Hell, I even had to trick my Skype program not to save things automatically to the C drive.
|
|
|
22:51:39
|
|
|
So it's a real good idea not to fill one up, and not to use it to store new data that doesn't require quick access. Just a few select things that you want to run very smoothly.
|
|
|
22:49:11
|
|
|
And yeah, they degrade. Their performance dulls over time and because of the way they store data they can only be rewritten so many times before they break.
|
|
|
22:48:39
|
|
|
I wouldn't waste one on a laptop, especially at the current price point.
|
|
|
22:47:39
|
|
|
|
22:47:34
|
|
|
|
22:47:32
|
|
|
I've wanted one since my new laptop has room for two hard drives, hoping to put the OS and maybe some games on it for fast loading
|
|
|
22:47:02
|
|
|
|
22:38:29
|
|
|
If they can solve the degradation problem, that would be pretty cool too.
|
|
|
22:36:08
|
|
|
Though prohibitively small at this point. I just have my OS on this one.
|
|
|
22:35:51
|
|
|
I have one of them, and damn it's pretty cool.
|
|
|
22:35:39
|
|
|
No moving parts, instantaneous loading. My body is ready.
|
|
|
22:35:38
|
|
|
They'll get there. Already dropping in price.
|
|
|
22:35:05
|
|
|
It's starting to make more traditional storage even cheaper than it already was.
|
|
|
22:35:04
|
|
|
I just want SSDs to get cheap enough for mass storage.
|
|
|
22:34:47
|
|
|
Solid state drives are the new hotness.
|
|
|
22:34:36
|
|
Of course, it's not external. BUT MY POINT STANDS. 
|
|
|
22:32:49
|
|
|
That one goes for $60 which is the price of a game here.
|
|
|
22:32:33
|
|
|
They're already cheap as hell.
|
|
|
22:32:27
|
|
|
|
22:32:14
|
|
|
|
22:32:09
|
|
|
So it is theoretically meant to store other stuff other than games. Although that's what the cloud's for...
|
|
|
22:31:42
|
|
|
Yeah, but you're missing the part where it is supposed to be the center of your liing room.
|
|
|
22:30:37
|
|
|
And if 500 is as laughable as 20 in 5 years time, then a 2TB external should be cheap as chips
|
|
|
22:29:37
|
|
|
And you can always delete it when you're done and reinstall when/if you want to revisit it.
|
|
|
22:28:21
|
|
|
Even if you assume that most games will be ~50GB, that's still 10 whole games
|
|
|
22:28:03
|
|
|
All that CG. All that uncompressed audio. Multiple language tracks, etc.
|
|
|
22:27:39
|
|
|
A Naughty Dog game for PS3 averages 50GB. But they're on the high end of the spectrum.
|
|
|
22:26:42
|
|
|
Size probably won't increase so dramatically
|
|
|
22:26:33
|
|
|
The internal is 500G? Not too shabby.
|
|
|
22:25:38
|
|
|
You can always reinstall them if you want to replay them.
|
|
|
22:25:16
|
|
|
THEN DELETE SOME OF YOUR GAMES.
|
|
|
22:25:10
|
|
|
I think the only think I like from Xbox One is the new controller.
|
|
|
22:24:39
|
|
|
|
22:24:31
|
|
|
|
22:24:03
|
|
|
In 5 years 500gb might be a small amount, like 80gb are now.
|
|
|
22:23:42
|
|
|
I'm talking about the console, not the games.
|
|
|
22:23:07
|
|
|
Yup, that's precisely why the Wii U doesn't get a pass
|
|
|
22:22:38
|
|
|
8GB. One update. You're out of space.
|
|
|
22:22:17
|
|
|
It's pretty obvious what it's for
|
|
|
22:22:10
|
|
|
This isn't exactly a Wii U situation. 8GB for basic. 32GB for premium. Because wow, that's just so much space in 2013.
|
|
|
22:21:49
|
|
|
On the side of the console is a lone USB port
|
|
|
22:21:09
|
|
|
500GB is a lot, but the ability to use an external hard drive is for power users
|
|
|
22:20:03
|
|
|
|
22:19:54
|
|
|
How many 5 year old games do you still play regularly?
|
|
|
22:19:08
|
|
|
|
22:18:54
|
|
|
I still use my 80gb PS3, but I had to delete a lot of videos to install Bioshock for example.
|
|
|
22:18:26
|
|
|
What if in 5 years you need more room?
|
|
|
22:18:15
|
|
|
Oh, right. Good ole Australian retailers.
|
|
|
22:18:10
|
|
And we couldn't have that 
|
|
|
22:17:46
|
|
|
It would have given an alternative to shelling out 1000 dollary-doos
|
|
|
22:17:07
|
|
|
We never got the 20GB PS3 here
|
|
|
22:16:38
|
|
|
And I remember the basic one just used a memory card.
|
|
|
22:16:07
|
|
|
My original 360 only had a 20GB as well.
|
|
|
22:15:37
|
|
|
Remember one of the launch models with a 20GB? Oh man, we were all so naive then.
|
|
|
22:14:42
|
|
|
I could really use a larger hard drive for my 80GB PS3, but it's such a chore
|
|
|
22:14:02
|
|
|
I sincerely can't remember if I did or not.
|
|
|
22:13:55
|
|
|
Since the internal is 500GB, externals are fine
|
|
|
22:13:37
|
|
|
You're telling me you didn't taunt in Smash Bros. Jake? COME ON MAN.
|
|
|
22:13:23
|
|
|
|
22:11:55
|
|
|
POWER AND CONTROL. I'M GONNA MAKE YOU FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL.
|
|
|
22:10:36
|
|
|
|
22:09:58
|
|
|
You won't be able to replace Xbox One's HDD, but it will let you store content in external ones. LOL
|
|
|
22:02:18
|
|
|
... Oh my god. I don't know if I ever knew that. AND MY TEN YEAR OLD SELF READ THE MANUAL.
|
|
|
22:01:36
|
|
|
It did taunts in Super Smash Bros.
|
|
|
22:01:14
|
|
|
I can't think of a single game where I actually used it.
|
|
|
22:00:54
|
|
|
Yeah, it was vestigial really.
|
|
|
22:00:22
|
|
|
|
22:00:11
|
|
|
But wasn't the D-pad rendered mostly useless by the control stick?
|
|
|
21:59:38
|
|
|
The C-pad. It was mainly used for camera control.
|
|
|
21:58:05
|
|
|
I know one of the pads was almost never required to be used.
|
|
|
21:57:56
|
|
|
|
21:57:45
|
|
|
Right hand, middle hold. Left hand, left hold. Or left hand, middle hold, right hand, right hold.
|
|
|
21:57:42
|
|
|
|
21:57:20
|
|
|
I did actually during particularly intense scenarios when a lot of turning was required.
|
|
|
21:57:07
|
|
|
|
21:56:35
|
|
|
... You didn't use your palm?
|
|
|
21:54:24
|
|
|
Surprised I don't have carpal tunnel in my thumbs from that damn control stick honestly.
|
|
|
21:53:45
|
|
|
Warioware does it better now.
|
|
|
21:52:46
|
|
|
And yeah. It was great when I was nine.
|
|
|
21:52:26
|
|
|
God, Mario Party made me hate the control stick so much.
|
|
|
21:52:15
|
|
|
Mario Party was good before I realized that everything came down to rapid button presses.
|
|
|
21:51:38
|
|
|
For drilling holes in the hands of the Mario Party-playing youngsters.
|
|
|
21:50:33
|
|
|
Years later, they still struggle with the concept of marketing.
|
|
|
21:50:23
|
|
|
|
21:50:13
|
|
|
And Sega was learning that you can't just surprise-launch a console and expect it to do well.
|
|
|
21:49:53
|
|
|
An arm we should have coming out of our bellybuttons apparently.
|
|
|
21:49:40
|
|
|
Sony was all "Do whatever the fuck you want, we got tha seedees."
|
|
|
21:49:11
|
|
|
WHAT WAS THE THIRD HANDHOLD FOR?
|
|
|
21:49:04
|
|
|
Oh man, those controllers.
|
|
|
21:48:40
|
|
|
And wasn't the architecture balls weird?
|
|
|
21:48:31
|
|
|
But they arrogantly refused to acknowledge the potential of optical media, opting for expensive cartridges instead.
|
|
|
21:47:59
|
|
|
But I suppose, relatively compared to its predecessors, it did.
|
|
|
21:47:07
|
|
|
Wait, what was Nintendo's third console? The N64? IT DIDN'T DO BADLY.
|
|
|
21:46:29
|
|
|
Fuck! I didn't get to buy Dishonored with discount. I already had it separated for me. LOL
|
|
|
21:44:51
|
|
|
I hear the Brits call them curiously exotic village magicians.
|
|
|
21:43:14
|
|
|
Sega technically had third console and fourth console curse. Neither the Saturn or the Dreamcast did well.
|
|
|
21:43:12
|
|
|
We call them shaman here in Washington, Shannon.
|
|
|
21:42:53
|
|
|
The Wii U is suffering for it. They abandoned their core audience, and then their fickle new friends decided they were bored.
