PS5 is FINALLY getting Internal SSD Expansion!

Umm.
I would be more upset but I want to believe the backslash will qake up Sony and create a better option like the Seagates card for Xbox Series X.

If only I could find one without scalper prices

from what I've heard the shortages are going to last for a while perhaps until 2023

PS5's storage compared to the Series X is pitiful. It's like they put zero thought into how fast gamers could run out of storage space and they've been in absolutely no hurry to address it. The PS5 has a paltry 667.2 gigs available to users whereas the Series X has 802 gigs to use. Xbox also had Seagate 1TB expansion cards since day one and according to Seagate, you can hot-swap as many as you like.

I purchased one a few days after I got my Series X, plugged it in and it has worked flawlessly. I have over 40 games installed including bloated monsters like Mortal Kombat 11 and Halo the Master Chief Collection and still have about 35-40% available on each internal and expansion.

Looks like the update for everyone to be able to expand internal SSD goes live tomorrow:

Best Buy currently has a 2TB "PS5 ready" internal SSD for $249.99. Nice to see the prices going down already.
