Its been awhile since I looked at backup stuff on the PS3 (and I do not know about the PS4), but I think they have two services, a "data transfer" service, which lets you back up (all) game data from one PS3 to an external drive. And a system backup which copies everything, OS and all.

When you said that, I could not help but picture Finding Nemo.

We are talking about graphics (thus the 1080p reference), not about "fun" which is a different metric altogether. Personally I find nearly all FPS games like BF4, COD, Halo, etc..., to be complete trash, so I am not defending them when measured by "joy". That is not the point of this article or of the poster that I…

To me the location of the left analog stick is the most important, I cannot use a controller where the left analog is where its at on the XBox. I never had any issues with the PS3 controller, so for me it was a winner, and if they say the PS4 controller is even better, then I am really excited.

I believe you need to install the OS since that resides on the HDD you removed. Sony has a "full update" you can download from their website for this purpose.

If its anything like the PS3 (which is very likely) then yes its proprietary. However both the PS3 and PS4 have the ability to do a full backup (and restore) to and from an external drive, so its a moot point because you can still replace your drive and backup/restore quite easily.

With the PS3 and 360 this was definitely an issue with some games that tried to maximize load by reading from the HDD and optical drives at the same time (and of course, suffered when they were fully installed and could only read from the HDD) but as the PS4 and XBox One both install the game from the HDD and only…

I will most definitely do this!

The warrenty is granted through Sony, your country may have additional (on top of) requirements, but Sony has already said that replacing your HDD will not void your warranty with them, replacing your HDD is part of functionality of the device, you are full of it if you think it voids your warranty, no matter where…

External drives are no different than internal ones, in fact they tend to be exactly the same thing, except in a plastic shell and through USB 3.0 the interface is not going to be a bottle neck, it can transmit data much, much, faster than any hard drive can read it.

Hooking up an external drive to a console is ugly enough (I know, not quite a deal breaker) but with the only USB ports on the XBox One on the back (have to pull it out to get to them) or the one on the right side (have to rotate it, in any of my entertainment centers to get to it), its not as ideal of a solution as…

I do not really care about the price of games. With that being said, I typically purchase games I like on day one, which means they will be full price, even on Steam. After a few month/year if I picked a game up, they are often very cheap, and with PS+ I get an amazing library of "free" games that I can't even keep…

I would agree in that aspect, but if you have ever played games like FFXIV where on the PC you can see 100 enemies in front of you, but you can only see 20 of them on the PS3 (more of you reduce the quality) because it culls after a certain number, then the ability to push more pixels becomes not only helpful, but…

There are algorithms that dont just stretch the image by replicating certain pixels (like a pure scale would do) but try and calculate new pixels. For example, stretch an image with no smoothing, and see what it does, and then stretch one with various smoothing algorithms, its quite a different image. At the end of…

The amount of games exclusive to the PC is dwindling, while the amount exclusive to the consoles are increasing. All things being equal, I would rather a small box, that is a static target for developers, that has a controller, and a large selection of games that I know will run for years without having to upgrade,…

You cannot use a racing game as a metric for this, the PS3 runs GT5 in 1080p @ 60fps. I am quite sure that you could have a 1080p @60 racing game on the Atari 2600, there is just not a lot going on in a racing game so you can up the resolution, because you are doing very little processing other than the (few) cars…

Why do you buy a new car when the one from 1980 still goes the same speed as the one from 2013? New features, new model, new hardware, updated software, etc..., etc..., there is a lot more to buying a new system than the screen resolution.

Not even remotely comparable. I would not care if I could run the games at 4k for half the cost of the consoles, its not the reason that console users choose consoles, so let it go already.

There are a few things wrong with your statement.

They did do an article on the controllers, and did give the 'Edge' to the PS4. (The article was a comparison of the two consoles entirely)
