If you are considering purchasing a new Sony PlayStation 4 games console one officially launch later this week in the US on November 15th. You would be interested to know that the already small 500 GB hard drive which comes with your new next-generation PlayStation 4, will only provide around 400 GB of actual storage you will be able to use.
Sony does say that you can upgrade the 500 GB hard drive within the new PlayStation 4 games console. Using a hard drive of the same size but with a larger capacity or even offering faster performance via a solid state disk (SSD). But SSD drives over 500 GB in size will definitely set you back in a few hundred dollars or more.
