2.5"

I'm finding it hard to see either console worth the price for the upgrade you get graphically. I had a ps3 and xbox360 which I have sold recently. I wish they had forza or gran turismo on the pc. That is the only thing that propels me to get one.
Why? They use more power and make more heat.Well damn, I wish they would have went with 3.5"

As much as id like to drop the $399 on a ps4, I simply cannot do it.Too many games due to come out over the next 3 months that will easily last me til summer of next year. I guess this way I can sit back and see what happens with these next gen systems.
The biggest thing they could do to sell me on buying it would be a ps3 vs ps4 comparison of the same game running actual gameplay footage, not that cinematic BS they always show.

Buying a console at launch is never good value, there are never enough launch games....
Buying a console at launch is never good value, there are never enough launch games, only a few show off the system etc. esp during this gen most of the big AAA titles are cross-gen since the 360/PS3 aren't going anywhere for a while. Games like GTA V can keep you busy for a while.
Part of the reason to buy is just to experience the new console itself. Or if you must have a new game like BF4 to play with friends.
But is the lack of reliability because of design or because the 2.5 inch (mobile) drives are moved, bounced, dropped, smashed and overall beat up a lot more?from my experience I have found that laptop drives are not as reliable as their 3.5" cousins...
Size and weight is also a concern. You have to think of the system as a whole engineered piece not just fixed by "making it bigger" so a 3.5 inch drive can fit. The bigger and more a console weighs, the more it cost to ship. The little difference between 2.5" and 3.5" drives x 50million consoles = huge dollars saved in shipping.Well I'd imagine those factors are fairly insignificant considering they are 5400RPM and no one really cares about an additional 5 watts when giving them the option to go up to 4TB as opposed to iirc 1TB.
My 500GB PS3 is already at 420GB and I don't even have any movies or songs on it.
14 years ago today, you would have been wrong.
PS4 U.I. finally unveiled. Yoshida opened up Gamescom using it... check it out.

"Finally" as in over three weeks ago?
Aesthetically, it looks very nice. From a useability standpoint it looks frustrating. It's the usual clunky Sony UI. Constantly entering/exiting/activating/switching the UI. Every option brings new elements. Fortunately, things seemed to load quickly enough, so that's nice. But you still have the user navigation slowing things down.
Has anyone found any info regarding the PS4 and SSD support? I read here that putting a SSD in a PS3 is a waste because of it's limitations and lack of "trim" support (don't know what that means). Anyone know if the PS4 has this support?
From a money and maximum storage capacity standpoint it is a waste.
If you have PS+ like me then you need space.
Your better off with a large capacity 7200 rpm drive.
And of course it doesn't support trim.
I understand that, and know that. I was just curious if anyone knew if the PS4 would support SSDs better than the PS3.

Hybrid drives? Good or bad option?

Sony has detailed their upgrade plans.
You can insert your PS3 version of the disc into PS4, then buy the PS4 digital version for a nominal fee. When you launch the digital version, it checks for the PS3 version in the disc tray.

I'm fine with a 2.5" form factor on consoles. They are designed and cooled like laptops and have laptops components throughout.

The fee is $9.99.This is only for a few games or pretty much all of them?
According to Sony, the select titles are: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4 and Watch Dogs. And this offer applies for a limited time, so take advantage when you can.
I think it's more to do with the publisher than Sony.Ah, so it's only for those specific games. Was hoping for many games.
