How To Set Up Your PS4

It’s been a long time since I last set up a brand new, next-gen console. I think we often forget what that’s like; first day update, user profile creation, endless settings, system configuration, and learning a new menu. 

I wanted to write down all of the steps for setting up a new PS4, tell you about some useful settings that are buried deep in the settings menu, and give you some helpful tips to make your first set up process a little less frustrating.

• Wiring It Up
• Day One Update Trick
• PS4 Dashboard Overview
• Helpful Settings – Coming Soon

• PS4 Error Code – e-80411302

Please let me know if I’m missing anything in the comments below. I’m sorry if some of these things are insultingly simple, but I still feel it’s worth having these things written down somewhere.
