Man with both the Amazon and Target B2G1 deals this week, it feels like PS4 may have a huge attach rate lol. If Sony timed all this, bravo

 

[Ozone]

Luckily, Futureshop here is selling it early.

Nice! I'm still biting my nails hoping Amazon sends it on launch day.

You win this round, Canada.

...it's a direct translation. Sortie means Exit, but in this context means output. It just means its got the HDs.

Slightly OT: Will you guys do a video picking up the PS4? I want to see you screaming hype at Matt's face while he's all "whatevs" because it's not a Nintendo console.

 

[Darklor01]

I have a $50 gift card for GameStop. Should I get a warranty for the system, NBA 2K14, or just use it to prepay for something to come later.. Like... MLB: The Show

 

[Zerokku]

So. Getting Knack for sure on Friday. What should be my second game? Trying to decide between Killzone and Need for Speed. My only thing with killzone is I've never played 2 or 3, so I'd probably feel pretty lost story-wise.

 

[Fushichou187]

Well, at least this time we got its Xbone counterpart.

Man, if your colon has mold... let's just say you're doing it wrong and leave it at that.

 

[DoomGyver]

Where can I buy a vertical stand in the US? Can I even buy one?

I'm getting Knack, and Killzone as my second game. The story won't matter much. 30 years have passed, so anything in the previous games is just background now.

The stories in the previous games are fairly straightforward. Just read up on wiki. Actually, there's a big Killzone Universe timeline in the Killzone SF OT that I recommend reading.

I thought that it came with a stand.

We absolutely have a launch video planned, but Matts actually not picking one up because he doesn't care about nothin, so he won't be there, and I don't really feel super great about going over at 9am when Im sleepwalking to record a video that's just me going oh my gosh ps4.

 

[The Elite]

Luckily, Futureshop here is selling it early.

Wal-Mart Canada has it in too.

 

[BFIB]

Still playing GTA and Diablo 3, so I only got AC4 for launch. Never played an AC game before, but I love pirate themed anything.

New iPad has kept my hype at bay, but by Thursday I know ill be in full hype mode.

 

[Darklor01]

So here are some minimum HDD space requirements for those interested:
Need for Speed: Rivals - 25GB
Assassins Creed IV - 20GB
Battlefield 4 - 40 GB
Killzone Shadow Fall - 45GB

130GB for just these first games.. Hrmm

Wow, $20?!

 

[jd78]

Where i work,if i where to wait intill dec 5th, I could get this baby for 25 percent off.Also can get 25 percent of any other stuff i buy with a one time purchase,
I dont want to wait that long i can have this baby in my hand at midnight the 15th.



What should i do!!!!!??

25% is a lot. wait.

I agree with waiting, but if you can get it now, you can always return it once you get your discounted one. I assume most places are doing Holiday period returns by now.

 

[Ozone]

Wow, $20?!

GameStop's is $18: http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/accessories/ps4-vertical-stand/111314

Not really much of a difference. Gotta pay that premium for a non-wobbling console.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Anyone preorder at a Sony store going to pick up their system tomorrow? I'm thinking Sony puts the 1.5 update live tomorrow.

Aaaw, well, Idolm@ster PS4 is already announced, you can take Liam with you.

He's across town fighting a line at Target because he's a moron and expected his g/f to jump him in the line.

 

[BFIB]

Odds on Amazon shipping orders tomorrow?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

The one thing that would have really put this launch over the top for me personally would have been a JRPG at launch. I really hope we end up seeing one by fall 2014. I feel like this is the only platform that has a shot at reviving the genre on consoles. The Wii U and Xbox One certainly can't sell them in Japan. If Sony can't either, then it's over.

I don't want niche JRPG's mind you. I'm talking about the return of the mass market JRPG.

 

[Petrie]

I'd say 100%. For arrival Friday.

Oh well, Woolie is probably too busy gushing all over Killer Instinct to care, so I guess you're really on your own then. I'll still keep my hype moderately inflated for the video though.

Is this the exact same as the official stand just with the rocketfish badge? Or wait, this one has vents, does the official one?

I'm not sure, but to me it looks the same. The official one isn't for sale in North America for some reason.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Has anyone gotten the update for the app yet from Google play? The app page seems to list the update is live but since its not out here yet it won't update. Just checking in case someone is nice enough to share the apk lol

Thats been debunked.

Not mine Not even EBGames

I picked up BF4 from FS today though. I had to ask for it since it wasn't on display. Should've asked for 2K. Damn.

I just went with the best buy one because I had a $10 promotional code w/ free expedited shipping. I'm beginning to think the stands are all the same. We'll see.

 

[haZethew0rld]

I saw a ps4 stand that had vents and two or three usb inputs, also had a blue light like the ps4 in the middle, can't remember where though.

 

[Ozone]

Thats been debunked.

Excellent news! That seemed too much of an oversight to be real.

 

[Hidden One]

link?

Whats the app called?

 

[Vooduu]

Based Cerny. Spread the gospel.

 

[HamsterPackage]

Just got a call from EB Games telling me my ps4 will be ready for pickup on friday!!! this is gonna be a long couple days........

 

[Dead Prince]

Whats the app called?

either playstation or playstation app

 

[Dead]

Just bought my first two games, AC4 and Killzone

The game cases smell amazing

 

[cjtiger300]

I thought the companion app (android/iOS) was supposed to launch today? Am I making this up in my head? Anyone got a date on that?

 

[-PXG-]

Decided to open up and take a look at the headset

Not bad. It seems to get the job done. Hopefully audio and voice quality isn't total shit.

[pock3tmonster]

Sure, don't get CoD. Battlefield is an infinitely better game.

Thanks! I'm not particularly informed when it comes to shooters, this is what I wanted to hear. I've already paid for and ordered CoD, but will return it when it arrives. Is the BF4 premium subscription worth paying for at launch?

Is this the Rocketfish one? Let me know how it is. I don't think the earpiece included with the PS4 will last me long enough.

Definitely curious how this is. I'm hoping the pack-in earbud is at least decent but if it isn't I want to grab this (assuming it's good of course)

Buy PS Vita earphones. They will definitely work.

it's so good looking. but i WISH they would have gone with the flat cable design.

It feels a bit tight, even when it's extended at it's fullest. It's a bit steep at $25, when you look at how it's constructed and how it feels. But for a standard, run of the mill, 3.5mm headset, it doesn't appear to be that bad. It certainly seems much better than the shitty ear bud thing that comes with the console.

Oh...I couldn't help myself. I caved....

No manual...sad face

Man. Dat new game smell. Knack smells like plastic. Killzone smells like straight wood, like the paper was just made and pressed yesterday.

I just want to pop these bad boys into a PS4 RIGHT NOW. If only the edges were smooth like old Blu Ray movies or Wii U games. Oh well.
