    Tempted. Is the memory enough for a casual gamer?

    500Gb- however, you can easily upgrade it if you want more (there are numerous videos on Youtube which detail step-by-step how to do so).

    You can plug an external HDD in now (at last) via USB..

    Its handier just swapping out the hard-drive- but yes, the ability to use a USB drive is compelling.

    It is a lot easier to plug an external drive into the usb port than remove the old HDD, fit the new HDD to the casing and put back into the PS4.

    I know neither are a massive job but the external is really handy especially if your games are digital and you want to bring them to a friend's.

    Pop it in a backpack and bring the machine and your controllers etc with you.
    Nice backpacks for just this purpose on Amazon- and a few speciality bag sellers (hell, even Kipling do one).

    They'll give you less than CEX. PS3 and 360 games are virtually worthless now.

    Rumors are that this will be a permanent cut post Monday E3. A USB drive is more convienent and faster actually due ot hte slow SATA port in PS4 (and Xbox One). And you can move your games around or format base unit without downloading everything again. Make sure you buy a USB 3.0 only external HDD, not a 2.0/3.0 one some stores are still trying to peddle

    If you have bought it when the deal is on they will honour the price.

    external HDDs are the only way to go as your built-in HDD will likely have games/saves/settings that you downloaded prior to filling up the drive, and the hassle of having to re-download/re-configure the lot is a joy.

    Plus as mentioned before you can transport external drives and swap in new ones instantly.
