PlayStation 4 - Questions & General Comments on Console

[gigemaggs99]

I'm lost, what is rest mode?

From reading the comments, people using USB connections etc...are those people using the PS4 for other things than gaming? I understand it will do more, hopefully, knock on wood I don't have issues but I only use my PS4 for gaming. I don't use the Netflix, or music, or search the internet or do any of the other features it does....I guess I'm old. It's like my "smart phone". I use it to make calls, take calls, send and receive text messages....that's about it. I've tried to search the internet but I get frustrated with how slow it is and then when it does work it's in 6 pt font and I can't read the thing, becomes tedious trying to pan around a webpage. Morale, I use the PC for the internet computer stuff, cell phone for phone calls, and PS4 for gaming.

I'm sure I'm missing out on something neat like time travel or something else cool but atleast my devices do the bare minimum for which they were created without little to no hiccups.

On a side note, I will say it's kinda spooky, at 4AM my PS3 turned on, it's in our bedroom, it woke my wife and I up, I guess it was doing some sort of auto update, it turned on, lit up the room for a few minutes, then shut off. She asked what was going on, I told her, "IT'S ALIVE!"

Happy Halloween!
