I'll probably wait until they decide to make a 1tb PS4 for at least 300, anything higher to me just isn't worth it for 500gb.

I hear you on that one.  It also wouldn't be a bad Idea to just step up to a 1tb at E3 and do a lot of bundles for later in the 3rd quarter and 4th to combat microsoft and microsoft probably won't change drop the price again if Sony can stay solid at the $399 price point than.

They do put whatever size you want in it.

Yea in it... It has 2 usb 3.0 ports, let us use that for hard drives instead of just putting one in it...

I do agree additional external should be supported for those that want it. Be surprised if wasn't the case by end of the year.

The external HDD is a piracy issue, I'm almost certain.

While I'm sure you could use the internal HDD to pirate by swapping it back and forth between a PC/PS4, that would require much more work that most people wouldn't be willing to do and I'd assume internal HDD's are less prone to that sort of thing anyway.

But yeah, introduce a premium SKU with 1TB for now and increase that later in the gen to 2TB when it becomes necessary.

Also, their financial situation is not nearly as dire as it was a few years back. They can take a hit on each PS4 sold and still come out well ahead. In addition to that, they may not even take a hit on a $300 PS4 at this point. We never knew the original manufacturing costs to begin with and something tells me those teardowns trying to estimate the cost were never accurate either way - We're talking about a mega corporation who's helped create the technological industry we live in today. They no doubt have long standing partners who give them absurdly cheap prices, coupled with the fact that this entire generation was created to be profitable from the start/as early as plausible.
