Lot's of speculation about future drives and "not much difference", but it doesn't change the fact that this price is one of the lowest seen yet in a long time for the performance, and it's a slick deal.

No other store is even close price wise.

It even includes a heatsink people pay extra for with lower priced drives for their PS5..

If anyone is on the fence, here's my total breakdown. I added the Pro Membership to my account along with the 2TB 980 Pro. My total was $243.35. I'm going to check if the firmware is up to date via Samsung Magician software, and I'll be good to go.

Thanks for the heads-up on this drive development, it wasn't even on my radar. Googled and found this

However it sounds like your "slamming the market over the next 12 months" is optimistic?

Best price yet for this drive, works with PS5.

This offer is only available to GameStop pro members but you can join for $15/yr bringing your total to $224.99 which is still a great deal for this drive.

Good deal. I've been looking at picking up a 1 TB for my PC. Now to figure out if membership cost makes it a good price still.

Edit: Got it. $10 worth of points will come (reddit says 24 hours) and $5 in points / month made the pro membership cost negligible.
Thanks for posting!

If you didn't use that gift card they made you buy, for the PS5 bundle time to use it now. This works perfectly in the PS5
