Haha, that'll work!

Nah, thankfully I'm already a PS+ member so I'm currently downloading Resogun and Contrast. Not very interested in the latter one, but Resogun seems really cool. The connection here is painfully slow tho.
 
Just got my PS4 from Amazon yesterday. It didn't come with the $10 voucher, free month of PS+, or music unlimited code. Was Sony only including these in the initial batch or have I been shafted?

When can we expect a VEVO app? You’d think their would already be a VEVO app on PSN/SEN since Sony Music Entertainment co-owns VEVO.

So I can't find this answer anywhere, but is there any way to share a video I captured without uploading to facebook or twitter? I just want to email it to myself or download it to a usb. Is that possible? Same question with screeengrabs.

You can set your video to only be visible to you, then upload to Facebook (nobody will see it) - then use a downloader to download the HD mp4 and then you can edit/share how you like.
 
Do you guys think BF4 is worth it now? I am thinking of downloading it from the PSN store once it comes back online, I also have COD ghosts, which I enjoy, so do you recommend BF4?

BF4 is very good. Few problems on my end.

Aside from my campaign progress being reset, I've been having too much fun with the game.
 

Mh, was already available for me this weekend (Austrian account).
Comes with its own trophies, controls are not mindblowing as you simply control the UFO by tilting the controller, but the augmented reality is kinda nice (displays shadows and different lighting in your room etc.).


I didn't even search for it though, it was listed under related content when you highlight The Playroom in the XMB. (btw I like that you can see all offered DLC and DLC you downloaded for each game right in the main menu).

doublefine's Playroom game is out "My alien buddy"

How do we know this is from Double Fine? It doesn't seem quirky or unique enough. I guess I was expecting something more like Happy Action Theater (the Kinect thing they did).

Granted, I haven't played it yet. Just going from the description on the store.

Everytime I try to play CoD it keeps saying I need plus to play. I put a year in almost 2 weeks ago, what gives?

Edit oh it's been down this long? Fuck. Yeah don't get why people say this is as reliable as XBL. It's had lots of errors and downtime since launch.
 
Might just be me, but the Ustream shows seem infinitely less laggy then the twitch shows. The twitch streams have frame rate issues and the audio lags behind. Running a 65MB wired connection so I know its not me.

My PS4 is so weird when it plays Hulu Plus, there's a weird video stutter that goes on. Like its juttery and not smooth. Its not on the Netflix app, and its not on the Hulu Plus app thats for my TV. Pretty annoying since my Hulu Plus app for on my TV constantly crashes so we switch to PS4 usually.
 
Not sure where to ask this, Gaf, but I've hit a bit of a snag. I purchased BF4 on PS3 last night in order to take advantage of the next-gen upgrade. I've since downloaded BF4 to my PS4, but have done nothing in terms of the PS3 version (I'm now thinking that this could be the problem).

Anyway, there's a lock icon on the BF4 image and any attempt to launch into the game elicits a, 'only the license holder can access this game' or some such message.

Any idea what's going on here? Do I have to download and activate it on a PS3? Cheers, guys.

Try looking in PSN store...look in the apps section ..might get the free month of music. Likewise..try the PSN+ one month offer in PSN store as well...i believe i seen both in there.

As for the free 10 dollars...I did not get my PS4 at launch.i got mine via walk-in on Black Friday at gamestop midnight. I got all three codes with mine. I mention this because some have stated that offer was only for pre-orders..strange

Nobody ruins my family vacation but me...and maybe the boy!
Did anyone else's HDMI link just stop working?

I was going to use my TV remote to control the Blu Ray that I was watching but it just wouldn't work, not even in the menus. The weird thing is, it was working great just a few weeks ago. I have a Panasonic VT30 if that helps :/

I'm not sure if it's because of the 1.52 update....

I bought Doki Doki Universe and it was telling me the same thing. I managed to get it working by logging in and out from holding the PS button. Maybe that might work?

I had the same lock issue with Pinball Arcade when I bought it last week. But as mentioned logging in and out of your PS profile solved the problem.

It is a weird bug, as even shutting down the PS4 did not resolve the issue.

No, you don't - I did he same as you (bought but not downloaded on Ps3 to unlock the PS4 upgrade), and Bf4 worked fine for me.
