Does anyone know if you need double the space to download a PS4 game (50GB download would need 100 GB space)?
I know Xbox One does, not sure on PS4.
Essentially if you have shitty internet and want to go digital you could borrow/rent the disc, have it installed on the Xbox then purchase the game off Marketplace. In theory the only stuff you'd need to download then would be any updates.
Why are they adding together the storage space requirements for the PS3+PS4/360+XB1?
The PS4 doesn't support external drives, the One does.
Jesus christ
EDIT:
Wait, since when did Amazon start selling PSN games again?
It will pre mods. The PC version has the 360/ps3 textures/lighting etc
The PS4 doesn't support external drives, the One does.
Oh, thanks for the info!
So what is the largest HDD we can put into the PS4 currently? 1.5tb?

10GB more for xbone?
This pretty much kills off MS's cloud download service.
These sizes, if accurate, are going to make me seriously reconsider going digital next generation. And I'm on 40MBs internet.

Not sure if serious.
Oh! Will PS4 offer the same option? If so what is the largest external HDD can I get? I would assume I would want USB 3.0? I think both consoles have USB3.0 on the back of the system.
Every retail will be installed on HDD in Xbone/PS4... so the Bluray can have compressed content.Bluray only hold 50gb. Very weird its 60gb
When people relise just how much of a burden a 60GB next gen game download is gonna be, it'll dis-encourage them from DD.
For the following reasons:
1. The initial download time itself.
2. Bandwidth.
3. Having no option to back up the download.
4. If you can back it up, just how many and how expensive will all the external HDDs be?
5. If the internal or even external HDD fails, you need to download again.
6. MP will be useless when downloading. Or will be laggy.
7. If the download fails or becomes corrupted, how happy will you be to have to restart all over again?
8. Having it on disk is far and away more convenient than on storage. In all aspects.
Nice, ethernet speed validated.
I very much doubt those Amazon.com specs are correct.
For starters, both consoles use 25/50 GB Blu-ray discs so there's no way the game is going to be larger than that or use two discs when it's a launch title. Secondly, it's a basketball game, that even with high-res textures, would struggle to fill 20 GB in my view unless the textures, audio and three hours of 1080p FMV is uncompressed!
I think you'll find that the the PS4 and Xbox One versions will be 25 GB or less. I'd be surprised if it's more than 15 GB in all honesty. 25 GB discs are cheaper than 50 GB ones and multiple discs are more expensive than single ones so the majority of next-gen console games will very likely come in at under 25 GB for cost reasons (racing/sports/beat 'em up games) and only RPGs, FPSs and open-world games will use up to 50 GB. Publishers will be aware of download sizes - the bigger the games, the less space they have for other titles on their servers - so I'd be shocked if a mere basketball game used 59-70 GB.
Wow.. I wanted to go all digital.... space will fill up quick if these sizes are to be true.. and XB1 doesn't allow upgraded HDD so were going to be deleting games and installing left and right in no time.
Next gen everything vs current gen. Dat next gen...Seriously, why are these 10x bigger than on the PC? Is that seriously all textures?
Uncompressed audio? (in multiple languages)?
Play as you download. Screw discs.
All I know is that game data saves better be separated from the installed game files so when I need to clean out the fridge I don't lose my saves. Unless PS4 saves all that stuff in the cloud like xbox does? Haven't really been keeping up.
I'm guessing it needs space for the download and the extracted files?
Like how you need double the space for every PSN download game?
