These visuals just made me purchase.Come join us console peasants, it's better over here
I just wish microsoft would have delayed their launch 6-8 months when they knew they were going to lose and redesign the motherfucker. Better to be a year late on a 10 year lifespan console than to not even be equipped to fight on day one. The penalties they paid couldn't have been any worse than the billions they lost on the rrod fiasco with the 360.

I know with the WiiU you can attach an external HDD via the USB connection. I haven't heard whether or not you can with the PS4. I would think it would be possible, but since it hasn't been brought up just figured I'd ask here if anyone knows if it can or now.
Disagree. There's no bigger disaster than a console that's crippled for its entire life cycle and that's where this is likely to go. They just plain weren't ready for this and it's going to bite them in the ass. They clearly were blindsided and were not ready to release this year. Hell, they hadn't even tested anything for a public response with the sheer amount of shit that they had to back pedal on.
The Xbone is going to be lucky to hit Gamecube numbers. Microsoft's only hope here is to dump truckloads of money into first party studios and exclusive games and hope that they are good enough to float a system on.
Holding off for a year and making sure that the system architecture was solid and ready to go, the dev tools were up to snuff, and that people would be receptive to their Digital Future ideas would have been far better than rushing out and getting kicked in the nuts like they did.

Well shit. There goes that idea of having every game "installed" on the external and just swapping them out with the base HD : /

usb3 (blue) is extremely fast, pretty much the same speed as an internal 7200rpm. On average reads are going to be around 220 MB/s for internal SSD, 100-150MB/s for usb3/7200, and 30-40MB/s for usb2.0. I use a 2tb USB3 drive for my boxee and I regularly copy 20-50g of movies within 1-3 mins, compared to 15m+ minutes on my old USB2.0 drive.

There's been some bizarre conversions I've seen on the net - but no normal ones
