I did not know that you could switch TV and games with the PS4, really? is this possible?
Yeah that's awesome.
I like how if you run out of storage on one it will automatically start saving things on whatever has space.

Yeah, that's what I'm looking at getting too. For a 2.5" drive, that's as big as you can get I believe and it'll be plenty fast enough.

So I could have my entire x1 library on a single drive and be able to play all of them at my friends house? Jesus that's badass.
What do these features have to do with 180's? They weren't there, and soon they will? That's a stretch.
100 percent this...100 dollars can buy you 3 tb...and you can add two...how much better can it get (answer...it can't)
They did. Only 32GB max limit and two devices so only up to 64GB storage increase.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Great news.
MS has been stepping up its game in the last few weeks. Hope they have an equally strong E3 and aren't blowing all of their load preemptively.

If they're digital downloads you'll need to be signed in.
If they're disk-installs you'll need to take the disk
The hard drive isn't locked to a console, so they can't prove you own the game without one of those two. (Oh to have had the original DRM plan ;-))
Games with Gold
Paid apps are now free
Blu ray
The list goes on.
Come on man, let's not do this in this thread.

Its possible but it does not work properly or with all TVs that are HDMI-CEC certified.
Just get a 3.5" drive, should be cheaper.
Cheaper and faster because most 2,5" drives are 5200rpm.

Paid multiplayer... 360 is Sony's role model too ;-(
They allowed USB stick support on 360, not external hdd.

Exactly what I said before. Both console take from each other.
Strange how a lot of people are fiercely battling this.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
This reminds me of how fucking expensive Amazon.ca is compare to Amazon.com. So hate it. US Amazon, you can get the 4TB with the same price. I mean common?

From what I understand the hdd will already have your profile on it.
Man...what a piece of work this dude is.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Also, do you realize that adding MORE external storage is a simple easy prospect... installing a new drive in your PS3/PS4.. especially if you have data is much more of a time consuming process.
Give MS props for doing something good.. anyone painting this is anything but good has some kind of agenda.
I believe you can set either to be the default and then it will spill over into the other.

But that's not fun, its better to be faux concerned about what PS4 doesn't have than to rejoice you have something.
Doesnt even start there. We could go all the way back to trophies lol.
Regardless its a good thing that we have both. Well, at least some of us do
.The updates on both ends have been great and will only get better as they check each others bullet points.

External HD support is great, I’ve already run out and will be going out to buy a new external HD within the next month or so. The whole bringing the HD to a friends house only really is a bonus for digital buyers though, right? I mean I assume you’ll still need the physical disk in the console and the HD it’s install on attached in order to play the game. Otherwise what’s stopping me buying a game, installing it on one external HD (giving that to a friend) then installing it on my HD? I know before the whole #NoDRM debacle MS said something about family sharing games (something I was really looking forward too), I wonder if we will see this eventually come about again?

Challange accepted!
That HD looks like it might have an external power source (not powered over USB), does anyone know if the XB1 USB ports give out enough juice to power an external HD without an external power adaptor?
Refer to my previous comment before trying to insult me, thanks.
Oh sweet.

Still no 'Xbox, screenshot" voice command?

Why are you in this thread? Ask yourself that question.

Nope they allowed external storage. You could also connect a USB 2.0 HDD. Of course the same 32GB limit applied so only 32GB of that HDD's storage were formatted to be used by the console.
Do you even read what you're quoting? Come on, son.
Not once have I said this isn't a good move.
Two of your examples are XBL vs PSN features, and not X1 vs PS4 features.
And the third one... BluRay? Seriously?... What do you expect them to do, ship it with a DVD drive in 2014?
The most requested features for Xbox One users are generally to do with customisation (Xbox 360), background audio and media playback (Xbox 360), guide button functionality (Xbox 360) and quick achievements access (Xbox 360). Ones that have already made it across were improved party chat (Xbox 360) and friend notifications (Xbox 360).
The PS4 has very little bearing on what most Xbox owners want from their Xbox One. There is the screenshots, and prior to that there was Twitch streaming.. but Twitch was already happening anyway and simply wasn't ready for launch.
It seems like such an easy and obvious thing to add if they could, it makes me wonder if perhaps something about the Xbone's render pipeline/RAM setup makes it impossible or very difficult for them.

You're the first poster I thought of when I saw it.
It looked that way in the video at least
