Wow some people are unlucky with that, I have used mine since updating and not a sniff of trouble.
Just tried to put mine in rest mode and just had a flashing Amber light with nothing happening. I unplugged and it did the disk check and now just boots to a frozen background that freezes after a few seconds. If I turn it off it does the same again, disk check then frozen background.....

Just got myself a PS4 with killzone (second hand) and the last of us (new) from amazon. Console and the last of us comes tomorrow (sunday delivery woop!) but is there anything I should know to get started with it?
I've joined the PS4 club![]()
Turn it off, press the power button for as long as it takes to get two beeps. then connect a ds4 via usb. select option 5 to rebuild database, if that fails use option 3 to reload the firmware, then once it's working don't use rest mode, mine is buggered in rest mode as well... hopefully stability fixes incoming soon from Sony..
Sony need to start a preview program for firmware updates much the same as ms do ..
It's working again now after a rebuild. Rest mode is now borked even though it had been working fine until today.
Just glad it's working again didn't really fancy swapping it again so soon.
yes don't use rest mode if you update to firmware 2.0 and if you what to play online you'll need a ps4+ accounti. wait till Sony issues a fix on rest mode
loads of games, but depends on what you like...
Noted. I guess rest mode is similar to the xbox one "instant on" mode?
Any good downloadable games worth getting? Any news on backwards compatibility yet?
Well it's not really instant, it's there so it stays connected to the net to download updates and games and stuff. But Sony are hopefully integrating a game suspend/pause mode which should then perhaps speed up the rest mode feature.

It seems PSN is improving.....slightly. My friends list loads straight away but messages still take forever to load and send.
