You don't need it for streaming, but if you want to have a little picture-in-picture of yourself for your stream, then you need it.
Yes.
Good, because when I stream people don't need to see my ugly mug staring at them.

You need it if you want to record your live commentary and broadcast yourself to the world. You can do live streaming without it if you aren't worried about live audio/video commentary.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Share button will go to facebook to my understanding. I don't think you 'need' it for streaming but if you want to show your face in the twitch stream you'll want it. I think. I don't know too much about twitch. Just what I've been reading here.
Yes, and it really isn't in the Amazon list of eligible B2G1 offer which I completely don't understand.
Just picked up my first accessory for the PS4 at Best Buy. A carrying case from Rocketfish, as I will be lugging mine around between different homes. Includes a pocket for the Vita. here are some pics:
Came with 2 DS4 condoms and a micro-USB charger, always handy:
Was eyeing that bag as well... Not sure about the grips as I would prefer TPU over silicone. Do you happen to have a charging base for the controllers and if so do the controllers still work with the charging base with the grips on?
Ah. For those special occasions where you want to have a "Uno" moment!

What head sets are people buying ? Or using?

You can't record audio using your microphone during, or is that just unknown at the moment?
Sorry. When all the excitement was coming down with the consoles, I wasn't paying a great deal of attention.
DietRob

Should be able to, check the FAQ in the OP.
There's something about this...
Knack is being covered by the Taco Bell promotion, and I'm a fan of all three series, and there's a certain audacity about buying three FPSs for launch that I can't resist, especially because I'm going to be doing it all at once if possible (thanks Target).

Missing.
Whoa I didn't even know this existed. What's the price?

This suggests that you should be good for audio only commentary.

Why would you want that? It looks...weird. And like it might hurt as only one side is covered. I saw it at gamestop and it's $25. It looks about $25 worth of value maybe less.

Thanks. Guess I'll try to get one around Black Friday. fml

I've seen download links for unofficial mirrors but I'm too paranoid to touch those. Doesn't seem to be officially. Or I can't find it at least.

Hmm... I agree. It would be nice to get explicit confirmation that audio can be captured without video.
It's the piece of shit brand Rocketfish from Best Buy with a Sony logo slapped on it.
If you're just looking for a solid communicator, I would get the Turtle Beach one for around $20. It's basically the same mold as the one they have used for the previous generation. Very comfortable, no noise issues with surround sound going.

Throughout the thread we have gotten information that Target has a pretty huge stock and could have substantial overflows depending on location.
Also Kmart is selling PS4 to members of whatever club they have going on over there, not taking preorders.
Don't give up!
According to them, they don't have it "in stock" yet, so it's only available for pre-order there atm, which aren't eligible for the promotion.

Going to hope to get a good headset/headphones for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Any suggestion that will be nice for the PS4? Might double as just regular headsets to casually listen to music to as well.
DietRob

Thanks for the heads up but it seems odd, there are other games in that list that are only showing 'pre-order' status though. Did you contact them about this?

I want Knack, but I'm considering getting all 3 FPSs
What? Since when?

How do those condoms feel sir? Wouldn't mind picking up the blue pairJust picked up my first accessory for the PS4 at Best Buy. A carrying case from Rocketfish, as I will be lugging mine around between different homes. Includes a pocket for the Vita. here are some pics:
Came with 2 DS4 condoms and a micro-USB charger, always handy:
I hear ya. I was really considering it. But I think I'd get tired of FPS gameplay eventually, and it would suck to then only have 3 different FPSs, ya know? =)
Of course, Resogun and Outcast (is that right?) could scratch that itch as well.
The other thing I'm afraid of is that if I get all 3, I'm going to inevitably compare them, and I'll want to play them all fairly soon, so my comparison will be based on a limited time of gameplay and will therefore be shallow.
If I have all 3 FPS, I may end up gravitating to the one I'm *initially* better at, without giving the others a fair shot. Maybe. I don't know. I'm in the same boat as you all - trying to rationalize my purchases. =)
I hope you enjoy whatever you get, I intend to!
4 days!
Oh, I think I see why.
Take AC4, that doesn't come out until Tuesday, which is the day the promotion starts at Amazon. Whereas NFS has a release date of the 15th.

I've got my ps4 (#5 preorder at my local EB out of 467) waiting for midnight launch madness. Everyone watch your backs. Lol
-KZ SF
-cod ghosts
-asscreed
-nfs rivals (following week right?)
All paid.
Destiny is also preordered.
F2p = Warframe (why is the preorder goodies not available yet. The preorder I mean)

No charging base, as they weren't on sale at Best Buy. I can't find the official ones anywhere actually. But I don't see why they would interfere with a charging base.
They feel good, just like silicone. I do wish they fit the DS4 a bit tighter though. I can see where they might interfere with the triggers. I'm not sure whether I am going to use them or not. Really a freebie for me, as what I wanted was the carrying back-pack, which is nice.
DietRob
i've been begging for over 5 years.
Hmm.. Maybe. I guess we'll see I'd like NFS to be my free game.
If you do end up finding an official link mind PM'ing it to me? I don't want to have to rely on the PSN servers that will probably end up catching fire.
Rivals was bumped up to the 15th.

Does the space on the side here imply that several people could live stream at once and all appear on the side bar?Sort of. Like this:
Will do Peregrin
probably for chat
I saw that headset at Best Buy today. I think it was USD $22.
I'm hoping the Best Buy that I pre-ordered my PS4 at will allow me to price match Target/Amazon deal, I wanna grab that with Killzone and probably grab Knack.
DietRob
i've been begging for over 5 years.
No. It won't. GAF will catch fire way before the PSN does. Can always jump in #SonyGAF IRC. I don't have the server info at the moment but somebody could probably post or PM it to you.

LOL eat fresh on Sony!
Thanks Taco Bell.
I went with KZ, NFS (not showing estimate), and BF4 as my free game. I already have BF4 but playing that with my console friends which have never experienced a balls to the wall 64p BF4 will be glorious.

My guess was it would show text commentary posted by the speaker. But your guess is as good as mine.
