I can't access the multiplayer at all in BF4 right now. All it tells me is "You must be signed in to Playstation Network and EA servers to access online features." I'm assuming the servers are completely hosed at the moment.

This message displayed for me when I was still updating the patch for BF4. It took me awhile to figure out the playstation was automatically updating games in the background without even prompting me with a message like the PS3 did. I can play TDM fine right now in BF4.

I don't think this part is supposed to be sticking up. I've never seen an HDMI port with that protrusion and that is totally going to hit the lip of the cable end before it seats fully flush.



Just got mine, it looks like this, the HDMI cable went in just fine. That little loop thing is at the back of the port. Downloaded the update in about a minute, installing now. Everything looks okay?

The DS4 that came with the console doesn't have the sticky R1 button that the DS4 I bought a week or so ago does, so that's nice. Boy howdy does the headset suck, though. Gonna have to grab an extension cable for my USB set.

Glad I took off work today. UPS guy set the console down at my doorstep, knocked twice and vamped out. Woulda sat there for three hours if I was at work.

A goon yesterday said his apple buds were fully functional. Cant confirm personally.

Thanks, it's really the mic on the cheapish set of Skullcandy earbuds I have that I'm wondering about. I'm already psyched about having a headphone jack in the controller, but the ability to also have voicechat at the same time and not have to buy a new headset would be amazing.

So here's a random question:

What do the colors on the console's top LED represent?

Mine appears white during normal operation so I assume that's it's default, and it turns yellow while on standby. What does blue mean then?

(Ialso know from the earlier reports that red means overheating. Are there other colors?

Blue apparently means "booting".

I have this PS3 headset and it won't work post-patch. When I plug in the USB the system says 'this device is not supported'. I thought I read somewhere that USB headsets would work after the patch?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053OLY9O/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sony's said that they're working to get that and the Pulse Elites functioning for PS4 in a future system update. I believe headsets that work via a physical USB are supposed to work with the 1.50 update.

Managed to grab the last PS4 from a desolate KMart this morning. Yay.

Does anyone know if Sony plans to make purchases made with PSN accounts on the PS3 available for the PS4? For instance, it would be nice to play some of the indie games I bought over the years on the PSN on the PS4.

Depends on the game. Some will give you a ported version for free (Flower), some will charge you a small fee well below retail price (some disc games), and some will not do either of these and just not work. The PS4 is not natively backwards compatible with PS3 software.

GTAV has some cheats but they are a pain in the arse because R* thought it would go all retro and you have to manually enter them each time (GTAIV & RDR gave you a cheat menu IIRC). Also the god mode cheat lasts only 5 minutes before you have to enter it again :wtc:

But yeah I miss having cheats in games, I don't really care about achievements that much but it's nice to be able to gently caress around in a game once you're done with the story, etc.

Thanks Canada Post.

Canada Post tried to deliver another package to my house at 8:00pm earlier this week which totally surprised me. I had no idea they delivered that late. My expected delivery was Monday, but at 12:30 today it updated to "out for delivery."

Stay positive.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...campaign=Buffer

Copy/Paste for those who don't wanna give GI more money :
“This affects all games on the PS4, including EA titles, causing crashing/freezing and non-responsive connections between the player's console and their TV Screen,” EA writes. “Unfortunately since it's an issue with Sony's firmware, it requires a new update to fix it. Sony is working to resolve the issue as quickly as they can. They will update their System Update page as new versions are made available, and we will keep this page updated as we find out more.”

Are people seeing these issues with the other PS4 launch titles? I haven't had a chance to hook my PS4 up yet.

I guess launch issues are par for the course, and BF4 was designed with firmware 1.0 in mind, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if it looks like Sony badly wanted to get 1.5 out and didn't fully QA it.

Thanks for beta testing, USA :)

After nearly 3 hours I got through to service. The girl said they had been having quite a few issues, take that for what it's worth. In my case, I get to wait 3-5 days for a box and then another week for a new system. I guess I'll be getting it around Thanksgiving when I'm out of town. That's more in line with my luck.

I don't think achievements have nothing to do with the decline in cheats, it would be trivial to add a check that blocks trophies unlocking if a cheat is activated. I think as games have got more complicated being able to cheat can potentially allow you to gently caress up scripting in games or otherwise lead you into an unwinnable state.

Apparently the fast movement cheat in Uncharted 2 could let you get to places before they've loaded, for example. I do wish a few more games would take the extra time to add in a few cheats, like you say they're fun to mess around with.

Really like that the streaming is generally working, its interesting to see how the PS4 will grow over the months and years ahead. Before I commit (Got a backlog the size of Olympus to deal with first) I've been reading on GAF (Argh my eyes, etc) that a lot of people are having hardware problems (White Light Of Death) and poo poo like that. Anyone having similar issues? I know some of my friends will be getting PS4s and I don't want to see them dissapointed with hardware failures.

Oh, and more Uncharted is a hell yeah for me. Didn't like how it got hyped up to high heaven though, but it got them ratings.
