Did you try selecting it in the sound and screen option in the settings menu? You can change resolution there, although if it only lists 1080i then you might be stuck.

yes, that's what annoys me, I can't select it there when i connect it throught the switch.

And if i connect it directly i can set it to 1080p, but when i connect it back to the switch it changes back to automatic and 1080i (with 1080p greyed out). The switch works perfectly fine for other 1080p devices like the other consoles and a blu ray player, so that's not the problem.

No it doesn't. You won't get the 1080p patch but it will still play and it still looks good even without it. You will also get trophies, they just won't sync with the online database until you are able to connect again.

EDIT: Apparently someone said the patch will still download. If so, that's cool. But make sure to go to the notifications window and apply the patch when it is done. There is probably a setting to do it automatically but I think you have to do it manually with the default settings. (or maybe you always do? I'm not sure)

You don't need to apply it. It'll automatically install the next time you launch the game. If you're in a hurry, just close the application and start it again.

I tried to get the PS+ trial earlier and got as far as entering my card details/address etc but wouldn't confirm. Haven't used + before.

Now I'm back on, I don't have the option to redeem the trial anymore but my account isn't + either. I'm hoping its just a PSN under load thing, please don't tell me I lost out on my free trial.

Nope. I bought Battlefield 4 on ps3 last night and trying to redeem code to get ps4 version for $10 and it's not letting me. Kicks me to home screen also. Tried on psn store website but it says code is no longer valid or incorrect...

Pretty sure my PS4 is faulty, fan kicks in very loud when playing games. Almost to the level of the 360, and that's with the disc not spinning, the fan is just that loud.

PSN is....kind of working. I got the store to load up and went to put my PS+ code in and every time I hit Ok it auto kicks me back to whatever game is first in my recently played list. Still can't get my trophy list to load or sync either.

Weird, I can get my trophies to sync, but when I try to load the store it just sits at the blue screen.

Uh, does anyone know where to go on PS4 to see how much time you have left on your PS+ sub? I went into the Services List in Account Management and it says, "No content was found."

That's how it normally is for me with the store. When I first turn my PS4 on it'll always work but after about 20 minutes and when I start playing something it almost never loads past that blue screen when I tab out. I seem to be the only one who has that problem on a routine basis though.

My PS4 (USA) does that when I'm playing while downloading. It usually quiets down, though I'm still debating sending it in. Other than that it works great.

Wow what a tense day, I booked a day off and Amazon UK had me waiting until 18:00, but I don't care because the Mega Bundle was worth the wait especially for £429.

I have to say I am blown away by how slick the whole startup process was, and by the time I finished, the update had already downloaded and was. Ready for updating, which again took a couple of minutes.

Whilst I couldn't sign into PSN, I put Killzone in and again wasvery impressed with the speed of the install, it feels like going back in time to cartridges, just with a small delay.

It really is night and day with how quickly PS4 gets you into the games.

I wasn't sure about the controller change when it was first revealed, I always liked the dualshock despite the triggers, but wow does the PS4 controller feel fantastic. I was actually kind of shocked at how small the thumbs sticks are, to me they feel like enlarged Vita sticks which I love.

Killzone... How clean is the image quality, I wasn't expecting it to be so good looking, videos just don't do it justice. Those evil glowing red eyes, and the lighting is pretty darn good.

I am very pleased and relieved that my PS4 is quiet, especially as my launch PS3 Fat is like a jet engine sometimes, but I can forgive it for lasting so long. :)

I have Assassins Creed, NBA 2K14, Reston, Flower and War Thunder to keep me going for a while, and can't wait for Driveclub and Infamous SS.

Greatness has arrived!

I'm really entranced by my PS4!
Killzone is beautiful, graphically amazing! Also very nice and fun to play! Gorgeous!
In addition to detail, wonderful textures, light effects, what amazed me is the cleanliness graphics of these games! Crazy!

FIFA 14 for the lovers of football games is fantastic!
Resogun is too gorgeous!
Playroom lot of fun!
Later I'll try the rest (ACIV, NFS Rivals, Battlefield 4 and Knack)! But I'm really happy for now, PS4 is a jewel!


I Love my PS4!!! :)

I've just finished downloading resogun and it says I cannot start the application, only users who hold a licence for this application can start it... What??

Edit: Just seen you can restore licences in settings, works now! :)

We are aware that users are experiencing some disruption to the PSN service. To minimise the inconvenience we have suspended the “redeem voucher” functionality whilst we investigate further. Unfortunately this means that money cards, product vouchers, PlayStation Plus vouchers, PS3-PS4 upgrade vouchers and any other vouchers for digital content are not redeemable at this stage. Other PSN features such as log-in, online multi-player gaming, PlayStation Plus trial, PS Store (excluding voucher redemption), trophies, messages, friends etc. are all available.

We apologies and will provide an update to this announcement soon.

Quick Tip! for anyone without PSN+ there's a 14 day trial available to accept in the PSN store, no codes needed

Edit: THIS MEANS FREE COPIES OF RESOGUN AND CONTRAST FOR ALL!

So, this logging into PSN thing isn't going too well. Now I can't even back out of the screen with the spinning circle, there's no O button prompt. What do I do?

I'm on PSN atm, it's mad slow but it works

can't redeem PS+ code though, kicks me back to home screen after entering it, is there any way I can redeem that damn code atm?

Head tracking in war thunder works pretty well. So does the trackpad as an alternative for mouse cursor movement. I would like to see an option to use the gyro though - I think that may be more natural for tracking an enemy movement smoothly

IS it normal that I cant:

Log in to my account ( says incorrect password)

Change my password at all ( says incorrect information)

Just seems to not recognise me at all, despite me being online on PSN like less than 24 hours ago... ( and I used the same password then too and it worked)

Apologies if this has been discussed, but was the 1.51 update preinstalled on EU PS4s? My started installing it as soon as I turned it on, no way it could have downloaded that fast on my connection.

This is some bullshit. Apparently, I don't have PS+ anymore because Ghosts just kicked me out of MP saying I need it to play. I go to my profile and there's a big ass PS+ symbol beside my name. Fucking trash servers.

I got it! Set up and updated (didn't bother using USB stick, was fast on PSN). Now it seems to be a bit iffy with my WiFi (doesn't help that my internet at home is going to be spotty until next week) and it isn't logging into PSN...

Also my Amazon delivery of AC4 hasn't arrived. Why do Amazon insist on using Royal Mail?

Me and my PS4 are best friends. Warframe, Flower, Contrast and Resogun have all been tried. The downloading and installing is so fucking nice. PSN is fast and the installations are seamless. Really impressed.
