I predict a long and illustrious posting career at GAF for you. Nice passive aggressive attitude though.

So secondary low powered CPU is just for automatic downloads? Thought it would run while the console was powered on as well, to handle OS and background processing.
On behalf of all junior members, I apologize for this.
But back onto topic, I'm actually quite excited about this news. It seems they've made some great progress in the fan department.

I don't know how it is now but I remember a lot of people complained they couldn't see ads on the first dashboard because many people were under 18. That one dashboard actually looked better with the one ad on each page.
I take it as a personal attack against my intelligence for anyone to imply that the two situations are even remotely the same. Your false equivalence has been called out.

Nobody complained about having to connect the One to the internet to enjoy all of its features after the 180. You are making shit up. People hated the online policies when it debuted, nobody said anything after they changed their mind. You're being ridiculous.
You can set it to download remotely through the app either way. You don't have to depend on auto update anymore.
Did I miss something or are you missing the difference between "must be online" and "nice to be online"?
I'm not so sure, it also says something about telling another processor (probably fixed function) to do compression/decompression...It's interesting...need more info
No it's used for uploads and downloads, both when using the system and when powered off.
What a terrible strawman. Noone complained about this.
System updates will probably be pushed BT stint at those times to take loads off peek periods.
It makes me chuckle when some posters try to use this defense. You're the one that felt the urge to call GAF out with a sweeping generalization.
Sorry, but your backtracking makes no sense.

Exactly where did i call out anyone? did i mention your or any ones name. last i checked: i stated "everyone" . i made a generalization, not a generalization of gaf. also when i said:fanboyism at its finest" i was saying " hey look gaf, more fanboyism" people shouldn't react they way they did and say someone attacked them when that's not the case.
In closing, my apologies if anyone took offense to my statement of thought.
No one has complained about needing to be online to use online features. That is how it is and should be. People were complaining about things that don't need an internet connection requiring one for the sake of DRM. It's not hard to understand.
It cracks me up that people have already declared XO will be silent and PS4 will be loud as a 747 for no other reason than the XO being an unusually large box.

I dont need to backtrack on anything, it is what it is.
Byeeeeeeeee
The only "outrage" I can think of (which was much milder than the one concerning the pre-180 era) was that you'd still have to connect your console online once for "set up", otherwise it wouldn't work. I don't see how this compares.
edit: welp that was quick.

I was about to post the same thing.
I read this in Matt Lees' voice.
He also says this about the secondary processor
Itou: No, that's not true. It's a processor that will determine the required resources, and accordingly, control the system. It's because even on the smart phone and tablet side, there's various capabilities (I'm assuming he's referring to the thought that it can do everything?). If we were to rely on the secondary processor for everything, depending on the secondary processor, the gaming experience is going to change a lot.
There are some that think that the secondary processor is a "magic processor that can do anything", but that's not true, is it?

You can disable this, yes?
I don't like what I'm reading here... "generally".

exactly
All of it sounds great, but I'd feel better if "generally" wasn't a part of the sentence. Not worried about the sound of the drive since it appears that all games will be installed to the drive anyway (unless I'm remembering that incorrectly). For anyone currently without PS+, the nightly updates are very cool.
A day one update will be required for both consoles. If I have to explain this one, none of you have been paying attention.

I thought I set the time for my PS+ to do its bit at night.
I posted it in Queenie from Blackadder Season 2 finale voice from when she dictates the latter to the German Prince Ludwig. Or you could read it in the voice of the German Prince Ludwig.
I hope that doesn't inconweeeiiinience you.

Really didn't know that?
Also when did noise become such a huge problem. I can hear all my consoles but I wouldn't consider that loud. I can hear my PC and laptop too. Disk drives spin this isn't new. I think the Ps4/One/WiiU all run at 6x. And it wouldn't run at that speed all the time. Someone help me understand how being quieter than a Ps3 isn't a plus or is this a console war thing?

THANK YOU.
Guys, it's obvious that the quotes are roughly translated, hence the 'smaller' noise level etc. Wait until a western rep comments in these things before taking it as concrete strange-facts.

allot of vague answers there
Xbox One would have needed a day one update even if there was no 180. The system is already in production but the OS team is still putting the finishing touches on the OS.
The same is true with Sony, I believe.
Japanese translation side effect ?
No a day one update is recommended for PS4. It will play games without it, key distinction.

Sounds about right
Seems like you haven't been paying attention my man!
Do tell. Apparently I haven't been paying attention.
There is no distinction, Microsoft never said (in my recollection) that the day one update was needed to "turn off DRM". That was just people jumping to conclusions. They just said that once you update the console's OS there will be no need to ever connect to the Internet after that.
Whether the OS that's ships with PS4 is in a state to just play games has to be clarified. But it's not shipping with the OS. Both companies realize that you can't have your software schedule impact your hardware schedule because the former is more time sensitive.

I think your recollection in incorrect.
There was a thread about this Xb1 needing this about a week ago. It seemed that the consensus was that the DRM update was needed on the Xb1 to even play games.
I am sure there is someone here who has the correct information, but I am do believe that you do not need the internet ever to play games on the ps4.
