  …but they’ll fukken buy it. GTA 6 will be the highest selling single media release of all time.

  FTA

  The original PlayStation 5, colloquially referred to now as the PlayStation 5 Fat, was equipped with 825GB of internal storage, of which approximately 650GB was accessible to the user, depending on system updates and other variables. The shift to the PlayStation 5 Slim introduced numerous enhancements, including an increase to 1TB of storage, providing the user with approximately 850GB of available space (subject to similar factors).

  The CFI-2116 revision, also known as “Chassis E,” marks the return of the 825GB SSD, which Sony advertises on the new packaging. Consumers are losing close to 200GB, or 24%, of usable, high-speed storage with the latest revision. You could argue that 200GB isn’t a lot, and that’s true in a way since some AAA titles — specifically, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War — are pushing over 300GB of installed size. But under normal circumstances, 200GB should be enough for one or two games.

  Seems like Sony has a bunch of 825GB hard drives sitting around to me.

  Fuck Visa but I’m 99% sure it’s a law (or a reinterpretation/expansion of an existing law) making them do this, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise.
