Got shipping confirmation from Amazon for Killzone, Knack and Assassin's Creed IV today! Excite!

Oh, I understand it's not that difficult of a feature to implement but that's not what I was talking about. I just found it strange a game that is launching with the PS4 and didn't have remote play already tested.

Possibly something to do with the fact that it's a feature of the OS so they know it's not something they have to worry about. Who knows.

Old?

You can have two groups of PSN friends: regular friends and "true" friends. To be true friends, or BFFs, you both have to agree. Regular friends will just show up on your lists and games by their handles, but the machine will display true friends' real names, so you don't have to keep remembering that SexCowboy77 is actually Kirk Hamilton.

I don't remember reading about this before.
 
Currently have COD Ghosts and Assassin's Creed IV, grabbing up Battlefield 4 tomorrow. Picking up my console at midnight Thursday/Friday, and heading to Target at 8AM to see what I can snag up, all the hype!!
 
Guys, weird question: What do you think the likelihood is of the Last of Us DLC being released on PS4 as a standalone game? It's being announced on the November 14th live show...

I'm sending one back. I just wanted to get in on the B1G1 deal. Killzone was the only title I was excited for and BF4 I tossed in as the freebie because I've never experienced 64 player battles before.

Lol, odd. It said you couldn't do that in the email I got. Said one copy of each title only. Perhaps it's because customer service didn't have that rule before tomorrow's official sale. For tomorrow's, you have to use promo code GR8TNESS for buy two get one free.

By itself I dunno, maybe it will be announce along with a ps4 port. I'd use that free $10 credit on it probably if it is stand alone.

Did it? I might have to re-read that. I'm sending back the first copy that had already been mailed out. The second one is tied to BF4 in the deal so I assumed that one I couldn't actually send back.

I think my situation may fall into a different set of rules since I didn't use the greatness code or do the Buy2 get 1 free deal. I used the B1G1 code. My first copy of Killzone was separate from the B1G1 order.

Right, that's what I'm thinking. You might have gotten away with it since you weren't using this promotion, although, it's essentially the same thing.

Edit: it was B1G1??

Right.

My copy of Killzone was in Lexington Ky shipping to my house when they sent me a B1G1 coupon.

I couldn't think of three games that I wanted so I grabbed Killzone again and BF4. I figured I could ditch the first copy at no penalty.

It's a B2G1 deal for everyone. You got a B1G1 code because you had already preordered one game, and therefore had already bought one game, so now you get a code for a buy 1 get 1 free to complete your buy 2 get 1. If you had pre-ordered 2 games already they would have sent you a code for a free game.

I think it's really great that you can feed all game audio through the controller. I believe it's stereo quality, but I wonder how good it really is. I got a pair of Sennheiser 558s. I'll test them out on Friday.

I still think I can get away with it though.

I found some extra launch monies and decided to look at headsets, then found out about the lack of USB/Bluetooth functionality at launch. It sucks but I'm glad I looked it up before ordering a Pulse headset. Weird that it won't support something so new from launch.

Just moved the Wii into the other room and switched my DVR to components, freeing up my TV's last HDMI slot.

I'm not even getting the system at launch & I'm hyped.

The 3DS & the Wii U taught me to wait for more good games before jumping on a system.....plus the manufacturing errors.
