Firmware on Playstation 4 20th Anniversary Edition

Post by hexcode99 »

Does anyone know for sure that the Playstation 4 20th Anniversary Edition comes with firmware 1.76?

In this video, they opened a 20th Anniversary Edition PS4 and at 6:06 the one guy says:
"Go find out what firmware is on that thing, out of the box. I'm curious."

Then at 6:34 they say that their 20th Anniversary Edition PS4 had 1.76 firmware installed.

I was lucky enough to purchase a 20th Anniversary Edition PS4 when they went on sale.
Mine is still sealed, but I have not found any confirmation what firmware it might have other then this video.

Well you have a very well known, very helpful member of the community saying 2.00 and someone from this video saying 1.76. Might be that some of the lower number serial numbers were manufactured with 1.76 while some of the later ones came with 2.00. Only one way to find out though, opening that box and loosing money in the process if you planned to sell it in the future. Since such a limited number were manufactured there's not going to be a whole lot of information regarding them so it's up to you whether you want to make the gamble or not

yifanlu said he "thinks" it came with 2.00. Is he 100% sure?

It does not seem to be too early of a serial number as in the video they say theirs is 8,261 out of 12,300.

But to be honest, not sure what I plan on doing with it. It was an impulse buy that took a lot of refreshing to even get the purchase to go through. If I can confirm it has 1.76 it even adds to the value and I might consider opening it depending on the how the PS4 jailbreaking goes.
