Sony has spoken about accessing your PS4 games on any machine, and how PlayStation 4′s ability to ‘play as you download’ makes, “a digital [game] library a practical option in the real world”.
[h=2]PS4′s digital library lets you play games anywhere[/h]Speaking at Develop, Neil Brown, Sony’s R& senior team leader, outlined the process that lets you access your games on other machines at other people’s houses:


“You can visit your friends house you can log into your account and play any game from your digital library, which is good. But how useful is that if it takes half a day to download the game you want to play? With Play As You Download you get much quicker access to at least the first section of the game so you can start playing quicker. So this makes a digital library a practical option in the real world.”


He also explained more about how the same system means you’ll never have to wait for games to install. Instead you can play instantly but still benefit from the faster loading and streaming from PS4′s hard drive thanks to more background processes:


“A similar system also works on Blu-ray, chunks are automatically copied to the hard drive in the background. This means that after the first few minutes your game can rely on having faster read speeds from the hard drive. Which provides a better experience for players, and this is a completely background process for the player. They don’t have to wait for anything to install before playing the game. The game will launch as soon as the disk has been put in the drive.”

Would be better if my ISP upgrade it end along with my line over taking the cheap route :p
Same goes for a ton of ISPs and network companies.

True but even if your ISP offered an amazing speed; Sony caps downloads on their end. But, I feel you! Up untill 2009-2010, I lived in an area which was nothing but dial-up.

The government need to get involved and make it easier for mom and pop internet places or start regulating larger ISPs. The shit they can get away with and what they provide is BS.

I feel sorry for you US guys it meant to be worse. UK is only a little bit better but more needs to be done under investment in that area is bad.
Sony does not cap downloads it's due to bottlenecks which are due to route it takes from the servers. Mainly caused by 3rd party networks over your ISP.
How I understand it.

Could be bottlenecks in-between my connection and Sony; I just have read a number of forms which have suggested Sony caps downloads @ 20-30 mpbs... Bottlenecks sounds like a more reasonable reason, but not as easy to fix as it being capped.

Hopefully your ISP gets their shit in order in your neck of the woods!

im lucky to get 2MBps down

I hope you don't have to be signed-in the whole time you are playing that game.

From your isp in general or psn?

Cause that is normally what I get on psn.. Unless its early in the morning 2-6am then its like 2.5-4 MBps (averages 2.5).

in general, on utorrent i averagely download around 890kbps-1mb a second. does my head in tbh, no fibre optic til next year if im lucky either.

nice idea
