Seems about right
I know it's kind of a silly thing to complain about but how can memory manufacturers and Sony get away with this? Especially in EU? They are clearly misleading the consumer.
Won't make any difference with mandatory full installs.
isn't cache install temporary? i mean after i remove the disc the data will be deletedbut you have to install the games...
but you have to install the games...

Oh, well change the thread title lol.
This HDD has games installed.
Read the image.
It lists drive size and free space.

*nevermind.
No, read the OP. 408GB is before any games. It's 323GB after those games are installed.Oh, well change the thread title lol.

No way the OS is more than double the size of 64 bit Windows. 8.On both systems you still need to have hard drive space for the games. Both systems install while you play. You can of course delete the game data and it will just reinstall when you put in the disc next.
Also, this isn't too surprising.
Don't forget that marketers also define 1GB as 1000MB. In reality, 1GB = 1024MB (technically that's known as GiB and MiB). Thus, a 500 "GB" hard drive actually has a maximum capacity 465.6 GB, which is what the OS will show.
Thus, the OS is not 100 GB like someone mentioned below. The OS + system apps is 57.6 GB.
What? No system comes with the exact memory advertised all available to you. They need to reserve it for the system settings and what not
No one should expect all the space on a harddrive to be usable, but nearly 100 gigs preoccupied is more than I was expecting.
yeah am going with physical discs next-gen too
Physical is still better if your inet sucks or has bandwidth limits because you avoid having to re-download if you delete the game.
edit: and I assume most people's download speed is slower than bluray reading speed

No. installed/cached date will only be removed if YOU go and remove it.
The title is accurate.
ugh fuck itWon't save you hard drive space, The PS4 is not designed to play games off of disks, everything needs to be installed.
Those are accounted for in the total. See this tweet: https://twitter.com/cjcool804/status/400316029995581440
son you spent a grand to get the console like 3 days early
smh
It's still not correct. The OP title inaccurately states that the stock drive has 408GB of space w/ the OS. It actually is more than that because the twitter user has 3 games installed.

'500GB' is really 465GB, so the system uses 57GB? Interesting.
Than maybe they should advertise it as such, no?
You and me know how this works, but how would Average Joe know who just got a PS4 for little Billy? Those are the people who get burned by this. They are clearly taking advantage of uninformed consumers and people like us who just accept it as it is.

No, there's 323GB free space of 408GB because of the games. Check the OP again...
With three games installed
Playroom + OS?
Also,
a 500GB harddrive is only 465GB in real world.

I can see some of that 55GB being reserved space for the 15minute video capture too
Is anyone really getting "burned"? I mean...let's be honest and not over react.
Well it walls it off. No idea how much it uses. Also I wouldn't be surprised to see that number drop in later firmwares.
You have to install all of those discs, lol.
a 500GB harddrive is only 465GB in real world.
it's still a "put disc in & play" situation, you only notice a few second install when its not on the HDDbut you have to install the games...
As I said, I know it's a silly complaint but I still think it's weird how law (especially so given how pro consumer EU law usually is) doesn't step in.
The ps4 doesn't necessarily require a full install for all games, just a large one. You might be better off going physical over digital.
*facepalm*
If I replace the PS4 hard drive on day one, how do I get the OS on the new hard drive. Will it be available somewhere for download, and if so, do we know how big it is? Or is the OS on a flash partition on the system that will then install the necessary OS files to the new hard drive once it's formatted?

You don't have to be a dick. It's kind of confusing, it took me a minute to understand what I was looking at too.
