Sony’s PS4 is releasing soon, and most of its vital details have been revealed at this point. But there are still a million little questions like, “What titles will be available at launch?”, or “Is the hard drive upgradable?” Now Sony has released an exhaustive list of information about the Playstation 4 that should answer all your questions!
Sony has taken steps to cover all its bases with the massive PS4 compendium it released today. The “Ultimate PS4 FAQ” attempts to address every question that might arise before the release of the Sony’s Next-Gen Console. The Playstation 4 releases on November 15th in the U.S., and November 29th in Europe an other markets, so anything this FAQ might have missed will be revealed soon.
Until then, quite a few burning questions (and a few that are, frankly, pretty obscure) have been answered. As we’ve been hearing, the PS4 internal hard drive can be upgraded with a larger drive that fits certain specs. However, external hard drives aren’t compatible as storage for the console.
Of course, most people want to know about the launch line up. I have to say, it’s a little disappointing. But with the huge list of titles on deck, it shouldn’t be long until that line up is beefed up. Check out the list below, it’s followed by an excerpt of the System Details section of Sony’s FAQ.
