Forums - Sony Discussion - PS4 HDD will have 408GB of usable storage

Ninjahound101 on 12 November 2013

According to Twitter user @cjcool804, the PS4 has 408GB of usable hard drive space. Below, you’ll see some pictures from the PS4  showing that he installed 84GB of games and 100MB of application data, leaving 323GB free.

Congratulations for the guy who bet on PS4 having less than 450 GB of usable storage(i saw his bet while passing through some threads but i can't remember him or the guy whom he had the bet with)




bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

I wonder if you can turn off the game recording crap to make more space.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Not a problem, I'll just pop in a 1TB hard drive as soon as my PS4™ arrives.

Considering a 500GB HDD only has ~465GB on it anyways.....

Then you substract the space of the OS to reach what is usable.

70*500 = 35000 MB less 500GB so 500 GB HDD = 465 GB HDD less apps

SSDs can't plummet in price soon enough.

I hate how the label is never correct, and why is it always like a percentage and not some number

Why does my 2 tb disc need like 100 gb to be ready, yet my 250 gb one only need 30. Why aren't they both 30?

It's like the whole prize winning in game shows. Would love it if when they said you won 1,000 that mean AFTER TAX 1,000.

Why couldn't they give it a 600 gb harddrive and label it as a 500 gb. Or why is it labeled 500 when there is no way you can ever make it 500, its really only 410, so why not label it 410?

But anyone who expected 500 gb doesn't know tech at all. I could have told anyone it was closer to 400 than 500. As I said above, for some reason the higher the hdd is teh more space gets removed for some stupid ass reason.
