it is extra because you have to install the full game to the drive hence more space is required then you would ever need if you were nt forced to install the games. Install sizes will only get bigger as time goes by. 2TB wll only be good for maybe 80-120 PS4 retail games depending on what the games are and what DLC you also get.

Sure i could uninstall some games but like we all know what modern gaming is like. Short life span on their servers before they shut down services. What if I want to replay a game and can no longer get updates and the game is too buggy to play??? 

You guys are complaining so much about this HDD. Is it still true that in XO you can't even change the stock 500 GB HDD?

What does that have to do with anything? Lol no you cant replace your HDD but you can have up to 16TB of ADDITIONAL space

OT: I don't believe they're making any huge changes right now.

Just wanted to be sure. People are complaining about PS4 HDD here even though it's by far the best solution on the market (as it usually is with Sony). Wii U and XO don't come close, so I don't get the complains.

The HDD will surely grow over time. I think it's 50:50 about Sony releasing a 1TB version at E3. Depends if they want to cash in a bit more on the now profitable PS4 or if they want to get yet another advantage on the Kinect-less XO. We'll see where Sony is at at this moment, do they want to keep pushing MS or do they want to get more financial relief.
