The economy was bad when he took the presidency; now it's far worse. Next two years I wouldn't give any real hope, things'll be much more crippled considering his moronic facist health plan and war against the middle class. I thought this question was a joke.

I def want to pick up a PS4 sometime in the near future, perhaps when MGSV comes out, or at least when all the out-of-stock hoopla has died down. My question is, since I def don't want to stick with the factory 500G HDD, what brand/type of HDD do you recommend if I want to go with a 2TB drive? As in, what is the most reliable and such, because it would be in there for a pretty long time. And when answering, please keep in mind I'm not savvy techy type, so please be considerate :P lol

Question 2: is the factory drive resellable, or would you recommend I just hang onto it?

thanks a bunch!

Well, for the record, I play my PS3 on a 55" Samsung slim LED, and all the games look fantastic. As of late I've been really into films and blu-rays, and really want a 3D TV, and would love to play 3D PS3 games. My TV isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but as of right now putting my gift cards towards a TV seems a wiser investment than a new game system that I will only play ONE game on. That would be Killzone, and that's only because I'm a Killzone fan, bc the graphics of what I've seen only look a couple of baby steps greater than the PS3.

I played with the demo versions set up at Best Buy stores, and tried a bit of a few games, including FIFA 14 and Knack, and I got to see Killzone in gameplay, and I've gotta say, I wasn't really wow'd all that much. The controller looked pretty cool and was more comfy in my hands than the Dualshock 3, and the graphics looked a coat prettier and cleaner than the PS3, but overall, it just wasn't ENOUGH to demand a purchase.

The gameplay in these games felt just the same, if not a bit worse than many of the late-era PS3 tites. There was nothing really innovative in how the games felt. In terms of looks, like I said, it was prettier, but in a way it looked almost TOO clean and sharp for its own good. Some of the smoky effects in Knack were pretty neat, but it's just not enough to warrant me to spend $500 on a system and one game. And Killzone was just too standard; lots of it looks like it could've easily been done on the PS3. Especially since the amount of harddrive space for each game is just freaking ungodly.

I right now have $500 in Best Buy gift cards that I saved up over the past year, and I was going to put it all to the PS4 and a game, but I was thinking of putting it towards a 3D LED TV instead. I just feel I would get more value considering all the PS3 games I could be playing in 3D, and perhaps wait until the PS4 has something greater to offer later on. What do you all think?

It's no doubt a fantastic game, very ingenious game mechanics and lots of unique ideas. Is it the end all be all of games? No, and in that way, yes, it is a TAD overrated. But still, it deserves MUCH of the praise it's been given. The attention to detail and passion behind the fluid gameplay is undeniable. The game revolutionized the survival-horror genre which has been on the wayside for many years already. I've only played through it once and don't care to begin again real soon, but I did have a great time with it. I would probably give it a 9/10, but not a 10.

You can perhaps uninstall, but this will totally kill my casual gaming habits I do with my Ps3. Sometimes if I just find a game on sale I'll simply get it just to try it out, and right now there are dozens of games on there, and ones Ive beaten a long time ago. The beauty of all this is that I don't have to put such meticulous effort in just playing a game for a little while, even if I don't beat it. What if I get a game, decide to play it a bit, but want another and decide to play that, but have several games for which I do intend to beat but am at different points? Do I just have to delete certain ones that aren't priorities and focus on ONLY 1 or 2 at a time? That's totally kills lots of the motivation I would have to get this system so early. I've got a bevy of gift cards that I was going to use but I'm perhaps thinking if I should just now wait a while til I even get this system. This is seriously not to my liking in the least.

So I walked into Best Buy today and they already have Ps4 titles for sale. 3 in particular - COD: Ghosts, Knack, and KIllzone. I looked at the boxes all excited since I plan on getting my Ps4 by the end of this month, and I notice a GIANT red flag on the back of these game cases. The harddrive space for just ONE game, namely Knack and Killzone, and perhaps COD, all say "45/46GB Minimum." Um.... MINIMUM???? The Ps4 standard unit will only have 500 GB of space! Does this mean that I only be able to fit about 10 to 12 games on it? Even if I upgraded to a 1TB HDD, that would only just about double that number! My Ps3 library is over 70 titles! And all fit on a 250G HDD!

Needless to say, I was shocked. Are they serious? Am I wrong about anything here? How are we supposed to build our Ps4 libraries if these games take up these ludicrous amounts of HDD space???

So 11/15 is the date, but I never preordered my system. I'm looking to get Killzone as my very first game (huge fan as I've played all the games prior), and I know games won't be in low supply, but I also haven't heard anything about systems being in short supply. What do you all think? I have a bunch of Best Buy gift cards I've saved up so I'm looking to get it there. They usually never run too low on stock.

No, i guess not. The game just installed on its own. I played through an additional chapter with no issues, the second freeze may not have been the game, but my system has frozen b4 when its too hot or warm in the room. Ill see if it happens again. I also downloaded the DLC with no problems
