PlayStation 4 is now only two days away from what seems to be the biggest launch in the history of PlayStation. Many retailers have started shipping the PlayStation 4 to the consumers who have pre-ordered the console in order to meet the delivery time.
CJ, known on twitter as cjcool804, actually got his PlayStation 4 by just walking into his local retail store. He has been kind enough to share information and pictures of his PlayStation 4 and the UI and how some of the settings look like.
Since yesterday, he was unable to update his PlayStation 4 with the Day One update as the update wasn’t live on the direct servers accessed by the PlayStation 4. Today the update went live and he still faced issue in downloading the update directly on the PlayStation 4 and having his patience run out, decided to download the update from the PlayStation site and update using the flash drive method. After updating he was able to sign in to his PSN/SEN ID and was able to access the store.

PlayStation Plus subscribers are offered Contrast and Resogun as free titles for the PlayStation 4 for its launch. CJ proceeded to download Housemarque’s newest title for the PlayStation 4, Resogun. From what we can tell, Resogun has already received 21 ratings and stands at an impressive 5/5 stars. Downloaded games from PSN act differently than disc based games. CJ was able to play Resogun right away after downloading, there was no installation prompt or anything. He states that the installation of the games still happen but automatically in the background.

CJ also mentions that the multitasking on the PlayStation 4 has gotten much better. On the PlayStation 3, one would have to wait for the game to install all the way and couldn’t multitask. On PlayStation 4, the installations can be done in the background while you can do other stuff like play games.
So the system multitask some things if you have a game running it prompts you to install the game downloading in the background

PlayStation 4’s apps and games now work like how Apple’s iPhone works like with a single ‘home’ button. No matter in which app you are, if you want to exit or go back you need to press the ‘home’ button. Same is the case with PlayStation 4 now. Whether your in-game or using an app, you just need to press the PS button on the DualShock 4 to be taken back to the main UI. The switching is nearly instant with no lag present.
takes getting used to no exit with apps you hit the PS button and it automatically takes you back to the UI no matter what you are doing
