PS4 Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

Question: Can I use my Asian PSN account and buy the PSN+ special on US Amazon?

It might not work. I use a US account and bought the Japanese version of Killzone: Mercenary (which has full English). I tried to redeem the included code for the online pass, but was unable to. Seems in my case, at least, there is region lock. US Amazon sells codes for games/PS+ for the US accounts, so I'd imagine those are region locked.

For those of you still trying to find a PS4...

Walmart DOES have PS4s in stock right now, but we can't sell or say that we do. They're hoarding them until Black Friday. So if you make a big enough hassle the manager might cave and sell one to please the customer. Highly unlikely, but hey, you never know.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
Ok so either I'm blind, or Sony doesn't have a demo section on the PSN store. If it's the latter...wtf Sony!?

It would be the biggest waste of space to put a page for a category that has 2 objects in it. Just watch whatever it is on Twitch. Publishers are going to stop doing demos. It negatively impacts sales, takes precious development time, and will hopefully be rendered useless by Gaikai.

So what did you guys and gals spend your $10 SEN credit on?

Thanks for the reminder :p Probably spend it on Tearaway for my vita or maybe even put it towards the DCUO DLC pack.

Flower. Never played it on PS3, no regrets.

Ah this is a great idea. I never played it on ps3 either, might have to do this..

Same here. I also can't find the option to manually turn them off.

I'm not entirely sure you can without pausing what you're watching on Netflix. I just have it auto turn-off when I dont touch it for 10 minutes.

Can anyone show me a video of a person replying to a psn message whilst playing a game please or accepting a friend request? I'd like to know how fast one can reply to a msg.

Ah ok , thanks! The Amazon 29.99 usd for 1 year of PSN+ is really a good deal!

I'm sure this has already been answered but does this headset work with the PS4:

If they have a 3.5mm jack cable they'll work (like the Pulse Elite does), otherwise no. The wireless USB functionality will be patched in at a later date.

In line at Best Buy getting one, they have 15-20 and handed out tickets. I just hope I don't open up a dead system when I get home...

Coincidence! I too happen to have ended up in a Best Buy line, and now I have a PS4. Wasn't even thinking about it, but while on the way to get gas I saw that BB was unusually busy at this hour, so I checked it out.

Quite fortuitous, I would say.

"Honey how much did filling up the tank cost?"

"About $480."

Flower for me since it was 6.99$ but will also pick up Sound Shapes soon. My daughter will adore that one. She already loves watching me play Res0gun, Knack and Flower.

I'm not sure how wide spread it is, but my Best Buy received a good amount of PS4s in. It seems to be the same for the district I'm in.
 
For anyone who said their 30 day music unlimited trial didint work. I went in to the app to buy a $5 subscription and the 30 day trial was just sitting there and I used it.

One snag though. I had to choose the $5 SUB first then click on proceed to checkout. Once I hit circle to go back the 30 day trial showed up.
 
Alright, so I can't decide and I need help gaf.
I have Battlefield 4 and I haven't opened it yet because I have another week of exams, so I haven't oepened my ''big'' yet. I can really only afford this one game right now as a broke college student who also has to pay most an internet bill after just dropping $500. I'm torn, do I keep Battlefield 4 or do return it unopened for Need For Speed. If you could only chose one, which would you choose? Also, resogun is damn rad.
 
I am from the UK and there isn't a Netflix app on day one here, so I have a question.
If I use my US PSN account I should be able to download / is Netflix, right?

BF4 is a bit of a mess right now, but when they get it ironed out it seems like it will be fantastic. NFS has some weird choices about online racing and while it's a good racer, it's moving in a direction I don't necessarily like.

Had a scare there. My power went out for <1 minute. I went to turn my ps4 on again and it would just beep once and do nothing. Holding be ps button down on the controller got it on with a message saying don't just unplug your system when on standby you can corrupt files :-x

Just read that Beck does some of the music. Sold.

I'm literally playing through it again to Platinum it and this has to be one of the most criminally underrated soundtracks I've ever heard in a game. Beck's songs are great, but so are the rest of the music compositions. So good.

Fyi, someone else already used up the PS+ code. :( I was really hoping to get a nice jump on my PS+ membership before I get the PS4.
 
Hey guys any sells on psn plus right now? Store or online?

Just got lucky and grabbed my ps4 from best buy. But I'm taking back my cod/fifa to get them at wallmart and save 20 bucks. Would like to put it towards one year of plus!!!

The first part, I agree with but that would be temporary, eventually it would get filled up.

The second part? No, just no. The FIFA 14 demo convinced me to get the game.
