You couldn't play them at the same time unless you coordinated it that one console is offline. It's the same as the 360 system, you can play on any system as long as the account that bought it is online on that system, but you only have one primary system that can play the digital games offline.

Nah, it's the same as it was on PS3 except only 2 licenses instead of 4 now. Sharing games is still possible.

It's very inconsistent on the PS4. I rarely have issues on other devices.
That's what I'm doing. I ordered NBA 2K14 for my next-gen sports fix as I figured 2K deserved a shot at my money for being the first to create a proper next-gen sports game.
I will give Fifa a try when they release a true next-gen game. Konami will also release a next-gen Pro Evo next year, which may be worth a try too.
THANK YOU!
Let it be known this is the fix to shitty ustream channel URLs - man that was poor design, thanks dude.

FIFA 14 Ps4 is one of the best football games I have ever played. The gameplay, physics and pacing is awesome (its superior to last-gen version). Stadiums are lively and the sound is excellent as well.
Only the graphics are somewhat lacking. Its not thats is bad, but I just know the PS4 can do much better. Everything else is in place here, they can basically spend a year on graphics.

I dunno if you sorted this already but unless they fixed it in the update, you need to uninstall the game and then go to your download list on the Web store and download the dlc. After they've downloaded you are free to reinstall the game.
I need to emphasize that you need to delete your wrongly-named channel and create a new one instead of just renaming your wrong one on PC. Renaming it will change the name but not the URL. I'm guessing this has to do with how ustream handle sub-domains/folders in their database.

I'm the same, except I had FIFA 09 for PS3. As far as I'm concerned the gameplay itself is a nice upgrade, but the lack of a tournament mode is disappointing. I'd however you mainly like FIFA for playing through seasons as your favorite club then I'd still recommend it.

Uhm, no, this is absolutely false. It's quite different from how it was on PS3. There is no longer a limit to how many systems the games bought with your account can be played on. However, only one system can be the primary one for your account, and only on that system can other users play your games (and also get your PS+ benefits) without you having to be logged in. On any other system your account needs to be logged in for your games to be playable. But again, that can happen on as many systems as you want (one at a time), there's no such activation limit anymore.
Maybe you're thinking of the fact that your games can be played on a maximum of two systems at once - your primary system and one other. Although I don't think your account can be logged in on two different systems at once, so the primary system world probable have to be logged into another user (who, again, could still access your games) in that case. Or maybe you can be logged in on two systems. This is a bit unclear, haven't actually tried it myself.
Though every game except Resogun is shit the main thing I came away with from my PS4 experience is that the DS4 is fucking amazing. I normally don't go nuts over a controller but DS4 has some serious improvements that just feel great when you hold it, and the sticks.... joelbandares.gif
I'm thinking of purchasing one next week and I know it works with PC but what about PS3, can I play a game from beginning to end without major issues?

For all intents and purposes, what I said was correct. Say you and a friend want to share games back and forth: you create a profile for him on your PS4 and make your system the primary console for his account and have him do the opposite on his system. Then you can log into your account on your system and play your games (as long as you're connected to PSN) and his game as well. It's a bit more complicated than on PS3 but the results are the same. It's actually functionally identical to how sharing worked on 360.
I need to emphasize that you're correct! - That's what I did and in testing, I had tried the renaming thing too, and of course creating fresh via PS4 all those methods still resulted in the shitty URL. The only sure fire fix is to delete channel, then manually make it ON THE PC.
Thanks again.
PS+ is a must, I upgraded my HDD right away, but that is not a must, The included headset is not great, but it does its job, you might want to get a better headset and as for games I recommend AC4 and NFS.
Edit: The camera is good, but nothing really uses it yet I would skip it for now.

Why isn't anybody playing Injustice on the PS4? I need people to play with online. Preferably fighting-game noobs like myself. In fact, if you do own and play Injustice, please add me so that we can have matches.

PS4 Headset thread
For around $11, the Vita headset seems to be a popular choice. With a Y-cable you could also use a headset or headphones plus clip on microphone plugged into the controller.

I'd probably be playing if I could just upgrade my PS3 copy. My Wonder Woman was pretty lethal.Lé Blade Runner;93528197 said:

Using PS4 for netflix now.
I mean I think that my phat YLOD was cuz I used the ps3 too much for streaming with DLNA shows.
But I did not have a warranty when it broke down with less than 4 months left to 3 years.
Now I got the warranty for the PS4 ima make sure I use it all day to watch shows

I got the game new super cheap a couple of weeks ago,but it did not have upgrade code, also the zombie skin or whatever code did not work
I e-mailed WB support about it about a week ago and no answer whatsoever
The battery life on the DS4 is a freaking joke, I watched an hour show on Netflix and the ridiculous LED stayed lit the whole time
You can actually turn off the controller during viewing, although it does pose a problem if you want to quickly pause and nothing else.
Set it to turn off after 10 min if not in use.

Oddly enough the controller has to die on me. It said battery low only one time. I guess I just charge it a lot and don't really mind playing while plugged in since I sit close to the TV
I thought the light was pretty cool when playing sound shapes. It changes color to beat and scenery. It is pretty unnecessary though

So I turned on my PS4 tonight and I had to download and install the update. But I thought Standby mode was supposed to take care of this for me. I checked my settings and I have 'connect to internet' stuff enabled, as well as installing updates.
Anything I'm missing?

There is no real difference in getting PS+ from Amazon unless you are a Sony Rewards member then it better to get it off the console as you get points from buying off the PS store.
Happy one month anniversary, baby!
Here's looking to about 5-6 more years of gaming love. Sorry, but that's honestly about as long as you'll be relevant.
Now, if only your disc slot was bigger...
On a serious note, I'm REEEAAALLLY enjoying my PS4. I know the software line-up is pretty weak, but I don't care; it's the potential that makes me love it. I know I love the controller, I know I like the UI, and I even like the way the console itself looks. With games like Killzone, I know what to expect, graphically, in the coming years... and it's all good.

I've had a similar issue my plus save's aren't uploading in standby for some reason.
Also my update didn't download in standby neither.

Controller rules, AC4 and Resogun are awesome and if they look this good at launch, I'm really excited to see some awesome first part games out of the big studios down the road.
The UI isn't as big a step forward from the PS3 as I'd like but hopefully they can work on it. I wish they'd had more indie games ready for the first couple months but the future is looking bright!
Got mine Wednesday, AC4 and Resogun are pretty great. I can't believe how badly optimized the streaming is or the screenshot/clip features. Really disappointing. Sad that I have to wait a few months for something interesting to come out but I'm glad I bought the console regardless. Buying Fifa as a complete noob was a terrible mistake... The learning curve is insane...so many techniques and controller actions.

So I leave the DS4 usb cable plugged into my PS4 for easy charging while in standby even when it's not charging a controller , sometimes leave it plugged into my Verizon box since that's the only other powered all the time usb slot. My Slim, 360 and TV all have to be on to charge with USB, does anyone know if this is a bad idea in general like does it waste more energy just leaving a cord plugged in the box USB?
I thought since it is powered all the time with USB anyway it didn't really matter but you never know. I also noticed the separate DS4 controller I bought without the ps4 system has a more dull finish on the handle grip surface, didn't notice that much differences in feel, just if you hold it side to side backwards you can tell there is a slight difference in color.

Just having an open ended usb cable plugged in does not do any harm, there is no load on it that could possibly drain power.

I'm particularly fond of Catwoman, and will probably learn her combos thoroughly in the near future.

Thanks, good to know since with all my USB cables laying around it's is kind of a pain unhooking it then trying to find the right one.
If you hold share, it will pop up the share options screen. There you can set the options on what you want single click vs. double click to do.
