Anyone else's left stick kind of feels like it's getting caught on something when you tilt it down? It's kind of annoying and distracting me when I play.

It happened on and off last night while playing Killzone to my right stick. Just got done playing for 4 hours straight and the stick worked like a dream. *shrugs*

Music unlimited trial for someone who needs it (I've already used the service, so it won't let me do it again).

Is this a deal? Been posted yet? I spotted it at Walmart a short while ago and pricematched it to Best Buy to get it for $15 after a $5 BB certificate. It hasn't been in stock at Amazon for a while for some reason...

a wise man once said "dorritos and controllers don't mix too well".

lol, no issues on my end so you might want to see if something is jammed in there like a piece of plastic from manufacturing. just a thought.

We can't change the name displayed in the What's New section right now. As you pointed out, this is definitely a database or a design issue.

Seems to extend to the Facebook Icon being used as well. I see mine in the What's New section when I disabled it as soon as I activated Facebook. Check the Icon setting, "Use Facebook Icon" is unchecked, my PSN Avatar is chosen, still shows the meh FB icon. More than a bit annoying. =(

Have you tried pulling the stick up and moving it to see if it was something stuck?

Yeah I pulled it up then pushed it forward and used a can of air to blow underneath, didn't seem to help. I guess I'll just try to get used to it. It's not like it's stopping the controller from working, it's just triggering the neurotic part of me that's bothered by little things like this.

AC4 says it requires 11mb HDD space? Am I missing something here
I thought all games require 39-49gb install?

How is the download list on PS4? Can you sort through by full games, demos etc.?

There is no download list on the PS4
You have to go to the website and log into their download list to get the PS4 stuff you had.

Library also shows what you downloaded except for DLC.

maybe that means for sales, because its like 40 gigs or so

Not sure if this is the right place but where does it actually say the PS4's output is 1080p? A friend of mine is insistent that the PS4's resolution is 1600x900...no idea where he got that from though.
 
Kinda disappointed I couldn't log in to here on the PS4 Web Browser. Every time I entered my username I couldn't click on the password to enter it

For BF4 it's 900P, for every other game it's 1080p I believe

You do realize it depends on the content you're watching/playing right?

PS4 can upscale any content to 1080p but almost all games are 1080p native anyways

Has anybody else's What's New section not updated in like five days? I refresh it and it still doesn't update.

Its annoying.

Mine updates but it's buggy. Like at noon today it said I played Knack, which is accurate, but then at 2pm it had another entry for me playing Knack even though I hadn't stopped playing yet. It's done that a few times over this past week.

Library does show DLC. If you look at each game it will tell you how many add ons. You don't download individual add ons anymore. It's all or nothing.

The system UI is 1080p, most games are native 1080p. Developers can determine what their game will run at, like Assassin's Creed 4 just got a patch to run 1080p native.

For those of us who are sad and without a PS4, good news! Best Buy should have some for sunday morning, they are even opening up early at 8am on sunday. They will be selling any not picked up preordered systems and additional stock that they got in. Get there early!

Also read that Toys R Us will also be putting out stock before black friday, most likely on sunday. Advise that you call first.

Any detailed impressions of your games somewhere?

:p

Signing out on the PlayStation App fixed this issue for me

That's an excellent deal. I have that stand backordered from Amazon for $25. Might have to mosey on over to Best Buy and grab one this weekend.

I haven't really played much besides Knack and AC4. The former is pretty fun despite its linearity and lack of diversity but the latter is the definition of a chore. I am really struggling to keep going, everyone on here thinks it's some amazing redemption of the series but I see the same problems that are in every AC game. It's no better than 3 was.

It depends on the developers. Seeing it's third party, that haven't utilized game installs like first party games such as Killzone and Knack.

I bought the Season Pass for Killzone just now, but it's not in my Downloads list. Is it a really small file? Could it have been downloaded quick?

Nothing on the Season Pass is available now, so I bet it's a small file that just says "Season Pass: ON." Then when the DLC rolls out, that stuff will appear in your Downloads list.
