Apparently my system auto-downloaded the 1.5 patch as I set up. That's cool, but it's been sitting on "Preparing to install" for several minutes while now. Does this typically take a while, or should I take some kind of action?

Happened to me too, go to the settings tab and open system software update. It will have to re-download, but its only 300mb.

What does the little spinning circle on the Battlefield 4 icon mean. Is it still installing? I've been playing it just fine, but that circle is still going.

Just means that it's the active game in the background.

BLUE: The system is powering on.

WHITE: The system is on and connected to a TV.

ORANGE: The system is in standby mode.

RED: The system is overheating.

NO COLOR: The system is powered off. Your controller will not charge.

The style of the system mixed with these glowing colors just makes me feel like the ps4 was stolen from Tron.

And I loving love it.

Gonna start adding a bunch of you goons from the spreadsheet now, I'll be playing BF4 mostly all day after 2PM EST

Same here, such a slow painful process from an iPhone.

Would be nice if they had 'guilds' or 'groups' that you could create and join and then import/share friends' lists that way. As it is, I'm thinking I'll never hang with any goons whose names start with 'C' or later.

I wonder what the Red ring of/blinking red light of death will be this time around.

Why do companies make the bad colors red, overheating makes sense, hot/warning signal. But when it breaks and it gives you red it just makes things seem worse.

To be fair, the PS3 death signal was a Yellow Light, not Red.

Is there a reason I have to make a new EA origin account and it won't let me just log into my existing one? I see absolutely no prompt to log into an existing account in BF4.

I'm not sure how. But when I stuck BF4 into my PS4 for the first time it... It just magically recognized me. I'm not sure how the gently caress it did that. Probably by IP address I guess? It was awesome though. I haven't played an origin game since Mass Effect 3.

My A50s aren't working with the PS4. Game audio works, the other people can hear me, but I can't hear them. If I turn my game audio down ALL THE WAY, I can sort of hear the person in the background.

Anyone able to get A50s working in party chat at all?

Does the PS4 use the same power cord as the PS3? I'm going to replace my PS3 with it, and if it's possible to skip threading the cord through the back of the media center that would be great.

Same playstation profile as you used when you had mass effect? I'd gather EA accounts are tied to your PS profile, and if it's not recognising you then it's a server issue and best to wait a bit before retrying.

Yep, I am also. I am doing the initial sign-in after the software update and it saying it is down.

Sony says it is offline also:

It depends. It shares a cord with the "Slim" models, but if you have an old one like me you spent your morning cutting and reassembling zip-ties. Argh.

A video posted showed someone unplugging their PS3 and replacing it with the PS4 using the same cables, pretty handy for people who want to switch consoles now and then but don't want to keep the one they're not using on their TV stand, no messing with loads of cables.

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?

That's really weird, considering Sony figured that was the problem with Kotaku's PS4. I guess it could be a new design feature you keep you from smashing the pins/port by pushing too hard, so long as it's back far enough.

That's exactly what I did, but I had a slim so it was a quick and simple swap. Been playing BF4 for a while. Did the first two campaign missions and a multiplayer game. Crashed to the dashboard when I tried to leave the multiplayer after the match, but no seriously worrying issues so far.
