It's silly to buy digital versions games even on PS4, unless you're into deleting and redownloading that is. Patches, DLC, and downloadable only titles will fill up 500gb before the end of this generation. You'd need at least a 1tb hard drive to go fully digital with some semblance of sustainability, and even that won't last long if you're downloading several AAAs each year. For now just get the disc; that, at least, you own.

I dunno, I spooked and bought a 2tb HDD for my Wii U, thinking I would rather have too much space than too little. 2.5 years later, 26 retail games (and a handful of indies and VC) and it's still barely dented. Still have about 1.7tb left.
So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.

With all due respect, that's Wii U. Crossplatform Xbox / Playstation games come out in much greater quantity and in much larger file sizes. I wish the consoles could just be bought for $30-50 more with a larger hard drive.

Well point taken, but 2tb should be plenty sufficient for PS4/XB1 as well. The behemoth games seem to have install sizes around 50gb, of which 40 would fit on a 2tb drive. Very few people ever buy that many games for a single console. Typical software tie ratios are around 8-12, I think.
I almost think consoles should just ship with a barebones internal drive and have 100% compatibility and support with external drives. That would keep entry price low. Consumers are kinda dumb and consider entry price more important than overall cost. But that's kind of 'anti-console.' The whole point of a console is to have a machine that works perfectly out of the box without any need for extra considerations.

Yeah, I don't see why they couldn't ship different sized hard drives with higher price points, especially as well as these systems are selling.

You're going to need to expand your hard drives on PS4 and Xbox One regardless if you go digital or physical due to mandatory installs.

DLC quests on top of the 200 hour game?
For once, I'm guessing I won't be needing the DLC. Unless it adds new locations or has particularly interesting mechanics.
There's 32 player groups for more efficient exploration and 4 player simultaneous online co-op. This game is going to be absolutely phenomenal. I hope we can play it soon! If it takes 32 people to explore efficiently, could you imagine trying to explore the entire game by yourself?
I like that you can download free packs from the eshop to largely reduce load times. 10GB is a lot but I guess if you don't download the packs then it'll be a Sonic 06 esque experience.
Looks like it's finally time for me to buy an external HD...still buying physical though.
Same here... but how do I buy an external HD? How do we do that? Can you please tell me how to do it? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
You can find them at most retailers. I'd try Best Buy first. 1TB hard drives are about $45-50 usually. Personally I might just take the HD out of an old laptop, buy an enclosure, and format it.
Every time they release a new video for this game I swear to myself I won't watch it, but I ALWAYS do. The new videos they posted about Dolls ... I can't wait for this game!!!
I'm hoping we'll be able to customize the color of our Dolls. I want a blue one ^_^
