I looked online and couldn't find the answer(and I'm pretty sure I know it anyway), so hopefully someone here knows for sure.
I'm going to go ahead and slap a 2TB hard drive in my PS4 this weekend as I'm already getting full and I have no desire to worry about deleting and downloading games all the time. Is there any way to backup the actual game files (not game saves, the actual 20GB+ games themselves) to an external drive or something so that I don't have to redownload 300GB+ of games when I install the new one?
I'm pretty sure that's a "no," but I can't seem to find a for sure answer anywhere.
Bought an external but I'm going to rip out the drive inside and use that as my internal drive on my PS4. As far as I know, there's no limit to the amount of storage...the limit is the fact that there's virtually no internal drives above 1.5TB that are small enough. The internal drive inside this however, is 9.5mm and will fit just fine.
Asked a guy in the know about external HDD support. He said TBA, will keep you posted.
That definitely sounds like good news.

Just wanted to confirm that:
A. There's no way to backup downloaded games. You just have to download them again. I figured as much, but oh well.
B. That drive I posted fits perfectly and once the system allocates it's necessary system files to the new drive, you end up with about 1.75TB of storage. It's also noticeably quicker to load certain things. Installation was as easy as can be, too. Just rip open the external casing, remove the adapter, and it's good to use in the PS4.
Should be set on storage for a good while now.
Good to know it works. Yeah I remember looking around and not seeing the backup and restore on the PS4. All game saves are saved to the cloud though right?

Yeah, understandable.

Are the Pulse headsets any good? Groupon has refurbished ones for $59.99

Anyone know how to call a time out with the PS4 controller used on a PS3 in NCAA? Before you say press start (options) and do it that way...it doesn't work apparently. The "call timeout" box is blacked out whenever I try that method.
I currently have to use my PS4 controller because my PS3 is a POS and makes me constantly try to pitch the ball when running and hitting no other button except the analog one to move. It's been like that since last year and same thing happened when playing Madden.
My 2nd controller to do this naturally. Also makes me pump fake when trying to pass on offense. Could try to fix it but it's under warranty and I'm sending it back. In mean time though I have to use my PS4 one.
Have you tried pressing in the touchpad on the PS4 controller? If not, how about the Share button?
As far as it being grayed out, it's probably only grayed out at a time when you can't call a timeout. It shouldn't gray out because of which controller you're using.
Tried them all.
I was in a situation with 14 seconds left at LOS in 4th quarter with time running down. Kept trying to call TO but it was blacked out everytime I hit pause. Tried for 10 seconds straight but it was the same each time. Had 3 TO's left.
None of the other buttons had any effect on anything really which I found out online. PS button doesn't do anything, neither does Share or touchpad. Options button is only one that works.
Read that when using a PS4 controller on PS3 you should keep a PS3 controller nearby to be able to exit a game. I tried to turn on my PS3 controller to call a TO but that didn't work and it was acting weird anyway.
Yeah the DS4 controllers don't work 100% for all games. I think what I did was use the DS3 to pause the game and call a time out so it basically just sets there on the coffee table for the rare times I still play the PS3.
I tried that before time expired but I couldn't even pause it. Only thing it would let me do is hit the PS button.
This the controller has to be the #1 controller or something. I will have to mess around with it.
That would be great except I'm not going to have the PS3 controller for a week or two since I have to send it off to be replaced.
Skip, I think you were just in an instance where you couldn't call timeout. If you had waited a half second or so, then Share and/or pausing the game probably would have worked... that or you were just out of timeouts and didn't realize it.
