Yeah. I sold 2 units to buddies assuming they'd get the month in the box. Free PS+ for me then!

(one I'll send, the other went to a friend-of-a-friend and I'll likely get to keep)

Resogun is the real deal guys. They seem to have doubled the particle count since that Giant Bomb video.

Anybody know anything about Polygons assertion that the Dual Shock 4 only lasts for about 8 hours? It's making me worried that I'll have to have the thing plugged in quite often =\

I have a really stupid question, but I need an answer.

I lost my pre-order receipt that Walmart gave me. Am I fucked? It's paid off and everything...

I like the light on the controller. Doesnt bother me. Turns red when you die in Killzone. Stuff like that. Got freaked out when some dialog started playing through the DS4 speaker during Killzone. I had forgotten about the speaker.

I believe I found a few bugs in the firmware.

Activity feed will not update your name if you change it in your profile. It will be stuck at whatever you inputted it as when you first booted up. You also cannot delete entries to your activity feed.

You can "install" DLC for games that haven't fully downloaded. It will just get stuck at "Installing application." You can back out of it, though.

Is this for the real name option for PS4?

Ya sorry, tbf Octodad was never slated as a launch title. But we'll have a slew of amazing downloadable games through this year and early next year including it, Transistor, Doki Doki, Hohokum, Road Not Travelled, etc etc. It's going to be great.

I'll find something to play. There is PS+ too. Also hoping for Watch Dogs, but I get seriously bummed the more footage I see.

It asks you to put in your real name when you first start. It will always stay as that name in your (local) Activity Log. Say I put "John Smith" in when I first set it up, then wanted to change the display name to "Johnny Smith" it won't do it in the activity log. It will be stuck on "John Smith" forever, locally at least. I don't know how it displays to your friends.

So I assume since it hasn't been mentioned that there's no demos up on PSN yet, right?
