Isn't she a beauty? Love the look on the console, subtle enough and just plain classy.

I do like the look of the Destiny console, but I'd still prefer a black one. Was kind of hoping to find a deal on the SW Battlefront LE bundle.

SW Battlefront ain't out yet though is it

For the first time ever on PS4 I had a game get corrupted from a power outage. Have to download it all again.

Can you explain more? Was your PS4 on while the power outtage happened?

Were you running the game while the power went out?

really?

my OG PS4 had issues and I had to pull the power and hard reset it far too often (which is why I got the destiny one) and I never had it corrupt anything

Yeah the power went out at the house yesterday and when it came back on the ps4 wouldn't load up destiny so I had to download it.

Do you guys recommend upgrading the HD to 1 TB, such as one of these?
1 TB Hard Drive

I'm think of picking up a PS4 for Christmas, and if it's recommended I'd probably swap the drive before hooking everything up.

I would do it. But I've seen that not all hard drives will work. I know a few people who got a specific Samsung drive that would not boot up once the OS was installed. You should be fine with that one and amazon has a good return policy in case it doesn't work.

If you cycle between 10+ games a month you might want a bigger hard drive. Otherwise no. Worse case, you just delete the games you don't play anymore of the HDD. And if you do want to play them again, re download.

Why not 2TB? This hard drive is what is normally recommended for PS4 upgrades, I just installed one in my new PS4.

I want to put a 1TB SSD in mine, but I'm too cheap to buy one.

I have that exact drive. Works great

I don't know why you would spend a fortune for a minor improvement in load times. Upgrading to the 2TB already gets you a small improvement over the 500GB just because of the better areal density on the drive. There's a good comparison of load times in this article. Of course the SSD is faster, but not nearly enough that I want to choose one over getting 2TB for under $100.

I got my 1tb for $65 bucks. Pretty much the price of a game and I delete whatever I'm not playing anymore.

SSD's don't seem as effective for gaming consoles as they are in gaming PC's anyways, for whatever reason, With consoles it might shave a second or two off, but a SSD in my PC seems to be the difference between a 25 second load screen in wow, or a 2 second wait. For the money I would definitely go with a comparable priced 2TB spindle over a 256gb ssd for consoles.

How does Playstation Plus work? When bought is it per system, so any of the profiles can access online, or do you have to buy a subscription for each gamer profile?

PS+ is tied to your PSN account, but you can designate 1 PS4 as your primary system, and anyone who plays on that system can use the features of PS+ (play online, play the PS+ games you've downloaded, etc.).
