The suffering of PAL territories shall not go unpunished! We shall be justly rewarded with a much better selection of ps+ wares, hopefully.

Any network issues will also be ironed out. The US is merely the beta territory.

PS4: Beta Tested in America
I don't think Japanese fanboys are going to take that excuse!
I wouldn't touch the thing until the 13th, at the earliest. It's probably there to test the update systems and make sure things will go fine for launch. Until Sony has had their way with the thing, I'd stay away. I can't see why anyoe would want it before the 13th anyway.
I'm just going to do the normal update over the internet on the 15th. I figure the worst case is that the download takes 10-15 minutes.

This is my only concern at this point.

Doesn't work like I thought it would. Saturn games work great on it though.

just imagine if hackers managed to hack the update file before the release of the consoles, it would a disaster for sony. i hope that the security of the console is much better than the PS3.
I would imagine new encryption keys are in place and without that not much you can do. Just in this thread it was reported that it's not encoded the same way as PS3 .PUP files.
Oddly enough the PS3 is the most secure console of the generation, it just so happens when the keys were released a bigger fuss was made than other consoles.

PS4 with backwards compatibility confirmed
I started making room for it in my media cabinet on the weekend.
Yup. I have the HDMI hooked up, input labeled and space cleared out. I'll download this when I get home from work so that when I leave work early on the 15th for my birthday it will be a PS4 party ASAP.

If it's done this early, I hope they are working on BT/Wireless headsets next.

So what do the OS team do now then? I thought it was all last minute panicking?
Patch 1.51, 1.52, 1.53...
To fix all the bugs that people find on launch day
Wouldn't surprise me if the firmware people download on the 15th is higher than 1.50

Bugs.
Suspend-to-Resume.
Wallpaper.
Gaikai.
PSN.
Further integration with external services.
Misc. stuff.
The job's not done.
1-I REALLLLY doubt the firmware up right now is the final version that will be downloaded on launch day
2-Even if it was, 3 week prior is still much more last minute that 3 months prior (what's on the deck when you get it out of the box).

America = the future?
This, the Jobs never done for the OS.
Even when all planned features are implemented then they're going to be trying to bring down the resources the OS is using(Ram+CPU) so that in the future they can either make more available to games or have more to budget for other OS tasks.
Ooh forgot about that, thanks... Custom name for the HDMI input on my audio receiver + pick an HDMI port on the receiver, of course.
Because every version before that have been used already? It's not like the firmware on release day is the first one on any consoles... Devs have been using the console with different versions of the firmware for over a year now.
Surprised they're putting this out so soon, honestly. I wonder if they'll have another patch in a couple weeks. I'm sure they're not just going to stop working on new things. The good thing is that since the PS4 can install updates in the background, it really shouldn't matter when new firmware goes live.
But what would the console ship with 0.8? doesn't seem right, 1.0 should be the shipping OS for me.

I wonder what would happen if you tried to update the Xbox One with this.
