People with slow internet speeds will probably have to let their console running for days in order to download updates

"For the console to read a piece of information off the drive, it first has to send out the disk head—like a turntable needle—to find it. Each “seek,” as it’s known, may only entail a scant handful of milliseconds, but seeks add up. To minimize them, developers will often duplicate certain game assets in order to form contiguous data blocks, which the drive can read faster. We’re talking common stuff here: lampposts, anonymous passersby."

YES

GOOD

I had type C on my old phone 2 years ago

It was great!

"The SSD sweeps away the need for all that duping—so not only is its raw read speed dramatically faster than a hard drive, but it saves crucial space."

So games may not get that bigger in size in the end.

That’s interesting @ Estonia

That’s interesting @ Estoria

Oh dude, end of 2020 is when it's coming out

They still will, no doubt about that, but perhaps not as dramatically as we think.

Hmm, it seems they're also going for more detailed game installing?

i dont know what the firetruck is going on at sony lol

I wonder if they’ll use a type-C to type-C cable, or if it will be a type-C to type-A

this is random AF

As in, installing only the singleplayer and leaving the multiplayer behind.

Interesting

Yeah, this was posted randomly and out of nowhere

$500 price

ima go with that

Maybe they want to build up the hype bit by bit

And then have a Sony direct thingy announcing it fully

"Cerny hands me a prototype of the next-generation controller, an unlabeled matte-black doohickey that looks an awful lot like the PS4's DualShock 4."

Or choosing to not install 4K textures for those with an HD or full HD TV? That would be nice

Nice, they're keeping the design in line with the DS4
