I honestly did not know this. Makes purchasing digital games a lot more attractive for certain games and actually enables couch coop even if it's in a different room.
Amazon Canada had a used PS4 Pro for $343 Canadian a couple weeks ago. It's rare but I should have jumped on that deal. It was gone pretty quick.
Definitely all digital here. I only have 2 discs for PS4 (MLB 14 and NHL 17). I only have those discs because they were given to me.
So checking out my storage today and I am almost full. I wonder if it makes more sense to go PS4 Pro OR just get another external HDD.
I just delete screenshots, videos and games I don't play when I need space. The games can always be downloaded and installed again.Originally Posted by jaymo76

Agreed. 500 gb is too small but 1 TB should be workable. Getting the Pro would be nice but you can also pick up a cheap external now too Jaymo. I don't understand people buying 5-8 TB ones but 1-2 TB of extra space would be good.
I think as soon as I find a deal on a Pro I will get it and have a second PS4. I would like to check out HZD on my 4K tv.
I got a 5 TB external drive, mainly because it was only $122 compared to $110 or something for 4 TB and $80 or $90 for 2 or 3 TB.
It guarantees me loads of free space for many more years, so I can keep most, if not all of my games installed and never have to worry about playing musical downloads again.
But that's also because I like to keep as many of my games installed as possible because I never know when a game may start giving me an itch and catch my interest again. I haven't played, nor had installed, Infamous: Second Son in years, for example, but recently I've sort of been itching to play it again.
That and it takes me a long time to download games, especially since it seemed like most of them were in the 30-60 GB range. So to download all of them, it took at least 65 hours of nonstop downloading in rest mode to install roughly 27 games. At one point, halfway through, I still had something like 450 GB to go, at the halfway point! Now, other than downloading updates, DLC, or newly bought games, I don't have to download all that crap ever again as long as I own my PS4.

I've never even played the inFamous PS4 version yet and I own it. I've watched my kids play it but have never had the urge to get into it. Some day.
I enjoyed it, first played it when I got my PS4 three years ago. I guess it was easier than the previous ones according to the talk online, but I had fun with it. I haven't touched it since probably Fall 2014, haven't had it installed since then, but recently had been feeling the itch. Unfortunately, to install it, would have meant having to uninstalling a current game in my playing rotation.
Before I got my external drive, I think the most games I had installed at one time was something like 9, which is fine if I want to play solely those 9 games, but week to week, what I feel like playing changes. This week I may want to play NBA 2K, next week I may want to play Battlefield, the week after that I may want to play Titanfall 2.
Keeping my entire library permanently installed and ready to play at a moment's notice is nice for me because there are days I jump online without a game in mind and will literally decide what I want to play that day right then and there. And now I can go back and actually play some older games that I had been forced to delete in the past to make room for newer games.

My XBOX1 has the 500GB and a 2TB extra storage. I am at 40% full now. Things like EA Access games really take up a lot of space. However, I have shifted more to XBOX than PS4 for I might just do as some of you say, delete games.
I played the very first inFamous quite a bit. Spent over 40 hours on that one and enjoyed it. If I am totally bored I'm playing it lol!
My PS4 has 4 TB internal and 3 TB external now

On my launch PS4 I upgraded to 1TB. My Pro has 1 TB. I bought a 4 TB external HDD for both. I'm contemplating buying a 2nd external HDD just so I don't have to move my external HDD from downstairs to upstairs and have to wait a few minutes each time for the PS4 to read all my games from my external hdd.
However I may just hold off as I am also hoping to furnish/finish my media/theater room which will end my desire to play games downstairs on the OLED.
I'd love to see a good deal on the PS4 Pro. That console doesn't even have a pack in game. I like the idea of a 2nd PS4 in the house more and more. I believe the wife has green lit this idea as well.
I'm seriously thinking about picking up a 2nd PS4 (like today) with me and two kids all playing. I'd like to get a Pro but the price gap between that and a Slim is so wide right now. PS4 Slim bundles go on sale for C$299 (right now at BB) vs a Pro for C$499. Add 13% tax and that gap is around $225 plus UC4 value. I do have a 4K TV but that's our TV viewing upstairs and wouldn't really be gaming on that. Torn on waiting for a price drop in the future or just pulling the trigger today.
Good deal on a 4TB external HDD for those who want to add to their PS4 or XB1

HELP! I just bought a PS4 Slim and the WIFI is not working. When I set up the connection it will connect to either my 2.4 GHZ or 5 GHZ bands. It's less than 10' from the router, closer than my other PS4. But I'm getting 81 kbs a second. I have to use my LAN line to download anything. It's brutal. I had no issues with my OG PS4. Not sure if I need to do a custom install with this one or something. It wouldn't even register the speed until after I had installed the LAN it was so slow. Ugh.
Wish I could help Rudy but I'm the wrong guy for this. Good luck! 😕
Outside of having to try some port forwarding options, which I don't think are necessary, I'm going to test it at my brothers who is an IT guy. I think there is something wrong with the system unfortunately.
