Because a lot of people are saying this is easier than I think, can someone explain to me where on an SSD's product page I can find how much of it is above the circuit board and how much is below? Because I can't find it on any of the pages on Newegg or Amazon for various SSDs I've looked at, and Sony is insisting…

You’re right that console management has become more complex over time, but I think this is a significant leap in complexity because it’s asking the consumer to do a lot of research and handle fairly delicate components. Microsoft’s solution to the storage problem is much closer to the expectation on consoles, and…

ASH!!!😭😭😭 I’m getting mildly emotional about this lol

Wow what a SELL OUT where are his VALUES sjw NONSENSE

That’s a bit of a tautology, isn't it? Of course unions don't have power when the labor force isn't on board. Like, you're totally right about how the industry works, but that's the challenge every industry faces when trying to unionize.

That’s what these big mega corporations would have you think, but they continue to invest heavily in the US workforce.It’s all a part of their big lie, that the only way we can reap the benefits of their companies is if they’re given total freedom, and anything less would make things worse for everyone.

I’m not worried about the installation, it’s the idea of finding the right combination of drive and heatsink that stresses me out. There are just so many specifications that I’m definitely going to be anxious about if I’m getting the right thing. (Though I have no idea how one attaches a heatsink to an SSD.)

so you’re telling me that the PS3 and 4 asked me to find a combination of SSD and heatsink that has 2.45mm below the circuit board and 8mm above the circuit board?

I mean yeah we all have different spending practices lol, that’s not exactly surprising

650GB is far from “enough,” especially in a household with three people using the PS5. NBA and COD alone are nearly half the drive.

Your condescension is noted and appreciated! 🙃

Yeah no, I’m going to continue to hold Sony to the consumer-friendliness standards set by their direct competition, thanks though <3

I never found the need for extra space on my PS3, and while I upgraded the HDD on my PS4, all I needed to do was pop it in. This business with trying to get the right heatsink is significantly more intimidating than that, IMO.

Everyone who’s like, “This isn’t that complicated, it’s like the easiest part of building a PC.” Y’all are missing the point.

It’s quite complicated for a console, which have largely been plug and play for ages. (That’s a large part of why many people prefer consoles over PCs for gaming, TBH.) For someone who’s never messed with the internals of a computer, it’s pretty intimidating—mostly because of the heat sink thing. Like, I don’t have a…

Uh no, the toxic culture has stayed for so long because those in power have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, and have a disproportionately large amount of power compared to the people they oppress. (Whether that’s women, LGBTQ+ people, the disabled, or whomever.) Most of the time, it doesn’t matter how…

I mean, most people need their paychecks. That’s not really a feasible solution.

So glad that an AB executive has successfully met the bare minimum for a situation like this
