Good thing I don't have PSN+.

Auto-update? more like auto-brick.

No problem for me, updated and played Last of Us for 2 hours. If you upgraded your hard drive, you might want to wait, could be part of the problem but many with upgraded hard drives had no problems updating. Be safe...

They need to fix this dumb sh!t

How the hell are we going to be scared to update our damn consoles because they might break?

FIX YOUR SH!T, SONY!!

I hope this stupid ass problem doesn't become routine on PS4..
