Well yeah I plan on having two hdd's down the road but I'd rather for the freebies and obviously digital only games to have a decent hdd. Actually what I plan to do if possible is have a decently large hdd for backing up both ps4 and ps3. (as well as a additional one for wii u when I get it >_>)

If you're transferring data between HDDs, then yeah, you need a backup drive and the new drive. If you don't need to transfer anything, then no.

Actually backing up the system from time to time wouldn't be a terrible idea, but PS+ cloud saves should be able to keep any unique data safe anyway.

This.

Also, I don't know why Sony changed it for the PS4. Even with my PS3 filled up, I feel like I can navigate much more quickly than I can with my PS4. I'm very surprised that Sony didn't keep the traditional XMB.

I think if you highlight the game in the XMB and hit Triangle for Information, an expiration date is shown.

So for less than $70 I picked up all 7 Shin Megami Tensei games that was released for the PS2 in the US all digitally through the PSN store on the PS3.

RPG galore!
