At least for play/pause you might be able to use your TV remote if you have HDMI-CEC. Mine does, but it might vary by set
Edit: no I can't on Netflix, maybe that was a video in the browser. Still, I can launch Netflix using my remote, and then send videos to it from my iPad and play/pause from there. That'll do for a while until hopefully they improve it.
Any other thoughts on this? Kind of frustrating, it's only very occassional but it'd be great to stop it occuring.
I could always just run the 7' cable from my Sennheiser 555's from the amp in front of me - the quality would no doubt be better but the convienience factor is way lower :/

Do you have another controller to try and test if its the controller at fault?
Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure I've used both my controllers and had the issue. I'll double check tonight though.

It's a good baseline to figure out if its the controller or the audio being streamed from the system etc.

So I'm in Florida right now and looking for a ps4 to bring it back to Brazil. it's not easy,most gamestops tell me they will have them on Sunday,but I'm afraid of which one of the stores I'll be camping on it. Any ideas? Maybe camping at Walmart or bestbuy? Online is not an option, since I only have a bazillio. credit card... I need help, I have to fin one in Florida...
No idea, but here in my country, it will be launched on Jan 14,with pre-orders starting next week

Beat AC4 tonight so I think I'm gonna trade it in tomorrow along with Killzone which is just not fun at all. I wanna pick up another PS4 game but there's just nothing. Is BF4 campaign at least decent?

And you're going all the way to the far right when you're trimming right? It scrolls pretty far. It might be a dumb question but I gotta ask it.

That's used for Direct Connect. You'll have to turn that off if you don't want the SSID to broadcast.
Last night I was playing Resogun and it was my aim to beat the arcade on Rookie for the first time.
About half way through World 4 and one of my best runs ever a popup appeared in the top right corner "Resogun will expire in 5 minutes". Needless to say it expired half way through World 5!
Fortunately it just dropped into suspend, so one emergency PS+ sub later and I was able to beat World 5 and beat the arcade for the first time. Also took the time to save all the humans and get a few other trophies in the game.
No idea if I'll ever be able to beat it on harder modes though!
Knack should be arriving today or Monday too!
I also started my BF4 campaign again. I had uploaded my save to the cloud so when a mate started fresh I wasn't bothered, only to find it had overwritten the cloud save since I did it! I must have played the first mission on BF4 more than anyone else ever. I'll also add, every time I do, trying to place the C4 on the wall, and shooting the chopper are temperamental at best.

Germans man, its called marketing, you see premier league players getting tonnes of free shit all the time over here, its called marketing. Like all those big headphones they wear while entering the stadiums do people think they paid for those haha.

Well, managed to bag a PS4 bundle from Game. Coming Monday. Not a great bundle - Killzone, Need for Speed Rivals, Knack, PSN+ Year subscription and two blu-ray films Despicable Me 2 and Man of Steel. £559.99. Let's see if lightning strikes twice and the courier nicks this one too!
Quick question. Will I have PSN+ on PS3 and PS4 or do I need a subscription on both?

One PS+ subscription covers PS4, PS3, and PSV/PSP
Also that bundle is terrifying. Despicable me 2 is good though

Finally managed to track down a PS4! Didn't think I'd be able get one before next year.
Every time a store in my area would get stock there would be people lining up outside at 6:00 in the morning and they'd be all gone within 15 minutes of the store opening its door. Every time they got stock online, it would be sold out before I even found out about it.
I was forced into buying the Killzone + extra controller + 1 year PS plus bundle for $568 from Walmart. Didn't need or want the extra controller but at least it was better than paying a scalper $650 for a barebones box. Now I wait for the delivery man.
EDIT: Oh, and for my Canadian gaffers, Walmart.ca has Killzone and Knack bundles in stock.

It's no different than if it was delivered by DPD themselves, considering interlink and DPD are the same company.
One is simply a franchised operation of the other which deals with primarily SMEs while the other is one that owns and runs it's own depots and deals primarily with (but not exclusively) with national and or volume accounts.

It's a Killzone bundle. £385 and you get kz with it.
hope you got your money responded. it is games responsibility until it is delivered to you.

That's actually not a bad deal. And you know, an extra controller is never a bad thing. You can buy a charging station and switch between controllers once you deplete one's battery. That way you never have to play with the cable attached.

Yowzas. Now showing as out of stock.
I am trying to get a ps4 before my 2 weeks Xmas break and so far here in Australia all the shipments coming in are sold out until February. My best beat is Amazon USA and I still can't find one. fuck me!
Edit: Thanks to LowEndTorque I found ps4 bundles at walmart Canada, but they don't ship to Australia, god damn it!

Find a 24h Wallmart and start camping at least on 8pm. I think they will have a bunch this Sunday and they start selling at midnight.
Yeah make a thread. I'm just posting them here because they disappear so quick i dont think theres much point in me making a thread

Big bundle in at game. Its the one a few posts up with the superman and despicable me blu-rays. Over £500
I'm getting these from stockinformer.co.uk
They have been out all week and some popped up today so there must have been a few deliveries.

Released yesterday here in Greece and finally got it!
The set up was easy and fast. I was worried about the noise level but it turned out to be completely silent. The only sound I heared was the disc accelerating when I inserted it for about 1 second. Even after 2 hours of Killzone I didn't hear anything else. Of course it's winter and the room is at 20 celcius. We'll see what happens in a few months...
Today I have an issue with psn speed. I wanted to get psplus and the store crawls like crazy. Even the what's new section and Killzone details (when you press down on it's icon) won't show...

Yep, hearing the disc is part of the authentication proces. After a few seconds, the disc stops spinning (so the entire game is running via the hard drive).
Fan speed... well, eh, yep, we'll see how that goes in the summer, but for now, I find it to be quite silent.
First of all: congratulatins!
And yep, PSN is quite slow today. Almost reminds me of EU launch day.Probably has to do something with all those people who bought a PS4 yesterday/today during the third launch wave.

Give it some days before the speed is there. It's happened in every region and they just took down those sections until they got the servers right.

Got my PS4 back from Sony, all fixed and ready to go... working great now. Must have been a faulty HDD.
Anyway, this is pretty crazy. But turnaround time on the repair, from when I put the box in the mail (which they overnighted to me) was just two days.
They said it could be anywhere from 7-10 days for the repair, and another 3-4 for shipping.
But they actually did the whole thing in two days. I think that's pretty crazy. They even put another voucher in my box, giving me a $10 PSN credit and 30 extra days of PS+.
Good job Sony, good job.
Now just make some games for this thing!

Sorry for the huge-ass image, but does anyone else's PS4 look like this? The plastic protrudes a little, same for the section with the USB ports.

That's where the fan is.
Finished the single player of BF4, I wanted the weapons for multi (you need to replay the last level 3 times), and its fine. The story is just garbage, the voice acting is terrible, Irish is the new Rico, but at least the gameplay is good. Glad I never have to play the SP again.
ACIV is so good, the best in the series. Its easily my favorite launch game.

I've noticed the vents since day one, but that spot right there has plastic that isn't flush with the rest of the system.

Okay, so on PS3 I used to have an issue of corrupted data while downloading. I was able to get around this by downloading everything through the PSN store. Anything that was a big DL, I'd just let it sit in the store until it was finished and installed. Kind of an inconvenience, but at least those really big DL's wouldn't be corrupted and the bandwidth wasted.
But how does this work on PS4? It seems like everything is background downloading now, even when I'm sitting in the storefront. I'm freaking petrified one of these expansion DL's is going to be corrupted and I'll have to redownload all of this shit again.
