Man, I gotta say it, but the amount of HDD space required on PS4 is a joke :pacspit:

5 gigs is 5120 megabytes.

5120/50 is 102.4. So if you get 50 every second perfectly. It should only take 102.5 seconds to get to 5120.

I realize there will always be fluctuations and differences between the server and client side etc.

And actually getting a perfect download speed like that's pretty much impossible. Too many variables.

How was my math wrong though?

Not even trollin maybe im ignorant to something.
I'm not even attempting to do the math myself:pachaha:

Download Time Calculator - calculate download time

I think you are getting bits and bytes mixed up. 1gigabyte is 8000 megabits.

So by my corrected math at 25mbps it should have taken about 26 minutes. That could've been closer to what it was. Like I said I didn't time it. Felt like 10 minutes though.

Some of us don't have a choice :mjcry:

Comcast is throttling me to 600 kp/s. I'm preloading Doom now, and it says it's gonna take 20 hours to complete :mjcry:

It took me 5 hours to download the Uncharted day 1 patch :mjcry:

That is unacceptable. My phone connection is much faster than that.

Breh, comcast is on my ass for downloading so much. First I got a VPN, and that worked for a few months. Then they got wise to that, and turned my download speed to 100 kbps when my VPN was on. Then, I used to change my mac address and get back to normal speeds, but then they found away around that (I don't know how...it worked great for like 6 months :mindblown: ). Then I got a new wifi connector, which worked for a few months, but then they got wise to that. I don't know what to do now. They stopped all my workarounds. Plus, of course when I call them, they're like "no, we're not throttling you." I'm like on my phone wifi I can pull 40 down, but on my computer you limit me to 800kps. They're like "well, it must be your computer." I'm like "no, it worked perfectly find before, then you started throttling it." They're like "we don't throttle." I then am like :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:, which gets me nowhere.

Luckily, I'm looking to move to a new place soon. I hope they have Verizon FIOS :sadcam:

uncharted FINALLY arrived via amazon and I go and put this piff in, and of course I cannot play it cuz my hard drive is full.

I swear that shyt is ALWAYS full. and its only cuz of the games. and if a game is installing 50+GB on my HDD, why do I still need the disc to play it????

after like 5 or 6 games, I gotta go in and delete the damn game off the HDD. why can't I rotate between GTA V, 2k16, MGS V, uncharted collection, R&C, the division, and batman arkham knight with reckless abandon???? :wtf:

and whats even crazier is that even with these massive installs, the games still load at times.

I could understand a 1GB-10GB install for each game. but they are pissing me off with 50-60GB these days :ucku:
Once upon a time, this company by the name of Microsoft tried to create a system that would eleviate all of these issues and more.
You being a blind fanboy cried foul, said they wanted to look into your living rooms (like if they couldn't do that via your phone/PC/etc) and they wanted to control all your games :snoop: Yeah, they wanted to control it so you can use them forever (hello backwords compatibility :win: )

Fast forward to now, half of us ONLY DOWNLOAD GAMES while the other half still has disc and HATES IT :mindblown:
Reality is this.. unless you selling your games within weeks, there is no resell value for your games. You can sometimes do a big 3 game trade in for one title.. and you'll feel like you got GOT.. cuz you did.

Like, fukk all this fukkboy shyt. Greener side still feeding nikkaz. the XB2 will have this gen games in 4K while the PS4K will keep yall at 1080p all day long. Everybody wins :handshake:

Is that hard to do?

My cousin who got a Ps4 last year did it with little to no fuss. He opened it up, pulled out the current drive, swapped in the one he bought. Downloaded the ps4 OS on a flash, plugged it in, installed it on the hard drive and was good to go.

I was in and out when he was doing it buy he said its easy enough. Check a few youtube vids on it. Doesn't look like anything super technical and the fact that Sony has the operating system on their website if I'm not mistaken sorta gives your the notion that they made concessions for brehs who wanted to swap out hard drives which is cool in my opinion.
