Glad this was put to rest by Yoshida. Hopefully people can move on from this and focus on stuff that matters.
double the battery life matters.

You don't have a PS4 do you? When turning the controller off in Netflix the video pauses.
I wonder why they are being so stubborn about this.
It's OCD that I don't want a giant blue reflection on my TV when I'm using the PS4?
Disappointing. It's really bright too when watching Netflix/Prime with the lights off.
It's a flimsy use case but it's used to gauge your health in Killzone.

Also anally retentive
They can't just flip a switch to turn off the light, the console was built around it.
Black electrical tape since day one, what light bar?
sony is going to release a non-lightbar version of the ds4
i think someone else said that its not as easy as this...its shared power with some other components? could be wrong...trying to find that thread someone posted.
The only thing I can think of is that there's some sort of core functionality tied to it? I honestly don't know because people on here have already said that they've covered the light with electrical tape and apparently that doesn't cause problems.
Am I the only one who can't see this while playing? Even if I look down, I have to tilt the controller to see the color. Kinda hard to do while playing.
I guess I need to sit closer to the TV so I can see the reflection on the screen. lol.
Put the controller in a drawer, under a desk, sofa or chair?
Are people actually doing this?? I'd hate to have all that adhesive gunk on my controller.Dumb, it glares so much that I put electrical tape over it already.
Let's hope Titanfall kicks Sony in the pants, then.Because their launch success has already gone to their head. Didn't take long for PS2-era mentality to creep back in.
It shines through and still reflects off the tv?
That's nuts.
Unfortunately, in my case, my TV is eye level. When I game on my couch, I like to sit back and relax and have my arms on my lap so the damn lightbar shows up on the bottom parts of my TV. The controller is not flat unless I sit straight up and kinda aim the controller down.Also, like i've said previously, I think the people having a problem with the light on the TV is because of how you hold the controller. Set the Dualshock on a flat surface...the light actually points DOWN.
At least for me, when I play, I don't keep my elbows and the controller tilted up. So the light has always pointed downwards for me, and never been an issue.
Please make that happen Sony... please!If they really wanted to, they could release a software/firmware update that allows the led to be off and only turn on when the PS4 detects the camera to be plugged in.
YUP
My TV is low and glossy and my room is small so I have to sit pretty close. It's a shitstorm for reflections from the controller and I mentally can't block out reflections. My eye just focuses on them.
Turn the controller off?

Everybody should know about this. It absolutely does work and I bet pretty much nobody knows about it.You can fix that by holding the PS button and then backing out of the menu, then press X while still holding the button down and eventually the controller will turn off

Between this and the other thread, you're really working overtime on the hyperbole.Because their launch success has already gone to their head. Didn't take long for PS2-era mentality to creep back in.

Is it possible the design hardware wise just doesn't allow for it and they don't want to admit it? I've always felt they initially intended to follow MS in having a camera in every box and their odd stance on the lightbar has always had me thinking maybe the just didn't include and physical element to turn it off that could be controlled via the OS.
I mean if it could be turned off and given most games don't seem to need it (unless I'm missing something) then why wouldn't hey allow it and continue to look all consumer friendly vs flat out refusing?
Because for some people Sony is always right and pretending the contrary is heresy.I dont understand why they wont offer and option AND people defend them not offering an option.
Are they constantly using the controller while watching netflix?
put the damn thing down and turn it away from the tv....
if you turn the controller off while watching Netflix it pauses the video
