UK Gaf, Amazon have graced me with £7 off codes for Killzone and Knack, since I have no use for them, who wants in?
In other words, HOOK! (Sure hope people are familiar with the hook / fish game)

How are people getting these? Is it people who preordered their PS4 on Amazon, or just people who've bought games there or something?

EDIT: just checked my home email, I got one too, seems it's for people who bought a PS4.

The damn vouchers are only valid till the 13th though! That's no use to man nor beast, I don't get paid again until the 20th :(

So I'm considering swapping out my Samsung 40' 3DTV for a LG 42'. Should I sacrifice the 3D for a TV thats 2' bigger or not? :)

I don't a shit about 3D, but why bother upgrading if the only gain is 2"?

I went from 40 to 47 and with the change in design with new screens having thinner bezels the actual dimensions of the TV were almost identical to the old one despite having a larger viewing area.

I went from a 46-50" and the increase in viewable size isn't massive but it is noticable. I probably wouldn't bother with 2" though - wait until you can go up to a 46-50".

Ooooohhh only just realised they sent me the same.

I'll use my Knack and PS+ ones. But I have a KZ one for grabs if anyone wants it.

Since you can use them until the 13th I'm going to hold off and see if Knack drops at all.

Anyone played Madden on ps4? I rented it for the 360 before and it was alright. Highly considering buying ps4, especially for remote play on the vita.

Is it me or does the share button not work properly?

So something happens in COD, at the end of the match I press the share button, there is a video clip and it has the thumbnail of where I just pressed share, so I think it's right.

When I preview or go to edit it, the video is some gameplay from about an hour ago... WTF! I wanted to see newer gameplay, why does it store old gameplay but not the new thing I wanted to share?

I'll take a knack code if anyone has one spare. There is enough polarising opinion on GAF to make me curious. plus coop play with my kids could be fun.

I haven't faced this issue yet, however, a lot of people have reported it. You are using the share button correctly. It seems to be buggy at the moment. I hope Sony acknowledges this issue and fixes it soon.

I installed Warframe and as soon as it booted the screen started flickering; even when I backed out to the XMB (PDM?) Uninstalled Warframe, rebooted and it's fine now. Wtf is up with that game?

This happened with me on COD too. No such problems with Killzone, though. Maybe it's a COD problem? One time when I pressed share while playing COD, it took me to old Killzone footage. :S

I did also find today that I had somehow accidentally recorded 15 minutes of useless footage without realising, like a pause screen or such. I dunno what's going on with share.

The share has been fine for me until last night where exactly what you stated happened to me on Killzone. Thumbnail was of the screen as it was happening, the video was 20 minutes of a pause screen that happened much earlier.

When I came out of the share screen, it started recording properly again. Not sure what's going on.

I've been getting good results by deliberately starting a recording when I start playing. It'll then record the next 15 mins, save those and start a recurring last 15 mins record. You'll have to delete that initial 15 minute segment in the end but at least it seems to keep up that way.

The remote play on this sucks mainly because of its reliance on the back touchpad. It's split into four quadrants and I just don't think it's very accurate or easy to use while playing. It's pretty fun on ps4 but a very minor graphical update from current gen consoles

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just received my dispatch confirmation from John Lewis, console should be here tomorrow or Thursday.

Now I have to remember to pick up a copy of Knack and NBA 2k14 on PS3...

Exciting times.

It's used for R2 and L2 on the top half and R3 and L3 on the bottom half. You can't change them and the game doesn't even tell you the remote play controls you have to guess at them. Unfortunately those are used for sprinting and changing the intensity of your jukes and dives and what not and need to be held. It's extremely uncomftorble to play like that and it's super finnicky about registering your touch when you need it

Seemed to work fine when I did that. Luckily, the Killzone bug I was trying to record was still there:

By default, it's L2 and R2 on the bottom quadrants and L3 and R3 on the top. The touch screen is the touchpad.

Devs can change this to their liking though and can even give you options to change the control. I'm hoping FIFA gives me options, sprinting on the touchpad is no good.

Damn shame. Hope they fix it soon. I was thinking COD was more prone to it as Resogun videos were fine; maybe it's something to do with how COD handles recording matches/menus?

BF4 SP (all I can play with the internet speed here) is shitty with video capturing from my time with it. I havethe easy screenshot layout and double pressing often takes a screenshot or nothing happens instead of starting a vid. Sometimes the video symbol pops up, but the video isn't from when I pressed onward, but the automatically recorded time before. Didn't get footage of my C4 fight with tanks because of this. Game looks damn good, though.

I want an edit video function without any FB crap as well.

Webhallen here in Sweden must have gotten a new batch of consoles because I got mail today that mine were ready to be picked up. When I got the mail a month back or so that I wouldn't get one on the release day I thought I'd have to wait much longer than a couple of days.

Ahh well, downloading the OS file as typing this... since the first thing I did was replacing the HDD to a 1 TB SSHD.

Greatness awaits...

Where are the codes from?
Click to expand...

Codes are from Amazon for £7 off. You get Knack, Killzone and PS+ codes in the email.

I'm assuming they got sent to everyone that ordered with Amazon? I got the Gamer pack if that had anything to do with it, though why they would include the KZ code if they knew I had Killzone I don't know.

Does anyone know if Sony or Amazon would replace my controller? The L2 has a slight sticky feel when releasing the trigger. I keep my controls in good condition and my hands are always clean/I'm not aggressive with it lol. It's annoying if I have to constantly use the button.

aright so my PS4 definitely can't read any disc, I've tried a dozen different ones now that both my PS3 and laptop have no trouble reading

the question I have is do I call the regular support line or the protection plan dedicated support line? I did pick up the protection plan day 1

Damn man, I started AC4 downloading while I was working, got in 2 hours later and it was done.

Still waiting for my replacement PS4 code from Amazon though. Taking their time on mine.

Really thinking if I should stack another year of PS+ im fully paid till dec 2014, I dont want to give sony too much faith. The PS4 side of things is still unproven and the Vita side of things might start to dry up soon.

Have Sony said how long they intend to support the PS3 via plus?

Let me know if your NBA is slow. Might just be limited to just that game. Quite a few people have been saying it's slow.
