Wish Xbox One allowed this.... not happy about that. Also not happy about USB being on the side of the unit. How stupid. If I want to watch a movie on USB stick (assuming I can) I have to reach around int he dark. Cmon, MS, really?

How do we add enough "value" to a bog standard 2.5" drive to make it look like it's worth the $99 starting price...I'd rather just go for a 2T 2.5" drive that are coming out this year. But then again, no PS4 here yet. Too many goodies on PSN+ for the PS3... PS4 might start making sense a year or two down the road.IB

Well, when I'm ready to upgrade my new PS4 this year, I'll just use the same tools and equipment I used when upgrading both my PS3s.

"DIY bundles include everything needed to upgrade/replace existing 2.5 inch drive and transfer gaming data to new drive,"So... a HDD, an enclosure, USB cable and a screwdriver? ...What's the point?

The company says that this kit will not only add capacity, but boost performance up to 40 percent faster than the stock drive, thus reducing system load time.

So the bundle includes an SSD as well?
I'd rather buy the SSD alone; I've got enough screwdrivers already.

I would avoid anything OWC. All the replacement hard drives we got from OWC for our Apple laptops failed within 3 months. Never failed they would fail. I'd wait.

Well with a little bit of effort you can make an "external" desktop sized hard drive work with the PS4 no problem: http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/01/14/crafty-gamer-modifies-ps4-to-run-with-2-tb-external-sshd-drive-claims-better-and-cooler-performance/
