Exactly. Not only does it NOT void the warranty, Sony gives you instructions on their web site on how to do it, and load the OS so the thing will run. Just he same as the PS3. It was one of the first things I did to my PS3, because I could, and I wanted more than just the default 60GB space (at the time I bought it). I actually use the old 60GB HD as removable storage for my PC using a USB enclosure.Zachary Amaranth said:
Setting up remote play at this time. Fingers crossed!Milanezi said:
Hope mine works good. I'll have the kids use the PS3 that still sits next to the PS4 for Netflix. Might reduce wear and tear.FloodOne said:
I didn't get Don't Starve! Maybe I had to sign up in time and did not? Outlast is downloading now.Lightknight said:
Rats. At least I see it around alot on Steam. I can get it eventually.Severian said:
I will be taking some time off as well. Hopefully, not too many chores to keep me from taking full advantage of the time to play this. I have to get Killzone ASAP. I can believe it the prettiest console out there. DC Universe scares me. A Free to play MMORPG? Doesn't it do multi gig update everytime you start it?srm79 said:
A best buddy of mine laughed at me and said I was like him: I could come up with a dozen reasons not to do something, and then do it anyway. It is that way with PS4. I can tell you why you should wait. Mostly, the PS3 is so far from played out. Then I got a PS4 anyway. This thing is a pleasure. I don't own a yacht or a Harley or a snow mobile or go on golfing vacations in Florida. Gaming is my thing, and as things go, this is pretty cheap. It's a frivolous pleasure, and I'm enjoying it.FootloosePhoenix said:
Nope, I just stuck it in, you will need to download the firmware to a usb stick and then install it from there. There is a certain way to format the stick for the update to work, but other than that it was pretty simple.FizzyIzze said:
Interesting, I thought that the instant game category simply kept the last twelve months of games, regardless. Is resogun still available? I still see them all there but I had PS+ from a year ago (the PS3 and Vita games made it well worth it the moment I ran into a couple of games I was going to buy anyways).Gorfias said:
It looks really good. Truly beautiful scenery. There's a few things here and there that remind us that this isn't as good as it can get but it's a significant step forward. Regarding the problems, I'm namely referring to an issue the game has with collision detection. You'll the occasional object phase through the floor or a door at times. It's not all the time but noticeable when something like an insulin shot phases beneath the floor and just out of reach. But sometimes views of the city and other environments is simply draw dropping. If this is only the start of this generation then this is a VERY exciting place to start.
Destiny looks pretty darn good. I'm still interested in learning just how "MMO" it is. As for exclussives, I'm looking most forward to inFamous. I loved the first two (particularly the second one). It's one of the few times I can easily admit that the sequel was better. Uncharted 2 was also better than 1 so I'm excited about whatever the followup is.
See, I don't doubt I'm going to have to go back to my PS3 on occasion. I didn't play Infamous 2, and you write it is even better than 1. I'll get to it. I bet Gamestop has it cheap.Lightknight said:
Yes, inFamous 2 was definitely better in a lot of ways. Your moral status makes a big difference too. I don't know if I'd play the full game a second time but definitely reload your last save just before the end-game and get yourself to the other moral side to see the other ending (or just youtube it like I did with bioshock 1 and 2). Part of my frustration with inFamous 1 was that none of my choices mattered. This is an extremely polished sequel.Gorfias said:
I checked the PS+ list for Don't Starve and it isn't there anymore but Resogun is.
Yes, they appear to have been putting the PS+ money directly into their network. All downloads have been going a LOT faster lately. I downloaded a 5gb game and it took less than an hour. That may not sound particularly good but before 100MBs could take hours. I remember an update that was around that which actually ruined a party night we had planned. We had to go bowling and let me tell you, to us, bowling is the very last option for when you don't have anything better to do.
Well, back when I got my PS+ subscription over a year ago, I got every PS+ exclusive for the previous 12 months. Basically, every month the game that was released in that month of the previous year gets cycled out.
For PS4?Lightknight said:
I tried Metro Last Light. I have it for PC using a HD 7970 and, while it looks nice but as if we were watching it with vaseline over the screen, thats still darn good considering you can get a PS3 for about $250 and my video card cost me $550 a few years ago.
Yeah, it was still there as of last night while the other two indie games were gone.Gorfias said:
That's rough, I got a 7970 in December for $94 on a Best Buy clearance shelf. I got a 7950 too for a friend for $76.
Yeah, but don't hold your breath. It took around 4 years to get there on the PS3. Though, I'm sure some of that time was due to the PS3 being specifically difficult to develop for whereas this is an x86 machine so unlocking its potential should be a lot more viable as the engines get produced.
So, the mere presence of shooters on a console makes you so unhappy that you are discouraged from buying the console? I could understand the absence of games you like disuading you but not the presence of games you dislike. It does you no harm for them to exist so that's a strange statement. Perhaps you can clarify? As things stand, it sounds like other people being happy makes you unhappy and that can't be what you meant. Hopefully.Folksoul said:
Cool! I'll look for it again tonight. It looks very cool.Lightknight said:
WOW! I'd pick it up for that too! I don't begrudge you getting a great deal. It's still in the $300 range at New Egg last time I looked. 1 thing I've learned, Electronics is never a hurry. Things come down in price over time.
That's pretty good too! I'll have to look around Best Buy for this kind of thing! Maybe they don't know what they're doing? Good for consumers! About the best deal of seen is $95 for an HD 7770.
I think they will at least hit their stride by around 2015. Really, really push the envelope, as Last of Us did for PS3? That does usually come toward the end of a generation.
I assume it's people who mostly want to go download only, but the PS4 allows you to start playing downloadable games after about 40 seconds, so I see no issue with deleting games if you fill up the 500GBmichael87cn said:
There's also several free to play titles if you care at all about those things. I don't.Gorfias said:
Oops! 7870 Ghost, not 7970. Sorry, big price difference. Still though, I regret having not purchased the second one to crossfire them. The one for the friend was a 7850. Man, what a difference 1 digit makes.
Hmm, maybe. Games that came out now were in production for a year or more before launch So games for 2015 are in development now or will be in development sometime this year. I'd believe that games being developed in 2015 are in their stride but not necessarily being released then.
Some things like the HDD aren't going to have a compatibility issue. Changing the HDD to an SSD would only improve performance and a Hybrid would do the same without compromising the storage space as much.michael87cn said:
