Just want to check I have something right. Setting RGB range is for games and Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr would be for Blurays? Also, If you have a TV that supports Full, is it always best to set them both full?

If your TV supports full RGB use it. But remember to recalibrate your TV then.

Erm... my PS4 has stopped sort of loading things. Won't load PSN store, won't load friends list, won't start up games. But I can browse the dashboard just fine.

EDIT:

Test connection fails on PSN Sign-In. Is UK PSN down?

Interesting I can't play games if PSN is down...

Well it is a pretty dashboard...

PSN is apparently dodgy at the moment, but the non-loading games is a worry. Try again when PSN is back up as it may be a bug, but if it stops loading them after that, call Sony as it may have shit itself.

I'm not. Both PS4 and XBone firmwares were clearly rushed for Christmas so I'd rather they took their time and got the next version right rather than rush some untested crap out.

Turned it on the other day to discover the fan was making a slight chugging noise, sounds like a bearing has gone. Turned it on today to discover it no longer outputs audio to the L and R channels of my 5.1 amp. I wonder what tomorrow holds?

PS4 is testing how much broken it can get before you call SONY, so far so good.

Can we output voice to speakers while having a mic plugged in? I want to use my regular headphones (via sound system) but have a mic attached to the controller.

So we are approaching one month so I need to decided if I am going to go for the 3 year protection plan from sony.

What are you guys doing?

My PS3 died about 3 years in. I fear that the plan will cover the period when the PS4 works and it will break in year 3 or 4. I am just wondering what is the overall consensus on stuff like this.

I also noticed that I had about 30 GB of ACIV video footage on my HDD. Does it automatically save gameplay recordings when you hit the Share button? I just wanted to save the screenshot. Is there a way to disable the auto saving of the video footage?
Click to expand...
Scope out Sony's article on the Share Button. If you follow the directions in blue, you can alter the Share Button to take a screenshot on a quick press and save the last 15 minutes with a long press. I've found this to be much easier to use, since I have a tendency to accidentally press the Share Button, thinking it is "Select." So, when I want to save a recording I know I am saving a recording.

I'll be joining the club on Christmas day! Can't wait :)

Still can't decide on what games to get... None of the retail games really stand out to me except maybe 2k14. Any must have downloadable games? Planning on getting Flower for sure.

FYI I Missed the whole PS3 era.. so my possibilities might a little bigger than the normal PS4 owner.

Resogun (free with PS+), escape plan, sound shapes and trine 2. I'm so addicted to them that I haven't played the big games in a week!

Soooooo my playstation 4 does not double beep(only 1) when I try to enter safe mode(did an update from stock firmware to 1.51 on my PS4 now)
Should I be worried?

2k14 is broken beyond belief. Hold out and see how next years is.

AC4 is damn addictive and I only enjoyed Brotherhood before this one. The rest never grabbed me. Need for Speed is fun also.

Resogun is free with PS+ and Warframe and Black light are fantastic Free 2 Play games, so you shouldn't be left wanting too much.

Just got my ps4 but when I try to sign in it says psn is undergoing maintenance.
Is this normal? Found it odd since my Vita is signing in just fine.

With the share button, when I choose to edit a clip and them trim it before posting, it doesn't touch the original file right?

So I was playing battlefield and wanted to make sure I caught a "battlefield moment", but when I hit the share button nothing was in my capture folder from today? I thought it recorded the last 15 minutes of gameplay? Do I need to clear out the directory somehow?

Guys do any of you know where I can get 10$ psn cards so i don't block my amazon.com account. I am from the EU and with amazon cracking down lately on people with foreign CCs I don't wanna risk it.

I tried to edit a clip from BF4 today and I was asked to exit the application to do that... is it really like that? Cause that sucks.
Click to expand...

The PS4 only suspends the game. You can edit and upload the clip and still return to your game. I've done that while playing singleplayer. I'm not sure of what happens when you play multiplayer though.

Was curious how Escape Plan would work on PS4. Works decently although making circles on it is a little annoying. Also wish the camera was mapped to the right stick instead of both pointing and moving the camera on the left stick.

It should have recorded something from your session if you hit share. Check how much free space you got in the system settings. Share button atm is bugged, it does record stuff but it records seemingly random stuff from you gaming session.

I take it Sony disabled the What's New and Game Info stuff for the maintenance?

I don't know what to do.

I cancelled my PS4 Killzobe bundle order, but my mate at the store sneakily put one aside for me and called me JUST NOW to tell me it's there if I want it.

But the bad things I hear about Killzone and the Analog rubber issue are making me REALLY hesitant.
