I bought a 3 month code off GAME.co.uk, entered it, got to the confirm screen and pressed accept. It paused for a minute or two, then was hit with another message saying it was invalid/used. Checked PSN to see if I was + but still nothing.
Every time I try to enter it, I get no message.

Quick note for anyone getting choppy streaming on PSVita, make sure power saving on wifi is unchecked

Been scratching my head for about an hour wondering why this wasn't working and Resogun was having spasms. Different world when you uncheck that box.

 

[level44]

Anyone got a continuos 'please wait' when signing in?

The one under power save settings?

"Use Wi-Fi in Power Save Mode" that needs to be unchecked?

Anyone got a continuos 'please wait' when signing in?

I did, for about 5 mins, press O - it will let you back out.

 

[dk_]

Can I use my iPhone adapter to charge my PS4 controller over USB?

 

[Lakitu]

Man, some problems already, could use some help. I just suck at using this thing.

I used the PSN free trial but when I try and play Battlefield it says 'You must be signed in to Playstation Network and EA servers to access online features.'

It also says 'Update Downloaded. Ready to install.' And nothing seems to be happening. This is so frustrating.

 

[Nugg]

Lucky bastard... Looks like mine is not showing up today, eventhough I was re-assured in chat with CS last night. Don't understand how Amazon could fuck this up.

Amazon has been incredibly shitty on both launches. Very disappointed, I'll definitely remember.

 

[system11]

Damn son.

Well it's not all bad - the system is nice and quiet, I like the UI, the graphics are great. Just don't like the DS4, at all.

Got in to setting up an account but then the server screwed up again

Tried out remote play finally. Was buttery smooth and looked gorgeous on dat OLED.

I had to quit the game and restart for the install to begin.

My brother has trouble signing in to psn. Is this a widespread problem?

 

[OTIX]

Finally got signed in. By the way, why on earth do I have to input a state(?) and postcode? What use could PSN possibly have for that information?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Anyone got a continuos 'please wait' when signing in?

Yes, getting that now.

Whose in charge of turning the cloud on? Did they forget?

 

[level44]

Whose in charge of turning the cloud on? Did they forget?

No, it depends whether the cloud is above your house. The wind may have pushed it somewhere else.

 

[Blackthorn]

Trying to log in to PSN but I get stuck on "Please wait". Anyone know if it's better to quit out and put my details in again or just wait?

 

[DieH@rd]

How do you just take a screenshot ?

As soon as you press Share button, one screenshot will be taken. You can also say "Playstation take a screenshot" if you have camera/headset connected.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Whose in charge of turning the cloud on? Did they forget?

Crazy Ken has sabotaged PSN.

Looks good! Anecdotally it seemed to be selling well in Dublin this morning. There were a lot of people going away empty handed.

 

[Corleth the Fey]

Just got into PSN store. UK.

 

[WoolyNinja]

Tip for any new PS4 owners... when typing click the R3 stick. It allows you to use the gyroscope to type, and once you get used to it makes typing much quicker.

 

[MJLord]

How do you just take a screenshot ?

Trying mine now, but you just hit share. Select Screenshot if you want to upload it.

 

[Lakitu]

I had to quit the game and restart for the install to begin.

My brother has trouble signing in to psn. Is this a widespread problem?

Yeah thanks, just did that.

The PSN problem is definitely widespread, I've had lots of trouble with it tonight.

 

[DBT85]

Sending shit to download from the PS store on your mobile to your ps4. Banderas.Gif

So what if I'm in the same room as my PS4

 

[Betty]

Trying mine now, but you just hit share. Select Screenshot if you want to upload it.

You can change the options in the share menu so just hitting it saves a picture while holding it brings up the menu. Feels much more natural that way personally.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Question about Killzone shadowfall download. I have put it on downloading multiplayer in the game now. Do I have to have killzone running for it to do that, or can I play another game and it still downloads MP?

 

[leadbelly]

Is there no option to pause downloads? Just gives me the option to delete it. lol

 

[Vlodril]

so its finally here and seems to be working. stuck for 10 mins on trying to enter not sure if i should back out and then try again or leave it on please wait.

Also where exactly is the ps plus 14 days because i cannot seem to find it. The only code i found was for the ono offer.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Finally got my PS4.

Killzone Shadowfall is actually hard on normal lol.

How do you get the PS+ trial?

Do you actually have to get this from the store (can't log in with same details as used on PS3).

Its very hard. Make sure you make use of the OWL at all times.

 

[Orbis]

Ugh. Finally made it through to the screen where you choose whether to use your real name etc. and it fails again. I've been trying intermittently for around 6 hours and that's the second time I've got that far. So I still haven't managed to log in even once.

 

[Lakitu]

Just curious, right now Battlefield 4 is installing, could I at any point load and play Assassin's Creed 4 (that's already on my hard drive) while this installs?

 

[DieH@rd]

Question about Killzone shadowfall download. I have put it on downloading multiplayer in the game now. Do I have to have killzone running for it to do that, or can I play another game and it still downloads MP?

You can play other things. Eventually you will get notification that KZSF is ready to be started.

 

[Loomba]

Tried out remote play finally. Was buttery smooth and looked gorgeous on dat OLED.

Fantastic! my router is in the living room too where I will use my vita most, main reason I got a Vita was so that I can play Killzone and AC while the gf watches X-Factor hah.

 

[mekes]

DS4 is the best commercially available controller so far on this planet. Its the star of the show, kudos to the team who had final say in putting that one together.

 

[AmyS]

What Sony did to launch PS4 in Europe, I mean specifically in Rome, is so far beyond insane, that there just are no words..

PS4 Launch Lights Up the Pope’s Castle in Rome With Stunning Light Show Made of Blue and Polygons

held at the iconic Castel Sant’Angelo (Castle St. Angel), built as a Mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian, then turned into a Papal fortress and prison, and today used as a museum and summer residence for the Pope.
For the occasion the castle is being lit up by a stunning light show that paints its ancient walls fully blue and then switches to a ray-traced polygon pattern.

We are aware that users are experiencing some disruption to the PSN service. To minimise the inconvenience we have suspended the “redeem voucher” functionality whilst we investigate further. Unfortunately this means that money cards, product vouchers, PlayStation Plus vouchers, PS3-PS4 upgrade vouchers and any other vouchers for digital content are not redeemable at this stage. Other PSN features such as log-in, online multi-player gaming, PlayStation Plus trial, PS Store (excluding voucher redemption), trophies, messages, friends etc. are all available.

We apologies and will provide an update to this announcement soon.

I just think it's a bog-standard shooter with poor level design, boring weapons, and an awful story. The OWL is cool, though.

It's just boring to play.

Fair enough.

For me, I really enjoyed the variation in pacing. There's a great mix of quiet moments, loud moments, and stealth all mixed in with some of the most compelling environments I've seen in a long time. It's a breath of fresh air, honestly.

It's the type of shooter I enjoy simply because you're not always engaged in combat and, in general, enemies come in smaller numbers.

 

[thisandthat]

DS4 is amaze

Charging dock is great

PSN isn't working

Voice recognition has worked 100% of the time for me so far.

I highly suggest waiting with the SSD replacement, until Sony releases a patch that allows to disable the constant recording of your games (the last 15 minutes of your game).

The way how it works now, it constantly records the gameplay to the HDD, or SSD in your case. And you cant disable that feature ATM. So it produces constant write cycles on the SSD. And we all know that non stop write cycles arent the best thing for a SSD drive.

btw- is anyone else just scrolling all the pages and just caring for pics/video links?

Supposedly on the Playstation Store. I've not been able to claim it.

Reading what it says a little more closely, I noticed that you're only eligible for the offer if you've never been a subscriber, or never had a trial offer before. I never really bothered subscribing to PS+ as I spent a lot of my gaming on PC. I did however take the free 30 day trial back when PSN got hacked.

I'm guessing I can't actually have the trial because I took the trial back then. That was years ago though...

I think it only writes to the drive when you press the share button

Still can't sign in.

 

[thisandthat]

To me it looked like the video is allways writing to the hdd, I mean where else, it would take away too much RAM?

From how I understood it, any time you press the share button, you can upload the last 15 min from that point and they need to be stored somewhere, Im sure not in the RAM.

 

[leadbelly]

I can't believe there is no pause for downloads. Why would they remove the ability to pause downloads when the PS3 has it?

 

[Danziger]

I'm really entranced by my PS4!
Killzone is beautiful, graphically amazing! Also very nice and fun to play! Gorgeous!
In addition to detail, wonderful textures, light effects, what amazed me is the cleanliness graphics of these games! Crazy!

FIFA 14 for the lovers of football games is fantastic!
Resogun is too gorgeous!
Playroom lot of fun!
Later I'll try the rest (ACIV, NFS Rivals, Battlefield 4 and Knack)! But I'm really happy for now, PS4 is a jewel!


I Love my PS4!!!

 

[Rich!]

whenever PSN is up you need to all add me, my PS4 owning ass kicking brethren

PSN: richisawesome - of course

 

[Kosma]

I think it only writes to the drive when you press the share button

I dont think they set enough ram aside for 15 min of it, it must use the hdd I think

er... I don't think so.

These standard endurance rates are more than enough for most applications. For example, a 64GB SSD with MLC NAND Flash, ECC, and wear-leveling technology could have 22GB of new data written to it every day for five years before endurance would become a problem.

http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/f...dyState-increase-SSD-life&p=360792#post360792

And that's on a small 64Gb HDD. On a larger HDD you're going to be more then fine.
