Reminded me of a cross between Beyond Good & Evil and Zelda BOTW. Just a brilliant game that seemed to get entirely ignored.

I'd definitely put it on my "must play" list for PS5.

The thread never went anywhere and it seemed like I was the only one that played it, but it isn't a playstation exclusive in case the mention in this thread would make anyone think that. I really enjoyed it, but I still don't see any similarity to BOTW.

“We will launch a dedicated device that enables you to stream any game from your PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi,” PlayStation boss Jim Ryan said during the PlayStation Showcase. “Internally known as ‘Project Q,’ it has an 8-inch HD screen and all of the buttons and features of the DualSense wireless controller.”

More specifically, it’ll have an LCD screen running games at up to 1080p and 60fps over Wi-Fi, according to a Sony press release, and will feature both the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback of the DualSense. The Q handheld is set to launch later this year, though Sony didn’t say exactly when or how much the new device might cost.

Added to list of games to check out.

The new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models, Sony said. There are four separate cover panels, with the top portion in a glossy look, while the bottom remains in matte. If you buy the PS5 Digital Edition, you can add the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 later, as it will also be sold separately for $79.99

Has that happened? Can you use off brand drives?

I added an internal SSD well over a year ago. I believe they recently added support for 8TB models.

As long as you meet the specs, I don't think brand matters.

While the original PS5 was all about having it sit vertically and even included a stand to do so, the PS5 Slim wants you to sit it horizontally like all other Playstations of the past. To do this, they include little plastic feet that you insert into the groove and they effectively prop up the overhang created by the positioning. It's an odd configuration, and I was skeptical of the little feet, but eh, it works. But with this configuration, the removable drive sits on the bottom which is an interesting place to put it.

Before this, I had a PS4 Slim. Even as a Slim version of the PS5, the PS5 Slim is still bigger than the PS4 Slim. It barely fits into the space I allocated for it while the PS4 Slim fit there without issue.
