The Official Playstation 4 Thread - News and Info

I just looked at the back of my games and it says:

NBA 2k14 requires 50GB minimum
knack requires 37GB minimum:
assassin's cred requires 20GB minmum

so my 3 games are gonna eat up over 20% of my HDD space right off the bat!??!!?

I guess the PS3 will still be getting plenty of burn after all as a media player.

 

[beenz]

man fukk, where are yall getting the coupon?

I paid for the watchdogs preorder (that's all they had) and nothing printed out!!!

@beaniemac @Two Stacks

I wanna eat too!!!!

@Rekkapryde you have to buy the watchdog preorder. but make sure you pay for it at the front of the store. they don't print out coupons if you buy it in the back. I made that mistake originally. cop at least 4 watchdog preorders. it will cost u $4, but they say you should get the coupon at least 1 outta every 4 video game purchases. just make sure u do them as seperate purchases. once u get ur coupon, just return the preorders and get ur money back. that's what I did.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Step 1: Grab 3-5 preorder cards.

Step 2: go to the front registers and check them out on SEPARATE transactions

Step 3: Go back to electronics and get your games and present coupon. Eat. If told no, get a manager, the coupon does NOT state what games. you can get ANY. and it works in tandem with the buy 2 get 1 free promotion.

I took the watchdogs preorder cards and paid for both separately. no coupons on either one printed out.

cached my ass those are installs and you have to have them to play the game. if you delete them the game will attempt to reinstall if you play it again. the PS4 doesn't play games off the Blu-Ray.

 

[beenz]

well between the games, extra controller, and PSN+ subscription, and console, I spent enough money for now. I'll cop a larger 2TB hard drive down the line im guessing.

It actually does. Im sure it streams game data from both the BD and HD simultaneously

465.3 GiB or so is what 500 gigs actually is ..and then the OS reserves a large amount or so Ive heard
