Yep 500Gb for the PS4, and it's removable/upgradeable
ok cheers , so are the ps4 games a installation to the hdd or playable from the disc because 500gb does'nt sound a lot if they must be installed to hdd, although like said it can be upgraded.
the xbone conference seemed to suggest that games are installed to the hdd meaning no need for the disc after its installed.

I will be getting both for sure and when I watched the MSshow last night I thought they did a good job at winning back some doubters however having just watched the Sony show they just seem to have got things right. They have obviously listened to the people and are giving them what they want.
If had to choose one console then it would have to be the PS4.. good spec, good price and a good display of games.

So unsurprisingly Psycho Sonny was wrong about the price, after months of saying above £450.00, anyway before work I thought I would just remind him that he was wrong
Strange as he is so "In the know".......
Pre ordered this bad boy for £268.00
i said £399 so get your facts right noob and a lot of people thought it would be around the £400 mark, and it's released at £349, hardly a huge margin away now is it?
looks like they decided to undercut MS by a lot in hope to push sales. must be making a big loss on every console, those specs for £349 most likely costing the retailers around £300 @ wholesale which i can imagine is a big hit for sony.

Are they 2.5" or 3.5"?
So it's the same as PS3?
We can just upgrade with a standard drive if/when necessary?

The unthinkable has happened for me. I never thought I would lean more towards the Playstation 4, but Sony have gone and won me over.
Will keep my PC for certain games but PS4 is going to be the console of choice.

have accessory prices been confirmed yet?
because £90 for a controller seems insane lol

Yeah, no. They won't be making a loss of this sort of hardware. They might not make much but it will certainly not be a loss.
I heard something about the Dualshock 4 costing £54.

any proof?
as i imagine with the specs being so high, and MS launching theirs for more money with lower specs, something doesn't add up.
even if kinect costs around £50 to manufacture, it still doesn't add up.
You think customers only ever pay for products based on their cost of construction? Microsoft are hoping that people will perceive the Xbox has being more valuable, due to Kinect, and have raised the price accordingly.
Region free confirmed. Sweet
Does that mean we can import a US model cheaper?

Quick question, anyone that pre-ordered PS4 from Amazon, before the price change, have their ordered updated to the new price?

Knowing MS they have 3 OS's on their box and have associated a license fee for each
The specs aren't THAT great on both, compared to high end PC's anyway. Both consoles were designed to be much cheaper, however the XB1 design is more complex (even though it's less powerful) and also includes Kinect. That along with the reported yield issues are what have bumped the XB1 price up higher than PS4.
Where?
