THAT’S RIGHT! … call tumblr… I called you all dumb faces!

So once again digital download is superior to having the disc – unless you have a very slow Internet connection – and by slow I mean under 10 Mb per second

First off, the digital download of any PlayStation four game is the exact same version as the disc game – there are no differences whatsoever. I have compared this for myself. The only differences is that if is a collectors edition of the game with special book’s figurines statues etc. you don’t get that, but you get the full size of the game with all features of a collectors addition – it’s just called a deluxe addition for digital. And believe me after you download 60 GB – that is the size of a full game as the PS four Blu-ray drive is capable of only holding 50 GB. So by going digital developers can actually not compress textures as much as they have to do cram them onto a Blu-ray drive

First off the PlayStation fours hard drive can easily be replaced with a 2.5 TB drive with the same physical dimensions. That’s the current limitation as drives larger than that are full-size hard drives. However, even then you can get a special kit which runs a cable from the inside of your PS four to an external box that I can hold up to a 4 TB hard drive. So just space on the PS four is really not an issue

The other issue I have with this article is they claim that the sizes of downloads are unrealistic to people with broadband Internet. Nowadays the average household has anywhere between 22 Mb per second and up to 100 Mb per second with the PSN limiting downloads to about 50 Mb per second.

Here’s how the PS four actually works. If the game is 60 GB in size, the PS four will download 4 to 6 GB of the initial game. After that, it will continue to download the rest of the game in the background – even if you are not lying. All you have to do is leave PlayStation in sleep mode versus offload and it will finish downloading the product, for some people this may mean an hour or two, and for other people a day or two. Granted if you download the first few gigabytes and try to jump right into the game, depending on The speed of your Internet, your gameplay may be halted until more the game can be played. However if you always leave the PlayStation four in sleep mode this is a non-issue – unless you’re up at midnight trying to download and play day one digital with the slower Internet connection.

And back to the hard drive, it is really easy to replace. As long as all of your saved games are stored on the cloud, and you don’t have any special pictures on the machine you can simply yanked out the old hard drive and plug in the new one – it’s plug-and-play very easy.

Having a 2.5 TB hard drive has allowed me to have about 100 PlayStation PS four games currently installed on my PS four. My Internet connection is 112 Mb per second. So 60 GB game will finish downloading within a matter of hours. So I either go play another game whileit’s finishing, Play the actual game as it downloads because if you are downloading at the PlayStation network’s cap, you shouldn’t have an issue.

Clearly this article was written by somebody who either has serious lack of knowledge of the PS four, or somebody has a serious bias against the PS four

I also don’t understand all these words about how can’t you play the game _you own_. Yes, you own it, you’ve paid your money for it, now you just have to wait a bit for it to get downloaded. You can download it infinite amount of times, on any XO/PS4 console, what’s the problem?

I think the only problem here is that somebody just doesn’t get the point of digital purchases. I am actually happy that industry is shifting towards digital downloads, as it allows us to clean up our rooms, share games with friends easily, keep them forever and not be afraid for a disc to break.
