PS4 Upgrade: OK, so the first thing you do is...

The first thing you do when you upgrade the hard drive on a PS4 is - you just snap the cover off of the top of the left side of the console. There aren't any screws to take the cover off - it just slides over. Then you take a Philips screwdriver and take the one screw out with the Playstation symbols on it and then slide out the disk caddy. Swap the drive for a larger one - SATA, at least 5400 RPM. If you have the 500G unit now, a 2TB drive will quardruple your available space. (It may be hard to find one larger than 2TB that meets the criteria of being smaller than 9.5mm high.) Then, all you have to do is reload the Operating System back on to the PS4 from a USB stick (It's only around 1G in size), log back into Playstation Network, and then reload all your save files that you either already have on the cloud if you have Playstation Plus, or you needed to have saved them via USB...

OK, wait. The first thing you need to do when you upgrade the hard drive on a PS4 is to back up all of your save games to a USB drive. You need to be logged in as each user before you do that, and all your save games will take under a gig even if you have save files for a dozen games or so. If you have users like your kids that don't have a PSN accounts, then you will have to make them a PSN account...

OK, now really, the first thing you need to do when you upgrade the hard drive on a PS4 is to make sure all your users have their own PSN account. You need a unique email address and a password...

Now what do you mean you have kids in the house that don't have their own email addresses? OK, so then the first thing you need to do is make sure all of your users have email addresses, since after they sign up for PSN they're going to have to verify their accounts.

Also, if they're a minor, it's going to take a while to set up that email account since you have to verify them and give permission for them to use certain services.

It's OK. I can wait.

The future of Street Fighter is here, and it is noodly.

Fans everywhere of Capcom's "Street Fighter" fighting game series rejoiced this week. Not only did a new patch for Ultra Street Fighter IV get released which included character re-balancing and the debut of the supremely wacky Omega Mode, but we also got our first glimpse at a live match of Street Fighter V which was announced for PC and Playstation 4.



While the Nerdist runs the headline as "Destructible Stages Revealed in First Ever Live Street Fighter V Match", I think they buried the lead here. The real headline should be "Chun-Li Kicks Butt, Even With A Bowl Of Noodles On Her Head."

If you fast forward to around 6:54, you will see series mainstay Ryu finish a round against Chun-Li with a devastating Denjin Hadoken, pushing her through the stage wall and into the kitchen where a bowl of noodles lands on her head. It's not just a cutscene tagged onto the end of the round - the noodles stay on her head for all of her victorious last round and the closing tag, despite her rather acrobatic Spinning Bird Kicks.

Certainly, there are more implications to be discussed, like why Street Fighter V isn't going to make it to XBox One or WiiU, or how on earth Charlie has made it back into the series despite being MIA since the Alpha series games, but those will have to wait for another time.
