You can only store game data, apps and DLC, this will also be tied to the PS4 itself, not the user, but you will still require the owner of the relevant content to be signed in when you play. This will be for Primary systems only, you cannot store game data and use the HDD on another PS4 as it will require formatting to that system first.
Thanks for the help. I was mainly interested in finding out for the future when I get around to getting a PS4 Pro. Some of them are absolutely massive, especially ESO.
Or is that a feature not available, or thought of, yet? Thanks Val. I was just asking to future proof myself???? Options are always great! Just keep in mind you can only transfer game data to an external. No saves, themes, videos or screenshots. Any updates on this? Paranoimia the fact of the matter is that downloads on my xbox one are much much faster. Download speeds for that and my PS3 were always comparable. Even Xbox one maxes my connection that is direct competitor of Sony.
I actually have answer from you guys support in my email saying that bandwidth is limited to around 50 Mbps per connection, this can be worse with heavy traffic.
Thanks Ageranu for the tip! Have to give it a try. Is it possible to download my games in my friend ps4 then move it to my new ps4 because my old one not working? Your trophies are attached to your psn account but games would more than likely have to be reinstalled. Does the external USB need to have its own power suply, or does the PS4 power it throught the usb connector?
That depends on the hard drive. But 3. I think that depends on the type of HDD, as Bumblebee says. Which HDD is best? I have a seagate for my wii u and my ps4 is completely maxed out XD also, would I need a Y cable?
Why the pointless minimum size? If i install a agame to the external hard drive , will i still need to insert the disc to play the game? What happens if i lose my external drive with my games on can i redownload them or what and can i take my games on a external drive go to my friends house log in as me and play my games.
Now, if you try to start a game the following message will show up:. To install this application on another storage device, first delete it, and then download it again or insert the disc for it.
Your downloaded games will stay in your library — you could just re-download them to a new HDD. I have changed my internal HDD 2 years ago, since that time my console seems to run more hot, the fans are almost always on.
Or it will automaticly format the usb one? I know this question will be somewhat off topic, but I think it would be better to simply upgrade my internal HDD. But I am uncertain which internal HDD to purchase. Could someone link me the a good Internal HDD? Can we have a partition? I use an 8tb external for backups but really only need well under 4tb. Can I partition it and use half for backups from pc and half for PS4? What about Networked Attached Storage? Can I use same disk on another PS4 when I create my account there, so console can check I own content on it?
Why do I have to leave 50gb free on my internal hard drive in order to play games off my external hard drive? What a waste of space. I upgraded to a 1tb hdd while back,I still have my gb,so how do I attach it to use as an external drive? Some people are new to the PlayStation community or gaming in general.

Similar to Netflix, you get unlimited access to a myriad of movies and TV shows alike, including exclusives like The Marvelous Mrs. You can either buy or rent your favorite movies and TV shows.

Formerly known for having the biggest library of recent hit movies, Home Box Office's real draw over the last decade is its consistent slate of award-winning original shows see: Game of Thrones. HBO Go collects a wide swath of recent movies and almost every major program that's aired on the channel. Another bit of bad news comes in the form of a weird restriction that keeps Comcast subscribers from accessing HBO on PlayStation consoles whereas Xbox One owners can tie their Comcast accounts to their console.
Subs vs dubs? Goku vs Naruto? Crunchyroll vs Funimation? These sound like tough questions to answer, but they're not. Subs always beat dubs. Goku can destroy planets, so it's no contest there. And Crunchyroll offers shows for free as long as you can stomach a few advertisements. Its the clear winner. Former cable subscribers know how tough it is to make up for the sheer amount of content lost when cutting the cord. While the likes of Netflix and Hulu have quite a bit of content and great original programming to boot , most alternatives lack the depth of a pricy cable plan with a spacious DVR.
While it's still very limited in its availability, PlayStation Vue could become one of the biggest cable-killers around. PlayStation Vue offers dozens of the most popular channels either live or archived at prices far more accommodating than cable. It's also smarter than any cable option we've seen, giving suggestions on live programming based on what you've watched before and storing far more content than any DVR thanks to cloud saving.
PlayStation Vue is a cable competitor and is priced as such. On it, you can find any number of extreme sports, as well as some footage of the cool events the company sponsors year after year.
There's "live" TV there as well if you're just looking to be put on the edge of your seat, and plenty of channels if you're keyed into a specific interest. Don't be ashamed if you attempted to put a PlayStation 3 game in your PS4 after purchasing Sony's next-gen console. Both the PS2 and PS3 touted backwards compatibility as a major feature before the PS4 ditched it to focus more power on modern games.
