Is the 500GB PS4 enough storage?

[a1rwan]

I'm planning on getting a PS4 and I don't know whether to buy the 500GB model or the 1TB model. I usually buy the game on a disc rather than downloading it online. I do however download things like DLC'S, demos and a couple of games.

You can just buy the 500GB version, and replace the drive with a HHD or SSD of any size you choose. I replaced my 500G SSD in the ps4 with a 2TB HDD

Thanks for the suggestion but what if I'm not planning on replacing my ps4's hdd?

This is a very subjective question.

How much are you planning on downloading your games?

Buying physical copies I imagine will save alot of space.

500GB isn't a HUGE amount of storage, so it's very very likely you will eventually fill it all up after some time.

Most of my games will be physical copies and the only things that I would be downloading would be DLC'S and demos(but very few demos).

You'll probably be fine for a couple of years.

If I am correct, then each game will take about 40 GB installed on the PS4, though I could be wrong. I am under the impression that disks are only for install. If you plan on having a large amount of games in play at one time, the 1tb would probably be better

I still have a 160gb ps3 and I have downloaded 3 games, 4 demos, 12 dlcs, and around 60 physical games and it's still ok

If that is the case then 500GB will be used up very quickly.

From what I know, the Current gen consoles handle storage differently than previous gen(think how the PS2 had 8mb storage) here is a site to look at install sizes http://www.finder.com/complete-list-playstation-4-install-sizes-460-titles


EDIT: my previous assumtion was a bit over, from the look of it, average install is about 25 GB, though they range from 7-45GB
