I'm really happy with the way these consoles are shaping up. Some annoyances with MS, but great games shown off. Can't wait until November.

For the xbox one its small since you have to install every game to the harddrive. for the ps4 since all games play discs its fine. Its purely dedicated to the digital part of media.

Free PS+ Games. Trust me, over time they start to take up space. I'm running out of room on the 500GB one I bought for my PS3.

I'd consider it preferable to mandatory installs, although I'm sure there will be some of those as well.

You can say that again, most of not all the games on my HDD are PS+ games, even a 500GB HDD gets filled up pretty quick with PS+

It might become a problem if the size of games increases notably next gen, too.

Pretty positive that Sony confirmed on Feb that PS4 games will not have installs because they knew people hated them on PS3.

Yes when you buy a game from the online store it will require an installation.. so you will now play the game while it downloads and installs without having to wait.

just that installing would probably be better for game performance
