mulit-tasking?

Im guessing as a developers point of view that has worked on similar memory setups like what mobile have, that extra 1 gig is something you can use but will have to relinquish if the OS ask for it, this would be things like, if you alt tab out of the game to use the web browser or watch you tube, more than likely you will be able to ask for it back as soon as your game goes full screen again. Its not ideal but it certainly is workable and wouldnt expect just 1st parties to be using it.

Not sure I'd believe this right away. Anonymous source probably being the same one that told them about the 7 minutes of recording. Also haven't many devs stated that they have 7gb to work with? This flies in the face of EVERY other report so why are we taking it as fact I wonder?

Alternatively it means that back in Feb, sony intended on a linear, bare bones OS and 3.5GB of Ram for developers. 

Illl wait for sony to say something.

Still significant better. And we will most likely see a firmware update which increases the available ram. Yes, the 180 can do the same but it's not gddr5.

Or most likely the story is a load of crap. Just like the 7 minutes of recording. Eurogamer are losing credibility fast. It's actually a shame. Leadbeater needs to be fired. Sony showed the OS back in Feb. Doubt they would have showed it if they were only about to expand it to 3.5GB. Also what happens during a game when the OS needs 3.5 instead of 2.5? The Game freezes? Goes to looking like crap? 

Maybe it's the 15min of video?

Or maybe they decided to beef up the OS to Xbone's level.

Didn't the devkits sent out to create those demos for the February reveal only have 4GB.

Isn't this a good thing? Have any of you tried to look at a message on PSN while playing a game? It's like you're trying to run 2 programs on a PC with 256MB of SDRAM. Isn't this better?
