PlayStation 4 Comes with 500GB Hard Drive, Other Models a Possibility

Sony dropped a megaton announcement tonight when it revealed that the PlayStation 4 would cost $399 — $100 less than Microsoft's Xbox One — but what exactly does MSRP net you? In addition to the specs detailed in February, Sony has confirmed that the PS4 will ship with a 500GB hard drive, putting it toe-to-toe with Microsoft.

What's more, Sony isn't ruling out the possibility of producing additional models. In a post-event interview, SCEA president Andrew House told IGN that the company hasn't finalized its plans for the range of SKUs it will offer. House noted the success the company has found with game and accessory bundles, though it's unclear if the company is also considering larger storage capacities.

Will the PS4 be HDD upgradeable like the PS3?

Can I buy a 1tb HDD/SSD and put it in my PS4? Or is that something we won't know until we get our hands on it?

PS4 + 1tb HDD/SSD = Microsoft lost
 
Question about the hardware: is there anything groundbreaking or innovative about the PS4 as far as hardware goes?

PS1 had regular CD-Rs, PS2 had DVDs, PS3 has Blu-Rays, now so does the PS4. Feels like it's more of an incremental upgrade like a iPhone 4 to iPhone 4s.
 


Ok where the heck is the Blu-Ray drive slot to insert game discs and blu-ray movies?

I'm old school and still do most of my game purchases through retail and physical disk.

as far as disc based media goes, nope

but like xbox one, ps4 will also support 4k... only problem is theres only one studio out there actually distributing in 4k... feel free to guess who it is

sony?
 
i guess i was wrong about there being a "PS" logo in a more prominent position over the sony logo

with kaz at the top and sony's restructuring, this is the indication that sony > the playstation brand

What new platform of disc based media is there? Blu Ray has a lifetime capacity 10x that of DVD's and 100x that of CD's.

Don't expect to see an industry switch from Blu Ray to something new for a long time. I mean, the console can download the games without you needing to go to the store and purchase them, adding to that, you can play them while they download to your console. THAT is the next groundbreaking innovative technology for this generation.

Once you get your hands on a PS4 you'll see the real jump in generations. The last generation was just so good visually that its hard to see how great this next console will really be.

This generation is visually amazing and looks like its back to games games games.

I want to see a Crash or Spyro return. But I heard "Knack" was this generations Crash bandicoot?
