If it's still copying to the HDD then yeah. Once that's done it will quieten down.
How do I know when it's done copying to the hard drive? Doesn't it install the whole game? The progress bar on the XMB was done in like 2 mins.

Progress bar is only how much needs to be there for you to play. There is no way of knowing how much it has actually transferred over as far as I know, the system tells you it's occupied the full amount just a few minutes after it starts, and that's physically impossible.
The share menu crashing consistently is starting to piss me off now.

Only way is to hear if the disk is spinning up. If it is then it's not finished.
Well shit, that's weird that they hide the fact that it's still installing. I turned the PS4 off after about 10 minutes because I thought it was going to explode. Will the install pick up where it left off?
Been playing a bunch of Resogun and AC4 (digital version) and my PS4 is super quiet. Played about 10 minutes of Killzone off the disc yesterday and it sounds like a jet engine. Is that normal?
Yes. It will also just install while it's sitting at the menu IIRC.
I suppose it's not shown simply because it's irrelevant for the actual playing of the game. You can play as soon as that first progress bar vanishes.

Oh ok cool. If I look at my storage management, it says 39GB for Killzone but the disc is still spinning like crazy. Guess I'll just leave it be and hopefully it works itself out. Just don't want to have to deal with returning it to a place tha. Probably doesn't have any more PS4s to replace it with.
Yeah it's the same for me. Killzone was loud off the disk, and AC4 was pretty quiet. Honestly it just seems to depend on the game. I don't think it's an issue with the console. NBA 2k14 has something similar as well, in the career if you leave the screen on the little break(driving your car or when you're on a plane inbetween matches) the fans turn up. Even that seems like 2k Sports just forgot to cap the FPS in those scenes though so it's just rendering an excess of frames requiring the fan to turn up to keep it cool.I have the same problem.
Only different thing is that i have AC4 on disc and thats is super quiet.
If i play Killzone MP then it is also silent.
I don't think it is a problem with the PS4.

After realizing I am lazy, I suddenly get the reason to DL games digitally.
Usually happens when i'm previewing my screenshots.I've had it not record properly, but never crash. Any specific game it's doing this in?
Only use microfiber to wipe electronics. Everything else is abrasive and will scratch.Has anyone else got surface scratches on the glossy black part?
I gave mine a quick wipe with a cloth and now it looks like someone's lotto ticket.

Did this actually go on sale in North America?
I'd love to find one, it looks even slicker than the other decent one that came out:

I mean I have to get up and switch out assassins creed black flag disc for the kz disc just to play mp? Not liking it.
Ok it's probably just me but is there anyone else out there who hasn't taken the clear plastic strips off their controller because they wanted it to remain scratch free?
Anyone else's system crash whenever they try to view screenshots? I haven't been able to for like as week. How do you fix this?
Like the Xbox One? I'd like that.You know how, with the current UI, when you press the home button from a game to get back to the system UI, it just shows the icon for the game? Like this:
I was thinking it would be better/cool if, when you hit the home button, it shows the live feed for the game where the icon used to be, so you kind of know where you are in the game (like a pre-game lobby in a multiplayer game) without having to get back into it. The PS4 reserved a lot of RAM so it shouldn't be an issue I would think. Here's a horrible mockup I made. Imagine that the game is still running in the little window:
What do you guys think?

The 3rd party one looks horrible. Happy as Larry I have my official one.

Killzone is trying its damnest to make me dislike the game. I'm perpetually stuck on chapter 7 'The Handler' when you're out in space protecting. Near the end, the forcefield doesn't go down, the container just slides through the door and the airlock refuses to open...Masser's container
Restarting the mission from the beginning doesn't resolve it.
Trying really hard to like this game, but the general lack of polish the campaign suffers and now this.. potentially leaving me with no other option than to delete my save and start over..sheesh. I guess the game's not for me.
Looks fantastic though.
Here's a video I took of the entire section for reference so you can share my suffering (bug is towards the end of the 3 minute clip).

Anyone else have loose plastic handles on their DS4?
The plastic on the handles seem to be loose and wobbly, I contacted Sony Support and they told me to send my controller in and they'll take a look at it.
The thing is that i'll be without a controller for 10 days...
The cs rep told me if I didn't want to be without a controller for 10 days that I should just buy a new controller.
wtf
That's a sucky customer service response although I'm surprised they even take in controllers
Others with similar problems have said that you can solve it most of the time by tightening the 4 screws on the back of the controller (just 4 Phillips screws)
I'd say try that before you try anything else
The left handle on my bundled DS4 is a bit loose. Noticed it last night. My second controller is solid, though. Not sure if it bothers me enough to send it back just yet.
I tried this, but the screws are tiny! Gonna have to get hold of a tiny screwdriver.
Killzone probably squeezes more juice off PS4 than both those. Just wait for the next ND game. TLOU killed many old PS3 fats because it stresses the hardware to the highest.I have the same problem.

I don't think it is a problem with the PS4.
