That was kind of the reason for my question, because it was for me. Well, I already had two games perordered and got a code for a free game and picked NFS:R, but it doesn't tell me the date I should have it by, which is kind of odd.

I would guess this is probably accurate, but how awesome would it be if 3-4 people in that racer could all show on the side bar.My guess was it would show text commentary posted by the speaker. But your guess is as good as mine.
Ugh, was totally gonna get NFS with that deal. Your loss, EA.

When I ordered Rivals it said "Currently out of stock" with some disclaimer stating that it should be available by launch but is currently out.
Where did you hear this please? Would love for it to be true.

Wait a second, so according to the OP, with every NA PS4 you get:
- A free month of PS+ month (as opposed to the previously reported 2-weeks)
- A 30 day trial of Music Unlimited, AND last but not least...
- A $10 voucher?
If all of that pans out, it's more than what I expected.

Any idea of the gamer pictures(?) They gonna have for launch that we can use or buy?
Yes. There is one caveat however - the free month is intended for NEW PS+ accounts, so you cannot stack it if you already have a PS+ account.

You don't have to spend that 10 bucks day 1 either. I'd suggest waiting if there isn't a must have downloadable. Personally, I'm calling it my Octodad fund.

Maybe a good idea to add the unboxing video to the first post?

Are you sure about that? I do know you can't use the MU trial if you have used one before.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Seems like a good idea to set up a thread to give away PS+ trials when the time comes. Unless it would be better to just do it in the already established free shit thread. Dunno.
does it work on expired account?
a much sweeter way to entice ppl online that's for sure
Its very smart of Sony. They want you to get your toes dipped into the new stores and stuff, and get accustomed to having PS+
Its good marketing, and Im sure it will work well.

Would be nice, but not sure that would be a consistent layout. The empty space will then have to remain empty for all streams of single player games.
Having said that, I wonder if Sony would release an OS feature to combine multiple feeds for online tournaments. An in-built 'spectator mode' that would work with any multiplayer game. Would be a cool add on.

Its a good smart thing to ease people into their service. Give them a taste of what's to be offered if they sub
Yeah, I'm paid through sometime next year, so I'll have a 30 day trial and a 7 day trial from Killzone Shadow Fall that I can't use.

I think a better idea would be to give it to a friend for some cash or sell the coupon on ebay
I'll give mine away.
If it's something I don't consider part of the original cost, then I don't feel like I paid for it. If it didn't cost me anything, it will be of no cost to the recipient.
Yes, Yoshida said it does not stack. For new PS+ accounts only.
I do not think so. I believe it only works for a brand new PS+ account.

Very happy about the ps+ trial and free money as I'm importing from US (to Japan) but I use an EU PS+ account. I'll be able to download Resogun, Contrast etc using an American account so I don't have to wait until they unlock everything for Europeans
Anyone know if any sub $10 games will be available on PSN at launch? Sorry if this has been discussed.

Haven't these always stacked in the past?

So, is there a "Goodbye to Neogaf for November" thread? I really hope I'm wrong, but once PS4 launches through XB1's release, will the servers stay alive? It really, really sucks if not, a month like this doesn't come around often.
awww
at least gamestop will be selling a full year of PSN+ for 30 bucks during BF
how much is that normally?

Fair enough. But I'm sure there would be some who look at it differently though. Sony is giving it to you for 'free' because there is some value that you bring to the table by being an early adopter. Everything is a transaction after all. So nothing wrong in monetizing that value

I'm buying two. I'll be good until late 2016 then.
I don't think so. We'll have other things to do that day.
Oh well, I hope I can gift it to a friend.

Nov. 15th, nobody on NeoGAF will disturb the peace and happiness in the shyly emerging threads about Xbox One.
Next day will be bloodbath again.

I'll be here. I mean yeah I'll be playing the PS4, but I'm looking forward to reading other people's launch experiences, the good and the bad.

I know pretty much what I can expect from Assassin's Creed IV.
Killzone is the wildcard for me, having never played one of them before; are people expecting it to be a good launch title?

Yes it is available at launch with the 1.5 update, though we don't know all the customization details (if any). All we know is that you can set it up by tapping the share button, choosing "broadcast video" and choosing twitch. The stream will look like this if you choose to add video, otherwise it would be the game alone.
It's available in the 1.5 update which is launching on Friday. No idea about customization.
