    Awesome, can finally put that crazy PC Case Gear 2TB deal to use :D

    Being able to edit the Control Centre sounds nice too. I don't think I use most of the things there.

  • Finally we can use remote play on mobile data. They've locked this since PSP days but there was no reason to considering the work arounds worked fine.

  • Finally! :D have my 2TB PNY M2 from the awesome deal last month ready to go. And my heatsink from Amazon.

    Any current M2 deals that can be used in the ps5?

      Just replying to say I can't find deals either =( missed that mythical deal some of the other comments were hinting at.

      Anyone know what the best price/trusted retailer would be even without a deal at the moment?

  • Someone link me a heatsink that will be compatible with the PS5 please, It looks like the one I ordered from Amazon got lost in the mail.

    • I just bought this one for my 980 Pro - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/324492200271

      Seems like the sizing it will fit, and it's on eBay Plus with express shipping so seemed an obvious choice.

      None of the ones I saw on Amazon (with Prime) looked like they would fit. Current stock was probably already pillaged by excited PS5 owners waiting for this update.

      There you go. Few of us have used that one. Fits well and well made.

      • That's the one I originally ordered because I saw It being recommended on the 2tb PNY deal, the status of the order has been stuck as out for delivery since the 27th of August.

        • Oh damn. That sucks. Mine was delivered within 2 weeks of ordering.

      • Hey mate that's also what I got :D

        There was no instructions in the packet though, does the thicker Pad go ontop or below? Never used one of these before.

          I put the thin pad on the bottom as it means I could remove it and adjust it easier, as the thin pad only sticks on 1 side. So you could slide it into position. Then put the thick pad on top. Adjusted the drive to where I wanted and then put the top piece on and screwed in. It’s all plugged in and working fine.

            @dwhes: Heh, woops I did opposite.. Ah well, Seems to be working fine regardless.
            Cheers anyway :)

              @Stoibs: Haha don’t think it really matters, it’s all about dissipating the heat. And as long as it fits it won’t matter.

      • Funnily enough, the same generic one shown in the official installation video: https://youtu.be/jQZROCPKbYQ?t=57
