Playstation 4

So is it my Surround Sound that started doing that or my TV?

I thought it was some feature between the Sony PS3 and my Sony Tv

You turned on HDMI control in the system menu on your Playstation that's the only way it'll work

So you can apparently play your PS4 games on another persons PS4 by simply logging in.

I probably wouldn't use it but that's still a very nice feature.

PS4 allows for access to digital game library from any console (correction)
By Samit Sarkar on Jul 10, 2013 at 2:19p @SamitSarkar

The PlayStation 4 will allow users to sign in to their PlayStation Network account on any PS4 console for quick access to their entire digital library, said Sony engineer Neil Brown during the Develop conference today, Official PlayStation Magazine U.K. reports.

"You can visit your friend's house, you can log into your account and play any game from your digital library," said Brown, a senior engineer in the research and development department at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

The cloud-based game library functionality sounds similar to a feature Microsoft originally announced for Xbox One, but nixed when it reversed the console's DRM policies after E3 last month. The key differentiating factor is that that feature would have supported disc-based games. The Xbox One still supports this feature for digital titles tied to your Xbox Live account.

Brown pointed out that such a feature isn't very useful if users have to download an entire game on a different console in order to start playing. That won't be required on PS4, according to Brown: Users will be able to begin the download and, at a certain point, start playing "at least the first section of the game" while the download continues in the background.

"This makes a digital library a practical option in the real world," he added. It's unclear if this applies only for PS4 games purchased from the PlayStation Store, or if it also includes disc-based titles registered to your PSN account. The PlayStation 3 currently allows a maximum of two consoles to be authorized per PSN account.

The system also means that players won't have to wait for a disc-based game to be installed to the PS4 hard drive before they can play it — "the game will launch as soon as the disc has been put in the drive," said Brown. The console will continually install the game in the background while you play, which means that "after the first few minutes, your game can rely on having faster read speeds from the hard drive."

We've reached out to Sony for more details on the functionality, and will update this article with any information we receive.

Correction: The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 already support a cloud-based library with games purchased from the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store, respectively, although Sony limits the number of PS3 consoles on which accounts can be authorized. We've edited the story above to reflect this.

I ordered it on June 11. i should get a launch console right?

 

[Dylan]

Why do you guys think the odds of getting a MGSV bundle like the gun metal PS3 are?

If you ordered on Amazon they didn't have any more launch consoles available.

 

[Centurion]

Yup, only Standard Editions are left and who knows when those will be available...

It seems BestBuy is still accepting preorders but not sure if those are guaranteed at launch.

Odds are high, although i dont know about a customized PS4 or anything

 

[Hidden Jitsu]

What is so special about the launch console and just a normal console?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

You get one at launch rather than having to wait

Well unless it is 100% Christmas release i'm not bothered.
I wonder if HMV will be giving away free sony TV'S like they did with the PS3 launch in London.

 

[batfan08]

Order a standard one. I ordered one, when I found out that the launch one was sold out, and, a week later, Amazon informed me that they were upgrading my order to a launch day edition. If it doesn't upgrade, you can always cancel or keep it, but I feel that it's worth it to give it a shot, anyway.

 

[Centurion]

That's awesome! Congrats batfan!

Is anyone concerned with overheating of the PS4?

I'm fed up with the 3 red rings of the X360 and I'm a bit nervous about investing in the next generation (PS4 and X1). The smaller housing of the PS4 has me concerned.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

Dunno it has a mega ton of vents in the back. Besides Sony learned from the original batch of PS3s

gonna pre-order mine tomoro, i asked the guy last time what game bundles they had. Everygame he listed i was completly uninterested in, but to be fair most were the most popular titles. COD, Killzone and Fifa

 

[Centurion]

Yeah, I need to have Shadowfall.

The XBOX One is made by the same team who did the Slim 360.

I trust the small size of the PS4 is a good thing, means we might have an external PSU and with the vents it'll mostly stay cool.

I have a launch day ps4 preordered with gamestop...also have assassins creed 4, watchdogs, and diablo 3 for the ps4....
