On a brand new PS4? Lol.
Both my PS4's only emit a low pitch hum (fan noise) after prolonged gaming sessions. It is in no way intrusive and can't be heard over the sound of the game or film being played. If the console really does sound like a vacuum cleaner then I would look at getting it replaced.
There is no way I would even consider this course of action if the PS4 is acting as described and is still under warranty.

Is the replacing of the thermal easy to do? I think my console needs this doing as it's load as soon as I've loaded up! I'm no longer within warranty so I'll see about opening this up.

Is the PS4 now able to address more than a 1TB HDD? I read somewhere a while back that the OS wouldn't be able to use 2TB.

the ps4 can and always has been able to handle 2TB afaik.
it's anything over 2TB it has issues with
Soldato
No problems.
You can actually go higher than 2TB. It would have to be externally placed and have a separate power supply running to it. Anything higher than 2TB can cause issues though, such as rest mode doesn't work.

Calked sony support today to see of the mgs5 limited edition console is new new cuh1200. They didn't know for certain but he indicated it might not be.. rgrgrrrr... might cancel pre order if it's not. The cynic in me says sony eu flushing the last of old stock via these edutions...dang..
Ouch. I didn't even know this was a thing until the other day. I don't think I will be cancelling mine as the current ones are just fine surely?
There is a lot of discussion on UKHD about what model it will be. Hideo Kojima confirmed it will be CUH-1200 in Japan, but no retailer that anyone has contacted so far knows for sure. Hopefully it's confirmed before the money is taken from our accounts and then we can make a decision.

I know I've been following the hduk discussion amd on psn forum. Fact is it should be a cuh1200 but i suspect that Sony might try to dump the last of the old stock on us in this way knowing it will still sell through.
I want ps4 but want it to be the latest version to be fair.

Can you get a preorder on and then return it unopened (or cancel it if you find out before it is despatched)if it turns out to be the old one
I doubt it's a case of "dumping stock", it'll be down to whether the new model was in production for Europe at the time the MGS consoles were being manufactured. Most people will never know the difference between versions nor know which one they have.
When all said and done, does it even matter? The current consoles have shown themselves to be pretty reliable so there's no real issue. Granted, there's the fact that buying a new one should mean you get the latest revision available but ultimately you're only buying it for how it looks anyway otherwise you'd be getting a black one.

As an owner of a launch day ps4 that has got louder and louder, I would be wanting the new version above all else

I'm thinking of buying a couple of games from the psn summer sale. Question is, if (when) psn goes down can I still play ps store purchased games or am I better with disc based?

Does look like another god of war clone
As long as your PS4 is set as your primary console you can play digital games without an internet connection / when PSN is down.

True that. I've ordered the same MGS5 bundle, just for the Limited Edition console and because I found a great deal on it. I think The Running Man ordered his from the same place, so I guess it's the same model. But here's the thing. I plan on buying and playing the PC version of the game (I want to make the most of my recently built rig). Thus I won't be opening and/or installing my PS4 when it arrives. Though I have debated whether or not to forgo the PC version and just enjoy it on the PS4?
There's also the issue of space and power sockets, my set-up currently can't accommodate another system. I have considered moving the X360 downstairs, but that would require fishing out the old component cable since the downstairs TV doesn't have HDMI ports spare. Or perhaps if I get an extra long HDMI cable I can install a console at the desk next to the bed and run the cable across the room. I've already got an ethernet cable installed at that desk.
So here's my question for Sony fans and PS4 owners. What exclusives are there on PS4 worth buying right now (or within the next few months)?
I'm not fond of stuff like Last of Us PS4, since I still have my PS3 (the same game is cheaper) and I won't be putting it away and replacing it with the PS4 like most folks have. Only because the PS4 isn't backwards compatible. I'm fine with collections and things, I've yet to buy any of the Uncharted games on PS3 for example. I want a reason to justify my purchase of a PS4, I've wanted a reason since E3 last year got me excited about the system's capabilities.
If it turns out that I never find a reason to use it, then I might sell it on or something. I've been very prone to impulse buys this past year. Oh and apologies for the long post, it's been a while since I've posted in these forums.
