Please house, I have a PlayStation 3 with 10 games loaded on the external hard drive, just got a PlayStation 4 as gift, I'm wondering if same can be done for the PlayStation 4. The CDs are damn too expensive. Can I load games into an external hard drive and play from it?

With the 4.50 patch, you're now able to store and play your games on an external HDD on the PS4, the PS4 will have to reformat the HDD first, after that you're good to go.

thanks for the reply, but how do I save the game on the ext HDD? Is it from the PlayStation 4 CD or I have to download it from the Internet?

Both. I'm assuming the Internet bit means the PSN store...

okay. I guess it's best I go to a game store and have them load games on the ext HDD. Thank for the tip

I think what he's asking is if he can load pirated games on the PS4 external hard drive ...without the physical CD ...

No you can't .

Just know that when you start buying games always look at your wardrobe and make sure you have more clothes than games .

Don't make the same mistake I did .

lol. Can't buy a CD for 20k. Rather stick with PS3.

this is the only thing stoping me from buying a ps4 righnow. but you should take into consideration that an extra ps4 pad cost 20k too.

Gaming is expensive generally ....depending on the type of games you like ...we generally buy and sell to offset your opportunity cost .

I'd say ...stick to games that give you the most happiness .

Some games are actually cheaper now than they were last year .

For me ...all then biohazard and the triple titles .. I can wait till next year to play them ...as they aren't my cup of tea .

I prefer games with local co-op ...FIFA , UFC 2 it's worth the bread when your mates are around .

All the best enjoy .
