Didn't see that one yesterday. I guess I'll preorder the blue one.

Nobody hops from the Wii since it doesn't directly compete imo.
Man I'm loving my PS4.
Downloads seem to fly on it and love the fact that they continue while you play a game.
I've downloaded two 6 gb games in what didn't seem like much time at while playing.
Too bad they keep downloading even if you're playing online in a shooter or sports game or whatever. Normally this would be fine (even though they automatically paused on PS3 if you were playing online) because you could just pause the download, but somehow, we're 7 months into the console's life and we still can't even do that. :bang:
When I got my tax refund check this year, I bought my wife an iPad Air. She just started grad school and figured she could use it for school.
Recently, she quit her job to start working somewhere else and her old job is paying her for her leave time. She offered to buy me a PS4.
I declined. With no NCAA game out this year, I can wait. The money can be used elsewhere anyway.
Soulja,
I agree that it's not a necessity. There are not enough games that really click with me either. I have had a lot of issues with Netflix and stability. However, I am still loving the system. I have never bought a system day 1 and this time I did. I think I still smile every time I look at it... Even my wife enjoys it and she is a Nintendo girl.
Yeah, this has been way outside my norm this year. I got my original PlayStation as a surprise birthday present as a kid (I at first had no clue what the hell it was when I unwrapped it) and got it a couple years after release. I got my PS2 fat at least two years after release, with a PS2 slim later down the road at least a year after the slim had already come out.
Xbox had been out for a couple years before I got mine. The 360 had been out for 2-3 years before I got mine. So buying the Xbox One on release day and then buying the PS4 within 6 months from its release, this has been way outside the norm from my usual console buying practices.
But yet, I am 100% happy with both purchases.

Got a FREE PS4, a FREE second controller and a FREE copy of MLB The Show 14 today. All of it was a gift from one of the Limited Partners (ie Investors) in my business.
Business, obviously, is going great and this was an unexpected surprise. :)
Wow! That's awesome!
No such luck here.
Holy fuck! That's awesome! If you ever want to get a game of MLB in against each other, just let me know.

Yeah! I had no idea that was going to happen.
Congrats Steeler! That's the gift that keeps on giving.
While in at Gamestop today reserving my white PS4, the guy told me they're taking preorders for red, blue, camo, white, and gold DS4s. Maybe Amazon just doesn't have them all up yet, so if you want the red one, I'd say wait a bit and they should have them available to order soon.
Nice gift!

FYI - the new DS4s have 9/9/14 (white) and 9/30/14 (red and camo) release dates from Amazon.
It appears pre-loading is coming much much sooner than Destiny's release, as was previously announced.

Yeah I think Garden Warfare is in August, but that's really the only game much before Destiny.
I looked online and couldn't find the answer(and I'm pretty sure I know it anyway), so hopefully someone here knows for sure.
I'm going to go ahead and slap a 2TB hard drive in my PS4 this weekend as I'm already getting full and I have no desire to worry about deleting and downloading games all the time. Is there any way to backup the actual game files (not game saves, the actual 20GB+ games themselves) to an external drive or something so that I don't have to redownload 300GB+ of games when I install the new one?
I'm pretty sure that's a "no," but I can't seem to find a for sure answer anywhere.
Bought an external but I'm going to rip out the drive inside and use that as my internal drive on my PS4. As far as I know, there's no limit to the amount of storage...the limit is the fact that there's virtually no internal drives above 1.5TB that are small enough. The internal drive inside this however, is 9.5mm and will fit just fine.
Asked a guy in the know about external HDD support. He said TBA, will keep you posted.
That definitely sounds like good news.
Just wanted to confirm that:
A. There's no way to backup downloaded games. You just have to download them again. I figured as much, but oh well.
B. That drive I posted fits perfectly and once the system allocates it's necessary system files to the new drive, you end up with about 1.75TB of storage. It's also noticeably quicker to load certain things. Installation was as easy as can be, too. Just rip open the external casing, remove the adapter, and it's good to use in the PS4.
Should be set on storage for a good while now.
Good to know it works. Yeah I remember looking around and not seeing the backup and restore on the PS4. All game saves are saved to the cloud though right?

Yeah, understandable.

Are the Pulse headsets any good? Groupon has refurbished ones for $59.99

Anyone know how to call a time out with the PS4 controller used on a PS3 in NCAA? Before you say press start (options) and do it that way...it doesn't work apparently. The "call timeout" box is blacked out whenever I try that method.
I currently have to use my PS4 controller because my PS3 is a POS and makes me constantly try to pitch the ball when running and hitting no other button except the analog one to move. It's been like that since last year and same thing happened when playing Madden.
My 2nd controller to do this naturally. Also makes me pump fake when trying to pass on offense. Could try to fix it but it's under warranty and I'm sending it back. In mean time though I have to use my PS4 one.
Have you tried pressing in the touchpad on the PS4 controller? If not, how about the Share button?
As far as it being grayed out, it's probably only grayed out at a time when you can't call a timeout. It shouldn't gray out because of which controller you're using.
Tried them all.
I was in a situation with 14 seconds left at LOS in 4th quarter with time running down. Kept trying to call TO but it was blacked out everytime I hit pause. Tried for 10 seconds straight but it was the same each time. Had 3 TO's left.
None of the other buttons had any effect on anything really which I found out online. PS button doesn't do anything, neither does Share or touchpad. Options button is only one that works.
Read that when using a PS4 controller on PS3 you should keep a PS3 controller nearby to be able to exit a game. I tried to turn on my PS3 controller to call a TO but that didn't work and it was acting weird anyway.
Yeah the DS4 controllers don't work 100% for all games. I think what I did was use the DS3 to pause the game and call a time out so it basically just sets there on the coffee table for the rare times I still play the PS3.
I tried that before time expired but I couldn't even pause it. Only thing it would let me do is hit the PS button.
This the controller has to be the #1 controller or something. I will have to mess around with it.
That would be great except I'm not going to have the PS3 controller for a week or two since I have to send it off to be replaced.
Share calls a time out for me on NCAA.
Skip, I think you were just in an instance where you couldn't call timeout. If you had waited a half second or so, then Share and/or pausing the game probably would have worked... that or you were just out of timeouts and didn't realize it.
