Playstation 4 Hard Drive upgraded...

Just stuck a Seagate 1TB Hybrid upgrade in the beast .....Lovely Jubley

I've heard the Wii U called many thing Timey but never "the beast"

Nar I've got a massive Flash drive in the Wii U its 32 Gig and not upgradable,but it doesn't need to have to much space as it don't install all the games unlike the Playstation 4 and Xbox one.

Ya Cheeky monkey you

Just got to go back to basics now and do a lot of downloading and installing all over again,got to download me Battlefield Premium stuff and install that game and Killzone Shadowfall.

Already done Resogun,Flower and Flow

Update please. Did you knacker it?

No mate it was really simple,the only problem i had was with the Usb stick and it saying corrupted firmware so i downloaded it again and deleted and formatted the usb Flash drive and it was then a simple procedure.

I have another announcement tomorrow��The clue for today is a now have a Trio of stuff ?

A Trio as in One?

Knew he wouldn't resist for long!!

As in Xbox One due here tomorrow with this Ryse game.

And who would have thought I would be back to all the current gaming machines when only a few months back I said I was sticking purely with the Playstation 4 ...

Could not resist the Wii U because of Zelda and Mario 3D and Pikmin 3 and I know that within a few months when Titanfall ships and other stuff I would have bought one.

So I decided let's just rig it all up now and test Jaxx theory of how good he thinks the Xbox One actually is .

There's no fooling you two is there

Nice one have you noticed any performance increase since upgrading it to a Hybrid drive ?

Look forward to seeing what you think of the Xbox and how it compares to the PS4

Trance I had to reinstall Battlefield 4 and Killzone and the only performance I have seen really are the guys with the YouTube videos comparing the standard HDD Drive in the Playstation 4 ,then the Hybrid Drive and then the ultra expensive SSD drives that cost a small fortune.

I think the installation speed would be limited by the disk drive if it is a physical copy.. how about load times, or installing a digital copy ?

Check this Video out Trance

As you can see the Hybrid Drive performs very well against the expensive SSD Drive

Put a video in the previous post, to be honest mate I know the Hybrid drive is faster from the videos I watched, especially This One but I didn't do it for loading time and speed improvements but for more space even though I know it performs better.

I never ever had a Stop watch when installing and loading games in the first place,I have watched some negative stuff surrounding the Xbox One and it's install procedure ,apparently the Game Ryse is only playable after waiting about 30 minutes.

The Playstation 4 is way quicker at installing games and it's only a matter if a minute before you can start playing any Playstation 4 game.

And this Sucker has just bought one and I read this on N4G 10 minutes later, it's not a deal breaker but waiting up to 30 minutes to play a game is criminal for a next generation console if this is indeed true,Jaxx would know but he isn't around at present and I will take what Jaxxy says more serious than other media I have read ,as long as he does not speak with Fork tongue and tells the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Jaxx swears by his Xbox One and he seems well impressed and that's a good enough reason for me to want one,to be honest just before the Playstation 4 was about to ship to myself around the 25 November Shopto.net had a limited amount if Xbox One launch bundles on there site for a few days,I went to order one about 24 hours later and they had sold out.

So in theory I would have had both at the same time if I had ordered when I first saw the opportunity but declined and missed them next day.

Now I don't know if Microsoft supply chain is better than Sony but you can basically pick up a Xbox One anywhere know and you can not find a Playstation 4 for love or Money, Shopto have every bundle on there site and in Game today when I was out shopping that had plenty in that particular shop,but I hate game and ordered when I got home .

Cheers that's a great video Hybrid is the way to go then. Definitely no point going for a SSD and actually there isn't all that much difference between the standard HDD and the hybrid but still it's worth it for not much more money.

yes I dont get why people benchmark install times, plus install speed isnt that important, its loading times during gameplay.

Think all I'm going to say is ��Wow its Massive��.Sort of thing my Girlfriend says most days

Ryse is suppose to look like the best of all the next generation games but didn't exactly bowl reviewers of the game over and only really got mediocre scores at best,but then again Killzone Shadowfall had some of the same so guess its horses for courses ��..I think we got to wait until March and Titanfall and the Playstation 4 exclusives to really get the full potential of both systems��..Im just praying smoke don't start coming out of this Xbox one like the couple of Youtube videos i watched the past few days.

Already sent a faulty Playstation 4 back so I'm not going to be to impressed if indeed lightening strikes twice,i know one thing I'm running out of HD ports with the Sky,Nintendo Wii U and Playstation 4 and now this Xbox One.

I only wish that they had released the systems with some real killer games��..But thats console launches for you and the only few times i can think of a system and a killer game system seller would be Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 and Halo on the original Xbox.

Good video, so it seems even a 1TB drive isn't going to take much to fill. Buy the time I get around to buying my PS4 2TB drives should be cheap

can't remember where i heard/read it now but apparently some time in the new year the xbone will be getting a makeover already!! maybe a bigger hdd or the ability to officially change it yourself?

So you got your Xbox now ?

Yeah its here mate but have yet to set it up ,it came at 11am this morning and i ordered it at 5pm the previous day and the DPD tracking and Shopto.net service is excellent.

Bit worried though as i had ordered the Ryse Edition Xbox One and what seems to have arrived after i exposed the console is just the Xbox One and unless its tucked away in the tight fitting contents box i fear they have sent me just the Xbox One.

Funny when i look on the site at the package it does not say anything on the box about Ryse and the game is separate from the box and on the side,me thinks they have forgot to bundle the game with the system.

Will set it up later but seems no games to test it ?

Hurry up and get it set up we want your comparison/review

Will do later Swanny i promise�.And a happy new year to you matey Premature i know but thats basically me all over .

Will give you the low down later on this New years evening but it could be later and more like new years day .

Might have to get Dead Rising on Thursday if they have forgotten this Ryse game .

Could it be a digital copy ?

This is what i bought Trance

Unless its in the box which i doubt very much and there is no mention of any game included on the box ?

so with a couple of days of it in was my feeling of the hybrid drive been good true you feel?

I brought a 500gig hdd for my ps3 after my psn splurge 2 nights ago. That splurge filled the 120gig hdd in there. However I had no idea if the ps3 would handle the new hdd ok (4k advanced format drive). Luckily seems ok, as was a few reports of stuttering with 4k drives.

Seems like it's not there then but why not just look inside the box?

To be honest mate I have done very little in the way of Gaming over this Christmas period so it's hard to say
