PS4 day one update can download in the background, No XMB Wallpapers

4.5
In another round of Twitter confirmations, courtesy of Sony Worldwide Studios’ boss Shuhei Yoshida, comes information about update 1.50 for PlayStation 4, otherwise known as the ‘day one update.’ He also touches on the user’s ability to set custom wallpapers for their XMB background.

Yoshida was answering fan questions as usual on his Twitter feed, and answered one fan who was asking whether or not they would be able to download the day one update in the background while playing. Yoshida answered ”yes”, confirming the ability. This should come as good news to those of us with that are anxious to play the launch games as soon as we get our hands on the system.

Another fan asked if it was possible to set custom user wallpapers for the XMB background, to which he replied ”no”, though he did confirm that you can import your photo from Facebook for use as an avatar.

PlayStation 4 launches November 15 in North America, and November 29 in Europe.

Ill just wait for the custom firmware that will allow custom these and desktop backgrounds. No need to be giving Sony even more money.

Dreams another reason to get ps4 xbox has yet to win my vote we shall see tho in the upcoming weeks


Let me try to convince you. Why are you on the ps4 right now and not on the xbone ?


It looks like xbox one is aimed completely at Americans...


The Xbox One is primarily aimed at a western market as in most eastern countries Sony tends to dominate the market. this goes double in places like japan to the point of which Microsoft where considering not even releasing the new console there

Lavish I would prefer background downloads every day of the week rather than having to wait forever for it.


Background downloads sure is a great feature to have in the PS4. I would also prefer it over XMB Wallpaper customization
