The OS probably does this because some games use a page file to unpack poo poo when you launch them, then pack it back up. They did this last generation, too.

I think it's a recent thing, actually, I was definitely able to fill my PS4's hard drive to max capacity in the past, but since upgrading the drive to a 2tb (from a 1.5tb) it seems a bit less cooperative if I'm below about 40 gigs free.

Did you get any new games? It may be game specific, wouldn't surprise me with MGS V.

PS TV is pretty great for playing old PS1 games on your big screen (there are some compatibility issues) and PSP games. I think 20 bucks is a good price for one. I paid 30 for mine a few months back. With all the free Vita crap you get from PS+ I think it's worth it.

Just don't pay more than $30

It happens to me with alarming frequency and several games because I'm terrible at culling data. It's definitely not really game-specific beyond the fact that it's more likely to happen with specific games due to them being absolute beasts (e.g. most shooters with all the DLC are in the 65 gig range).

We never figured out what good HDMI switchers there are to buy I even went back and checked

The only problem with this is that the memory cards are ridiculously expensive and mostly kill the deal. I have one from my regular vita and swap it back and forth because I'm too cheap to buy a second.

Also I have an HDMI switcher from monoprice that is pretty good. It is very bare bones and therefore has nothing to screw up. It's literally analog push switches and it seemingly works fine with PSTV / PS4 / Xbox One (it's only a 2 device switch though I moved from using it for PS4/PSTV to PS4/Xbox One when I got my Xbone). It's here: http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=2786

I'm snagging an 8GB one and MGS HD for $30 from a goon, so I might be okay for now.

And someone mentioned HDMI switchers not working well with some four letter acronym and didn't leave any suggestions.

Ya'll can say whatever about that game I gave it an honest go it loving sucks and I hope I spare others the pain

I made the mistake of buying Persona 4 too out of desperation for a good Vita game and goon recommendations. I wish I could erase it from my games played list. That thing is an embarrassment for anyone over 12 years old.

If it's like 2, the story missions are literally gated by how much poo poo you have destroyed (as measured in chaos points). Destruction is the literal point of the game.

I loved 2.
