30GB is nothing if you like me have a 200Mbit/s connection.


Of which only the rich and powerful have access to. 200 MBit connections aren't commonplace in the US unfortunately. Though my city is getting Google Fiber soon, so a 30 GB PS4 wouldn't be all the hard to download, I just don't have a PS4 yet. It's gonna be a long time, if ever, before we see "backups" running on the console.

Seeing as the files are pkg I am going to assume they came from Sony's psn servers rather than a bluray disc. Still useless for now anyway
the .pkg is not from psn, it's now how sony is organizing their files on their game discs. instead of using folders and files like on PS3, it's a single big package containing the game's file.
Maybe because the games need to be installed on the internal HDD before playing?
Or is that auto-accessed/extracted when playing?

Not that I know much about it, just going by how I seen things on the ps3. I would assume the pkg gets installed on the ps4 when the bluray gets started but I'm sure starter people than I will be figuring that out

Dont see anything happening with this anytime soon
It wont read burnt discs, only pressed like the ps3

these days people prefer the much faster Ethernet transfer option. but as everyone said this is a looooong way away. At least I'll be able to start a collection early :)
