If you have a Sony or Samsung TV, you can use your TV remote via BraviaSync. That's the ideal solution, imho.
So far it seems to be alright but I'm only at the updating firmware part. It's as slow as it was on PS3 :lol
But yeah it booted up fine as far as I can tell and hopefully I won't get any nasty surprises once I get everything set up.

Any idea how to redownload the freefall map? I did the same thing as you and accidentally cancelled the download. It does seem like Xbox's Quality of Life is a lot better, in regards to online and digital management. Oh, well, I am still very much in love with this system!

When I first set the console up, I entered letter A as my 1st name and letter B as my last name. Thought I was being clever, and that when I choose on the next step to just use my PSN ID for displaying, I'd never see that A B again.
Right now, every single thing I do on the console shows up in my activity as A B has done this or that. I've even changed that A B to be something more meaningful now (my PSN handle + shortened handle) but it STILL keeps showing A B everywhere even for new recent activity while it uses that new changed name for other things in the UI.
What can I do to get rid of this A B crap?

You do it from the settings screen. It's an obviously named option that lets you manage what's saved on the disk, but I can't remember the exact name now.

Anyone know of a special reason why my PS4 wouldn't see my N network? Does it not support N?
is your N network 5GHZ only? PS4 only supports 2.4GHZ
Thanks!

So I was supposed to get my PS4 on friday but UPS for whatever reason didn't deliver it...so I had to wait till today to go pick it up.
Wasn't happy with the look of that.
There was a dent in the actual PS4 box but I set everything up and everything has been working perfectly! Having to wait until Monday bothered me but the fact that I was also worried I had a bad console bothered me even more. I was going crazy.
I'm glad all is well and I'm ready to dive into Resogun!

Even BF4 campaign is messy before the patch is installed. Got stuck in an infinite loop of the enemy helicopter shooting myself an AI characters out of the lift, followed by falling to our demise because the metal plank floor didn't spawn in quick enough.
Is the patch MP really only 600~ MB? I had read it was much larger than that.

Killzone, Knack, Lego Marvel, NBA 2k14, Assassin's Creed and Battlefield.
I don't even know what to play first. Maybe Knack.

wow what the fuck? it's 2013.
I guess I'll think about running a lan cable across my house to to this. Disappointed face is fully disappointed.
yeeeeeah it kinda sucks
Just set it up and am downloading the 1.5 update. The controller feels awesome, so much better than the DS3. The controller itself and the analog sticks are smaller than I thought they'd be. No issues so far except my wifi connection has dropped a couple times while downloading the update.
I....I think I broke my PS4. I had Codfish: Ghosts downloading from the PS3->PS4 upgrade and the 700+MB patch finished before the main 14GB file. The notification told me the patch was ready to install so I clicked on it and a screen came up saying Installing Application.
That was an hour ago and it's still on the same screen! This never happened before. I'm afraid to hit the Circle button and corrupt my PS4. Help!

If there's a 10/$ coupon inside the console, does it mean I will be able to buy AC4 digitally for 10/$ less...?

just back out. it won't install really unless you finish the big download. when big download is done. go back to the small one and it'll be fine.

I love how the d-pad directional icons/shapes in games are so hard to read instantly that they've often resorted to putting an actual arrow next to it.

Picked up my PS4 from Amazon in the mail at lunch today. Got it all hooked up and ready to go for when I get off work this afternoon. So happy that everything is working properly. Was super nervous after hearing about the DoA PS4s. Whew....
Yes! I just did this today. The coupon will add $10 to your PSN wallet, and when you buy AC:BF it will charge your credit card on file the remainder, so $49.99.

Well, that explains why I couldn't find the 5ghz channel on my router. Holy crap, Sony, holy crap.
Pretty sure Knack didn't. I just installed it and played it.

You can probably edit it in your profile settings I'm sure.

Already done it yesterday, and it started showing the newly edited name at my login screen and in most other places in the UI. However, the Recent Activity pages all still show the A B has done this or that every time I do something. So it's as if the PSn server has now remember that first name I ever entered, (or maybe it's somehow stuck in console settings?) and it won't budge, won't switch over to a newly edited name.
yeah, you have some pretty serious issues...
about the worst I can say about PSN (in the midwest) is that downloads are largely inconsistent. I downloaded Knack at about 24Mbps but then a few hours later downloaded Killzone at about 16Mbps.
however this past weekend and likely over the next week is hardly what I what use as a barometer for PSN speed quality. Huge influx of people downloading a near-mandatory day 1 patch plus every user downloading anywhere from the 2 free games to like an additional 1-10 games from PSN.

oh wow, thats annoying.
It might be inconsistent but I downloaded DC Universe at 7mb/s yesterday which is maxing out my Fios connection, in Westchester NY.

I knew I should have had the modem replaced before this got here. My connection's been randomly going out while I try to download things for months now but Brighthouse is such an amazing pain in my ass that I decided to wait until things completely shit the bed before dealing with them again.
Well...I can't download anything on PS4 without my connection dropping (on everything in the house) every few minutes. The last time it went out for a good 10 minutes too so I thought it was completely dead, which may actually be a good thing to happen since that will convince Brighthouse to get off their asses and fix this for good.
edit: I don't know what's worse, my connection or Gaf's servers. This is embarrassing performance.

Couldn't you just use one of those power system LAN solutions that uses your electrical wiring to provide a point-to-point link instead of running ethernet across your house?

lol the servers have been shit all morning for me. And yea, my sister has constant issues with Brighthouse as she lives in Florida.

Thanks. Looks like I'm issue free. Hopefully it's not a ticking time bomb.
No worries. That's how it's supposed to be.
I think Killzone had a pretty fast install time, but I'm not sure since I was playing it while it was installing it.
Isn't this just great news tho? I love it.
