Not blaming you, sorry, obviously it's out of your hands.
PlayStation4 FW 1.5 details

- Start date

So not 15 minutes at all to most people in the world.

Look forward to drinking a few while my patch installs on launch morning.
You have to admit, this past gen Sony has conditioned many of us to fear their downloads. PSN has been absolutely dreadful for me all generation.
Im hoping for a patch that can be downloaded and loaded by USB... This rules out any unlikely event that the servers are flooded, not to mention some people will be instantly pulling out the harddrive for replacement.
Hopefully a few of you American dudes can dummy run an SSD drive for me, the least you guys can do while you gloat for 2 weeks prior to our EU launch.,

Well, aside from the music, is there anything else to clarify? It all seems pretty explained to me.

Xbone will also require a day one patch. They all do so just stop.
One thing I'm bummed out about is the suspend mode. That was what I was really looking forward to. Next gen canceled.

As we're constantly reminded in Kinect threads no one gives a shit about that stuff.

We might be getting ahead of ourselves here. For all we know custom soundtracks from you HDD are already available in 1.0 and this just lets you use Music Unlimited as well.
It's nice to have confirmation on this, though they might need plus as well so they can use their own save data.
Very disappointed in the missing suspend feature. It's one of the best things about Vita and one of the reasons I play it so much more than my PS3. If I have a quick 10 minutes to play in the house, turning the PS3 on and getting into a game takes a huge chunk out of that, on Vita I'm playing where I left off in 1 second.
Both consoles require a day-one update. You can't do anything on Xbox One without an internet connection to patch it.

But you can on ps3 with some games. Im seriously about to cancel this pre-order. Fuck ps4 if you cannot play with your own music in the BG.
I'm just surprised how some people are surprised at day one patches.
(...and are worried about 300mb to download)
Also, at this point, cancelling pre-orders is silly. Speaking honestly, your cancelled pre-order at this point isn't a loss to Sony at all. Both consoles are going to sell out this year.

That would be smart just release it a couple of days before launch. They still release downloads for PS3 Firmwares don't they?

I wouldn't be surprised if Music Unlimited is the only way to listen to custom soundtracks, at least initially. That's synergy! The "One Sony" strategy in action!

I feel your frustration dude! I'm hyped as hell for PS4 release on 29 November but stuff like background music while playing games should be there from the start.
I don't want to pay for that shitty Music Unlimited. I have my own HQ music collection, damn you Sony!
I can play my own music in the background on the original Xbox... yeah, the 1, not just the 360. Fix this shit ASAP Sony.
Vita also has suspend mode. Assume nothing.
biggest problem for me is I am so engrained into the apple ecosystem..
hey Sony!!! Release a PS4 app that enables AirPlay and charge $1000 for it!!! (no, like $5-10). I would buy that in a second and just stream from my iPad or iPhone.
Strangely enough, I don't remember this being a big issue last gen with MS. Their featureset was basically done right at the start. They are truly having a clusterfuck of a launch.

I don't understand how this surprises anyone. At least the update is small.
Suspend not being there is definitely a bummer though since that was touted from the beginning.

Wait for confirmation, just because they mentioned music unlimited doesn't mean you can't.
I'd be surprised, since it'be been on Vita since the start.

Joke Post? MS require a day one update to play games offline don't they?

For people complaining that this should have been on the OS from the start, if Sony decided to launch in December, or even January, would have been better?
Not defending or anything. Just curious.
I just want clarification on the music stuff. The rest is okay by me.

Presumably everyone crying about a 300mb day 1 patch have never built a PC and installed Windows and Office from scratch...I migrated a PC from XP to W7/Office2013 yesterday and until I'd downloaded 31 W7 updates and 2 machine restarts I couldn't get Worde to open a Word file.
Or - less drastically - bought an iPhone.
Seriously, get over yourselves. The FW flashed into the consoles will have been finished month ago and will be enough to get them running; all the bells & whistles take time, especially for testing, and as with most new digital things when you get them boxfresh (instead of having a shop or someone else do the install work) you're looking at at least an hour of faff to get up and running.

Amen!
I think it's just saying that the update enables background music playing through the service. I imagine background music was ready built in and doesn't need an update.

Lots of "outrage" here guys.
When you're manufacturing product months in advance you can't always get all the features of a firmware into the systems due to things still being in development to the last minute. They're shipped with a basic firmware. It's the way things work.
I think the only valid thing to be upset about is the suspend/resume thing.
Also, maybe the Music Unlimited thing they mention is just the app that is needed to play background music. Maybe it gives you the option to play Music Unlimited music as well as your own, personal local music.

They may have done this on purpose, if 1.0 was found with serious security flaws/easy way to jailbreak then they will want as many people to update straight away as possible to close these holes up

That's not a bad idea. 3rd party apps have been made to support AirPlay. Double Twist for android is a 3rd party itunes (since there is no itunes for android) and AirPlay works on that. Hopefully they do that.

I can't imagine they'll make the same mistake they did with the PSP

exactly xbox 1 can even do it lololol.

Ugh, that's basically 90% of the system's networking features. I thought they were more committed to avoiding these situations... This being a day 1 updates is not only a bad first impression, but it's strongly reminds me of how terribly updates and installs were on the PS3. I'll give them this one as free pass though...
Hrmmm, serious bummer.

Ah the first of many OS patches...You do realise this is the price we pay for Bleeding Edge Launch adopters!!
Nothing new here, the Basic OS shipped with the console would have been done and stable about 6 months ago, this way the team can be even finishing this off now in Testing (although highly likely 1.50 is locked and loaded) and still get it ready for launch day... X1 will be exactly the same people!!
Move along, move along!!

That's assuming this day 1 patch has all their necessary security fixes when the reality is someone discovers this shit outside of Sony after day 1.
I find it hilarious that such a minimal optional update is the only negative about PS4
Slay a bit Sony
Well to be fair it's not really minimal, and I also wouldn't describe it as optional. If you just want to play games then fine. If you want to do pretty much anything else, you need this update.
