i being gamer since the nes days and played on all sony consoles. they rarely keep to their promises hence why i don't have much faith in them. Don't forget shu siad they coused on ps4 being a gaming machine rather then a media on e, hence why it was lacking alot of media features liek dlna. if that was true, then external hdd should be on high list before any media feature. 

The thing is its not a major problem for the vast majority yet.  A lot of people upgraded theirs HDD if it is.  You are not the majority whether you like it or not.  I'm pretty sure HDD external support will arrive before its a widespread issue.  But once again you'll give your standard negative reply with something about sony not learning from their mistakes.  You never seem to go on about Microsoft and their even bigger mistakes.  Give it a rest. 

i complained about all three lol. each of them have their own set of flaws. For me MS  should have made the XO more powerful , give the fact they have more money then either sony and nintedo, therfore sony making a more powerful console then ms one despite havng less money was emabarassing.  Same with nintendo, they should have made a more powerful console adn because they didn't they lost alot of third party support which is a shame. i would have love to see some of the third party game usign the gamepad as its a wodnerufl device to use.  for ms, don't liek the fact they focused alot on media feature, then again i  don't use it at all aprt from playing my blu ray disc or listening ot my music cds lol.  With nintendon also don't liek the fact they only have therir nintendo games which they milk on every geeneration. Would love to see new games that aren't mario, lugi, waio, lugi , mario kart, mario sports game, donkey kiong and so on.  As you can see i do have problems with them and they are equal to that of sony. 

What are ms even bigger mistakes apart from what i have mentioned ?

1TB isn't really even enough... I guess it helps though.

It's enough for your average gamer.  I'd say in a few years they will be giving a 2TB HDD with every ps4. Still though hopefully the external support comes in the next 2 years for those of us that care. 

with the ps3 320gb was  enough for games as i got towards the end of that generation and that time i used xbox 360 as that was my primary console when i was a student. It does not tkae 40 secods to reinstall the entire game especially when its 50gb. Plus i never sell or trade my games. i keep every game i buy from every generation. For me if i  go back to it , its jsut to get few more trophies or to play the multiplayer aspect of that games. sometimes you do get teh itch to go back ot the old ones and play. For me its providng options for gamers. you can't assume all gamers love to sit down after had days work or  with their freetim  when the y have a family to figure out which to delete and which to reinstall. the free time in those situation are very precious and for msot, sitting down and putting the disc to play is what we want. no delays jsut sit and play once disc is in.

Hiku 's post above just proves my point.  It takes minutes and you can start playing almost straight away.  Your complaint is really not that big. Enough of the whole sony never learn from their mistakes because they clearly built a system with a super slick instalation method. Xboxs take way longer so I know which I'd rather have. 

I honestly don't understand why people need a bigger HDD with the PS4. If you run out of room, by that point, there is going to be so many installed games that you're not playing anymore, that you should be able to just delete a few and never miss them. 

This is why I buy physical. It's much faster.

but with ps4 you can switch the haddrive without losing any warranty, up to 2gb for example.
