Do save game files work on it?

thats what the cloud is for....you've got 3 gigabyte with ps plus

FYI = the ps4 only supports drives with a 9.5mm z-height....ergo you are limited to 1.5 terrabyte....and those 1.5 terrabyte drives are not out until Q1 2014.

so its 1tb for us, sa,e as ps3

Sure the 500gb drive will last a long time before it's full. Not supporting games on external hard drives isn't a problem imho.

I have a 1tb HDD in my PS3 now and it's filling up very quickly with PS+ alone.

A 500gb HDD will not be long filling up on the PS4. A 2tb HDD will be needed within a 2 years at least. Game installs are going to get bigger and downloadalbe games will get much bigger. Add in HD movies and music and 500gb gets eaten quickly. Imagine all the DLC for BF4 will take up alone.

Anyone else think in one way we are really lucky for the two week gap between the North American release and the European release.

We'll get to hear all the reviews of the games and base our purchases accordingly? I have no idea what games to go for... Will those two weeks be time enough to pre order games?

My preorder is with GameStop before the launch day deadline.

I highly doubt it. The games are on regular Blu-Rays so there is no reason they would have to be limited.

As well as that, it's a new console...most games on the current consoles (which obviously have way more owners) don't sell out...most games

Has it been confirmed if the launch titles will be up for download on the store at launch?

If so I may just wait for review and get them that way

All PS4 titles will be downloadable. I'd assume that's from day one.

We had better hope that they have improved PSN download speeds dramatically.

A lot of it is before day one as with preloading.

Why do people think 500gb won't be enough space?

Just uninstall games when you're done with them?

Beefy78

Why bother when you can just replace the hard-drive and not have to delete anything? My 320GB PS3 is pretty much full so I'm having to delete and re-install but I'd rather have easy access to my entire catalogue of games instead of uninstalling and reinstalling every time I want to play some Hamsterball.

Someone used the same logic about my music collection before high capacity media players became the norm, seems perfectly reasonable but is an absolute pain in practice.

The digital download of Uncharted 3 was 43.5 GB and then took up 87 GB of disk space, so if you are going the digital route, it will not be much at all.

I would go digital only if its more than 25% cheaper. It's not fair to charge same price for bluray disk (often with free shipping) and download ..

Even if packaging and distribution costs don't add up to anything close to 25% of the total cost of the product?

Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 does voice recognition through the new PlayStation Camera.

A Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson told Eurogamer: "We can confirm that PS Camera does allow voice recognition. We will share more details on this shortly."

The PS+ is great but the games are still expensive online compared to amazon.co.uk. I don't know if that will change and I can only think of buying indie games on it.
I installed a 640GB HD on my PS3 (replacing the 120Gb) and its only around 50% full. A lot of the demos can be deleted and it didn't fill as quick as I expected.

Is there a TV mount available for the PS4 camera ? I needed one for the PS3 camera.

The PS4 camera is a flat slab. I doubt you'd need a mount for it.
