Yhea, would be a nice feature. The single biggest thing I wish is that I would be notified when a friends comes online. I hope they'll fix that soon enough.

Same here. It just seems too "quiet". I'll never have 2,000 friends or even 200 so I don't want to hear the usual excuse of why it's not there.
Can you actually view videos from the What's New area? I've tried to watch uploaded videos but it never starts.

Yes I believe so. Search FD_Reborn on PS4 and try to watch the ones I uploaded lol.
I feel being able to manually select which of your friends it notifies you are online would be a good compromise.
I have a couple of friends who I usually jump into an online game with pretty much as soon as we are all online. Being able to choose for the PS4 to notify when they come online and disconnect would be nice.
titanfall, sunset overdrive, halo 5, and quantum break (if it comes out in 2014).
compared to ps4 titles im interested in between now and fall ---> just the order 1886.

Yhea. I have 3 friends on PSN, all of which I know in real life. Sometimes we don't know we are on at the same time because no one actually looks to see. Not that it's hard to do -- it's just that nobody pauses their game every 15-20 minutes to see if someone is online.
Are Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5 confirmed for fall? And not that they're the same games by any means, but it seems like somebody who is interested in Quantum Break would be interested in Infamous Second Son (third person action game with cinematic story). Same with Uncharted. I feel like the these games would have some overlapping interest. I know I'm interested in Quantum Break for sure.

Outside of Titanfall, we know very little about any of these games outside of some reveal trailers which don't really show us actual game.
Kinda early to be making any decisions over titles far off and that we know little about yet, nor confirmed release dates on either system.
sunset overdrive is confirmed for a 2014 release, yes, not sure if its in fall, but all we know is 2014.
halo 5 is also 2014, and i'm assuming it will be a holiday 2014 release.
and no, im very interested in quantum break, but not infamous (i've played past infamous games, and didnt like them) , but QB looks great.
And I actually am a fan of Naughty Dog and Uncharted series, however, I dont think UC4 will be ready for a fall 2014 release. if it does, then i will repurchase my ps4 earlier than expected.
Early next year. Nobody knows what "early" implies :/
Yes, but if you're not Facebook friends with the uploaded their video must be set to public for you to view it.

Wanna ask a question.
If two different PSN accounts of different regions ( with 2 PS+ subs ) set the same console as the 'home console', can Account A player play the PS+ games of Account B?

Right now it's just Facebook. People will see whatever name is on your Facebook account.
They're adding in other sites in the future, I believe.
Yup!
You sure someone just didn't hit Options > Delete? Delete is the first option in the menu on digital titles.
The PS4 doesn't auto-delete content like the Xbox One does.

How do I know that the DS4 controller has fully charged when the console is in standby? The yellow light on the controller is slowly flashing. Does it change the color or does the light turn of or something?
Pretty sure it was him ranting in the XB1 thread.
Brought back memories for me when he was a mod and would just go apeshit and wreck every topic related to Kinect
So I tried to google the answer, stick kind of shocked that there is no screensaver/dimming option for the PS4

lol, right okay. BTW have some avatar badges ready but I think I'll wait till the new page to post them.
I don't really see what is so great on the Xbox one coming up other than titanfall, while on PS4 you have driveclub and infamous coming. Unless you're including the launch lineup which would skew more towards Xbox I guess.
Personally though, if you buy any console at launch you surely expect a post launch drought and factor that into your buying?

It turns off when it is fully charged

Why no set it to shutting off after 20 min / 1 hour of being idle?
Combined with HDMI control if your TV supports it.

Thanks mate
I'd call Sony if I was you, maybe you got a refurb and the guy before you used the code?
...I actually thought I did, I will recheck to see if I screwed it up. thx
I sent them a Email, the PS+ 30 day trial works fine but not this one.
Maybe they are region locked or something because I bought the system on the US but Im not in the US.

out of curiosity, what exactly on xbone is that appealing to you compared to the offerings on ps4, seeing as you own both plus a PC? not talking about what may come in the future, talking about what is there today on both.
i think everyone can agree that first party launch offerings on both consoles aren't great. its basically ryse, killer instinct and DR3 vs killzone, resogun and knack. all of the third party games are better on the ps4 by some magnitude (resolution, framerate, etc...)
if DR3, killer instinct and ryse are > killzone, resogun and knack then sure thats a good enough reason to switch
the reason i ask like this is if you are looking forward to something that may be in place on the xbone in the future, but isnt there today, then switching isn't going to provide any benefits until those features are actually there. unless i'm missing something.

Anyone have a mic they'd like to recommend for multiplayer? I'm looking for a mono headset rather then an earbud that plugs into the controller. Preferably one that switches sides so I can wear it in both ears-with a price tag of somewhere around $25-$30 or less.

Forza which you failed to mention is a big deal for me. I love driving games but have not been interested in the arcade side of it for a while. Being able to play a sim leaning driving game with a wheel is a big thing for me.
My other games consist of FIFA, BF4, killer instinct and Max:The curse of brotherhood.
Once I'm bored of those things, I still have ruse and dead rising three to get into.
The selection of things on xb1 that aren't just things I already played on pc are much greater on xb1.
I'm more than happy to have bf4 on the xb1 and not the ps4 just to keep my console gaming unfragmented for now. I already have it on pc. If higher res was all I cared about if have stuck to my Pc version.
My favouring the xb1 comes from more than the games as the post you quoted pointed out.
I stream music/video to it when I want.
I use my phone/tablet/laptop to control it.
I find music/video to play on smartglass and start it on xb1.
I use a miracast adapter in the hdmi in to mirror my phone/tablet screen to the TV app on the bone so available apps don't even matter. For instance, the sky go app for xb1 won't arrive till next near, but I can just stream the sky go app from my phone while keeping it part of the xb1 app. There is also no crunchyroll app, but again "Xbox watch TV" and loading up crunchyroll on my phone or laptop is enough for me to be watching whatever.
The conscious implementation of speech recognition into almost everything, apps and all and the fact that Kinect comes in the box.
There is just a much larger amount of pure flexibility and new experiences, gaming related or not that I have with the bone that PS4 can't touch for now.
As you're aware I'm a pc gamer and one that got bored with chasing pixels a long tome ago. That isn't what games are (all) about to me any more and the overall experience is more important to me these days. Plus I just like gadgets.
PS4 has put its heart into gaming over all, but FOR NOW, its purity is not shining through FOR ME. If anything its serving as a negative until it starts to hit its stride.
Edit: holy crap I thought this was the 'i like the xb1 line up but want a ps4' thread...... maybe this post is a bit too much for this thread.....

Just got my brothers PS4 that was delivered from Amazon.
WTF
Box was almost completely open, and not an ounce of padding in the bottom of the box.

So, made some PS4 avatar badges for the community. I can't actually remember if I've seen PS avy badges on GAF before, so thought I'd make some.
They come in two sizes, and all 4 corners.
Regular size:
Smaller size:
Examples:
Have fun
If Amir0x wasn't banned I might have suggested linking here in the OP, haha.
For anyone without an image editing app, the online Pixlr image editor is decent. Open both your avatar and the badge from URLs or files then Ctrl+A to select all, and copy/paste the badge on top of your avatar. Easy as anything.

Is that why shutdown and going into standby take so long? I never thought of that. All my saves are just uploading to the cloud before the thing can turn off?
- Application Saved Data Management
- Saved Data in Online Storage
- Download your save(s)
That would be why yes. Any new save games are uploaded once your user is logged out.

These are well done, actually.

It does take a while to shut down or go into standby. I counted about 45 seconds to a minute.

Well I like that feature then, and will gladly live with the slow shutdowns. The only thing better would be completely automated on the fly(as well as trophies), but we'll take baby steps first.

Pretty cool thanks.
Does anyone here play Blacklight Retribution? I cant see how the devs can expect anyone to pay for this game it lags like crazy, has audio bugs and other performance issues. Its a pretty fun game otherwise but with its performance i dont see how they expect anyone to open their wallet. I even had a few matches where it didnt show my psn id and just said player and the xp and credits you earn dont count once its fixes itself.
