We've covered Upgrading a PS4 HDD, and beyond some Sasuke Crashes with the release of PS4 Firmware 4.50 Beta comes a guide on setting up a USB 3.0 external hard disk drive up to 8 Terabytes (TB) on PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.50 and above.

Here are the PS4 External HDD Set Up Tutorial steps, to quote from the gurus at JustPushStart.com:

How To Use your External Hard Drive

To be able to use your external hard drive, make sure that the one you have is utilizes USB 3.0. You can either use the 3.5 External Hard Drive or those portable ones. In my case, I used Nyko’s Databank of the Xbox One to be the external hard drive of my PS4, equipped with an additional 1TB WD Green 3.5 hard drive.

Formatting your external hard drive is quite easy. Simply go to Settings and go to Devices. Under it, you’ll find USB Storage Devices.


If you have multiple external hard drives hooked up on your PS4, find the ones you want to use. You’ll be then asked to format it.


You’ll then go through the set-up process which is pretty quick.


Once it’s done formatting, go back to the USB Storage Devices and you should see a green light icon beside the ones you formatted. If so, you are ready to use the hard drive!


Now, you have the option to either use the hard drive you just formatted or simply keep installing applications on your internal storage until its full. To change the Applications Install location, simply highlight the hard drive of your choice, click the Options button from your DUALSHOCK 4 controller, and click confirm. You should see a text “Application Install Location” on the hard drive of your choice.

Please note that ONLY the applications and games are installed on the External Hard Drive. Save Datas and other internal files will be installed on the internal storage of your PS4.

Following the recent webMAN 1.46n and webMAN MOD 1.46.01 updates, PlayStation 3 multiMAN v04.81.02 developer @deank shared a PS3 sLaunch webMAN / webMAN MOD frontend preview 0.1 this weekend on his YouTube Channel with details, some demo videos and sMAN updates below.

Download: slaunch_preview.zip (174 KB) / sman.sprx / sman_1.02.sprx (webMAN + sLaunch sMAN Plugin) / sMAN_1.00.zip (625 KB) / sMAN_1.01.zip (1.32 MB) / sMAN_1.02.zip (1.33 MB) / sMAN_1.05.zip (1.38 MB) / sMAN_1.07.zip (1.52 MB) / sMAN_1.08.zip (1.76 MB) / sMAN_1.10.zip (2.09 MB) / sMAN_1.11.zip (1.80 MB) / sMAN_1.12.zip (1.80 MB)

To quote from deank: It is just proof-of-concept, but if someone wishes to give it a try: http://deanbg.com/slaunch_preview.zip

You'll have to add slaunch.sprx to your boot_plugins.txt. It requires this new webMAN, so you'll have to use both. After you get your games refreshed at least once sLaunch will pick them up. To start sLaunch from XMB hold the "START" button.

This is a preview version and it will only show 1 page of 10 games, although all are detected. When I'm ready with this new interface it can become part of webMAN, so there will be no need for separate plugin, but for PoC it is what it is.

IMPORTANT: THIS TEST VERSION WORKS ONLY IN 1920x1080p/i (FullHD). Do not try it if your PS3 is set to different...

Recently we saw some handy SendPSN Tools and now PlayStation 4 developer Dr. Luckeyy released a Gamer Choice Sony PSN ID Availability Tool that allows you to check whether a PSN ID is available or in use already on Sony's PlayStation Network when Creating an Account at your leisure.

For those who are new to PlayStation Network and planning to register a PSN ID here are some tips from Sony that may be of use as well, to quote:

How do I choose my Online ID?

Please bear in mind the following when choosing your Online ID:

• You cannot change your Online ID once it has been created, so choose carefully.
• Your Online ID must be three to 16 characters and can consist of letters, numbers, hyphens (-) and underscores (_).
• We recommend that you do not use an Online ID that might personally identify you to other users.
• We do not allow vulgar or offensive Online IDs that violate the Community Code of Conduct. If you have an offensive or vulgar Online ID you may find that your account or PlayStation system is banned in line with the Community Code of Conduct.
• You may find that your first few choices of Online ID have been chosen by another user. Be patient and make as many attempts as you need to until you are happy with your chosen Online ID - don’t forget you can’t change it once you’ve decided.
