I run all of my PS4 games off of a USB 3.0 Thumbdrive. So none of my internal space is taken up by PS4 games. I'll share what I posted for Hawkingbird in the other thread.

They both work really well. I gave the second to my brother when he got his PS5. I went this route because I didn't want any additional space taken up by an external drive. I linked those particular thumb drives because they actually have the advertised speed. If you get a drive that's too slow your PS4 games will take forever to install and forever to load. If that's not a concern you may be able to get a better deal on an external drive. @DarkSakulposted a pretty sweet Samsung drive in the other thread. At work, or I'd pull the link from his post.

Congrats on the PS5 man, your wife is a saint. Never ask her how many people she had to stab to get that thing.
 
Heads up the PS5's native storage space is tiny. As you've discovered the actual working size is decently smaller than what is spec'd. Also worth noting that you can run PS4 games off of an external HD and they'll run pretty much the same as they would on the PS4 (there were some concerns over external HDs causing issues with "rest mode" but based on what I've heard its inconsistent and there have been a number of updates since then). If you can try to save that NVMe space for PS5 games, PS5 enhanced games, or PS4 games you really love.
 
As for what to get right now: real slim pickings. Legit the best PS5 game right now is probably the Astro's Playroom pack in.

That's awesome! 

My awesome wife just gave me a PS5 for an early b-day present. This is awesome, but now I have no idea what to play on it... Anyone know of any good PS5 games?
 
also, Tubb, I think this should still run SOR4 alright tomorrow. If not, I’ll hook the PS4 up. I downloaded it last night.

I have a little peen, so sorry I can’t

I’m confused about the memory here. I thought there was like 825 GBs but it says the size in the storage area is only 667 and there are already 180 GBs for “other” (system) data. And it didn’t transfer any of my games, just seemingly save files.
 
edit: okay that “other” data were my PS4 games, it is slowly adding them as games now. I’ll have to let this sit

Yeah, it’s like already done transferring lol. Very quick. I was worried it was going to have to redownload everything.

niiiice!
 
Also, it'll totally run SoR4, I've already played it on PS5. And the data transfer is a breeze, especially if you have both systems wired.

SoR4 or SoR2 Axel most of the time. 
 
The first time I beat it, I actually played through with Floyd. 
 
Everyone is pretty cool, I have a feeling you'd like Cherry and Adam (When you unlock him) 

I have a little peen, so sorry I can’t 

I would say this is likely the last one, but there may still be hotfixes for glitches/infinites, and possibly a tiny .5 patch if someone is too out of hand

I expect at one more touch up at the end of the season to touch up season 5 characters and anything really out of hand like you said. 
 
Really I just don’t want to start a guide then have to edit it later lol. At this point I want it to be one and done.

Friday it is!

That makes sense. I realized the other day that part of the reason why I prefer console gaming is that computers now remind me of work related stress and after sitting behind a PC for 8+ hours a day, hating my life, that it’s nice to sit in front of my big screen TV in my living room and boot up a console to unwind, as opposed to going back to my office.

Is it just me, or is part of the reason those games were awesome were because of the difficulty? I loved Battletoads, but I don’t know if I would’ve played it as much if I could have beat it in a few hours on my first try.
 
edit: then again, I also replayed MK1 and 2’s arcade modes constantly for like 3 years so perhaps that didn’t matter too much 

I have a little peen, so sorry I can’t 

The canons have been wanting to nuke SRK for years.
If you ever posted on their irc channel/server you would see the disdain they had for the site and everyone who posted there.
 
Then you have the fact that the fatfuck wiz was the one running the show since they didnt want anything to do with it.
Perhaps now they are finally pulling the plug.
