34 GB upgrade for PS4 to play Blueray?

[gordon_s1942]

My Son tells me that his Sister's partner recently bought a PS4 and apparently it needs an 'Upgrade' to play BlueRay disc's and when they did, it took their whole monthly allowance of 34GB !!!

Not having spoken to her I have no idea of all the details other than to say she wasnt very happy.

Being on Wireless Internet with an 8 GB per month allowance, it would only take me 4.1 months to complete if they allow interrupted downloads.......Double that when I was on a 4 GB per month Satellite connection.

That's insane! They can't forget people who have limited internet traffic.
At some point it would even make sense for you to book a hotel room where there's no limit and just leave it downloading overnight and pray it's finished in the morning.

visit macca's car park 340 times with 100mb download limit per session

Sorry Bloke, But that's just not possible..

I think you would find it just a fluke there downloads spiked at the same time the update was applied.

The update you are referring to is 480mb, nothing even close to 32000mb.

My guess he left his torrents running over night, didn't wana get in trouble with the missus, so blamed the PS4, The entire OS is only 6.7 GB LOL

I can only go on what my daughter said and she claimed it took their full months Data allowance doing the update which is why I posted it as a warning for anyone using a PS4 to check first in case what she said was correct.

Yep and I go on facts... I don't mean to be offensive, but your daughter is clueless if she is claiming this...

The ps4 software update partition on the harddrive is 6gb.. This is the only place a system update can go... You can't fit 32gb into 6gb... Sure I might be willing to investigate that perhaps something went horribly wrong with the update thag resulted in a download loop.. Even then.. But to say the update was 32gb is like saying you need 35,000ltr of water to fill you 500ltr pond .
