I could be wrong, but seems like someone said you have to download it from the browser in UK. I'm in US though.

I did try that. I added it to my basket and went through the checkout process. Unfortunately, nothing happened on my PS4 (no new notifications).

I did see it on the website later with something along the lines of 'unavailable' written on it.

I'll have to try again today and see if it works.

Thanks for the reply.

@Raf1k1,

When signed in online to the SEN Store, go into the queue/download list for your PS4 through the account settings (your name at the top of the screen). You should see FFXIV on your download list. Add it to your queue.

You can probably do it where you are atm if your able to sign in to the store (phone app).

Thanks EyeWishUHeaven

I need to activate my PS4 it seems.

Its under demos..

Raf1k14458d ago

I've read this too somewhere but I don't see a demos option on the store when browsing on my PS4 though there is one on PS3.

Any chance you could tell me what path I take to get to the demos section?

I have a 1TB Hybrid in my PS4 and when my buddy comes over with his stock ps4, I always load faster than him. Sometimes more than 10 seconds. I am talking about any game.

that's weird. i did the exact same thing and found the game fully installed and ready to go when i went back to the console... yeah, be sure to queue the download on the web store as well, not just 'buying' it.

i went nuts and put a 1TB full SSD in my ps4 and was actually not THAT impressed with the improvement. boot up is definitely faster, but I think there is something about the OS that doesn't really take full advantage. on my PC the SSD can make load screens almost non-existant, with few things/levels ever needing more than 5 seconds. resogun levels still have you sit there maybe 7 seconds or so. killzone's initial load also still takes a while. the benefits might not be that much better than simply going up to a 7200RPM drive. SSHDs are compelling, but I'm still hopeful of future versions with larger SSD portions.

I got a pretty solid deal on my SSD and I'm pretty sure I'll get lots of use out of it whether in my PS4 or back to a PC or something. But it might be worth just going with an SSHD or a 7200RPM 2.5incher for the PS4 for most people as a speed upgrade.

Problem is that the PS4 is only supporting Sata 1/2 not Sata 3. So the max speed with a SSD on a ps4 that you can get are 300 MB/s.
