Any of you guys tried stand bye mode (or whatever it is called)? i thought about it but the warning about unplugging/losing power scares the bejesus out of me so i just power it all the way down.

It'll download any updates automatically when in standby. It'll also charge your controller if it's plugged in. I, however, do not do it. Several of the people who had their systems brick had it freeze or go into standby mode, and then they unplugged it, which potentially caused the problem. I'm not taking the chance...when I'm done, I turn it off.
Yeah thats my take right now better be safe than sorry.Quote:

I just finished Knack. Really fun game that I will probably play through again.
I'm pretty sure it's like the Vita, no way to specify a certain time to turn on and download/update, which is disappointing. Agreed on the ability to pause downloads. It was the thing I immediately noticed. It downloads 5 at a time, too, which is just annoying because everything takes forever. No download list of past purchases is another odd oversight. Hopefully we'll get some of that functionality in an update.Quote:

P.S. Has anyone tried the voice command for ps4? I just saw it was a feature in one of the menus.
I just shut mine off when it's not in use.

After accepting a friend request, an error message popped up and the console basically went to the main page. Shortly thereafter, an error popped up when playing NFS Rivals and it kicked me back to the main page/hub. When trying to start a challenge in NFS Rivals, the game went into a soft freeze. After completely shutting down the system and restarting, I haven't run into any issues since.
In 2k I have had one game freeze and had to restart. Also, when trying to play 2k last night the game started to re-install. I excited and re-entered and all was fine. I'm not sure if this is ps4 or a 2k issue... probably 2k???Quote:

$9.99 per month. Has it been lagging for you? I swear I can never play a full song without it skipping or lagging. And I have very speedy internet. Also, the music selection compared to Spotify is definitely lower.Quote:

Last night I had no lags. It played really well for the most part. I have found the selection based on my tastes to be pretty strong. The wife was a big fan for a lot of songs & albums.Quote:

I watched a stream of Flower. It looks like an interesting game but I don't want to move the controller around like that.
So far so good. The only issue I have had is signing in on the 2k server. Just hung (twice) at "loading", but was not a system crash etc. I am 70+ games into a season. No issues with the dl games, AC4 or Killzone.Quote:

It's absolutely ridiculous that the rubber is already wearing out less than 2 weeks after launch (and I've barely even touched the thing since Xbox One launched) and it's asinine for a Sony rep to recommend me spending MORE money to fix THEIR screw up.
Considering there's other examples of this, it's a good thing to know you can get a replacement if anyone else ends up with the problem.
Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive now $89.99 on Amazon, normally $149.99. Great for upgrading PS4 HD.
Damn that is a good buy.
Yep good deal on that drive. It's easy to upgrade too.
First day with the PS4 back... couldn't let my score get knocked off for long.

Damn, that was quick. Did they just send you one or did they fix the one you sent in?
Sent me a different one I'm pretty sure. It was supposed to be just a week turn around but was closer to two.Quote:

2. The slow speed of the PS3 operating system. The 4 is instantaneous... ps3 is so, so, so slow

Can't get enough of this game. This is all I've been playing.

Anyone tried the "party" function yet???
I really like that updates download and install when I turn the machine on, rather than when I start the game that's being updated.
+1 Especially with the Madden rosters.Quote:
