    I'm hoping. But at the same time, I'm not in a rush.

    Hm. I do have a pro membership. I might give it a shot but I know there is no guarantee I will get one this year. However, I will buy some PS5 games to plan ahead. Something I've been doing since gen 6.

    The other day @ my local Target I guess they had some instock BUT I believe they were all accounted for already as I'd didn't see any in the electronics/PS5 section. I recall seeing an employee walk out with a PS5 inside a brown box with like 3 security/lost preventions guys to a curbside pick up.

    Really crazy to me to think it's possible to get robbed the minute you walk outside with a Ps5.

    Best thing to do is keep an eye on restock alerts from twitter, telegraph, etc. Sooner or later you'll get one.

    For those of you with a new PS5, be sure to check out Astro's Playroom. Free platforming game that gives you a great sense of what the controller is capable of. Not to mention a great nostalgic trip through the history of Playstation.

    I’m currently running beta and a Western Digital Black 500 GB M.2 SSD. It’s currently going well. I don’t have a heat sink on it yet but I’m not getting any interferences due to it just yet.

    Edit: Still didn’t have issues with no heatsink but I did buy one to not break anything.

    Don't the WD Blacks come with a heat sink? Or are there two versions - one with a heatsink and one without?

    Hmm 1 TB with heat sink is about $145ish that sounds do-able. I have a 256 GB SanDisk flash drive that i've been putting my PS4 games on and i don't play many games at one time so a extra TB would probably work perfect for me. Installation looks super easy and i do want to change my face plates eventually....
