Elder Scrolls Online free for PC and PS4 players this weekend

On PS4 at least, it's a huge download (70+ GB) which may dissuade many.




OK that preview didn't work so great... maybe due to the age-gate at the ESO site? Click the TINY link for more details. It starts tomorrow, the free weekend. [Edit: OK that whole blank space if clickable so maybe we just didn't get an image or something...?]
Age gate possibly yeah. Also, I heard other people were having slow downloading times on the PS4 recently, which made me sad. Took me a whole weekend to download ESO on there :(
PSN really needs to work on those download speeds in general, every Destiny patch is painful as well. I have my PS4 connected straight into my router and it seems to do nothing for the connectivity.
Do they not use traditional server structure? I don't play consoles as much but my XBone seems to be similar to my PCs for DL speed.
I don't know that I've ALWAYS had an issue, though. I want to say that I have downloaded things just fine in the past, but it was really ESO (the most recent thing I've downloaded on the PS4) and it was just agonizing.
Come to think of it, I downloaded Titanfall 2 on the XB1, and THAT was kinda slow too...Hmmm. Maybe I need a new router.
