So, what file do I download onto USB to do the update when I get it on Thursday?
Does anyone have the link?

Can anyone confirm for me whether or not it's possible to reverse X and O when it comes to confirm/back functions?
What if you gentley press down on it, it may not be making full contact with the pins (because of the metal)
Lockon there's an extra strip of metal on your picture the one shown by the red arrow below should not be there. It's said to be destroying teeth in your HDMI cable check if any are missing. Kotaku said sony used a pin to push it back into the console try that.
Edit: Looks like it may be down to the angle of the image but if it does stick out on your console doesn't hurt to trying pushing it in.

I really do not agree, it is a mixture of issues. Hardware issues, Firmware issues, Shipping damage, etc.

Aw man :-(
This post should be quoted on every page from now on. Assuming it's accurate.Lockon the metal on your picture the one shown by the red arrow below should not be there. It's destroying teeth in your HDMI cable. Kotaku said sony used a pin to push it back into the console try that.

I feel kinda dumb for having so much fun playing DCUniverisve online right now. All that money spent on retail games and yet...I'm having more fun with a F2P game. Who knew.

Wait, why do we have to update via USB? Is it just a time thing, or is the update actually not working?

Phew, that was scary for a while there!
I input the included code for the 30-day PSPlus trial, but when I go the PS Plus section of the store it's still asking me to sign up. Does the free trial not include free games (Resogun etc) and offers?) I have a 1-year code that came with my Amazon bundlefuck but I was going to use up the 30-day trial first.

I don't think this is correct, it's supposed to be there. You can clearly see the cutout in the plastic for it. You can't see it in the other picture because of the camera angle. My brother's unit that works fine has it as well.

I knew I bookmarked that image from professor_t last night for a reason. I really would like to see the HDMI ports of everyone complaining about no video.

For me, it took about 5 minutes for it to put the plus sign next to my name after I put in the code. Don't know how long you have been waiting though.

Holy shit at the upgrade to COD's graphics. Its so damn crisp and clear.
Its like night and day, the slight haze and blur/glare is gone.

I have never seen a HDMI port with that little metal nub in it. Not on a single one my electronics.

Just got home after picking up my preorder. I don't have time to play it yet as I've got to leave here in a bit and I want to experience everything without being interrupted. I was so mad when leaving the mall because some little kid walked right into my bag with some force after getting away from his mom.
Anyway, got the two year warranty from GameStop just in case, as well as an extra controller and Killzone.
It's wild to think the last time I opened a new PlayStation box, I wasn't even of legal age to drink!

Quick question!
Are the servers for the update pretty solid and reliable right now? Just got my ps4 in the mail and Im thinking about running home and hooking it up on my lunch.

I can't help but notice how fast I can move around in the PS4 UI. Makes last gen and Wii U feel VERY sluggish by comparison. It's soooooo nice.

Thanks! There it is! And it's FREEEEEEE!
So good to hear.
It took me less than 10 minutes.

I just checked my console (at work so I can't actually turn it on) but that little metal piece is all the way in the back of the port. I don't even think it would hit the cable. The picture makes it look like it's up front.

Playstation forums have lots of reports of faulty consoles. Looking at that first page though you can see many of these people registered for the forum today or yesterday...so who knows how credible those reports are.

I can't push it back because it's to far in. IDK how the hell they pushed it back with a pin and even if I could it would probably bend the HDMI middle slot thingy.

The thing that definitely needs most next-gen about PS4 is having all the retail launch titles available to download. Fantastic.

My port looks just like the one on the bottom. That piece of metal is actually flush with the plastic at the back of the port, so it is not sticking up and preventing the plug from going all the way in. The port just seems too small.
I am using a pin to try and push it anyways, will not budge. When I turn on the PS4, I get static flickers just like in the Kotaku video. Fuck me.

Yo Guys, a little question for those, who already have a ps4: how long does it take to install a game in the background?

That "nub" does look strange but I dont think this is Kotakus issue. All this metal nub would do is touch the ground shielding and shouldn't effect the center pins at all like the problem Kotaku had. If anything it would just straight up block the connector at worst, but shouldn't damage it.

I was actually thinking the exact opposite. There seem to be very little hardware issues.
There are some software issues with the firmware updates, but it seems like most of these have easy fixes.

I've been a PS+ member for years and it still asks me if I want to sign up on the PS+ section of the store
also you should be able to stack the 1 year on top of the 30 day
Ok it's hard to tell from the picture for sure, I checked every HDMI port in my house and none of them have anything like that. Only lockon can know for sure if thats sticking out at all, if it is thats the problem.

Correct. It's flush against the back.
It's in the back. Again, you can actually see the plastic cutout for it. The HDMI cable is not even touching it.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
guys we are comparing multiple ps4s and that little metal piece is in all of them. the camera angle makes it so you cant see the one on top.
these things not working is pretty wide spread - hell, MINE isn't working.
what the eff. anyone find any good fixes? im just getting blinking blue lights and it wont initialize/show up on my tv
edit: that .4% comment was before it was widely available to consumers...
that's why the number so low. i wonder what it is today, sony.

Seriously. Any is fine.
Just wanted to pop in while 1.50 is (slowly) downloading and say that my PS4 seems to be working flawlessly...
For the record this is not a post meant to brag or rub it in the face of those with issues...but too often the negatives are reported and the positives are not (human nature)...and it makes things seem worse than they are...

Does anyone know if I put my 1-year PS Plus code in right after the 30-day trial if it will add onto the end of the 30 days or overwrite it?
