PS4 WILL NOT support external HDDs

[quote]Sony has just posted a massive PS4 FAQ on the PlayStation Blog, and it's full of granular details surrounding the next-gen console. One noteworthy piece of news: the PS4 won't support external hard drives, although the internal hard drive will be swappable.
So no, you can't plug another hard drive into your machine for extra storage, Sony says. But you can upgrade the 500 GB hard drive that comes with the PS4, so long as it meets certain standards:
[quote]"PS4 is equipped with a 5400 RPM SATA II hard drive. Users can choose to install a new hard drive so long as it complies with these standards, is no thicker than 9.5mm, and is larger than 160GB."[/quote]
[/quote]
I thought Sony already said that they would support external HDDs already...
This is a completely stupid move on Sony's behalf. I hope they'll change their mind. At least you can still freely upgrade your internal HDD though.

Sony will [b]NOT[/b] support: External hard drives USB media media servers CD playback MP3 playback DLNA If you want to listen to music or play background music while gaming, you must use Sony's Music Unlimited subscription based service; however there will be no music visualizer. [b]EDIT: I forgot to mention that Sony also 'clarified' that remote play will only work over local WiFi...[/b] You must also download the day one patch before you can use the BlueRay player for movies.
