He claims to have taken a unit home and by the way he describes things, I believe him.

Not answering much questions but states that he isn't prompted to update to 1.5 yet. The current firmware is pretty smooth though.

From Kel:

UI is VERY SMOOTH even on FW v1.00
Responsive just like the old XMB but faster.

Game loading is a bit slow the first time you load a new game... After installing data in the background, game loads up much faster initially and between levels... (Killzone SF installs almost all the game data on the PS4 HDD, but it does it in the background while the game is running. The initial background installation while running Killzone does have some slight slowdowns here and there on, but nothing too bothersome.)

*** I am thinking of trying to install a SSD on my PS4 to speed up the loading times even more... I will wait until v1.50 update is installed...

Dualshock 4 charging while the system is off is working on FW v1.00

he PS4 retail box follows the PS Vita box trend of making it much thinner compared to the PS3's retail box lol...
You will see what I mean on November 15th 2013.

Also note on the side of the box, it denotes the color of the console on both left and right side (in this case it is "Jet Black") and all the accessories that comes in the box is denoted on the left side. Underside of the box, it denotes specs of console, legal and copyright information in English/Francais.

Packages VERY similar to the PS Vita with the same circle taped security sealed on the box.



I have a PS4 (retail version) under my TV right now, and as of now, Firmware v1.5 is not yet available to update... Many features lacking at the moment... Local single player campaign of Killzone SF and Knack.. No PSN, no multiplayer as of right now.

IT'S HAPPENING!

The box is quite thin judging by the side of it.

[Rabbit Clock]

I'm more curious about those keyboards behind the ps4s.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Damn, he just took a box home. I'm jealous. Wonder if he was given permission or did he just take it? I find it hard that store would like a item they have limited units of be taken home by an employee, unless he preordered one and just took home and paid off that unit.

 

[Casanova]

My veins are tingling.

Breaking news: Tiniest keyboards in the world shipping the same day as PS4!

 

[Revolutionary]

I'm not usually into theft, but I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to get that PS4 off the shelf without anyone catching me.

Not sure. From the way he describes the loading and install in the background with Killzone and Knack, I believe him. Could be pulling our chains but the pic is definitely legit.

 

[illmatic22]

So damn close.

Maybe he is the owner.

[MilkBeard]

Sounds pretty good about the menus. Good to hear that they are running well, if this person is to be believed.

 

[PAULINK]

I wonder if all stores have exact amounts of how many they're going to get.

 

[MaxSanson]

So much Excite!!!!!

 

[Askherserenity]

Sounds like a shipping warehouse and not a store warehouse.

The one I grabbed was not a preorder as it was destined to be small private store's in store stocks (not FS/BB/EB/WM etc)

sounds like he stole it lol

Good a place as any to ask...do PS4/XB1 come with free trials of PSN/XBL?

 

[Uno Venova]

edit: lol Chamber.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Getting pretty exciting now.

 

[The Elite]

PS4 comes with two weeks of plus. Killzone and COD: Ghosts come with 7 day trials for plus.

Miracle Piano Teaching System confirmed for PS4.

 

[Piggus]

I'm going to be so damn restless on the 15th while waiting for UPS to deliver that sucka. ;_;

Pretty sure PS4 comes with a 2 week trial. Not sure about XB1.

Dunno about X1 but a PS4 purchase gets you 14 days free.

So yeah, with your purchase of the PS4 you automatically get Contrast, Res0gun, Blacklight Retribution, War Thunder, Warframe, DCOU and PlayRoom. Not bad

I'm with ya. I'm gonna take as much time as possible when I go to Target to get my 3 games. lol
