*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

Anyone queuing midnight at HMV Bond Street? Really tempting to cancel my amazon pre order and get one midnight launch.

Anyone think its a good idea?
 
The point is that if you're looking to upgrade to 1TB the best solution for both capacity and speed (and cost) would be to buy a hybrid. It's not just about the speed. Hybrids can be bought very cheaply so why wouldn't you go for the capacity and the speed increase over a HDD?

Agreed on wanting to increase storage and common sense going for hybrid if so, but SSHD is just a bit silly imo :)
 
I may be missing a trick but a quick browse suggests that a 1tb hybrid is almost £40 more expensive than its 'regular' counterpart.

I suppose it's 'only £40', but is it just that people really can't wait 5-20 seconds or is there any other benefit?

I think you're confused.

SSD = Solid State Drive

SSHD = Solid State Hybrid Drive

SSHD is the sensible option, SSD is the option for people with silly amounts of money to waste :p
 
Waiting 5 seconds every time you start it up, every time you load a game, a level.. For 5 years, Mounts up. £40 extra doesn't sound too bad lol.
 
captain: the price difference between regular and sshd isn't that much, i would say 10%?

i found this:

Seagate SSHD 1TB 2,5'' 7mm

but it's 7mm :(

I was under the impression that as long as the drive is 9.5mm or under then it's ok

Edit: On the us playstation site it states

PS4 is equipped with a 5400 RPM SATA II hard drive. Users can choose to install a new hard drive so long as it complies with these standards, is no thicker than 9.5mm, and is larger than 160GB.

Not really, unless you save up all the 5 seconds and then are subjected to sit through the combined time as some form of torture :p
 
What tha. I'm worried now...

I placed my PS4 order from the famous jungle in June and then when asked if I wanted to upgrade to a bundle did so and got Killzone SF as well... Does this mean I will still get on release day?
