@Desynkronic @Meta-Gnostic @CaveManCobb @x-2tha-z blu-ray tech was very expensive at that time.

why they no give free games everywhere. very bad. they just concerned for markets where they have very low sales.

@sammoth well I am sure it would definitely improve loading times. that is still a plus for me.

@FULGOREY2K @outlawoftorn thanks! this is great news. I was obviously misinformed.

the SSD option is awesome.

@FULGOREY2K @outlawoftorn it could? I haven't tried it on mine but I read elsewhere the SATA controller on the PS3 did not allow SSDs. I might be wrong.

@pspearman @MrMojoRisin70 well internal hard drives are much cheaper than external storage drives, so cost wise I would say its still cheaper to replace the internal hard drive.

plus handling the external drive takes space and additional management. its a preference really.

any news on whether we can install an SSD on the PS4?

@Hal3x 16. Does not require a PS+ subscription to play free-to-play titles such as Planetside 2 and Warframe.

@fastharry @outlawoftorn actually it does not. the xbox would again require a subscription to use netflix etc while the PS would still not.

so the existing demographic for streaming services would continue to use PS4 for streaming media.

@fastharry the reason the PS3 is the most used device for netflix is because netflix and other streaming media do not require an additional subscription to be used on the playstation.
