Pretty much. I would use standby if it wasn't for the orange. It is distracting next to the TV. I hope in the future we can customize that.
how so? if i'm not focusing direclty on the ps4 i never notice it.

Even though it is almost the year 2014, the power goes out unexpectedly where I live at least once a week. In fact, it went out at 2:30pm today for no reason at all.
Knowing that, what do you recommend for me, GAF? Standby or power down?
They corrected it to 10WWTFF? That can't be right.
WTFF? That can't be right.
Power down until I get a UPS for the PS4 and perhaps my modem (any recommendations?). Since they built all of these new houses in my area I get a brown out about once a day during the summer(not sure if it is because of that or just coincidence).
LOL no, if the red light is on, it's on standby, how else do you think you can turn it on using the controller? It's always polling connected bluetooth controllers for a power signal. If you wanna shut your PS3 off, you have to flip the switch on the back.
Selecting off on the PS4 menu is like flipping the switch on the back of my PS3 fat?
Selecting Standby on the PS4 is like shutting my PS3 off via XMB?
Why the fuck is this so confusing?
Also how do you get that orange light off in Standby?
Also, the PS3 could turn itself on, but the PS4 can't?
Selecting off on the PS4 is like powering down the PS3 from the XMB. Traditionally, this has always been called "standby" because the device is still consuming a minute amount of power so it can be powered on from a remote. Just like a TV, DVD player, etc.
The "standby" on the PS4 is a state between off (traditionally standby) and on.
It seems the PS4 doesn't power itself on at night like the PS3 because it's presumed that "standby" will be the standard "off" state this gen.

Guys. You've been putting your PS3's in stand-by since 2006. Unless you were still rocking a phat and flipping the switch on the back of the console every time you stopped playing, the PS3 was always in stand-by when you turned it "off."
The only reason this is even a discussion is because Sony strangely brought back the option to fully power down with the PS4, which is an absolutely silly thing for you to do. Unless you don't want automatic patch updates, save files backups, actual "remote" remote play functionality or the ability to purchase content from the web/app and have it begin downloading immediately. You lose all that if you fully power off.
Stand-by is what you've always done with your PS3, and what you should continue to do with your PS4.
It downloaded it for me, but I assumed it would take care of the installation for me too. I had to go through the whole process when I got out of standby, which nearly defeats the purpose of standby for me.Had mine in standby all night. Didn't download the update until I turned it on. Yes I have standby enabled, yes I have automatic downloads enabled. Standby dropped the ball.

pretty much this, I had to confirm the download of the latest firmware update... so what's the point of stand by? LOLHad mine in standby all night. Didn't download the update until I turned it on. Yes I have standby enabled, yes I have automatic downloads enabled. Standby dropped the ball.
Power down. Always. Does anyone put their desktop in Standby mode? I certainly don't. When I'm not using it, I may as well use as little power as possible.
My desktop is always on >_>
Have those 70W figures been backed by multiple sources? If so, looks like I'll be dropping standby mode.
Okay, that's a whole lot more reasonable.It uses 8w in standby.
70w is only if its doing a download or install in standby. So most of the time is only 8w-10w
-You can also purchase digital games through the Sony Entertainment Network online store via PC and compatible mobile devices through PlayStation App if your PS4 is in standby mode, the game will automatically download.

Standby is the correct answer. If you're shutting it down you might as well just run electric shocks through it. The 60 cents a month you save on your energy bill isn't worth it.
Would anything bad happen of the electricity goes out while the system is on standby?

I would for sure keep it on a surge protector of some sort regardless if you keep it in stand by or not.
I don't think I like leaving my PS4 on standby. It still makes a slight noise and gives off heat.

Ok, im concerned about letting my PS4 in standby.
It seems really warm in standby, almost like if my PS3 was turned on. Is that normal?
Would the right thing be:
-Turn it off at night, or when not using it soon or not downloading anything.
-Let it in standby when youre planning to play later or via remote play, and when youre downloading something.
I let my PS4 in vertical, and I think my PS4 is really warm even in stanby. Im not used to let other devices at this same state, so Im not sure (and the PS3 standy mode, is more like PS4 turned off).
So, what you peope recommend?

I'm scared to use standby. I would have it standby after 2 hours and when I turned the controller back on it shut off. Rebooted into safe mode and told me I didn't turn it off correctly when I didn't touch the console itself or hold down the PS button. Never again, unless it's a small bug that gets patched eventually.
Mine actually cools down quicker in standby as long as it's not downloading. Fans keep going for a bit compared to shutting it down outright.
If it's not downloading or charging while in stand-by and it's still very warm, I'd worry a little.
I have been leaving mine in Standby since getting it last week. Mine whirs down to a low fan speed for about 20s then the fan shuts of entirely. It's not warm at all when in this mode. Are you sure it's not downloading a game?
