most important to who?  i have ps+ and buy all my game (even the big ones like TLoU:R, Destiny, killzone) digitally.  i still have just under 1/2 my drive left.

i'm sure external drives will come but i'm far happier to have features like shareplay, the revisions to the library, themes, spotify with background audio play, digital preloading, and playgo.

 

besides,. even if i could have an external i probably wouldn't use it.  i don't want that ugly dangeling off taking up a valuable usb slot especially sony's done such a great job at digital content management on ps4.  i'll just delete games i've played though to completion.

Most important for gamers. Afterall shu did they ps4 was all about games and only for games hence why the media related stuff is coming out later. Even their slogan says " for the gamer" . Thats ironic considering external HDD is important for gamers when the HDD is small and its 2015 si the support should be given by now. We are not in early 2000s when 500gb was way to much lol. If you have 15 physical games and all the indies you get from sony , then that 500gb is nothing. Knowing sony they won't. Just look at psvita .

It still uses their expensive memory cards rather then micro sd cards which are cheaper. Same with ps4, the 2.5 internal HDD are more expensive then the USB ones. If you have a cupboard , you arrange in a way that you won't see it dangeling and it wouldn't be dangeling. I have two 3tb, one for XO and one for WII U and it looks great on a black cupboard.  Deleting games and reinstalling is is an inconevniance especially if you have alot of games. It not logical to keep doing that every time you decide you want to play your old games.

People have forgotten the time where it blu ray vs dvd and how it was very good to have blu ray support as it was more conveniant and it 2014 so it was mandatory to have it.  The things you listed are all media stuff. Non is gaming, so its kinda ironic how they are supporting more media stuff then gaming features that benefits gamers more. 

i am a damned hardcore gamer.   i have ps+ and a good 10 full AAA on my harddrive right now and have zero need for an external.  i had the ability to upgrade my HDD from day 1.  i decided not to because sony made it soo ridicolously easy to delete and reinstall this gen with features like playgo where i can play games as they download.

 

you are only deeping my case that gamers today are massively whiny.

 

buy this and for the love of god stop derailing this thread with unrelated complaints to sony providing a new 4k photo feature.


I have close to 30 physical games and tonnes of free indies os the 500gb ain't going ot cut it and the highest i can go is a 1tb internal which is expensive and way to small. I don't like having to micro manage everytime i  want to paly one of my old games. its a waste of time. My question to you, why couldn't they use a standard pc inernal drive if they want peoiple to swap it? What whiny? If you promote the ps4   as  a pure gaming machine and for the gamers, then  ahardcore gamer would expect a support of external hdd while having internal hdd to swap as a choice or at least have the ps4 have a built in standard pc hardrive which is cheaper then the oen ps4 is using. Asking for very game to 1080p 60fps is def whiny much more that anything esle

 

I am actually waiting for that , however by that time , order , bloodbourne and other awesome gaems would be out  lol. Even an upgrade to 1tb won't be enough lol.
