A 500GB PlayStation 4 Will Give You About 400GB of Storage

A 500GB PlayStation 4 actually has a little more than 400GB of available storage, meaning you’re going to fill that drive up even faster than you thought with the hefty mandatory installations of games like Killzone: Shadow Fall. That’s according to a series of Tweets from a lucky user named CJ who got his PlayStation 4 three days early and has spent most of the day Tweeting what he’s seen. (We spotted the Tweetsover at NeoGAF.)

Still, after three installations, three games occupy an average of 28GB each. At that rate a 500GB machine can install 14 u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ games with a little space left u31 ทางเข้า over. It’s more likely, as your collection grows, you’ll be uninstalling old games you haven’t played in a while even if you’re still keeping the discs around.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1463230827","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"playstation","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); https://twitter.com/embed/status/400315951520165888 Some small portion of a hard drive is usually inaccessible, though the 92GB set aside right off the bat probably is an indication of the PlayStation 4’s firmware size.

This weekend saw reports of users getting their Xbox One preorders two weeks early, believed to be tied to a shipping screwup by the retailer Target. Two users said they were banned from Xbox Live though Microsoft said it will lift the restriction as the console gets closer to launch date.
