My God, it's taking over america!
About NFS. I'm enjoying it so far. Graphics are nice, but initially there were some graphical hiccups, but that has slowed down, but I still see it here and there. Lots of leaves. They blow everywhere. I think it's safe to say if you enjoy Hot Pursuit or Most Wanted this is a safe buy. I haven't played enough NFS games to give a definitive response though.

Edit: I should add that the levels don't feel as claustrophobic as Most Wanted. Far wider like Hot Pursuit. I don't find myself staring at the map all the time like I did in previous games.

Also how do I manage/view game update progress?

Can anyone help me out with this one? BF4 has been updating forever and I just want to see a progress bar or something to figure out where I am at.

So I got my PS4. My day couldn't have been any better. I get home, connect my console, biggest smile on my face. Console boots up. Everything is running perfectly. I check my pockets to put my money away and they're empty. I lost $300 I had brought just in case I wanted anything else. Amazing how quickly my day was ruined. I seriously must have the shittiest luck. I'd rather have my console bricked than this. I went back to the Gamestop I was at, watched the video back of me handing off the money and the hour after to see if anyone bent down to pick anything up. Nothing. My money has completely vanished and it sucks.

On that note, I'm drat happy I have this PS4 and 3 games here to distract me because I am the most down. :( I hope everyone is having an amazing launch day.

What the hell Amazon still hasn't even shipped mine yet, it was at shipping for hours last night before it went back to not yet shipped. Now its back on shipping again.

Whats the point of release date shipping if they aren't going to actually send it out until after its released?

So far sony has said no it won't due to different Bluetooth revisions. They may work at a later date when they update the firmware.

I've seen this a few times but apparently some people are having a similar issue to the HDMI stuff with their monobud. If your monobud isn't working properly, try plugging the audio jack in a bit harder than you would think -- people who have fixed it mentioned hearing a popping sound and then suddenly it started working.

Looking forward to seeing how well the Vita remote play actually works now that the system is in the wild.

Early reports are incredibly positive. Text is nigh unreadable but that was kindof a given, gameplay works with very few latency hitches so long as your router doesn't suck and isn't on the other side of 4 layers of lead and coated in kryptonite.

I feel bad for anybody just waiting on a shipment, this poo poo is amazing. I played BF4 with a friend on the couch beside me and we're looking at each other every five minutes while poo poo is exploding everywhere. Particles and explosions look fantastic.

I added maybe two dozen goons from the spreadsheet, will add more later. I'm mainly adding people that own BF4 for now, but once I pick up some other games I'll add everybody

I just went to a local Wal-Mart, they didn't do preorders at all and so there was a line of about 50 nerds at 7 this morning but they apparently have hundreds of PS4s.

I have no idea. I must've dropped it coming out of the store or getting into my car or something? I've seriously retraced my steps entirely and found nothing. I'm the most careful about this stuff too. It's really unfortunate. Especially since I'll always remember launch day as me losing $300.

I have to say, this dashboard music is really soothing my mind though. It's so nice and calming and is super fitting for how lovely I feel right now.

Just because I'm a total worrier about this sort of stuff, I may as well ask and look like an idiot. Should I start up my PS4 once and do any kind of setup before turning it off and installing the firmware update over USB, or is it totally fine to safe boot into USB updating the first time I ever power it up? Or is it option C: "Do whatever you want, it's not that easy to break this thing"?

STILL haven't gotten anyone to speak to me from Sony about my defective console.

I got a little desperate earlier and used another phone to call all the local stores to see if they had stock. None did. Guess it's just a wasted day off for me. Greatness waits :(

Is that how its supposed to look. I am guessing the bent pins they are talking about are the two retention pins on the bottom of the connector?

I think anybody who wants one can walk into a store today and buy one, there seems to be massive amounts of stock.

This sucks. Battlefield has just said it's updating for an hour and I don't think it's actually updating poo poo. No progress bars to verify what's going on. System won't recognize my PS+ membership no matter how many times I log in/out...gently caress.

Have you guys checked your local craigslist-type place for PS4's? There are dozens available locally for $600-$700, even though you can walk into three different retail locations that still have stock. I think it's hilarious people are gouging so heavily.

I played for like an hour or so before it said the updating was finished. No problems with my PS+ membership though.
