PS4 bundle firmware info help

[SSShowmik]

Hey guys, if i were to buy a ps4 from a retail store right now, what would be the initial firmware? Neither pro nor slim. The original ps4 console

these bundles come with 1.76 or lower

Thanks for the info, but i was looking for a ps4 without bundle, hoping to stay below 4.05, so i was asking if the ones in retail stores come with which firmware

 

[PSXHAX]

PS4 v4.05 OFW and below is safe, and unless Sony updated them since the last shipments reports have confirmed the following:

• PS4 Slim ships with 3.55 OFW stock
• PS4 Pro ships with 3.70 OFW stock
• Uncharted 4 PS4 Bundle ships with 3.55 OFW stock

I see, thanks a lot.

But since there s nothing public for 3.55+ why would one buy a console with 3.55+ when he could buy lower than 3.55

Aren't the 1.76 ps4's like totally rare, if I were to wait on a lower than 4.05 firmware, i may just get a future chance for homebrew, i am in no rush to play ps4 games, enjoying my ps3 games, catching up to latest releases.

They are harder to find these days than 3.55 / 3.70 PS4's yep... if you don't need a 1.76 console right now (mostly only developers do, since there aren't any backup game loaders yet) it may be easier to shoot for one on 4.05 or below.
