This is your last chance to add this 2TB SSD to your basket and expand your PS5's storage before Prime Day ends!
There's no better time to save on tech than during Amazon's Prime Day sales, and right now, you have only a few hours left to do so. Yes, we're in the dying embers of this year's big sales event, so if you've been eyeing anything, act fast. I, for one, have my eye on a very specific storage solution for my PlayStation 5. Considering the mahoosive size of modern-day video games, it's no surprise that I've quickly run out of space on my PS5 — 1TB just isn't enough. My solution? I'm buying the WD_Black SN850P 2TB SSD for $179 at Amazon right now. That's right, Amazon has shaved 29% off the SSD's $251 retail price. I might as well buy two! Officially licensed for PS5 consoles, the WD_Black SN850P boasts 2TB of storage and packs impressive read (7,300MB/s) and write speeds (6,300MB/s). Its optimized heatsink designed especially for the PS5 ensures easy, worry-free installation into the M.2 slot. While the WD_Black SN850P is available in 4TB and 8TB sizes as well, it's only the 2TB SSD that's currently discounted — but that should be plenty enough to get started. It's an officially-licensed PS5 accessory and has been designed with Sony's current-gen console in mind. In addition to the massive storage, the WD_Black SN850P also boasts impressive read (7,300MB/s) and write speeds (6,300MB/s), so load times are short and gameplay is seamless. Setting it up is easy as it has been optimized for the PS5, so all you need to do is slot it into your console's M.2 slot and you're good to go. Oh, and the cherry on top of the cake? A 14-day trial of PlayStation Plus Premium is included in the box, granting you instant access to hundreds of incredible games! So what are you waiting for? Hurry as there are only a few hours left of the sale, and secure a 29% saving on the WD_Black SN850P at Amazon right now!

PS Portal's Cloud Streaming beta gets automatic pauses and screen captures
Today Sony is adding a bunch of new features to the PlayStation Portal's Cloud Streaming option. The beta platform is getting updates such as the ability to sort games by recently added, name in standard or reverse alphabetical order or release date. Then there's the pause feature, which will stop the game if you open the PS Portal quick menu. Gameplay will also pause if you click the power button. Be warned, you will get disconnected from the cloud streaming session if more than 15 seconds go by without you unpausing it (clicking the power button again). Plus, you'll be paused if there's a system error message on your screen. However, these features don't work, as of yet, in multiplayer mode. You're also going to have a clearer idea of when it's your turn to play. You will get an estimated wait time if the streamer server is full and then be put right into the game when you're up. Then there's the new create button, which takes a screenshot (when held down) or records a video of the game (when clicked twice). This media will stay in the PlayStation App library under captures for 14 days. There's two more, minor, updates to Cloud Streaming. You'll now receive an inactivity notification after 10 minutes of no action, just letting you know that the session is about to end. Plus, there's a user feedback screen that will pop up at the end in case there's anything you want PlayStation to know. Sony first announced the Cloud Streaming trial late last year and its available to all PlayStation Plus Premium members in beta. The experimental system lets you stream select games from PlayStation's servers, regardless of if you own a PS5.
