicity when they are available now to try and prevent issues with their website and scalping, etc. there also seems to be a certain amount of manipulating availability for some reason as well.
There are tons in the retail channel at the moment (one place took 100 pallets of 36 alone) - but no idea when they will be available (possibly stock build for Black Friday or something though the price is controlled on them).

So you were a fan of the PlayStation 3-4 years before it was launched?
They were introduced to the world nearly 27 years ago!

Man it was 1994, hell that was soooooooooooo long ago.
It is crazy - I'm 40 and the first time I ever heard about PlayStation I was still in Secondary School.

I should know better really, I sold one of my Amiga's in the Yellow ads paper, then used the cash to pre-order a Jap PlayStation import with Ridge Racer, and I only had it a week to ten days and decided I wanted a Sega Saturn, so I swapped it with some bloke, again from the yellow ads paper, for a Saturn plus cash and Virtua Fighter, and a second controller, man I loved that console so much, when I got Daytona USA it was like the best thing. Still went back to my Amiga though.
I got the QIVYNSRY M.2 Heatsink NVME 2280 - the rain forest's choice! It fits fine and can just about get the cover on as well though it took a bit of convincing! There's also this one Maxesla M.2 SSD Heatsink which is currently only 8.99 and has even better reviews (obviously not always proof of quality or value at that site) and similar design.
Just had an email from Sony of a new thing called Playstation Direct where you can order consoles etc direct from them. Free delivery if you're a PS+ subscriber. They've been doing it elsewhere in the world but not in the UK until today. 1 console per order. https://direct.playstation.com/en-gb
Out of stock lol
Might be worth keeping an eye on it though for some who are still looking.

Thank you! Plenty of choice for me.
