actively backed up your saves to cloud storage -- a service which should probably be automatic and, to judge by comparison to similar storage services like, say, Google Drive, free with purchase of a (or three) $300 video game console

No hard Drive in the game system

Love the larger hard drive capacity.

This Playstation does not come equip with a 500gb hard drive.

As a casual gamer, this game system is satisfactory, such that it's 500 GB hard drive is more than enough to store my game data, videos, and music

Have not downloaded any games as I prefer to use the disc (plus it saves space on the hard drive).

The optical drive was noisy from the start.

my games to the hard drive and started playing games and watching movies immediately, I was able to watch all

And you should at least say ((hard drive not included))

but to Reformat the hard drive and lose most of my game saves

The price of the console when I bought it reflected well for my budget too, as I saw it as less than a dollar for every gigabyte storage in the console's hard drive

Missing pieces that made the hard drive fall out .

It's not a 500 gb system without the hard drive to go with it

It looks like this product has a faulty hard drive

The optical drive seems cheap the way it slides over the top

its great i never run out of space
