Someone told me a couple weeks ago not to use a hybrid, after I had already bought one. Glad to hear that was bollocks.

AlexanderNevermind3804d ago

Yeah I have the Seagate Hybrid 1TB. I swapped it before I even turned on the machine. No problems with it so far.

Gaming1013803d ago

I had heard that the drive spinning faster results in a lot more heat generated, which kills consoles earlier than they otherwise would. Again, I've only heard this from people who installed hybrid drives in the PS3 only to kill it within a year, so do so at your own risk.

Sveritas3804d ago

Hybrids are fine to use and so are SSD drives, each drives have their own benefits. Some are better with load times some are better with restarts but ultimately all the stats change by which game you are playing too. Make sure you get the right hard drive that fits though there are a handful of good drives that are recommended here - http://boxclash.com/ps4-har...

tweet753805d ago

as long as those screws arent as tight and awkward as the ps3 it should be an easy process

Bathyj3805d ago

Yeah they sucked. I striped the heads on mine and had to cut slots into them to get them out with a flathead. Pain in the arse.

The_KELRaTH3805d ago

Man I'd forgotten about that:)

Lionsguard3805d ago

I know that pain, I stripped mine just by looking at it funny. I ended up using pliers to turn it, stripping more metal off the sides in the process. I believe those screws in the PS3 were made from play-doh.

kingduqc3805d ago

Still wonder why they went 2.5 inch instead of 3.5... Price are like 3 times more ANNND no external HDD support. Fucking sony.

Grap3805d ago

size does matter apparently. smaller is better.

The_KELRaTH3805d ago

At least supporting external drives would have gotten around the big storage shortage that I suspect most owners will be experiencing quite soon.

I got a 500gb on the PS3 that is nearly full due to all those free PSN titles so on a PS4 it's going to be like using a 60gb!

badz1493805d ago

3.5" draws much power too

kneon3805d ago

And generate more heat.

2.5" drives are pretty cheap. $80 will get you 1TB, $110 for 1.5TB. I haven't seen a price for the new slim 2TB drives yet.

kingPoS3804d ago (Edited 3804d ago )

Do you realize how fricken large a 3.5 HDD is.

Any other opinions on which hard drive to get? And how much would one cost.

Lionsguard3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

I bought the HGST Travelstar 5K1500 1.5TB off Amazon for $121. 1.5TB is enough for 30 games if each game was 50gb each.

edit: I forgot mine isn't a hybrid. Nevertheless, this one should serve my vast storage requirements.

Tiechie3805d ago

Which is actually better though a hybrid or normal ssd?

kneon3805d ago

@Tiechie

Go check the price of a 500+ GB SSD drive and you won't care if it's better

Lionsguard3804d ago

@Blacksand1 It hasn't arrived yet, I just ordered one yesterday. It should work though it's 9.5mm so it's the correct size.

I have the same disk in this video in my PS4. It was $107 at the time I bought it on amazon.

Animal Mutha 763805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

Nice. I think we are all going to need a lot more storage than even 1TB for all these games.

My launch 360 was 20GB. My current 360 is 250GB. That's just over 12x storage and it's not enough. My PS3 has 320GB and it's full.

X1 storage is going to last 5 mins. Hope we can use a fast USB 3.0 drive or NAS.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5062d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905062d ago (Edited 5062d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5062d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5062d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495062d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5062d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5062d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
