You're only getting 0.3048 days, due to the metric system.Quote:

I checked out one video on repairing a PS4 controller, but it didn't seem to address the issue I am having. For now, I went and picked up another controller.
As you know, I was having similar issues last night on Battlefront. I wasn't sure if it was lag at first but then I had the same issues in the PS4 menus. Today, it's fine so I'm not sure what to think.Quote:

I think it's time to buy a new one at Walmart, clean up a broken one, exchange the broken one and repeat until I have all good controllers.
I can always use one of my daughter's two controllers if I HAVE to but her's have Hello Kitty skins and I'll feel like some perv that would play the Hanna Montana game if I had to resort to that. :(
On a related note, I saw some people claiming that DS4s can be used (wirelessly) with a PS3. Does anyone know if that is true?
If it were, I'd be more likely to move my PS3 from my daughter's bedroom to the living room and play some serious NCAA 14. As it stands now, I only have one functioning DS3 as all the others appear to have dead batteries.
Just curious if anyone can confirm this.
Yes... it's true. I've not made the switch but I know others have. It doesn't work with certain games but it does with NCAA.Quote:

I had a controller the other day that wasn't responding well but no issues since (I hope).
Sony really needs to change their stance on pre-ordering games. The whole, "no refunds in the US unless where laws apply" is a foolish way to do business. I understand that once the game is released that a no-refund rule is fine. It's before the game has released and you have not been provided goods is where my issue lies. Pre-ordered Far Cry Primal, watched videos of the gameplay and did not want to play Far Cry Primal anymore. Took like 3 different tries and a couple weeks to get a refund to my PSN Wallet, which is where the funds came from in the first place. I honestly can't think of another company that does this with pre-orders. What part of PRE is confusing? For once I am jealous of Europe where they do not have to put up with this and can cancel a pre-order on the consoles, thanks to stricter anti-consumer laws.
Sony really needs to get more consumer friendly in many areas. Wi-fi speeds, the ability to change a PSN ID, external storage, Dashboard UI issues a mile long, the ability to appear offline and on and on and on...
Cool, thanks buddy!Quote:

Firmware 3.5 beta starts tomorrow, here is what's included:
Our beta program for PS4’s next major system software update, codenamed Musashi (or 3.50 if you prefer numbers), kicks off on 2nd March. If you signed up for the beta and were selected, keep an eye on your email for instructions on downloading.
Regardless of whether you’re in the beta, we wanted to detail some of the key features we’re adding to PS4 in this update. We’re making it easier to connect and play together with friends and the wider community, as well as introducing some much requested features.
- Friend Online Notification – Want to know the moment your friends come online? With this update, you can, as we’ve added an option to be notified when members of your friends list sign in on the network. Notifications can be tailored to certain friends.
- Appear Offline – Sometimes you want to play a game or watch a movie without being interrupted. Now it’s easier to go incognito as we’ve added the option to appear offline. You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile or the Quick Menu.
- User Scheduled Event – Now it’s easier to organise a game session. We’ve added the ability to schedule a future gameplay session with your friends on the system. When your event starts, users who registered for the event will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right away.
- Remote Play (PC/Mac) – We’re bringing PS4 Remote Play to Windows PC and Mac. This feature won’t be available to test in the beta, but you can look forward to it soon.
- Dailymotion, new service partner in Share feature – Dailymotion, an additional live streaming service, will become available for PS4 users to enhance their broadcast experience. Like other live streaming services available on PS4, users will enjoy the following features: Activity Feed, What’s New Broadcast Info Tile, Live Detail and Live from PlayStation.
If you’re in the beta, please download the software and let us know what you think. Stay tuned for more details on 3.50, including its release date.
Good stuff there.
How do y'all like the update?
It's nothing too different in regards to regular day to day playing.
Some good news that was LONG overdue...
PlayStation Network getting two-factor authentication, Sony confirms
That is good news.
There is a report that the PlayStation Neo will be unveiled September 7 at an event in New York.
Surprised we haven't seen a price cut on the ps4 over here. The xbox one deals are very good right now. The original system is $100 cheaper plus games. Sony must still be killing it at retail.
I've seen deals on Newegg for $299.99 USD.Quote:

Going digital this year, but only if don't have to wait 2 days to download from the 23rd after release.
Jaymo, how have your psn download times been lately? Mine have been garbage. Doom was big bit took a day to download! Patches are slow. No man's sky is going to take half an hour at least.
I have a decent upload/download through Shaw. PSN times are usually pretty good (outside of Madden and 2k). I'm not sure how long No Man's Sky took as it pre-downloaded. However, it's a small file so it should be under 20 minutes.Quote:

It's a 40% increase for Canadians since they never price adjusted their subscription as our dollar fell. We've been at $50 and now it's $70! Just bought a Costco card for $46 so that will give me a lot more. I think I'm up in December or January.
I think I'm up this January too. I loaded up on deals early on when the PS4 came out and haven't had to renew yet :DQuote:

Same here. If it was still the same as in the past, just a way to get a couple dree fames and some sales, I'd dump it in a heartbeat. But since Sony went the route of big bad MS and made it mandatory for online play and other services, I have no choice but to keep it active.Quote:
