Yep heatsink is required. If you're not in a rush it'll be worth keeping an eye on HotUKDeals for a decent offer on one, and people usually making a point of saying if it's PS5 compatible when they post one. You're probably looking at £120-140 for a 2TB one, I've got a 1TB one and that's been plenty.

Thanks, do you move games from internal to the expandable storage to play them or just whatever drive the games on.

I've managed to get an order in for a PS Portal, at last, direct from Sony.
May I ask why? I assume you mean gaming pc and not just having a pc in general.

Is there a way to turn it off? Last time I checked there wasn't, and I don't really sew the point of screenshot whenever I get a trophy.

Finally!

I just keep them where they are, there's no real difference in performance between the two.
You can turn off trophy screenshots/captures etc but you can't completely disable the background recording.
Damn, still no standard ones.Finally!

Yeah, sorry, I had a look as well as I remembered somebody (must have been you) said in the thread they were after some.Damn, still no standard ones.
I think your best bet is probably second hand. As the Slim is the default PS5 now I'm not sure how likely they'll be back. I mean nothings definite though.
Prices second-hand are bonkers unfortunately, people seem well-aware they haven't been available for over a year and are scalping accordingly. I do live in hope that they'll reappear at some point, they're still releasing new colours for the original consoles so there's always a chance.
Soldato
That is a good point, you never know, as you say they did release the volcanic covers for the original and the Matt black slim was some time after the equivalent slim ones.
They may have a spare bit of plastic that they will choose to sell on, they must know it's an easy sell surely.
Here's hoping, if I happen to see anything I'll be sure to mention it.
Xbox One literally killed my love for gaming. After the fantastic Xbox OG and Xbox 360, the Xbone was such a letdown. Biggest buyers remorse I've ever had. Pretty much put me off gaming.
You guys are gonna tip me over to hit the order button for a PS5. I have Astro for PS4 along with PSVR and it's definitely quirky and fun.Oh man ...

Guessing dBrand Darkplates 2.0 are also a non-starter? Had mine for ages and love the look.Damn, still no standard ones.

I just disabled the trophy screen capture, it does seem pointless, there is also a video clip it auto records as well for trophies.
Settings > captures and broadcasts. Scroll to bottom and select trophies, set both to whatever you want, I set both to none.
Did the same for challenges as well.

PlayStation owners could be owed up to £500 if they bought games before 2022
PlayStation customers might be compensated after Sony allegedly 'abused its dominant position' to increase prices.
I originally voted "unlikely to buy either" in this thread, but ended up buying a PS5 slim DISC version last weekend.
I've been having a blast with it so far, mostly playing FF16 but I mainly picked it up for FF7: Rebirth. I'd originally intended to sell it once I'd finished both games, but I've been getting on with it enough that I'm tempted to just keep it.

Be interesting to see what happens, I'd have thought MS would have the same issue though on their digital console.PlayStation owners could be owed up to £500 if they bought games before 2022

Pacific Drive - I would advise on holding tight with your money until some performance updates are added.
It seems the game was targetted for the PC as on the PS5 it runs at 4k30...and barely 30. It is quite uncomfortable to play and I was immediately struggling on my 1440p monitor. The controls aren't the most intuitive either so it feels like a Rockstar title in that respect. I am not sure why the hell they've targetted 30fps for such a 'simple' looking game either. PC users with godly rigs are getting an assortment of frame rate experiences so optimisation isn't good.
Complaints are slowly trickling in along with early mission bugs reports. Visually the game is lovely as is the haunting audio. The game uses dualsense very well...a bit too well and my controller was stuck vibrating for a long time, which won't help its batteries.
You can only save at a garage too, so in between trips and not in the field.
