|  PS4 mandatory 1.5 update
You will want to DL this now rather than while every single other owner is downloading it. At 300MB their servers may have trouble handling the load.
To install it you will need to go into safe mode (hold power button 7 seconds when turning on) and install from a USB

I was thinking I should dl the update for exactly that reason but forgot where to even look
thanks!
also skinny anyway to fix that change with the site reloading the website whenever the "thanks" button is clicked is annoying

^ If you ordered from bestbuy or futureshop, it's probably going to ship tomorrow. Their warehouses are in Richmond.

Does anyone know how developer friendly ps4 is?
I'm looking for a console that I tinker around and develop for, and so far Microsoft XNA has done an incredible job with indie dev for the 360.
Does the PS4 have anything comparable?

Does the PS4 have anything comparable? | Going by the fact that the two machines now share the same x86 architecture, it should be pretty similar now. It seems as though Sony is really pushing their "we're going to be very indie-developer friendly" ideas in all of their major speeches/events. They say that it's a console that facilitates easy development, which wasn't the case with the outgoing CELL technology.
As for APIs and the like for Sony- I can't comment on that as I've never developed for either console.

So I really have no idea | i'm in the same boat. status says in progress and the payment part says charged.
the weird thing is that they sent me an email stating they had issues charging my CC on Monday. i called my bank since then and they said no issues at all. i called futureshop yesterday and today, both times they said they will try to charge my CC but nothing has happened so far.

I wouldn't be too worried yet. I preorder games from BB and FS all the time and I never get shipping notifications until the morning of a release. Their wherehouse is in Richmond and I have always received my order the same day typically within 5 hours. If you get no shipping info on Friday then I would be worried.

Do you need a game receipt to upgrade from a ps3 version to the ps4?
I hear some stores do it free and others for $10. Anyone know for sure?

Reviews are coming in PlayStation 4, connected: first impressions out of the box | The Verge Quote: |
At first glance, it feels like Sony's gone a long way toward fixing what ailed the PS3, and toward enabling a much better and more impressive gaming experience going forward. It doesn't feel ambitious like the Xbox One, but it feels like a really solid gaming console. Of course, we're just getting started.
| PlayStation 4 Review | Polygon Quote: |
the PlayStation 4's focus on gaming — and only gaming — is undermined by a distinct lack of compelling software. That failing is sure to improve — better games and more of them will appear on the PlayStation 4 — but right now, this is a game console without a game to recommend it. Early adopters of the PS4 this fall are buying potential energy. We're just waiting for a place to spend it.
| The PlayStation 4: The Kotaku Review (In Progress) | Kotaku Australia Quote: |
I think you’ll want one eventually. But, cool as the PS4 is, a lack of a must-play game means you can afford to wait.

If anything just get a 1TB 7200RPM...that'll be a good step up than the stock ones no?
Is there confirmation that the PS4 will be SATA3 at the very least?

Maybe I didn't explain in great detail, but I am very clear on the topic. Based on my experience, my PS3 running an SSD didn't make a significant gain compared to traditional hard drives. Just chiming in on people who are going to invest $200+ on 160GB+ SSDs
In the end, it's your money, so go ahead and spend it
