Anyone else notice their "Real Name" not updating?
Previously I was HR Paperstacks. I changed it to Handsome Joe a few days ago. Whenever I earn a trophy it still reads HR Paperstacks has earned a trophy in * on trophies I haved earned after the name change

There's one that rocketfish released for the PS4 at Best Buy, don't know how good it is, but here's the link.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketf...&cmp=RMX&ky=28oPyDFv0KHcisHwQcZfO0qg5PUU1VPjs
In addition to the rocketfish headset, Gamestop is selling a headset that is even more similar to the original Xbox 360 one. It's by dreamgear called a broadcaster headset for $20.
No idea about quality on either of these sets but the dreamgear one has the adjustable mic boom that extends around toward your mouth and the rocketfish has a short stub.

Idk why people are saying this. I didnt have to put in mine.
Just a couple of questions if anyone knows the answers would be appreciated 
1. If I use my main UK account which has PS Plus if I create/use sub accounts from other regions of the world do they all have access to PS Plus ? Also, if I was to buy a digital download of Battlefield 4 on a US profile would I be ok to play it online with my UK main account ? (due to the fact you need PS Plus now for online)
2. For Vita remote play, if I buy a PS4 digital game from another region store (US again as an example) can I stream to my Vita under my main UK account ?
Just a few things I wasn't sure of so if anyone can answer that would great

everyone on your main PS4 will have access for everything. Not sure about remote play.
sorry for the late reply but this allows developers to implement Interactive options for viewers on Twitch/Ustream. This can be multi choice... so for example, to help the player out (health, ammo) or if the dev wants to, use it to let the viewers choose what level to play next in Killzone.

Finally streaming a new game: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
I'm on Act 4 right now. Hopefully I'll beat this before lunch.

It chooses for you. Enable direct connect and then as long as you're in the physical range of the PS4, it will use the direct connection.

Wow, I can see that type of interactive functionality exploding with potential. I like the sound of that.
Is this the thing Cerny mentioned in Feb about " even jumping into someone's game and helping them out " ( totally read that back in Cerny's voice btw ..... odd ... )
Did not know they were thinking about adding dev options like being able to send someone assistance over the interact button or have viewers help you out with what they want to see lol. Thats awesome.

Wow, Just noticed something last night. Does the PS4 have RF or IR sensors of some kind or something?
I notice a lot of people complaining or whining about the lack of a PS4 remote, like a BlueRay remote. I was messing around with my PS4 last night and my Samsung TV Remote will control it. I didn't do anything to the remote, or enter any codes. The only thing my remote is set up to control is my TV and my Direct TV box.
I could use the arrows on my remote to navigate the OS, I could use the RETURN button to go back, the select button to select something. It worked perfectly. I didn't try to use it to control a BluRay yet, but I couldn't believe it worked
This story says you cannot use your IR remote to control it, http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7-57611849-221/confirmed-ps4-wont-work-with-ir-remote-controls/
I dont know how my Samsung Remote works, but it was controlling it no problem. Could this be something to do with allowing HDMI controls/CEC/Anynet or something?
I could be late to the party, but this was something I had never heard of yet.

Wow yeah I have never heard of this before either. Guess I will have to try it out TODAY when my PS4 arrives finally! Hoooyaaaa
It's really handy, family friendly too. =)
how is it compared to previous Lego games on PS360? I'm hoping on par with PC which looks nice enough.

Seems like it's as good as you get minus supersampling on PC.

So, the 'charts' website that's banned has claimed knowledge of how retail sales for PS4 was in the past 2 days.
Just thought I threw it out there to see how their guesstimation is.

Is it just me or is the PS4 a lint/dust magnet? Anyone got any cleaning tips?

Cover it with dryer sheets
War thunder is coming at the end of the month. Super hyped for that one.
Planetside 2? Hopefully that is january at the latest. I think outlast is february, which i'm super excited for. Nothing in major in december i don't think? There will be a PS+ offering, but not sure what? Don't starve? Binding of issac?
Isaac definitely won't be a PS+ offering. And it's probably coming after Jan 2014.
I've been wondering where we can find larger versions of those clear plastic adhesivescreen protector sheets to cover the glossy part of the ps4, similar to those things that cover the Dualshock 4's d-pad and button pad when you first take it out of the box.
Forgot all about Planetside 2. Awesome! I just figure with my limited game time to begin with I'll be satiated plenty by PS+ and F2P stuff this time around, and only need to pickup the few big retail games I can't wait for. This is going to be the most reasonable gen financially ever for me!
Sorry if this has been discussed already but I think my problem is fairly common: I would like to continue using my PSN account but it's a sub account on the PS3. I read in the FAQ that it can't be "upgraded" to a master account. That sucks, but ok, I can deal with it.
Now my problem: what should I do with the master account ? Should I create it on the PS4 ? How did you do ?

Does anyone have both KZ:SF and BF4? I'm playing BF:4 and the Single player isn't really grabbing me and what I've seen of KZ actually looks pretty cool. But I'm mostly wondering about MP. Which one has the better experience overall?
Keep in mind I haven't tried BF multiplayer yet. For some reason, I never really dive into that until I finish the campaign... it's kind of a thing.

count me as one of the new ps4 owners that just got his console imported to KSA.
few things to note.
my KSA account doesn't have any PS store. the icon is there, but when you click on it. it says service isn't available in this region.
i tried to put my US account in. and it works fine.
however. i couldn't get any game on COD whatever its my US account or KSA account which i find it weird. it connects to the server i think. then when i try to find a team deathmatch game .10 seconds and then it kicks me out.
i am trying BF4 as we speak but its installing the full game. i will report back if BF4 works.
otherwise the system is useless online until it launch in Europe heh " since for some reasons middle east is tied to europe"

When was this? I already forgot.
I was so excited to give them my money I wiped it out of my memory.

Try un-linking then re-linking your FB account.

If you have the name linked in the settings of the system itself then it will probably always show up. It's a separate thing than the facebook linking.
