PS4 Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

i just realized how at the gate i figured i'd just get a ps4 and killzone to start off.

i now realize i have a ps4, killzone, knack, battlefield 4 (free with amazon b1g1), 30 day ps+, 12 month ps+, $10 store credit, 30 day music pass. not to mention ps3 crossover, f2p and PS+ games. all with launch day free shipping and no taxes on amazon.

woof. i feel like a prince.

Seriously, is everyone from SCEWWS attending the launch?

Probably a launch party for the Sony people as well. Who knows.

if I put a usb stick filled with .mp4 files in the ps4 will It be able to play the videos?

I know some multimedia stuff is missing at launch so it would be nice to know.

No one knows yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they only allow Sony store movies to be played.

You can use your smartphone or tablet in combination with the PlayStation App for text input.

Alternatively, you can 'point' the DualShock 4 at letters/characters. (I doubt that's faster, but, hey, who knows?)

its much faster as you can see when the keyboard is up, although I cheat with using History too ;) (real time speed)

What are your impressions of browser? Give us moar info. How does it handle large gifs? Can we save images into off-line gallery? How does it handle heavier pages that are not in "mobile" mode [Verge]?
 
Uh...

Rychlý výlet do Německa?

Mluvim trochu Cestina. Tenhle vylet je pro nitz, protoze cesky ceny je same na nemecky. Ten Autobus jizdenku je tisic koruna. Tak budu smutny muz pro dva tyden

I guess you're not living anywhere near any border ?

It's about 3 hours to Dresden by bus, but the cost of going there is high enough that it makes sense to wait 2 weeks, It is painful waiting though.

When are we getting game reviews?
I am hoping soon because still have not decided on a game to get at launch. Want to see the NFS and killzone reviews. Those are the 2 games I am interested in. Not into the competitive shooters like BF or COD. I tried the first AC and hated it so not much else out there for me. Maybe there will be some gem out there I did not think of but the reviews will sell me on it.

Soon...

Soon this thread will be filled with "my order's shipped!!!" posts and pics of expected delivery times, sprinkled with the "so jelly!" of European (and other) posters.

I am excite.

Billion dollar question. It's one of the reasons the 3 isn't being shipped to the bedroom until the reports come back from the US launch.

One thing I do know - anything ripped from a Sony/Columbia BD (not sure if it works on DVDs) won't work as I would imagine Cinavia will be built into the PS4 already.

Top 9 best sellers in videogames for Amazon atm is all PS4 games. First X1 game shows up at #31 and is DR3.

Heck even Destiny for the PS4 is now #33 and that was usually down in the 80's and 90's up till now.

Sign of things to come? PS4 hype train building? Nothing can stop it?

Oh, and witness Knack @ #4 AHEAD OF CALL OF DUTY! lol.

For anyone in Ireland, Sony's apparently doing a 'PS4 Rooms' at No. 10 Stephen's Green, from Nov 20:

http://www.clickonline.com/games/get-early-access-to-the-ps4-in-dublin/21059/

You'll find the PS4 Rooms at No. 10, St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2 - open from the 20th of November to the 8th of December. 14 PS4s will be found inside, running titles like Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack, DRIVECLUB and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

I believe they're doing something similar in central London.

That's wild, though it's significance depends on how much it changes 4 days before the XB1 launch.

These are hourly based sales, really just reflective of what's going on right now. Best sales for 2013 is more apt but the highest selling software is killzone and that's at 99 last time I checked.

Lineup for the review event from Greg Miller:

I am suprised to see that Child of Light is there. Hopefully that means we see some more footage soon.
 
Are all of those playable? If so then i'm definitely looking forward to hearing about Ground Zeroes, inFamous, Child of Light and Dying Light.

While most PS4 stuff was already pretty far ahead, the numbers went higher all of a sudden because of the B1G1 codes Amazon sent out yesterday. Just like it'll probably go even higher when the official B2G1 starts tomorrow.
