For those who are interested.



Yum.

They should put out those colors here in the states. I haven't seen one here yet.

So when's Whats New supposed to go live?

It was a within a week after launch in the US but European launch may be a little more complicated.

Does anyone else have the problem that his TV takes some time to "detect" the signal from the PS4? Sometimes my TV needs up to a minute to show the PS4 signal way after the startup is complete and it kind of flickeres between no signal (blue screen) and a black screen indicating the TV kinda gets a signal. After the signal is there I don't have any problems, perfectly stable and working. Btw I don't think my TV even has a firmware I could update.

 

[Travis Touchdown]

Aaaand I have a bricked PS4.
Goddamit.

 

[KennyLinder]

When do game saves get updated to PS+ on PS4? On PS3 and Vita you specify a time to do it, but there is no such option on PS4. Does anyone know?

 

[Nerfon]

Samsung, it's Anylink+ I think. I turned it on but any time I turn on my PS4 it doesn't turn on my tv. Both go through a receiver.

I did the "Connect via HDMI" on the PS4 in settings.

You need hdmi-cec also enabled in the receiver.
Receiver boot up when power up the tv ?

Nope it does not. I would love the receiver to boot up and I have been looking, but can't find it. Might have to look again.

This is the manual for my receiver:

NBA 2K14 works out to £37 with international transaction fee with barclaycard, so much cheaper than buying anywhere in the UK right now. I don't know if I need this game or if I should go with Ghost :/

Get on the horn with Sony. At least you're well within the warranty period.

I got Ghosts and it's crazy fun in multiplayer, but I haven't been in on the series seriously since Call of Duty 2 - I did play Modern Warfare and Black Ops a little bit.

Also have NBA 2K14 but I too don't know if I'll appreciate the game, I haven't been big on basket.

Damn let me see, i have and onkyo too and working fine, it's also a really cheap model.
On receiver - main menu- hdmi - hdmi control(RIHD) is on ?

Aaah, I didn't want to hear Ghost is fun lol. That's just making my life harder. I like NBA, but could do with a MP that I can just pick up and play. KZ solo is not doing it for me. Some serious head scratching will go on, no way I can afford both right now.

There is also a safe mode boot if you've just messed it up while applying a firmware update

i havent been able to make contact with my router the whole day, which is literally outside my room. what the helllll

 

[SenatorBot]

I just got my PS4 and it isn't showing anything on the screen and there's a blue pulsing light.

Are there any fixes for this?

Call Sony. There is also a troubleshooting thread for the PS4, but I have a feeling you might as well just due what I already mentioned.

 

[Fersis]

Anyone knows if it has the same 'turn off after downloads complete' feature as the PS3?

 

[Lucid07]

Standby mode still downloads games.

You'd have to buy PSN Pre-paid cards if you wanted to buy Ghosts DLC.

 

[Lucid07]

Edit: Double post.

 

[Hasney]

Really tempted to go mostly digital for games with decent replayability with the internet remote play feature, but those prices.

Half tempted to setup a US account instead and just use PSN codes.

 

[Fersis]

:0

Genius!

 

[SJRB]

That's basically what Standby mode is for. The console will enter a low-power mode but will keep downloading.

 

[AndyD]

Right. In other words, when selecting a power-down option, select standby and it will finish downloads, install them, download and patch any games that need patching then enter standby at the end. So in this sense it is far better than PS3's version.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Mine seem to be uploaded right after I put the system into standby mode. You can check to see if you look at uploads under notifications.

 

[KennyLinder]

Will that upload saves to PS+ too? I am trying to find out when it does this.

Do you happen to know what the sony support line is?

Huh, I just said this as I assumed that's what it does when I thought about it. Thanks!

No it goes into standby when you select it (with a orange light) and will stay like that till you boot it up. Its a low power mode that will download and install games.

Edit: You can also power the USB in standby mode so you can charge your controller while it is off as well. But that has to be setup in the settings.
Edit 2: Also if a patch is released while it is in standby it will download that too.
Final Edit: It will also allow you to turn it on via remote play and send downloads to it to start download from the web store if you are away from it i.e. Your at work and buy a game, it will download for when you get home.

This is my plan for this gen unless the EU store has some crazy good bargains most of my digital games will be via Amazon digital codes.

 

[Pachimari]

Really thinking hard of just sticking with Call of Duty: Ghosts as my shooter, and not get Killzone: Shadow Fall seeing many of the complaints with the single player campaign. Also thinking of returning NBA 2K14; I'm afraid I won't have have much joy out of it with its high learning curve and me not knowing any of the basket ball players or rules.

And then just save some money and wait for the 2014 games really.

 

[Addnan]

Fuck me. Amazon sent me a PS3 code for NBA 2K14. wtf do I do now, just wait for CS to fix this shit

 

[Hasney]

I take it they're working via the usual "just need a US address, your UK credit card will work" method? Killzone is under £40 and my bank doesn't charge me a fee for currency conversion, which is nice.

Fuck me. Amazon sent me a PS3 code for NBA 2K14. wtf do I do now, just wait for CS to fix this shit

On the plus side, if it's their cock-up, you'll probably have a PS3 and PS4 version without the upgrade fee.

 

[jwk94]

As soon as you log out of your profile. So if you log out and then quickly log back in they've been uploaded.

 

[DagsJT]

I had the same issue.the first reply from Amazon tried to blame PSN being wonky. Second email got me a PS4 code though.

Have a read down the product page. There's a discussion where others also say they received a PS3 code. Just email Amazon and say they've sent the wrong code and link to the discussion URL.

 

[Hasney]

Grrr, I got a £10 voucher from Argos with my PS4 purchase and the blue DS4's are out of stock. Not going to slum it with a red just yet...

 

[Megasoum]

Is it in this thread that somebody posted a link to a website that would send you a notification the moment a store has a PS4 in stock? And was that site US only?

My friend is hoping to find a PS4 here in Canada before Christmas but it's gonna be tough.

 

[Vol5]

So there's no friends online notifications? Is this an oversight?

 

[zedge]

With a friend list of up to 2000 now that could get annoying quick. It was removed on purpose. Guess it could be an option. I won't have 2000 on my friend list lol. MS did same on X1 too AFAIK.

What they need to do is let you customize it so you can see when certain people come online.

Also, they really, REALLY need an option to disable notifications on a per-app basis. I'm tired of seeing download and message notifications during Amazon instant video.

 

[Addnan]

Goddamit, I want to play now.

 

[csquared587]

I am recently having a ton of problems with my PS4's wifi coming out of standby or a power off. All my other devices are connected and working, but my ps4 seems to be completely random when it comes to whether or not it wants to work. I get, "Cannont connect to the Wi-Fi network within the time limit" errors and unable to obtain IP address in test connections.

It seems to start working again at random times. It worked fine since the 15th until about two days ago. Any ideas?

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I love that I was able to use the app to purchase Flower, then when I got home it was downloaded and ready to play.

 

[Hasney]

Goddamit, I want to play now.

An extra $5 you say? Well now, I may have to try my luck.

 

[DagsJT]

Huh, I didn't get $5.

 

[Addnan]

An extra $5 you say? Well now, I may have to try my luck.

Huh, I didn't get $5.

I'd take the game over the $5. They haven't sent me the game yet!

 

[DagsJT]

I'd take the game over the $5. They haven't sent me the game yet!

I waited a couple of hours.

And good luck downloading it. Took me HOURS.

 

[Addnan]

I waited a couple of hours.

Yeah, 39GB or something right.

I get ok speeds from US PSN store, so maybe 2-3 hours. Just over 1 hour if PSN turns magic and can max out my connection. Which I highly doubt.

 

[PaulLFC]

I waited a couple of hours.

And good luck downloading it. Took me HOURS.

Yep, took me all day to download it a couple of days ago, won't be deleting it any time soon after that!

Is voucher redemption working again in the UK? Just about to start AC IV and it has a Uplay passport code, don't know if I should try and activate it yet or not.

 

[Melchiah]

I love that I was able to use the app to purchase Flower, then when I got home it was downloaded and ready to play.

I haven't been able to pair my phone with the PS4. The console gives a code which should be inputted on the phone app, but there's no input field. =/

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Heads up on Tiny Brains, it's not 20% off for Plus members in the US. I will also be giving away a code for the PS4 version tomorrow.

 

[Addnan]

Sent them another email and they got back to me with a code which worked. Woo. Downloading now.

This doesn't look right.
