Who needs external storage for a console that's also a home theatre multimedia device with strong focus on digital download, but with non-replaceable HDD, after all?   

But thinking again about it, this is coherent with MS cherished tradition of launching incomplete products, that dates from before Windows 95 and has become a sort of amulet that cannot be renounced, so it's NOT a missing feature, IT'S A FEATURE!!!

"Sony also confirms that PlayStation 4 won't allow game installs to external hard drives."

Unless you plan to fill up your 500gb the first 10 seconds of getting your console, this is a non-issue.

Thread title says quite a different thing, "Xbox One has non-replaceable hard drive, external storage is supported"

Not a big deal at all. There won't even be enough games out period to worry about this for awhile.

LOL, poor Nsanity! This time if I were the mod I'd have forgiven him, this comment of his made me smile http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5633149

Considering they were touting the console as digital only (i.e all content was installed on disk) then 500gb is nothing these days.

My bigger concern though is that the internal HDD is non-replacable. So what happens if you have a faulty hard disk and it dies... your console is effectively dead. You cant swap it out... you have to send it back to maintenance or risk taking it apart yourself. For me this is the biggest issue... you can have a dead machine for a part that can be easily replaced.... totally bad design.
