PlayStation 4 - Questions & General Comments on Console

[SmoothPancakes]

While I've been bitching about The Show for awhile now, if you haven't played the last 4 or 5 versions, you're in for a treat. I'm sure you've probably seen the images for the PS4 version already, but some of them are truly jaw dropping.

Plus, if you like open world games, inFAMOUS Second Son comes out tomorrow and while the other 2 games had flaws, they were both fun and great time killers.

Hell, if you do your taxes online (there's tons of places to do them for free) with direct deposit, it takes less than 10 days most of the time. PS4 by the end of March? Sounds good to me. I know a bunch of stores are getting fresh stock in late next week or next weekend, so that's perfect timing! The only bad thing, if it's like it is around here (a small area nonetheless), they'll all be gone within a couple of days. I've never seen something sell out so consistently fast almost 6 months after launch. Truly unbelievable.

Well, I'll definitely be in a for a treat then, because I've never actually played any version of The Show. The only MLB games I've ever played was the old MVP series on PS2 and then MLB 2K on 360. So it would be my first foray into The Show series. And based on the pictures I saw posted in The Show thread, fucking amazing.

As for the taxes, unfortunately it's the old paper version. My dad has done accounting stuff for years (works for ADP right now as head of a team that goes around from client to client, so he's usually jetting around the country every week from Sunday or Monday to Friday or Saturday) and has handled all of the tax stuff in the family (my taxes, my sister's taxes, his/my mom's taxes, etc) for as long as I can remember. He's damn good at finding every deduction he can and getting the maximum return possible.

It works, but he insists on doing it all via paper instead of online, which means by the time it gets mailed in, gets reviewed, etc., and the money is sent via direct deposit, it's a couple week wait for the money to show up. I think last year he didn't get around to do taxes until the last weekend before the 15th and I didn't see the money until the second week of May or so. He's already done the taxes for him and my mom, did them this past weekend, so I'm hoping he'll be able to sit down and get my taxes knocked out this weekend and then I could possibly see the money by mid or late April.

As for availability, I actually should be good. I just pulled up Gamestop, the 8 closest stores to me by miles, 5 (including the store right here in town) show PS4 in stock, the other three show it in stock but with low stock. And I remember them having a good supply of PS4s in the store when I went in and picked up Titanfall last week. Walmart.com also shows PS4s in stock at the store in my town as well. So I should be good there when I eventually get around to buying a PS4. There doesn't seem to be too big a rush on the PS4 here in town, and it'll be at least a month before I actually get a chance to buy one, by which time any rush will have (or at least should have) declined even more by then.

Love the fact that you don't have to download the entire game in order to play a digital title. I only had to download ~6GB of the 22GB Infamous: Second Son before I could start playing.

PS4 Demand to Outstrip Supply Until the Summer

Andrew House admits the company is "struggling" to keep up with demand.

Quit shipping so many to Japan. That place is dead console wise. I can't believe Microsoft actually intends to ship there later this year. I really don't see the point.

1. Backwards compatibility!!!!!!!!!
2. Totally agree with FOLDER AVAILABILITY rather than the long linear list...

[I OU a Beatn]

The suspend/instant resume feature they touted before launch would be nice. Navigation is going to be pretty awful once you start accumulating a bunch of installed games. Folders/Sort options are a must.

Infamous: Second Son Causes UK PS4 Sales to Double

As it enters the chart in pole position.

And it still only sold about half of what Titanfall did on a console with a smaller install base. Hey, Sony, take the hint: DEVELOP SOME FUCKING ONLINE SHOOTERS THAT DON'T SUCK.

Sony don't listen to this XBox troll. Keep on doin' what your doin. We don't want the "bros" on the superior console.

The Xbox troll who has 2 PS4s? I love your logic.

The Last of Us will be coming to PS4.

[I OU a Beatn]

It was a matter of when, not if. Hopefully Grand Theft Auto 5 does the same.

That's what I have been hoping for as well.

I'll probably buy this bad boy again and trade in my PS3 version.

Someone at Sony fucked up:



I will absolutely be double dipping. I can't wait to see what it looks like.

Yeah even if its just a straight port with graphical improvements with all of the DLC (Tomb Raider) I'll probably buy it and play through it again as well.

[JBHuskers]

I never bought the DLC, and assume it will be included here, so I'm definitely in.
