If you have an xbox one you can external hdd up to 16tb which plentiful to last the entire generation without having to delete or reinstall the games. My main concern is the ps4 as it still does nto have that support and having to delete and reinstall every game you want to get back to , is very frustrating lol.


I'm thinking the totally opposite thing - PS4 is much better than Xbone. You want more space on PS4? Change the internal HDD! I hate the fact that MS made it impossible for me to swap the internal HDD. Xbone owners are stuck with that ridiculous HDD, while PS4 gamers can upgrade without thrashing the living room, they could even speed up the console with SSD/hybrid SSHD. The options are there for PS4, but not for Xbone and I just don't want any more boxes next to my TV!

BTW. And what happens when the HDD in Xbone dies?

Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it. For me external is better because you have that extra space for new games. i won't be clogged up with your old games , especially if you want to replay them . What happens when you have 100s of games, how will handle that. are you goign to keep swapping hard rve whenever you want to play your old game? or wil lkeep deleting it? Secondly i don't mind internal hdd but sony went with teh 2.5 inch size one , which is much more costly then the standard size that all pc builders liek myself uses. The price i hve to pay for sony size hdd 1tb hard drive, i can buy 3tb external or 3tb of the standard size that pc builders use.  Thirldy, i live in nz and the biggest is 1tb.. importing from other countries is great , but the time it takes its not worth it , not to mention currency exchange  which i woudl extremely disadavntaged . I have a  spcial  table for all my consoels and tv and each conosles has it own cubiicle which ahs space to add hdd and doesn't create any space.  YOu have to remeber you can't just add any hdd dinto the ps4 . it has to specific 2.5 inch size hdd. All games  when you install on XO gets saved onto the cloud , including  your saves and achivements, therefore if hdd fails, you cn just buy a new one and resync them back . It doesn't take long to do that.

If they went with the standard size which pc builders use , then having that big size wouldn't have increased the price by that much. it would alot cheaper then havign the one taht sony used in their ps4. If not that , then at least have the option to have external hdd support or if they wanted to go  with the swappable hdd, then at least use the standard size which pc builders use , so that down the track , gamers cna easily replaced them and replace them cheaply with a much much bigger size. As i mentioned , i can get 3 tb hdd the one pc builders use ofr the smae price of the 1tb hdd that sony ps4 uses. Either of these options would have been good for the gamers.


Ahh... I see what you mean. I understand. It is a feature that the PS4 could use, but Sony did what they thought was right at the time, and are most likely going to give gamers that update soon.

 

However, even if the price doesn't increase that much due to such an add on, it still may be out of reach if you are heavily investing in the preferred console from the start. Some people don't want to spend anymore than they have to.

Sounds like you should have waited to upgrade to next gen. It's just not for you.


Lol if i had to wait for sony to do that ,  i would be  waiting till the end of this generation before they implement. i can bet  that they will never do it . Plus i am also a collector, i like to own all consoles , especially on launch day. i already begun buying mint condition consoles back in the 80s and even earlier than that .  I jsut got a gmaing pc so any multiplat where pc has a huge advantage when it comes to third party games, i will jsut buy it on my pc . I am fine with XO nad WII u. both are excellent machines. I laready have a 3 t external hdd for the XO and i hav already used more then 20% of it , not counting the default 512gb that came with it. 


So you have the money to collect all those consoles and games but not enough to import a 2 TB HDD. 

 

 

And last gen the ps3 launched with either 60 or 20 gigs.  Now it comes with 500k for a ps3. Your bet that Sony will not improve the 500GB HDD for the ps4 is absurd.

For gamers sake i hope, but i seriously doubt if they will sinc eits been more then a year and we still don't have it. I would imagine implemnting wouldn't be hard and could arrived in any of those patches that have been recently released. Just look at ps3 , it didn't have it then., PSp use dsony expensive memory cards and when psvta came, you would haev thought they allowed or at least use micro sd. as e all know it , they wen with their expensive option. One of the reason why i have little expectation from them as they try to be premuim but not thinking from the gamers perspective and providing options.

for ps3 i waited as that time i was a student so i got the 320gb.  Its not being able afford. i can it right now, but i can't justify paying the price for it , when i get more for teh same or cheaper. Thats why i haven't bought it.  If you seen my pc upgrade thread, i spent a fortune it which is 20 1tb hardrives for hte ps4 worth lol.  

 

PS the minto condition consoles are cheaper then the ps4 1tb hard drive.

Honestly the ps4 is not for you.  Your fault for buying it.  I recommend you sell it so you can stop being so negative all the time. Seriously i never see you write anything positive.

I am sure Sony will have them soon. Keep in mind other improvements like Suspend/Resume and mDNLA are also on the drawing board, so I'd imagine that they are still working on it the patch.

He won't listen to you. Seriously he has zero optimism.  External HDD is way down sony's list atm.  And rightly so.

i dont regret buying it as its add to my collection of consoles. i just disappointed with it as i thought sony would have laerned rom past mistakes.  Apart from the hdd issue , thje consoles is great and the games on it are fun to play. Its jsut that using the slogan for the gamers i smisleading as if you are , you will be poviding optiosn for gamers not restricting them

yea i heard about that. i am not too much into media features as i barely use share button.  i rather have external hdd support then suspend and resume to be honest lol.  I owuldnt haev thought it would be that hard as ninetdon and ms got it out rather quickly. i do hope as it would be a great option for gamers on ps4 who do not want to swwap hdd.
