Has anyone tried out the official Sony Bluetooth Headset? The one with the USB dongle? Curious to know if that might be working post-update.

So overall a huge improvement over ps3 everything is just so much faster and snappier... it's not a painful waiting game when launching apps & games... downloading and installing all on it's own in the background is wonderful....
BUT WHY is the browser such crap?! I know the system is for gaming, but I just want a mediocre browser at least on such a powerful machine. I can't even view this thread without it telling me it's ran out of system memory... Really?!
Please give me a better browser Sony!!!!

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Ok Bruce, even though sitting on a beach in Mexico doesn't sound too bad.
The Dualshock 4 is the best controller I've held, period. I've been console gaming since Atari and DS4 being best feeling one is truthfact.
Remote play work flawlessly on my home network. I can't notice any lag whatsoever. Last night playing Resogun from my bed on the 3rd floor while the PS4 was in the basement was something magical. Remote play now is what remote play should have always been. It just works.
Downloads from the PSN were pretty crazy last night due to millions connecting to PSN but overall I feel like they are a bit faster for me. I'm connected over ethernet. Overall the store seems to be a bit more fluid. As does the OS in general, no more waiting 2 or 3 seconds for the XMB to show up while in a game, simple tap of the PS button and BOOM you're there.
Killzone SF looks amazing, Resogun is an absolute eye melting fun game. I haven't tested out any media features such as loading MP4s.
Let me know if there is something more specific you want to know.

There has been no surf for two days and its been raining non stop. I want my PS4.
My name is Bruce and yes I have a problem
I LOVE this auto record feature sooo much. Would never have gotten to capture this without it.

Alright, finally decided to setup PS4.
Mine is setup on a large table in front of my 1080p LED set. Not inside or on a shelf of any kind. It should have all the ventilation it needs. Was very careful to plug in HDMI connections and power connections IN ORDER. I decided NOT to connect to internet/PSN for now. Did initial system setup. Check.
DS4 feels great.
Only setting I wanted to see was that it was outputting in 1080p. Okay.
Inserted the Battlefield 4 disc. Installed the update that was on disc, but not the day one patch. System went through the process, auto reset. I held my breath as the system stayed powered down (or whatever mode it goes into) and soon enough it started back up. It installed what it needed to from BF4.
Played some BF4. SP of course. Awesome.
So far, so good.
Not planning to go online until I learn more from GAF.

Cry because he was too short to reach the top of the shelf...and genetics weren't kind to him in the height department fourteen years later.

That happened with the PS3, some white guy dressed as a pimp bought one in New York and smashed it infornt of the rest of the queue.
GG Dude, 15 seconds of internet fame worth the $400 price tag?
Yep,same here,now I am getting the under maintenance message...
The speakers for my home theater are currently BEHIND my couch, because there's no place to run the wires from the projector (also behind the couch) to the front of the room. If Blu Rays and DVDs have decent stereo audio from the controller, with no lag, it would be super-convenient for me.
Could you try playing a DVD with the controller jack headphones?

Will report back I am getting audio but dvd is not playing for more than a couple seconds
Sound quality is just ok. A bit too quiet. No lag.
I know this isn't something many will need to do, but it is an issue and I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced it. I have to use digital optical out for my audio since my receiver does not have hdmi. While playing NBA2K last night, with the optical output set as my main source for audio, the audio would crap out after a few minutes. Crap out ranges from stuttering, to skipping badly, to downright making scary noises. Also, this was not exclusive to the game. The audio would continue this way even after leaving the game and it affected the system's menu music and anything else that made sound. The only thing that solved this issue was switching to hdmi as my main audio source. At that point I would still get audio as pro logic thru the receiver and lose DD or DTS completely. This remedied the issue completely but obviously isn't the optimal quality. If anyone has experienced this or has read that there is a fix or a patch please let me know. Yes I know I need a newer receiver but spare me that for now gaf, thanks.
It was a little tough to get logged in around 12-1am, but since then it has been reliable and extremely quick.

Oh shiiit.. Tell me more. I'm dying for impressions.
I don't have a high enough definition camera to properly show it. I totally didn't understand the issue people were having till I actually saw it on mine.
It's hard to describe, but like, say you put a cup (HDMI Cable) in a cup holder (PS4 HDMI Port).
You tighten the tray to make sure your cup is snug in the receptacle.
With the "problem" your cup holder is too big and it doesn't fit and stay in the right way.

Oh good to know I can back out and go play single player while they sort out the psn issues.
Picked mine up this morning at the Gamestop in NYC, 30 Rockefeller Center. Walked in with no issues, paid off my pre order and picked up a new vita memory card. Already had knack, killzone, second controller and camera.
After I paid, the line of people started to arrive. I figured it would be the best place to pre order since its walking distance from work but also because the plaza is usually closed or really only frequented by tourist.
Everything is going well so far, camera and controller setup, waiting for the setup to complete post PSN Sign In.. Guess PSN is getting hammered so it may be a while.
Guess I can ... play my PS3 while I wait and hand out on Gaf.

From my understanding the Real Name that you see on the top of the screen is just there for you. Externally you will still show up as XxxXpsnnameXxx420
Lol you ass.

The audio is good enough , it wont blow you away but its more than decent. Again the audio will not be very loud depending on the ohm's of the headphones your using. I am using 32 ohm ATH AD700s.
And this is DVD only, I dont have any bluray disks to try out.
Also when playing a dvd I cannot change volume or access any settings.

I really wanna get on the store and download my Resogun
PAULINK
I microwave steaks.
What do you mean? It only works in supported apps and for voice chat on the main menu.
You can hold the PS Button on the controller to bring up an option to turn the system off.
It's what I did and i'm fine.

Yup thanks, worked for me too.
Now if only Sony would accept my credit card info I could sign up to Music unlimited.

Has anyone figured out where in the PSN store you go to see the things you've bought/downloaded before?
I put a bunch off codes in the online web store for preorder goodies and I don't know if they downloaded automatically or if I need to do it. Thanks.
