Yeah maybe - given that it's only 3.5 weeks until the US/rest of world release I can't help but think there'll be some more tidbits about the controller, 3d audio, quick resume etc before a massive information release in the form of an NDA lift a week before release.

Maybe they'll tell us what grade of cardboard the outer box is, this will then make front page of Reddit.

Needs to be vegan cardboard or I'm switching to Xbox exclusively

A list of officially compatible NVMe drives would be nice

That'll probably come after launch, if you're filling up the SSD within a few weeks you're doing well!

There's not even enough launch titles to fill up the space

An additional SSD is probably going to be one of those things you only want to get once you really need it. By then they'll be cheaper and probably faster too, until then a decent SATA one in a USB caddy will do for storage and should still enable some pretty quick transfer speeds for moving games off and on to the integrated storage.

My genuine feeling is use my external SSD for anything PS4, use the built-in only for PS5 titles - wait 6 months until 2TB compatible NVMe drives are a little more sensible in pricing, then purchase.
If at 6 months still silly, cycle what is installed internally and wait a year instead.

Wow that’s amazing idea

Same for me - 1TB SSD for PS4 games next year if I get close to using up the onboard SSD, then maybe a 1TB NVMe upgrade. Re-downloading games won't be an option as I have fairly slow internet (25mbps).

Either a 23" 1080p 60hz monitor or a 34" 1440p UW 60hz monitor that will accept a 4k input (with black bars either side, so effectively a 27"), depending what looks best.

I may upgrade the 1080p monitor to a 4k 27" next year.

Yeah I like this. Now to identify which usb ssd is going to be a good fit; currently eyeing up the Samsung T5.

I have a 500gb NVMe in my laptop I could rob if its compatible. But your thoughts pretty much reflect my own on waiting for prices to fall. I just hope they don't limit compatibility to "Sony approved" products that retail at twice the cost of normal stuff.

A Samsung curved 43” 4K tv. Looking to upgrade to a 55” at some point and something with hdmi 2.1.

It's unlikely, they need to be the new generation PCIe 4.0 drives and even that's not a guarantee that performance will be sufficient.
