Has anyone else's "What's New" section been updated at all today? It seems like nothing is showing up under the "What's New" section.
Same here, seems to be related to PSN's shoddy availability since yesterday. They may have disabled it on their end temporarily to free up more overall bandwidth or something?

So I'm trying to play Blacklight and it tells me I can't sign in. Strange, because I can play Warframe. Warframes controls don't work right on remote play though.

Ah okay. You might be right.
Also, the Live from Playstation is awesome but I would live some filters. Maybe search only friends? Maybe a notification of when your friend starts streaming?
I am wondering if they have a new edition of the Pulse headset coming soon as well, paritucarly since they use the language "currently available" when describing the ones that don't work with PS4 yet... it has been over a year since the last model.
What's new doesn't work for me anymore and I can't see the details page for a game (where you press down on a game and get a bunch of info including friends activity, dlc, etc). Anyone else experience that too?
They are not working for me either.

I've got an issue with Netflix. I'll try to watch Fairytail and it keeps giving me Japanese voices after I change it and quit. I'll fix it, watch the anime and quit. Then it's back to Japanese voices when I turn it on again. I never had this issue on my ps3.
Btw, how is the Crunchyroll app?

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before (apologies if it has). I tested my Astro A40's (2013 edition) just plugged right into the bottom of the controller, no mixamp, just the one cable, and it worked pretty good (just stereo sound no dolby 7.1, but still). I even ran a test stream on twitch to see if the mic worked and it did! Pretty nice that I don't have to re-hookup my mixamp everytime I want to go from PC to PS4. So, just a heads up to any other Astro A40 owners out there.

I find the disc drive to be annoyingly loud. Not a big deal for me being I plan to go all digital outside of Killzone (just wanted one game to play on launch night, didn't trust the Sony severs). Out side of that its not to bad. No rocking or rattling on my unit.

Is Fifa the only demo in the store currently?

Anyone know how/why I can't connect my phone app to PS4?
My phone is set and connected to my PSN account (Phone is Verizon Galaxy S3)
My PS4 is wired directly to my router.
My phone is connected to my home wi-fi (same router PS4 is plugged into)
No matter how many times I refresh the PS4 icon it will not appear on my phone app so I can punch in the code in the add-device menu.

Is syncing trophies actually working for anyone? I get NP-32157-8 at 25% every time I try to sync.
Is it just PSN being shitty?

That sounds like a Netflix issue to me. I get screwy happenings all of the time on Netflix. One time the subtitles were from an entirely different show. Really threw me off for a second.

What game should I get next? Killzone or need for speed?

Need for Speed is really good. I would get that, the online is really good.

Thanks.
One thing I don't see much celebrating about is the fact we all got so many free games at launch. Besides Contrast and Resogun for Playstation plus subscribers we got DC Universe, Blacklight and Warframe. Combine that with the sales we all enjoyed with a bonus 10 bucks from Sony and we are a bit spoiled.
I was able to sync fine like an hour ago, haven't tried since then.
Thanks, saw this link while browsing gaf on the PS4, figured I'd give it a shot. Don't know if it's generally known, but the PSN webstore works in the PS4's browser surprisingly well.
The Crunchyroll app is exactly the same as the PS3 one, except it scrolls through lists faster. Haven't managed to crash it yet, so maybe not exactly the same.

I get 52 down and 12 up on PC and 7 down and 2 up on PS4. Maybe PSN limits bandwidth somewhat.

Where is the speed test option on PS4?

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Downloaded Flower from PSN, noticed that it was listed 3 times in the "would you like to download Flower now" page and I backed out of it. Resogun worked perfectly, but I went into my library and I saw Flower with an arrow on it (signifying it still needed to be downloaded, I guess) but whenever I clicked on it, it would just take me back to the home page of the UI. I finally somehow got it to work by tapping the home button where it took me to a content page with a download option but it wouldn't show me what it was for. I clicked the download and it said Flower was added to my downloads.
I'm thinking that's a bug.

Just sent the following email to my favorite playstation podcast. Maybe ya'll have some guidance for me.

So does anyone know what ports to open for PSN?
are you sure? I'm pretty sure in the notifications I've seen an option for when friends come online. I'm pretty sure I saw it in some streams too.
Really? That's awesome! I'll take a look in the settings, I must have missed it.

Kind of Glad I'm getting my PS4 a week late.
Hopefully, Sony would fix all the issues by then so my experience is smooth as butter.

This streaming is a thing of beauty. I love watching others play, and got to see Sound Shapes for the first time. +1 sale on that!
Sony recently said you can upgrade a sub account to a master account (as in the feature was added a week or two ago). Not sure how to do that though.

Is anyone else just dying to see how the next horror game uses the DS4 speaker? Imagine a game like Amnesia: Dark Descent making use of the controller speaker.

It's incredible. I only wish you could have an option where you could disable if the person is on camera/microphone and just watch pure gameplay.

Would love if this was true, sadly I think the story was debunked and taken off whatever site had hosted it

If I import knack and Killzone from overseas, will I be able to play it online here, or does it come with a network pass? Thanks.
EdReedFan20

Is there no way to pause a download like you could on PS3? I think that's strange, if so.
There are no network passes for PS4 games. You will need to be a PS Plus member though.
Actually sorry, I just checked again its "Friend Requests". Must have seen friend requests and messages in the streams and confused it for online offline message. Kinda weird for it to be missing since both Vita and PS3 have it.
Although on those I try turn them off (At least on vita)
I got more than that thanks to cross-buying. Free Flower and Sound Shape for me.

The same is happening with me with Sound Shapes so I'd say it's a PSN bug.

Oh that's right no network passes. But I can still play it online with ps+ in Australia if I import overseas! right? ( just trying to be sure)

Welp. Loving my PS4 immensely with only one little niggling issue. I downloaded Sound Shapes and Blacklight Retribution yesterday (along with the other Plus bonuses) and neither of these two games are loading.
I know that there was issues with both games whilst downloading and Sound Shapes was listed as corrupted (I guess due to PSN's connection issues). I deleted it and re-downloaded it but no dice. It just sits idle at the title screen. I also deleted Blacklight.
After a bit of thought, I decided that, this early on, i would just bite the bullet and reinitialize my unit. I uploaded all of my current game saves to cloud storage beforehand. Currently waiting for the process to finish. Glad that I did this now after only having it for two days otherwise it would have taken several hours.

I'm loving my PS4 so far, lots of little hiccups but nothing I didn't expect when buying a system at launch. My main problem isn't a problem with the system but with the fact that most of my friends haven't gotten PS4s yet and probably won't be able to until next year...
