Can you take off the real name stuff?, all I see is PSN IDs on my feed...

I probably need to call Sony?, I want to see my PS ID in my Feed not my "name"...

I went to Walmart today to cash in on that pre-black Friday deal and picked up Killzone Shadow Fall.

The lady there asked if I was having any problems with my PS4. I said no, and she said that most of the PS4s that they have sold have been returned due to hardware problems.

I thought there weren't that many issues?
 
there seems to be a bug or some of the uploads not showing when you click to upload.

this is what i see in the storage management

this is what i see in the upload video instead.

i assume this is what people may have mentioned about not recording the last 15 minutes or showing the old one

Sony should allow OPTION button in the storage management to push to upload as well when not using share button.

Something you have to wonder about is how many people bought a PS4 and brought it home to a TV that doesn't have any HDMI support? I could see someone returning a console, and that being a "hardware" problem.

I was wrong about NBA 2k's install time when I said it was around 2 1/2-3 minutes. Since I got a replacement PS4 I have to reinstall everything obviously so I timed NBA this time. Took exactly 59 seconds to fully install all 50gb.

Very impressive PS4.

There isn't many issues. A guy here that works for a store only had 1 return out of 800 and that was due to the customer dropping it. Sounds like a very strange comment for her to make unless there was something in particular up with their batch.

Looks to me like Storage Management is sorted by name and Upload Video is sorted by date. I'm not seeing anything missing.
 
Has anybody seen this ?

Thing is, this is Wednesday afternoon. The PS4 launched at midnight Nov. 15, which was a Friday. Chiu had classes to attend on Thursday, and didn't bring a partner to hold his spot in the queue. "It was that evening when I was heading home that I was fully prepared to surrender my spot in line," he said, "because I couldn't do the thing where we line up outside on the sidewalk when we're in November and things are approaching winter temperatures."P

No problem. Sony said they'd save his space in line. "Sony was unbelievably gracious in letting me head home for the night and keeping my spot in line. I am eternally grateful for this.," Chiu said.P

The campout was no hardship tour, for Chiu or anyone else. First of all, it was catered. I mean where else but New York will someone give you free food for sitting on a sidewalk. Others in the line behind Chiu were from out of town, and Sony put them up at the hotel. "How awesome is that?" Chiu said.P

Damn sony put the out of towners up at the hotel lol, nice perks of camping.

Nah that's one I decided to pass on. I just mentioned NBA because it seems like all of the complaints about it taking forever to install were due to people playing the quick game while it did it in the background. On the dashboard it's insanely fast for all 6 games that I have so far. It's really impressive because when I heard every game was going to have mandatory installation I was worried about sitting around for 20 minutes before each game.

i already went down the full list. i can't even find the NFS video because i wanted to upload the install video. no video show the same elapsed time.0


EDIT: Found out why

the 4 videos never got tagged into NFS. so it's in OTHERS.
just noticed the name of the videos. i guess if people have issue check that folder.

Had some issues for the first time today.

Playing NFSR.

I took a couple videos, and tried to edit them, and the editor kept crashing out when I was done previewing a clip.

So I went back to playing. At one point the framerate slowed to a crawl. A bit later, the game jerked me out suddenly into a loading screen, and I started again somewhere else on the map.

A bit later the game crashed all together.

Anybody having an issue with the DS4 where the game thinks the right stick is pointing down? I'm playing BF4 and every so often my guy will just hard aim straight to the ground.

4 fucking hours to download AC4's 144MB patch. Anyone else getting speeds like this?

Happens to me all the time. I have to keep running the "internet test" and that'll kick start it to my normal speed. Then it'll slow to a crawl until I do the test again.

My speeds seem to be pretty normal even though I've never seen the speed on the connection test above 7mb/s even though I get 10. My problem is half the network features on the dashboard will randomly choose to not load for a while, including the PS store. It keeps me online from what I can tell since my friends can still see me and I even had a download that was still going, but I can't figure out what's causing it.

Maybe try turning the controller off and on?

Thanks. I tried that last time it happened and it didn't fix it. Pretty random too. It might be the stick though because now that I'm thinking about it when my wife and I were playing Need for Speed the game would jerk into rearview and I think that's down on the right stick as well. Sucks!

I can close the NBA 2K14 "app" while it's installing, right? I'm in the quick game it does while it runs the full install, and I want to back out so it finishes faster.

So they include a headset with every PS4 yet online is still a complete wasteland for voice communication. Havent heard a single person speak in BF4 in two hours.

I have had that happen too but in Killzone. It always seems to happen when you shoot those blue barrels and it points up, not down. unless this is supposed to be apart of the game it sounds like the same thing is happening.

I can't overstate how happy I am with this console. It looks great, the controller feels great, and CoD, KZ, and Resogun are a blast. I can't wait for the first party titles down the road...

It really would have helped if the mic they included wasn't such a piece of shit. They really skimped out on that, not even a mic of the same quality that the 360 had or the XB1 has in the box.

I just learned that my friend, who's on PS3 and doesn't have a PS4, has seen me as "offline" on PSN since the PS4 launch day (I haven't launcher my PS3 since I got the PS4)...

Anybody seen that? Is there a way to fix it?

Anyone get a bad DS4??

Like my left stick makes a squicky noise when I move it slowly. Say im in BF4 I crouch and then press lightly on the left stick to move slowly. Then the stick makes a squicky noise which is gonna piss the hell out of me because its the one stick that gets used the most. No way Im gonna deal with that for the next few years.

So you think I can send it back to Sony to get a replacement? It doesnt affect the games but it annoys me thats a brand new control, barely ~20 hours used and it sounds like its been used for a few years already. WTF mayne.

Wow, Sony paid for people's rooms at The Standard? That's almost the price of a PS4, per night. I'm sure they got a discount, but still.
 
What is the early verdict on Remote Play with the Vita?

With a 2 year old that always wants to watch Dora or Barney, it seems to make a lot of sense to me.
 
Double tap the share button to manually set a start point for a 15 minute recording. After starting a recording, single tap to end recording.

If you just press the share button once, it SHOULD have your previous 15 minutes already there though people are reporting glitches.

Finally, long hold the share button and release to take a screenshot.
Wny the hell wasn't this included in the start up or setup tutorial? Thank you.

Okay, I'm posting this link here because I don't have the power to create threads, i don't think.
But this has really peaked my interest.
This video is another console comparison video, but this one stands out from the rest.
Mainly because of the section when demonstrating the time each console takes to start up from their respective standby modes.

In this video the PS4 starts up at an extremely fast rate!
I have a PS4 and mine does not start up out of standby this fast.
Can anyone clarify to me why that is? Does yours start up as fast as the one in the video?
Start at point 9:07 in the video and tell me what you think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHEjdTn7LAQ#t=586

It does this for me but only if I turn it on relatively soon after I put it in standby. If I leave it on for an extended period, it boots up from standby just like a cold boot (or at least, more akin to it).

when you are in standby and PS4 is working (downloading/installing/updating), it is really quick.

When you are in standby and PS4 is doing nothing, it has to start OS all over again and it takes 20s.

or this.
