PS4 help and questions

Can't I login into PSN without update it?
I don't want to update it since it's possible 8.52 might get exploit in near future.

no

Simple, no. You need to be on latest FW in order to login into psn.

What I'm going to do then?

 

[godreborn]

why do you want to log in?

You cant play online w/o update. Update or get a second ps4 console for it.

So I can download games from my PSN account since 8.52 don't have exploit yet and I can't afford to buy games yet.

Sadly I can't afford another PS4 before next year.

it might be possible to do this on another ps4. however, I think sony added the fact that you can no longer be on a different firmware for your external drive where before, you could plug in your drive on lower firmware. that's how people were still dumping games.

I guess I for buy another PS4 next year.

might as well get a ps5 if you can find one. kind of a waste to buy a second ps4 now.

Sadly PS5 it's quite expensive where I live and I might do that which I can afford it.

There is not another option, sorry.

Can't login without updating firmware and latest is 9.00, not like that firmware is any good anyway, should read this thread.

I should have that replacement wifi stick very soon. it's in my city right now. I had some issues with 0KB files going to the 360 yesterday, so maybe my firewall is messing something up?
