I don't play it, but my son has it. Can't comment on the gameplay -- although he seems to like it -- but the graphics in this game are mind-blowing. If somebody just wandered through the room while this game was being played, they could easily mistake it for a television broadcast at first glance.

I did pay the $60 for a 2 year warranty from GameStop. If something breaks you can just bring it in for a new one. I went through 3 xboxes in the early days and I know what a ##### that was...plus I have read that some have had the pulsing blue light of death. So the $60 is worth the piece of mind for me.

You have the one year from Sony and they sell the same warranty extensions in the Playstation store if you really want to add the extra time to your protection.

For PS3 Sony also had the they will fix it for $150 bucks out of warranty anyways. for the life of the PS3 I would assume that would continue. So you are betting $50 against $150.

I just looked a 3 year Sony warranty is $50 which is everything. There is also a 3 year one for $40 but it doesn't cover accidents only mechanical failure.

Loan,

So you decided to get a PS4 without telling anyone?
Please, you knew I pre ordered mine after E3. Me and some of the gang are playing Battlefield 4 nightly. Not a big COD presence on PS4 yet though for the clan. There are a ton of guys playing ghosts on ps3 still.

I see you on, but I have been spoiled I can't even use my PS3 anymore because the load times are depressing
I picked up BF4 on black Friday and then you guys moved to PS4 to play it lol. I have until March to purchase the digital copy for PS4 so i'll have one by then.
Your stats will transfer, I know some guys are on PS3 BF4 still, Phantom, Blackout, Gridiron, Silverbacks, Ninja and OriginalGamer are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Just waiting on Christmas to get here so I can unpack the PS4's I bought on release day. I'll be on BF4 on PS4 then. Until then, I'm stuck playing the game while it crashes on PS3!!

 
Played for the first time last night

don't have much to say other than the controller is the best gaming controller i've ever used. I don't love the speaker on the controller but the controller itself is very awesome, fits my hands perfectly.

Better than the 360 controller? I'm heavily leaning PS4, but the controller is very important to me.

I am not familiar with he 360 and I always thought the Ds3 was fine. DS4 is so much better I can't even tell you.

I was playing around with the PS4 at Best Buy the other day and the controller does seem much improved. I don't know if it was as good as the 360, but that's only because I didn't have enough time to spend with it. It's bigger and more solid than the PS3 controller was for sure.

I like it better than the 360 controller and it's not close.

ps4 controller>360 controller>ps3 controller is how i'd rank them

I beat the hell out of my 360 controller playing halo and it still works great, hoping this ps4 controller holds up the same

 
I have a hard time understanding how people can have such strong opinions about controllers. I like the DS4, but I liked the DS3 too. Aside from the new triggers (which I do like), they seem about the same to me.

Yeah, ridiculous imo. I have a PS3 and a 360...not that big of a deal to play games on either for me. I think the dual vibration and sound in the control are cool gimmicks and the controller is a bit wider which is nice for my giants hands, but I'm not creaming my pants over this controller.

 
Anyone have a line on release dates for new games? I just have FIFA and NBA2K right now. I've played COD, but I'm not much of an online repetitive kill everyone guy. Will be playing some Battlefield 4 with my brother and I liked the campaign in B3.

Any open world type RPGs coming?

My kids want access to playstation games bad. I keep trying to pump them up on the XBOX One because I think for my purposes it's the better platform *AND* it's in stock so I can put one under the tree. However, now I am thinking about just snatching up a PS3. Anyone seen any exceptional bundles or deals for the PS3?

Also, any chance a regular schmuck like me can get a PS4 at list price by Tuesday?

 
Of what is out now maybe Assassins Creed 4 or Injustice would appeal to you.
I've played all of the previous asses and I find them fun for a day or two and then incredibly repetitive. Have you played this one?

I'll look into Injustice...don't know anything about that one.

This fact generally makes it the "online repetitive getting killed guy." Hard to be casually into those games if getting jacked up online bothers you.

It doesn't bother me, it just gets repetitive. My bro has the COD and we did a bunch of team things. It's basically just how fast you can run around and beat the other guys to the punch. Doesn't even really matter how many times you die (at least for you score). Sometimes I did pretty well, sometimes not (especially when I got pretty drunk, woo!).

Much like the previous versions, I does get repetitive. However, I love the sea battles. The game honestly feels like an update on Sid Meier's Pirates as much as the next installation of the AC world. The naval battles are incredible and the game is fun just for that part alone.

I have not played Injustice Gods Among us but it is getting really good reviews. I think the basic premise is it is a superhero fighting game that has a campaign. It just seemed like something completely different from the shooters that are the majority of games for PS4 now.

Oh and if you like Puzzlers I personally think Contrast is very well done which is one of the free ones with the PS Plus membership right now.

Cool. I downloaded Contrast, but haven't fired it up yet.

The offset joysticks is a big factor for me, but it depends on the game. For instance, fighting games are much better without them (PS) and FPS are much better with it (Xbox).

 
If I am just getting this to hold over until

That looks about right, the best I have been seeing is PS3 for $199 but that did not come with Arkum CIty.
if I am just getting this to hold over for 6mos-1year until PS4 is in regular supply, do I need the 250GB versus the 12GB? I do plan to utilize streaming from Netflix as well as PS Plus, so I think 12GB is going to go quickly.

NVM; One of the bundles includes a 1-year PSPlus membership which covers the extra $50 all by itself.

Prices are dropping on ebay, ps4 will be in regular supply shortly after xmas i would guess

 
What is the best multiplayer game on PS4? I can get one tomorrow and it includes BF4.
Personally I think it is BF4, it is gorgeous and the gameplay is very solid. There are still some glitches that they are trying to fix but it hasn't been too bad for me.

Killzone is supposed to be real good too.

The good news is if you get the plus you will get two MP games Blacklight retribution and Warframe as well as Resogun which is like a really good Defender and Puzzle game Contrast. Oh and the DC universe but that is just a prettier version of the PS3 one

So at the least you will have 5 other games to play if the Battlefield locks up too much on you.

I have been having about 1 BF disconnect every 4 hours or so. ( not a PSN disconnect but getting bounced out of a game) I had no issues with BF4 single player.

 
The Mrs. wants me to hook up the PS4 before Xmas to make sure it works and to run updates. Is there anything I need to know or should I not even try and do this?

No and the day one update is not very long at all. It is 308 MB.

Here is all I can suggest.

Take care plugging in the HDMI cable. The angled back of the console has had some people force the HDMI in and bend the pegs.

It will ask you to set the privacy settings and it make take some time if you want to pre link you face book and set up the little thing that lets you broadcast you tube.

All in all 15 min of easy set up and a 10 minute update.

Oh here is what else I would do. If you want to impress the kids you can also download all the free games so they are ready to play. Set up PSplus if you haven't already and download

Blacklight Retribution

Warframe

DC Universe Online

Contrast

Resogun

And I think Pinball arcade it the new PS plus game this week.

So that way when it is opened on Xmas all the games are loaded on the hard drive and ready to rock and roll.

Oh and there should be a code in the box for a free week of ps+ and a $10 playstation store credit, you could punch those in too and let them spend the 10 bucks on whatever.

Holy crap a 12? I thought it was a typo and it really was a 120. Yeah don't get a 12GB that is a waste of time.
The price is pretty bad too. People were getting much better bundles for $199 earlier this year.
I didn't get that one, but it does come with a game and a $40 controller.

I ended up getting the Last of Us Bundle. $250 for a 250GB PS3 + Last of Us which was on the top of my kids' list of games they want. I also bought 1 year PS Plus and a second controller. Ended up paying $317 for all of it together at Target.

I was waiting in line at Gamestop when I overheard the guys in the back discussing the 1 PS4 they had available for sale at 5PM. I was first in line so it was mine if I wanted, but considering that the prime reason my kids want into the PS area is for the older titles they never got to play, I'll stick with the PS3 for now and buy myself an XBOX One down the road.

Yeah, I could have probably walked out the front door and made $50 selling it to the next guy in line. There was quite a crowd of people there by the time I walked out. Some old couple in front of me was asking the one kid working at the time a bazillion questions and not getting anywhere near completing the transaction. Oh well.

Try best buy first thing on Sunday morning. I spoke with one of the salespeople and he stated that they would be getting them then

 
Thanks for the tips LS, going to do the updates and downloads today.
Hey LS... doing it now. I am going to use the free trial to download the games and I have to create an online id to redeem it. Can Jr. create his own online ID with his membership he gets for Xmas or does he have to use the one I am creating now? He won't be happy if he can't have his own ID.

Don't know about the PS4 but on the PS3 you could have sub accounts (his) under the main account (yours). Just choose which you want to log into as you starte the machine up.

 
Also if the main account has PS+ all the accounts have access to it no need for both of you to have a PS+ subscription. But if he has PS+ and isnt the main account you wont have access to PS+. I am pretty sure thats how it works.
