What customers say about "Storage"

Sony PlayStation 4 500GB Console

Great console fast and powerful.
The GDDR5 memory of the ps4 is also far superior to the one's GDDR3 memory.
Excellent memory capacity, works fast enough.
Stock 500GB is not enough.
500GB hard disk is stingy.

Microsoft Xbox One 500GB Console

Easy to expand the memory initially given.
Enough memory for me.
Works fast thanks to memory.
The memory is enough for a fairly large number of games.
One downside I must say, is the memory capacity.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Sony PlayStation 4 500GB Console

Set up was easy and network connection was fast and strong.
It starts up very quickly and very easily set up including the internet connection.
The USB cable connection are smack in the middle which is okay unless your USB cable happens to twist to the left and get in the way of disc slot.
You can connect a bluetooth keyboard.
USB connection port feels very flimsy.
