Controller is a beaut

Just downloaded the file following this:

It has taken less than 3 minutes with 120mbps with UPC @ around 8-9 MB/s

Don't know how this would be tomorrow when everybody starts the firmware bashing...

that's for when changing the hard drive

Perform a new installation of the system software.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This procedure is for initialising your PS4 system and performing a new installation of the system software, such as for when you replace the hard disk drive. Be careful when using an update file for reinstallation. All users and all data will be deleted.

the update is here http://ie.playstation.com/systemsoftwareversion/

so cany anyone with the PS4 answer this question?

on ps3, you can go to network settings and check what download/upload your ps3 is getting. can it be done on ps4? if so, how better speeds are you getting?

3 people lined up at Wilton tesco kiosk I'm guessing for ps4s. Not as many as I expected so might be worth ringing them about availability

First one is if you replace the stock hard drive, so, better use the 300mb on the other link
