Interesting, and good to know. I couldn’t find any such information when searching.
I think the clone in place solution is superior in any case as the Rescuezilla image is a bit more mature than Valve’s “Arch with some scripts” recovery image. It also transfers installed games, and only needs the additional NVMe enclosure.
Thanks for relieving some anxiety lol
Did you get the order email at the same time? I’ve seen numerous reports of this, but didn’t happen for me.
I routinely delete my YT history and it’s true almost all paths lead nearby, but gaming related videos are definitely an “algorithmic shortcut” to chud bait.
Edit: also Reacher and Breaking Bad clips
That’s just what a cold boot takes. 60 seconds on my most recent attempt. Compared to about 5 seconds to wake my Steam Deck.
The lack of suspend/resume is the real issue here.
Mostly interesting that they immediately leaked this info to attempt damage control.
Inside Games speculated this may be a result of Sony burning billions on failed live service starting to cut budgets on other projects. The Kojima news sort of correlates.
But basically all these annoying systems make sense in an open-world Spiderman game, where getting lost is even more annoying, but not here and so that possibly speaks to a scope change in the middle of development.
Final edit: this worked, once I used the correct directory. Note that Steam gives no indication that it found the files except to skip right to “Verifying”.
That folder only contains the folder “Steam Controller Configs” on both drives.
Edit: found them at ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common on the old drive
Hmm this might work, except I have no space left on the 500GB drive.
I saw a couple mentions of that, but never found the setting to add it…
Oh no! We suck again!
Over on TikTok
Imma go ahead and stop you right there
And finally, his point that in 30 years, walking in to a retro shop will never result in you finding old PS6 games is sad, and I think he’s correct. My whole life I learned about new games in the used shop.
I think this is where Sony et Al. will actually pay a long-term cost for this decision. How many current PS5 owners were kids who got a hand-me-down PS2 with a stack of discs from a sibling or friend? Or someone from a country with garbage internet who migrated somewhere better?
They’re looking at this whole dark market as lost profits and not as gaining future customers and loyalists.
TBF they don’t actually offer any evidence. Correlation does not equal causation.
And yet lots of people want one and can’t get one, and they’re being scalped for several hundred USD markup on eBay.
What region are you in?
I’m annoyed that I originally picked that queue and then changed to just 512GB without controller. I did not get selected and am stuck on the waitlist and I can’t change without losing my spot, without any information about where that is. I’d literally buy any model available, although I understand why Valve doesn’t want to encourage queue-hopping.
I imagine the bare 512GB is the longest queue.

I can’t say for certain there aren’t restrictions, but I just bought something that didn’t put me straight into bankruptcy and was reasonably modern.
Notably the one I bought is PCI Gen 3.0 and the one the comes installed in the device is PCI Gen 4.0. So I technically put a slower drive in, but I’m less worried about it and have not experienced any problems.
