I think it a hideous looking machine, much bigger and uglier than I anticipated and the optical drive is incredibly noisy which renders blu ray movie playback almost pointless (I say almost because I find placing a material like blutac, bubblewrap or a mouse mat underneath the cheap bundled stand helps dampen the vibrations caused by the blu ray drive).
Even installing PS4 games isn't straightforward, when I insert a disc, it doesn't automatically install it, and if I press 'play game', it says it can't find the app, so I have to delete the game from the home screen then reinsert the disc and then it installs it automatically. Very strange and illogical. The homescreen seems like a step backwards too with very little customisation. So, yes, I'm very underwhelmed with the system so far. I much prefer Nintendo console launches where ten minutes after unpacking the machine, you're sat down playing a game with a big grin on your face.
All that said, I am looking forward to playing Demon's Souls, and plenty of older PS4 games without hearing the PS4 Pro fans revving up every few minutes.
