And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Maybe it feels like that but it's probably because I've very vocal and loud whenever I decide to hype something :3!Because you overhype everything
Oh and I just realized that EU launch is TWO weeks later - not one
Fffffffffffff...excaliburps

More hype for this launch than PS3 but i don't think anything will beat PS2 hype i had .
Hope to join you guys soon but it going to be hell for me to get a console this year at a good price.

Holy shit :lol I love it!
Been non stop cleaning all day. Pulled out all my furniture, shampooed the carpet, simple green'd the entertainment rack, got all fresh HDMI cables and CAT6 cables, and detailed my leather recliner.
Girlfriend wishes i'd do the rest of the house but I only got time for the man cave right now. Really my man cave was well past due for a hard cleaning. And being both consoles are almost here and I just built a new gaming PC it was a good time to do it. Room smells so nice now, light smell of clean coming from carpet.

The difference is it's not a huge moon hitting us. It's a HUGE PS4 hitting us and we're going to love it!
Someone needs to make a gif out of Majora's Mask stat!
I'm genuinely happy for you. Congrats.
Now if I could only come by that same 30% sale.
1.50 is the USB headset update.
Not sure about BT, but fwiw the 1.50 manual mentions BT headsets.
Support for Pulse line of headsets is scheduled to be in an early Jan update.

Kinda looks like you're about to sacrifice that game to the fire. It won't make it get here faster! Don't do it!

Nope, thankfully a clan friend sent me the difference.

Maybe if I sacrifice it to the fire demon Xana it will make time go by faster

Welcome to the PS4 club!
Your post makes me wonder - Are there any PS3 only gamers who decided to switch to the xbox one? Would be an interesting thread if it doesn't already exist.
That would be interesting.
Yeah man, I was so excited about that sale.
I tried to pay it forward a bit from the help on here. After I got my games I got another 30% off with my game purchase. I didn't need it or any other games so some dude who was picking up Killzone I told him about the sale and gave him the coupon.
He was so pumped, I'd normally never just randomly go up to some random person like that, but I was in such a good mood haha.

Just saw this thanks!. I was trying to figure out what to do with my Halo 4 Edition Titan War Heads. I think I might sell them and put it towards some Astros. Should have gotten those last year, rookie mistake.

That would be for future BT headsets. Sony confirmed that they wouldn't be backwards compatible with older ones. USB headset compatibility, as you said, would be on 1.50

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure I can wait until January for the Pulse...
Any recommendations for a currently supported headset?
From the user manual
Also I still don't understand where apps and games go. It describes the 'content area' - the big main strip of icons - as showing the most recent apps and games you used. But it also says you select the web browser and TV/video apps from here. So does everything just go in a big long list? No separate game/video/music sections in the UI anywhere?
So I guess it must reserve a little bit of CPU for that?

The one in his quote is one of the best out there. Astro A50 I believe. Or you could try the brand new ones from turtle beach, which haven't been reviewed yet, but I'm guessing they are pretty good

I think I'm going to order those PX4s and give them a go.
Thanks!

There probably is.
The above quote in the user guide implies that there is some category called TV & Video somewhere
No problem!

How could they? No 3rd party headset is currently compatible with the xbox one. They are all releasing sometime in February, I think

Just went on chat support, translated, here's a short part I copy and pasted:
"Hey, I can't find PS+ in the site. Could you help me find it?"
"Do you mean Xbox Live?"
"No, the similar thing but for Playstation."
"No similar thing exist, unfortunately".
"Do you mean no such thing exists on your site, or in general?"
"In general, are you sure you're not looking for Xbox Live? We've got plenty of that."
This is where I rage-quit

LMAO!
What's the hold up with XBO? Isn't it simply a matter of making a cable that fits the new controllers?
AFAICT, mostly yes: /
- Installed games seem to just get dumped in the content area.
- The Library icon is the new download list. I don't know if it's just a name change though or a full on interface refresh. Hopefully the latter....
- There's no Video or Music sections, but then again the system doesn't have support for playing back imported media files/importing them so those sections would be pointless atm. One thing to note though is the VU tile is titled 'Video Unlimited - My Videos' (Purchased vids are also labeled My Videos), giving me the impression that they want you to associate Videos with their store and maybe something they could expand into a full Video tile later down the line.
- System apps (Library, Live from PS, Whats New, & 'TV & Video') and first party apps (Music Unlimited & Video Unlimited) take up slots in the content area.
- Third party apps seem to be the only ones that reside in a separate area. Instead of just populating the content area they appear below the TV & Video tile.
I was hoping the Library tile had a similar view, but I'm not so sure now....

Can you buy PS+ (3/12 months) in the EU PSN store (digitally) or can you only buy it in stores (Gamestop, GAME)?
If you can buy it digitally, how much does it cost (EU)?

Yeah, the controller has a proprietary headphone jack and the adapter isn't available yet. Just another MS goof up. It seems like they hadn't coordinated well with the peripheral manufacturers. :/
Then going back to my initial question, I'm only curious why the adapter won't be sold separately come February since Turtle Beach connectors are removable anyway. Greed, I guess?
Edit: Or is that the case and i'm just super confused?
So, people complained about the organization on the PS3 (which can be managed quite well with folders) and they made it worse. Way to go guys!
Not very serious about that. I'll withhold any judgement until I can tinker with my own box tomorrow. I was really getting into digital releases on my PS3 though.

Does this mean you can adjust for overscan?

EDIT: Moved this question to the shipment status thread.
Pardon me if this has been asked, but has anyone had any update on their Best Buy in-store pickup status? I check it often, but it still doesn't say anything other than:
Order Status:: 1 item(s) preordered, release date is 11/15/2013.
Payment validated. It hasn't even reached the "preparing order" bubble.

Yep and all games will respect that setting instead of having their own in game setup

The adapter will be sold separately. But I believe there would be headset models that are specific to the xbox one since they can utilize wired 5.1 surround, which the controller supports. If all of them were built on the adapter, then they might not be able to do 5.1 through wire.
Yes,
Perfect. The wording scared me a bit.
You can do both. Digitally I think it's 6.99 euro for one month, 14.99 euro for three months and 49.99 euro for 12 months. So if you already have cash in your PS Store account you can use that to buy subscriptions. They also stack which is great if there will be a sale during Christmas like last year.

You'd have to be quite lucky. There have been talks that post launch day, you might not find a console till end of January. But it looks like production levels are extremely high, so who knows! Good luck!

Given its low pricepoint and I can only imagine there becoming a bigger rush once people get it and start showing it off to family / friends... no
Edit: I meant no. There's 0 chance you'll find this in stores before January.
Pews, that's really bad. They must know they'll eventually have enough apps and games to need folders or similar, yet they start with a big list.
Oh well, let's hope 12 months from now we'll have had some big improvements to the XMB (I refuse to call it a freaking dynamic whatever)

Since we are being given 10$ free credit, can anyone recommend a good indie game to spend it on day one?

they will not ship until they bill you
so let us know when you get billed, it should be the same day they ship
if they bill you today, then you might be getting it shipped today
normally amazon bills and ships the same day
I was wondering if they plan on making an exception
