Sony: You’ll Need To Update Your PlayStation 4 Before You Can Use Its Features

For some reason or another, the PlayStation 4 will not ship with the latest software installed upon it. For that, you'll have to download a 300mb patch to bring the system up to speed with version 1.50, which is set for a simultaneous release with the system's launch next month. 

By updating the system software to version 1.50, you'll be able to experience what Sony calls a variety of new features in addition to the basic functions of the PlayStation 4. 

Here's what's in store:
