October Prime Day: PS5 SSDs
2023 is absolutely the best year to upgrade your PS5 storage. Games are getting huge these days, and you want to be able to have the capacity to have them all on your console. Upgrading won't upset your wallet too much anymore as well, as PS5-compatible SSDs are now as affordable as they've ever been.
the benefits of an SSD extend beyond purely storage space reasons. They can significantly enhance loading times, reducing those frustrating moments when you're stuck waiting for a game to start or a level to load.
Moreover, a PS5 SSD can improve in-game performance, providing smoother and more responsive gameplay. It enables games to access data faster, leading to quicker rendering of environments and characters. This not only makes your gaming experience more enjoyable but also gives you a competitive edge in online multiplayer games.
What is Prime Big Deal Days/ October Prime Day?
If you've been struggling to Google the latest sale, then don't worry, you're in the same boat as the rest of us. Amazon seems to be set on not calling the current event Prime Day 2 (despite it feeling like it is). Instead, the event is called Prime Big Deal Days (or you'll even find some outlets referring to it as October Prime Day). For simplicity, we're suggesting just checking our relevant articles listed below, and staying plugged in to our deals coverage on Twitter/X or Deals Discord.
