If it's just PS4 games then a external HDD or SSD would do fine, my PS4 games seem to load quick enough on external SSD

aaaand it's gone.
Fingers crossed it does strike twice.
From what I am reading and seeing Amazon are using Amazon Logistics for all high value items now so hopefully you won't get some scrub nicking your console again. Fingers crossed you get one!

Argos had stock as well, for future Argos drop stock at 4am ~ but you can get via a workaround at 1/2am.
Feel like I'm promoting this site but if you really want one, put the time in to keep up to date with this thread and you will get one.

Hmm just seems to be a thread for scalpers to gloat. I've got one luckily but a friend has been trying and just not quick enough.

It was useful before Christmas and seemed useful thus when I read It this morning. You need to read past the idiots it’s the internet, you’re always going to get one
No, that isn't how this is going to work. It's not about "enjoying the experience of the internal drive".
How fast the PS5 can get data from SSD storage into RAM is a known specification and games designers will be designing games to utilise this - take the new Ratchet & Clank game for example.
If Sony allowed "any old SSD" to be installed and the game was no longer playable, the complaints would be massive. It simply is not going to happen.
The only drives that will be allowed will be those, that when combined with the PS5's custom controller, offer the same of better performance that the built-in solution.
At the moment there are about 3-4 drives on the market that, on paper, will be compatible.
But these are still subject to testing - all it would take, for example, is for one of the drives when 95% full for the sustained transfer rate to drop below the current SSD solutions rates and they wont certify it.
If you're planning on buying a drive now - don't. It can only offer disappointment, no guarantee that it will be compatible and the price of SSDs only ever go in one direction, down.
If you're holding out that you'll be able to use anything but Gen4 and then only the fastest Gen4 drives, then unfortunately there will only be additional disappointment.
ive just checked my amazon delivery also this morning getting the same
Unfortunately, your delivery is running behind schedule. We're working to make sure the delay doesn’t affect your final delivery time. Your package may still arrive today.
also under the tracking it says
Delay in delivery due to external factors
Worcester, GB
but did u get a email update late yesterday evening saying this?
Dispatched: A one-time password is required for this Amazon delivery
Wednesday, March 3
On the day of delivery, we will email you a one-time password to read to the driver for delivery. Learn more
never had anything like that from amazon just wondering if its a new secuirty measure to combat there badly paid drivers to stop stealing them
Arg0s was bizarre yesterday, i was late to the party at 5.30am, got to put a PS5 in the basket but kept just saying OOS, so left it. Then around 7.30am some guy on twitter said just keep hitting change address and accepting your existing and eventually you will get offered a store or delivery. Nothing to loose, did this for around 15 minutes and eventually got offered delivery, went through paid, got a same day slot, it arrived last night, finally !!!.
Don't worry, it will still arrive today.
