    COD is the 9th best selling franchise. Surprisingly, Pokemon is the 2nd best behind Mario.

    So can you use any hd? Or is it going to be future hardware released by sony

    I'm guessing Sony added the ability to connect an external HD for media playback first and foremost. Keep in mind, like the PS3, you can swap out the stock HDD for another. It just has to be the "laptop" size HDD. I did that with my PS3 and will probably have to do it with my PS4. 500GB is a joke anymore.
    Im not sure how I feel about upgrading the innards of my PS4. Im not good with that shit. I hope at some point they come out with some sort of 2TB HD that you just plug in that you can play games off of.

    500GB is a joke. 100gb out of the box. I have a fairly minimal amount of games. Mostly Discs and I am going to run into 500GB soon. Updates are 1-2GB for fucks sake. I am kind of a pack rat when it comes to game data too. I still have my saves cartridges from PS1 and 2. This GTA V takes up 1/8 of my memory.

    GTA V finally finished though!

    As far as franchises... CoD is overrated IMO. I liked the WWII one, but overall, the single player modes on those games leave a ton to be desired. Multiplayer to me is boring. Fixed maps, players who have much more time than me leveraging level-up advantages and map experience make it stupid.

    Civilization is the top.
    Elder Scrolls maybe next
    Fallout
    GTA
    NCAA Football
    The Show
    Madden
    NHL
    FIFA
    Metal Gear

    It's really easy to swap HDDs. Just one screw.
    But like others have said, the COD franchise is such a joke. I think I got everyone up to Black Ops then I was done. Same fn game every year. Singleplayer is short and unremarkable, and online is just the same crap. It's like a $65 map upgrade every year....before they release the actually map packs...x3....

    GTA V is great for PS4. I like the 1st person driving a lot. In a hectic chase its a bit tough, but if you have Franklin's ability to slow time and control it works well. 1st person battle was cool too. Also the control flashes cop lights when you are being chased by the cops which is cool.

    Is it easy to switch between first and third person view? Is there a button you can hit to do it fast or do you have to go to the menu?

    I know GTA offers extras for people that carry their account from last gen ... but I had an xbox and now have a ps4 so I don't know if it is possible.

    It is possible. Just make sure you have registered your account with rockstars website. You have to link both your 360 account and psn account to your rockstar account. Also, if you have not gone online for awhile on gta for 360 make sure you do that. I guess they had issues with people who hadn't been online in awhile transferring over.

    The 1st person driving really makes you feel more like part of the city, and you notice the surroundings better. The sound and feel of the car also is better.

    Only played a few hours of GTA ... FPS in cars sucks but FPS in a motorcycle kicks major ass.

    I like it when you are taking your time and driving relatively conservatively. IMO it really gets you to look at the surroundings more, notice pedestrians, etc.
    However, it is tough/impossible when involved in some sort of chase
