PS4 XMB @ EuroGamer Expo (Off screen footage)

is that 3mbit/s connection or downloading at 3MB/s? either way, it won't take that long thanks to the play as you download, granted if you mean 3mbit You'll be downloading at around 300kb/s that would be 1 gigabyte in an hour, so you could likely begin playing after somewhere between 2-5 hours, which wouldn't be too bad I suppose?not great but day one I suppose.
Yeah it'd be max 300KB per second. I'd assume driveclub will be in excess of 10GB so it'll take a while. I also assume there'll be day one patches for Killzone and probably for the console itself.

I feel sorry for my European brethren who have to wait until the 25th while those of us in the US get it on the 15th. I'll make sure to shed a few tears and pour out a beer while pulling the PS4 out of the box.

It's the 29th :( don't spill beer all over your PS4 now, that would be just awful :p

No really, be careful though :)

Edit: beaten
like a hooker in GTA

The game will be more than 10GB yea, but you don't need it all to download to start playing.

You should be able to background download whilst playing KZ:SF though.
 
XMB survives! I'm glad. I prefer that over what initially looked like Window's tiles.

Funny how some guys are correcting everyone who keeps saying XMB survives and again and again someone post "xmb survives" lol

If only there were a place I could pre order a PS4. I don't want to get fat off of taco bell, and my hand writing is an insult to chicken scratch, so i can't send post cards for codes...

*sigh* Maybe i should concentrate on beginning my life after college.

But trophies, friends list and most of the PS4 UI "XMB" is what you find in the XMB for the PS3...
I think the icons are just for aesthetic and familiarity purposes; the PS4 UI isn't the XMB as we know it, at least not function-wise. Mind you, what I'm saying is going by what ckohler has posted, as he's the one who's had hands-on time with it.

The XMB refers to the icon layout, one row of categories and one column of entries in the selected category. From what I can tell, the PS4 UI is one row of... well, commonly used functions at the top, and another row of games and apps and stuff.

Thanks, but to clarify, I've not actually had hands-on time.

Non the less, it's pretty evident that the row of icons along the top don't work like the Cross Media Bar. What's happening is that people are seeing those icons, which look similar to the XMB icons, and then just jumping to conclusions without taking into account the actual underlying functionality or the way you navigate them.

I explained it in more detail a few pages back.
 
Tidux has an interesting pic on his twitter. Not sure if real or shopped....or what the text under it says.

Fake. It's a mockup someone did of the menu a little while after the PS4 reveal.

Picture is obviously only of the lower half of the screen to hide the placeholder information (username, time, etc.) on top.

EDIT: My bad, looked over a post already stating this.
 
I have no reason not to believe it but I hope you realize you'll have to verify your identity with mods if they ask you to. Good luck.

PS. I also found your home address. It's unbelievable how powerful Google is nowadays ;).

Send him a postcard: "NeoGAF doesn't take too kindly to shills ;)"
