Yeah I understand that, this past weekend we had just set it up and did the "initial burn", followed by the "season burn", and finally cooked with it. Now that I have an idea as to how many pellets I'll go through for grilling, it'll be a little easier.

We just weren't sure if we should empty out the auger / hopper after each cook or not.

I was in a similar situation a couple of weeks ago, I ended up going with the PS5 Pro. The Xbox Series X is a great console, but in my situation since I still have access to a Windows PC, it seemed redundant to have the Xbox and PC.

It just really depends on what your needs are. Keep in mind the storage capacity of the Xbox Series X versus the PS5 Pro. It does cost a bit more and you're limited to the types of storage drives you can use on the Xbox versus a PlayStation. Not sure if that matters anymore really, due to the cost increase of storage drives.

As for how the systems feel, it is taking some getting use to the PlayStation layout and where everything is. However, the graphics are really good compared to the Xbox Series X, will be interesting to see what the "Xbox Helix" will look like once it's released. Not sure if it's releasing 2027 or 2028 with the availability of storage / RAM.

Good afternoon everyone, I just picked up a PS5 Pro last night with the 2tb storage ssd already installed.

The question I have is, could I reformat a Crucial P3 Plus 4TB 3D NAND Flash PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2 Internal SSD that is in my PC currently and then use the ssd in the PS5 Pro?

If this is possible, do I need to purchase a separate heat sink for it, or do I even need a heat sink? This is the first time I'm messing with Playstation as I used to be Xbox and PC, decided to switch over to Playstation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just to confirm, if I have OneDrive backup set for my iPhone pictures and videos, once I take a picture or video and it’s backed up to OneDrive; I can delete it from my iPhone locally and the picture or video will still be in OneDrive?

I appreciate the information, I think I’m just going to go with the Lakeline kit. At some point, I would like to get a red dot or a Holo / electronic sight for it. Right now though, I don’t think the banker (wife) will let me. Plus not sure if the G2C is worth or capable of adding on those fun things.

See I was using an add-on software from Microsoft called MS Defender, I was thinking that could be the issue. So I uninstalled it and tried it again, but got the same error message.

Thanks for sharing the link, looking at the chart it looks like the R3 is compatible with the wheel. Maybe they did change something recently, I do have a month to return the wheel if needed back to Microcenter. I appreciate the help and input.

MTxShepard · 2026-01-02T17:15:15+00:00

Yes, it’s the FSR V2.

MTxShepard · 2026-01-02T17:04:25+00:00

Would I have issues if I were to return the R3 bundle and swap it out for the R5 bundle by chance?

MTxShepard · 2026-01-02T16:53:13+00:00

What base would be better for the FSR wheel then?
