Sony's Disappointing PS4 FAQ

Okay, with all of these "problems" that are getting fixed immediately, this "Disappointing" PS4 thread is turning into fanboi? drivel.

Here's one that I doubt that they will fix; why won't the PS4 take me back in time, as my younger self, and give me the invisibility powers that I'd wished for? Sony=FAIL

At this point, the most disappointing thing about the PS4 is that I have to wait two more weeks to get it. I say at this point because there are certain to be issues once the console is in the wild, but they've done a decent job of taking care of the obvious issues.

I'm also curious to see how they handle the PSN now that it's paid. Right now I have a 50-70Mbps down internet speed on a laptop when plugged into the same Ethernet connection as I use for my PS3. The PS3 is wired to an access point but, because my nearest connection to the PSN is in L.A., I'm getting 10-20 down on that same connection.

I'm sorry doa, those are not Festivus disappointing enough. Back to the end of the line with you, PS4Fanboy!

You could also put what ever drive you what on it by using
ATA SATA 3 Male to Female Data Power Extension Cable
and power cable  extension with this solution you could put a 5 terabit 1000 rpm desktop drive on it  with very little latency if any to the system  !

This.  Although i thiiiiiiink it's only SataII... but that seems odd to me.

sata 3 backwards comparable !

This is why I am waiting til mid next year to get one too much drama on launch

While everyone is complaining the first few months about what the PS4 can't do, I'll be sitting my broke @ss down playing the PS3! (Emphasis on "broke")LOL

PS4 Will Cache disk base Games, aka small install, just have a look to the twitter conv. below.

Basically, instead of installing data from the disc to the HDD, the PS4 will use a caching mechanism to store files frequently used for the game on the HDD. So, instead of having a 15 minute install when you first put the disc in the game, it’ll “install” the files as you play, putting the files it frequently needs on the HDD. Since it’s a cache, it will be dynamic and delete files not used as often when the cache needs additional space.

This makes a lot of sense, actually – it’s a smart way for the PS4 to do things, and the box sleeves saying that X space is required are still true – it doesn’t say anywhere that it will use up that space.

Deficiencies ... who cares! This will hands down be better than the PS3. Can't wait to get my hands on it at the Mid-night release!!!

Shu is winning at Twitter. MS should get a guy like this. The used car salesman Major Nelson isn't cutting it.
