PS4 Firmware Update via USB

Hi guys,

This is my first post, so whey great being here

So, living in Germany I'm going to be getting my PS4 on Friday.

I will not dare trying to download the mandatory Firmware update via the Sony Servers on Friday via the PS4 since all of Europe is going to have similar things in mind, so I grabbed it today, as described on the Support page by Sony.

But here comes my question: I can of course not format my thumb drive to FAT32 on Mavericks, can anyone confirm that the Update process works with exFAT?

I apologize in advance if anyone asked that question before!

Thank You,

FifaFrancesco

Seems to be region based as there is no mention of the 1.5 update on EU playstation site.

I too downloaded the US update and it was 900mb.

The EU 1.51 update one released on PSN EU today is 350mb

Therefore clearly different. Given its smaller size, I've just decided to download it on my PS4 directly instead.

The update procedure for USB is a little more finicky than first looked. You have to boot into safe mode and then choose update.

Yeah exactly. I was originally under the impression that it was close to a Gigabyte, too but 350 Megs should be fine. Also, Amazon f'd my order up so I will be getting it Saturday if I'm lucky which should be even easier on the servers.
