Ps4 just got delivered

Just got it last night after getting home from work.
Let me tell you so far I am less than impressed. It took me close to 3 hours before I could play anything.
1hr system update
Put COD in and oops must download application to play multiplayer
4 hrs later it downloads then I don't have a PS plus acct that I just signed up for 30 day free trial...code no longer works
Buy the full year for $50
As for limited use my opinions are:
graphics are nothing much different than ps3
The system navigating is VERY slow going from basic screens on system backbone
Has locked up several times or not performed action where a reset is required.
$600 bucks later I am kicking myself. Any insight would be appreciated. Not sure if I got a lemon console or others are having same issues.

So your internet sucks arse? What does that have to do with the PS4? The system update for everyone else on this board including myself took about 7 minutes to download and install. OR you could have downloaded it online weeks ago to a flash drive and installed it in 2 seconds. Your fault.

Support would have given you another one easily and quickly, probably a few extra months too. A year of PS+ was on sale for 29.99 everywhere on black friday and on Amazon with an extra $5 video credit, sucks for you. Was posted on here more than once.

Mine and everyone elses is fast as frick with virtually zero lag or hang time, even in a game my trophies, profile, friends list, etc load in under 2 seconds. Out of a game it is instant.

Mine has locked up zero times (got it launch day). Don't see many having lock up issues that require a reset. Game crashing? Sure. Resets? No.

I haven't had many issues with mine, other than some corrupt saved gamed files. The navigation and graphics have been great for me.

I don't have either system.
But I wouldn't let the first time updates bother you. You have to remember the console was actually probably manufacture months ago, so it's not odd at all to have a huge update
Like that.
Is COD the only game you've played? Because any and all trailers of that game I've seen left me extremely unimpressed. I hear if you're really wanting to show the graphics off, Killzone is the way to start off.
As far as the home screen and whatnot being laggy, can't say much about that.

I've had some issues. Just don't enjoy it as much as I do my Xbox one. The graphics are the same except the Xbox can do much more. Don't get the har har har ima hardcore gamer so I buy ps4 lol games look the same.

with all due respect frick you, mine shipped over a month ago and is still not here

Sorry you have been disappointed. I haven't played ps4 yet but I would try another game. Cod has a reputation of being the worst looking next gen game. Initial system updates can be annoying these days but it comes with the territory, especially with new consoles. I would try ac4 or killzone because everyone says they look great on ps4.

My first PS4 was a dud. I had to get it replaced by Amazon which they did for free. The new PS4 runs like a dream. No issues whatsoever. Downloads don't take me that long but I'm hardwired.
As for graphics I play BF4 and it looks light years better than PS3. No comment on Ghosts.

I have both the ps4 and Xbox one. Ps4 is where it's at right now. Sorry you chose to get cod, a game that was just a port and not built from the ground up as next gen. The Xbox ones menu is an absolute cluster, it take much longer to get around to things like settings, or friends lists, and is missing voice messages.
Get rezogun free and play that. I fell in love with it. As for another game, my opinion is BF4 is broken, shadow fall def LOOKS next gen but you won't be wowed by the story, and assassins creed is just another port. Get nba 2k14 for next gen capabilities graphic wise.
Also... Why did you get cod ghosts again? Lol. The Xbone is massive. The controller is massive. The powerbrick is massive. And it too has long updates (battlefield 4's update took about 8 min last night) so it too takes awhile. Look I have 112,000 Gs so I'm not a ps4 fan boy, but neither one of these machines can shine right now given their launch lineup. Relax, you only spent $400 compared to the xbone's $500, and your behind the machine that is SUPPOSED to outshine the xbone due to its better internals.

These two will change very very rapidly. The early PS3 games looked like garbage.. and as time goes, they look fricking incredible.
