I turn mine off completely unless I want to charge a controller. I just don't see many benefits to leaving it in standby.
I bought the 3 indie game bundle (flower trine sml) on amazon, and then redeemed my codes on my pc at work...does this mean my currently standing by ps4 will download them and they will be ready when I get home??
I want to dig asap damnit.
I always go standby..hoping for a magical bf4 patch to appear over night
LOL. I have the opposite problem. I can't get my receiver to turn it on when I switch to the correct input. I checked the box on the PS4's "Enable HDMI Device Link", but it hasn't done the trick. I have a Pioneer VSX-1021-K, if anyone has any advice for me.
Your receiver supports HDMI ARC, i've had a quick look at the manual on the Pioneer site but couldn't see where to enable it. You may need to enable it on the TV too. I have it on because my PS4 goes into the TV directly and HDMI ARC returns the audio to the receiver so it comes through the 5.1 speakers not the TV.
It also turns the receiver off when i turn off the TV which is handy.
Good point. But how does the Vita have access to power on PS3 while being "off"? I don't think the PS4 can do the same while in the "off" state.
Something that I dont understand, some of the benefits of having it in stand-by are automatic updates, trophy sync, power on from vita for remote play, but why do I need to have it on "stand-by" to have access to the features that my PS3 does while powered off?
I specifically "turn off" of my PS3 after every session. It does have a solid red light on but I see this as no different from a TV or any electrical appliance indicating it is connected to a power source.
I turn it off. Its just what I have always done.
70 watts thats like $70 a year in electricity. I could buy a nice GPU with $350 bucks in 5 years just by leaving it off. My pc is only 2 watts on hibernate and even then I still turn it off 9 times out of 10. I will remember never to leave that thing on stand by. It must be a typo.
Is the fan suppose to stay in during standby mode? I can hear the fan spinning very quietly overnight when the ps4 is in standby.
Anyone still having issues with downloading updates in standby mode? The 1.52 system update was ready to install I powered on the console, but game updates still begin downloading only after I boot up.
[Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Standby Mode] > [Supply Power from USB Ports] = OFF.Is the fan suppose to stay in during standby mode? I can hear the fan spinning very quietly overnight when the ps4 is in standby.
No need to turn power supply off.[Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Standby Mode] > [Supply Power from USB Ports] = OFF.
You can leave the other two options ON and the fan still shuts off completely.
On a sidenote why are the power and eject buttons so shitty? It's like i never know when I've actually actually pushed the button.

I can never remember which is which. I think they went with form at the expense of function on the buttons.

I can confirm this is true for my PS4.[Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Standby Mode] > [Supply Power from USB Ports] = OFF.

This is how I discovered that turning off USB Power silences the fan. I keep a USB memory stick plugged in for local save backups and the activity light stayed on in standby. I have the DS4 charging dock so don't need USB Power anyway.I'm going to have to do this. I just got my kid Skylanders and the portal that comes with it lights up when plugged in. I don't really wanna have to plug it in every time he wants to play it, which is obviously going to be a lot.
They're not traditional buttons. You don't push them, you touch them. Same thing as the original PS3 eject button, except that I find you only have to graze them in order to activate them. Very functional, IMO.
*Raises Hand*
It's annoying. I have all the correct options selected but still can't download game updates until i turn it on.
I just want to know what's better for the system. Is it like a computer, where going to shutdown causes more wear and tear on it?
1. I know how capacitive buttons work. I just think they suck.
2. I still can't tell which button is which. At least the PS3 had legible labels on the buttons.
