How are you guys liking the triggers? Are they similar in feeling to the Xbox 360's?

To me in design they seem similar to the PS3 triggers. However, there is a lip now which makes the triggers extremely easy to access. The PS3 triggers are the worst triggers in existence. That lip makes a huge difference and the PS4 triggers are great. I'd say there is a little more resistance to the PS4 triggers vs XBox 360.
 
Hot damn this system is everything I had hoped for. Gorgeous as hell in the living room standing Vertical. I am maybe 5ft away and cannot hear it at all. Whisper quiet. The UI is fast as hell and effective. And fuck me this controller is PERFECT.

Me and RESOGUN will be getting a lot of time together and picked up Black Flag. Also went ahead and got Flower with my 10$ PSN.

Fuck this system ROCKS.

What is with these crazy long install times? I have the digital bf4 and it's going to take hours before it finishes installing. It's nice that I can play single player while it does it, but as far as I can tell it doesn't install while in standby mode.

It is actually downloading, I don't know why it says installing, but it is downloading the rest of the game.

That makes sense. I don't like how it shows up as complete in my download manager, and I don't like that it didn't finish while in standby mode.

Thanks for the response! Back to Resogun for now!

The Black Panther. I like that.
 
I assume the fan noise is perfectly normal when playing a game like killzone?

It's not too bad, but definitely noticeable. Seems louder than my PS3 slim. Also, blows pretty hot out of the unit, but the unit itself is cool to the touch.

So on the PS4, Vita and the PS App, you seem to be able to view everything that your friends are doing on all four platforms you can sign into PSN from.

It's the PS3 that is limited. Friends on PS4 and Vita don't even appear online from the PS3. I'm assuming this is because it's the oldest of the three and there's some kind of limitation preventing them from updating it.

Does this sound right?

you got it

So did the ps3 have a flash plug-in? I was under the impression that it didn't but I went to go continue a series my gf and I had been watching on the ps3 and the 4 told us nope because of flash.

Quoting a question I had from earlier today with a supplement of when will we get flash? :(
 
How do I tell if my PS+ code worked? The PS+ games have a strikethrough over the price and "free" next to a + icon, but I'm not sure if that means "hey it'd be free if you were a member" or "it's free"

I'm sure this has been mentioned a few times but if anyone else was looking for the option to bitstream audio *for blurays* you use the Settings menu while in a bluray movie, not the main audio settings for the console.

And man they can not release a BD/DVD remote fast enough for this thing.

Does anyone know if a PS4 bought in USA will work in the UAE?

I know its not region locked, but I should be getting mine by the weekend and was wondering if there would be any hassle/problems with activating the console/signing in with a UAE PSN id?

Is anyone on Gaf currently using the console in Dubai?

I've noticed it's quieter and cooler when horizontal (probably since it's sitting on a vent when vertical), so that's an option to cut down on it a little if you have it vertical.

Not as good, but way better than PS3.

I remember giving up on Resistance after an hour because of how bad the controller is for shooters.
The same-axis analog sticks is still a huge transition though.
