Yeah, I thought that was lame as well. You also need a facebook account to use a custom avatar. I just created a dummy facebook and linked PS4 to that. I HATE all this social networking integration.

Publishers need to/probably will find good uses for it. I like the trophy updates. How about setting up other milestones/achievements/checkpoints/whatever that trigger something different in the feed? Like when somebody gets their 100th assist in MyCareer on NBA 2k. Or when you clear a level on Knack. Or when one of your friends busts another one of your friends on Need For Speed? I like that Resogun sometimes posts "...completed 10 levels" or whatever.Along that route, the 'activity stream' is pretty lame IMO. If it allowed comments it would be improved, but it gets old seeing that UserX played GameY in 80+% of the stream....and the only interaction is to give a thumbs up.
That feed should make me want to play the games that my friends are playing. Just telling me that they're playing it doesn't really do that.
+1Like Stan, I would use the in-game video feature but I do not want to put it on Facebook. It's one of the reasons I purchased the elgato for video. I'd rather Facebook have as little of my info as possible.
I don't (completely) mind putting photos on Twitter, but would rather be able to share with friends like HAM said. I'm hopeful a future firmware update adds that and am disappointed/perplexed they went the current route.

My thoughts exactly.

4.2 million > 3.0 million. Also, who was claiming there weren't several million PS4s out there around Christmas (hint its the guy that is ALWAYS wrong) Just sayin'

I don't remember claiming there weren't "several million PS4s," either. The only thing I remember saying is that I had a hard time believing it sold 300,000+ or whatever it was the week of Christmas in North America considering you can't even find any in stores. That was more of a shot against you posting an article from people who are well known for making up numbers as opposed to doubting the PS4's success.
The dude abides.
IOU he was for the XB1 before he was against it.
Okay, so you're still wrong? They announced that they had sold 2.1 million consoles on December 3. Between December 3 and December 28, they sold an additional 2.1 million to bring the total to 4.2 million. Several is 3 or more, so unless 2 is somehow > 3, you're still wrong.IOU he was for the XB1 before he was against it.
I should also point out that the 2.1 total is for December 3 to December 28. You said several million received them on Christmas, and I said in the part you quoted me, that simply did not happen. They didn't even sell "several" million the entire month of December let alone during Christmas.

You presume that each and every console bought is opened immediately eh? I can assure you that is not the case. My nephew's PS4 was purchased at launch and sat in a box (excluding the time needed for me to format the new 1TB HDD I got him just before Christmas). I am willing to bet a large % of launch day/initial sales were Xmas presents that were not opened until Christmas.Okay, so you're still wrong?

3 million+ PS4s were out in the wild on Christmas as Sony had sold them contrary to your previous statement quoted above.
In sum, you lose (again).

I guess this does me no good since I still live in the land of 1.5 DSL. However I find it nice to be able to stream PS4 games to my Vita while laying my lazy butt in Bed.
Now what would make me happy would be if I could stream my ps3 games to my ps4 just using my network.
What you said about selling several million units during Christmas is blatantly wrong. Sony did NOT sell "several million" PS4s during Christmas like you said. Were there several million units sold through before Christmas? Absolutely, but that's not what you said.You presume that each and every console bought is opened immediately eh? I can assure you that is not the case. My nephew's PS4 was purchased at launch and sat in a box (excluding the time needed for me to format the new 1TB HDD I got him just before Christmas).

Being the lawyer that you are, you're good at twisting words around to make you seem right, but you're still wrong. You've done the same thing on every issue we've discussed. You made it seem that I said the Xbox One would outsell the PS4, even though I've clearly said the opposite since they were first announced. You said games wouldn't be required to be online and some already are. You said online passes would be abolished and they aren't. Just because you twist your words around and throw up your little "clw and iou" scoreboard doesn't make me forget what you and I said. You've literally been wrong on every single thing we've talked about so far.
Now what would make me happy would be if I could stream my ps3 games to my ps4 just using mu network.
You can buy the coverage from the PS Store at anytime into your ownership of the PS4 right? I want to get 3 years but wait closer to the end of this first year with the system.

I thought you had to buy it in the first 30 days.
- Who is eligible to purchase these new service plans?
- The PlayStation® Protection Plans are available for purchase by customers who are still within their original one-year limited warranty. Accidental Damage Plans are available to anyone who has purchased a system in the past 30 days.
