As stated in my earlier post, don't expect an email for shipping notification until at least today in the afternoon.
I literally just got my email confirming so. Preordered from BB. You guys should be getting an email soon I would think.

Hi everyone,
A quick update. I have been informed that the shipping notification and tracking information are not updated in real time. So, if you haven't received a notification or your status has not changed, does not mean that your order/shipping is at a standstill. Things are really happening behind the scenes!
Hope this helps!

can someone briefly explain a company's reasoning behind the pre-order model ?
I understand small companies with limited resources, but I mean a big company like Sony or Microsoft obviously don't have problems getting their products out there anywhere anytime in the world, so then why do they put us through this pre order process like it's absolutely mandatory ?
dub.g
11-14-2013, 04:48 PM
^ because no matter how big the company is and how many people you hire to do labour assembling these consoles/products, they can only produce so much supply.. especially when their providing the entire north america
that or they purprosely holding off supply to create more demand which is what conspiracy theorist thought of when the Wii was on limited run for almost 2 years after it came out..
anyone else going to an EB store to pick up their pre order console tonight? im going to richmond center

And yet, if MS had built something that wobbled or the HDMI port was straight out of the back of a 10 year old CRT TV, everyone would bash the shit out of it. But because the PS4 is a hundred bucks cheaper its okay...
Don't know about you but I would have paid that extra 100 bucks just so I know it wasn't made out of literally the worst components just to undercut another competitors price.

A thousand bucks would have killed the Playstation haha
It is nice to have quality and I hope they get these issues figured out, it doesn't seem like a faulty hdmi port or adding more stability to the bottom would be an expensive fix. To me Sony has always been the company that has amazing products if you're willing to pay for the top of the line, but when it comes to the cheaper stuff then other companies have a better bang for the buck.
xbox fans just jelly of ps4 and their promos.

Yourself and a lot of the others here might, but the general population is a bunch of cheap fucks who don't understand anything about technology. Everyone bitched about how much the PS3 cost compared to the 360, even though the PS3 came with more features and the base 360 was basically a castrated console.
I honestly don't give a fuck if they cheap out a bit on parts that don't matter like the case, hell even the HDMI port doesn't get unplugged very often in most cases. IMO Sony has usually been ahead of the curve when it comes to their hardware so I'll wait til the XB1 launches to see how the quality compares.
Either way, so long as neither of them burn someones house down or have a 25% failure rate they'll be ahead of the 360.

Slow morning at the office, so I popped by Futureshop Robson, they had plenty of units in stock for regular sale for anyone looking, no one was even there, maybe 10 other people in the store, in and out in 5 mins. Not much of a gamer but I guess I should buy a game or something now haha

To me Sony has always been the company that has amazing products if you're willing to pay for the top of the line, but when it comes to the cheaper stuff then other companies have a better bang for the buck.
Going on an off topic tangent here (sorry guys) but I've always found Sony is willing to charge more because people think that their products are worth the premium. I used to be a big Sony fan (and I do still buy some of their products) but the quality just isn't worth the extra cost when it comes to a lot of their linups. I currently own a very expensive Sony prosumer film camera and, in hindsight, it was one of the worst purchases I've made in the recent past. It was a spur-of-the-moment, necessary purchase at the time to replace an older camera, but looking back I paid about $3000 more for this thing than I should have, and it came with fewer options than it's Canon, Panasonic and RED alternatives.
All that said, for a piece of equipment that will sit on your shelf and will likely only be touched when you first hook it up and never again, who cares if the HDMI port is a little flimsy or the case isn't made of a single piece of brushed aluminium. I'll still buy one eventually, though I'll have to wait until I can bring it to a friends place who has better download speeds than I. :lol

manage to pick up my 2nd one this morning for my brother at futureshop bridgeport.. they had 35 units for none pre order..
it seems the PS Eye is selling out quick.. i dont know why considering its no where near close to what kinect can do, and even then hand gestures were neve that intuitive to begin with
installing the game is really really quick.. BF4 only took like couple of minutes until it hit half way installing..
Seems like a few locations still have some, my buddies got stuck with a doa/blue light of death.
what happened with his console? was it straight out of the box faulty? maybe its the faulty hdmi same as kotaku since they got blue light right away as soon as they boot up the first time..

If you're still looking for one, has anyone tried the non-traditional places for consoles (Wal-mart to an extent, Staples, The Source, Superstore, London Drugs etc?)
It looks to me as if you can find a console in the city at 399 if you looked around given all of the advertisements from said stores. I can't believe that people are selling it for 600 on CL.

ya must be faulty hdmi
the ps4 will ring up blue light until it turns white when it finally detects signal from hdmi to tv.... from the kotaku video, they would boot up the ps4 and it will go into blue light, blink couple of times then turns off on itself..
Ifixit has given a warning that the hdmi port is indeed shoddy so careful for those hooking it up

Yeah the remote is really comfortable, doesn't feel big and clunky like i thought it would.
Im loving the system and Killzone so far, I have not experienced any loading, other than installing the game which took literally 15 seconds. The system is soooo fast. Everything is fluid. I'm looking forward to the next update when they slowly roll out the other features.
Gonna hold off on buying the camera, the voice commands aren't worth it so far.

Likewise, I was a devoted fan to Sony during the PS1 and 2 days. However, the last go round I switched over I became a Xbox fan mainly because of the controller. I took a leap of faith with the fixing of the analog and trigger and although I've only had it in my hand for all but 5 mins, I'm really loving the feel so far.

11-16-2013, 12:04 AM
so a few things abt the ps4
if u use too big of a usb(physically), it will not fit into the usb slots because of how the slot is recessed in from the front
to charge the controller, u cannot just use a simple usb extension cable to extend the charging cable, u have to use an actual usb3.0 cable or else the controller wont charge
was anyone able to pick up Rivals? I didnt open Knack yet and I'm most likely going to exchange it with another game, if I can't find Rivals tomorrow I'm just gonna get ACBF

not really.. as long as you are shipping to confirmed address and provide a traceable tracking number the buyer can say anything they want and paypal won't do anything about it.
Nope, paypal can fuck you over if they feel like it. There are also ways the buyer can get around confirming tracking, especially to foreign countries.

Good idea. Knack and KZ look horrible. If I were getting a console I'd get AC4 probably... and that's about it :fuckthatshit:

KZ is actually not bad, it's actually quite visually and physics wise amazing. The campaign is up and down, some good some bad, im waiting til tomorrow or sunday to go PSPlus to play online.

How is it? FIFA is the only game I play on console and I'm debating whether I should just wait for 15 before I get a PS4 lol.
FIFA 14 is dope, it's not a simple port and roster update like they usually do, so it plays and looks a lot better, definitely don't wait because there's nothing to wait for, the future of sports gaming is literally here, and it's just the beginning.
probably gonna pick up NBA2K14...i can forsee myself playing this a lot more than AC4 or COD...
Don't probably that shit, you go on and do it, I only play sports titles on consoles so I picked up Fifa and 2K myself, but like I told the guy above about Fifa, 2K14 is done on a new graphics/physics engine and it feels so fckin fresh, like this is the game basketball fans been waiting for all this time. I've only gotten to play a little bit of the two games since I just picked up the console this morning, but damn is all I can say, it's a lot different than that jump from that last "next-gen" leap we took back in 2006 with the PS3 and 360's because all those games were literally spiced up ports from the PS2 and Xbox so there wasn't much of a difference.

I'd have to agree with G-spec, fifa has been a pretty good experience. Doesn't feel like a port at all and feels really nice to play.

hey guys, most of you probably already know but some who dont.... check your damn TV settings, the display ones specifically, because they WILL fuck up your framerate....
I had one of those generic preset picture options set on my samsung LED and the game was running at only 30fps, I went in and adjusted the Picture Options and turned off Auto Motion Plus to OFF, now it's back to being smooth as silk 60fps....
I don't know the specific menu options on other brands, but it should be somewhat similar.

:heckno:
You know what I have noticed though, A lot of people who got their PS4's shipped to them by a retailer/online store are the majority of people that got the shitty ones. I wonder if its something to do with an internal component getting loose or breaking. It also may be really sensitive to something the postal services use to scan the boxes because of the radio sensitivity of those IC's and processors.

ps, the shipping method is pretty stupid, they just put the ps4 within a huge box and put something on top of the ps4 to protect it, n nothing at the bottom. so anything physical damage to the bottom of the box will be a direct hit to the ps4, mine was shipped the same way

Likewise, I've ordered a hand full of things from Amazon before from Blurays to books, to a life size Lancer Gun from Gears of War. All came with heavy packaging.
Although my PS4 from Best BUy came in a big box with a shit load of paper inside to protect it. However, all the paper was on top of the box and nothing at the bottom. So far though I've logged about 10 hours on my PS4 with no issues and no physical damage either.
I think the DOA issue is being overblown. Of course every single user who had a broken console would go rant online. But when you look at how many units are out there, it's really not a big issue.
Mine works fine as well as my other 12 friends on list who got PS4 too.

Yes, it's the only game where the $20 off applies. Looks like you can do 3 separate orders and get $20 off each order before Amazon stops the deal.
Side note, has anyone found that the controllers battery drains pretty quickly. I've gone down to 1 bar of battery twice now both times starting from fully charged. I don't have any measurements in time but I really haven't gamed too much yet imo, 10 hours tops.

I kind of noticed, it also takes a while to charge up while plugged in and gaming at the same time. But the great thing is you don't have to keep the system on to charge the remotes! It just means its time for a break, lol.

ya i think the max average battery life is 7 to 8 hours for me
picked up the camera, the most you will be spending your time in the playroom is 20 mins or so, just a tech demo of what it can do.. unlike the kinect on xbox360 where it has a motor to adjust from the tv to find your face, the ps camera doesnt, you have to manually move it to coordinate where you want it facing
its mostly good for people broadcasting themselves on twitch/ustream..
so looks like BF4 might not get properly fix until early next week when they release the patch..
just been playing Blacklight and Killzone to get through my FPS online needs.. im not buying a call of duy ever again.. tired of that shit

Unfortunately I don't have to option to hard wire the connection. My PS3 has worked fine using wifi so i'm wondering if it's just because the psn servers on the ps4 are just too busy, or is the wifi in the ps4 just shitty?
I do notice that the signal strength is sitting only at 50%, where my ps3 is at 75-90% in the same room....weird.

the only thing that makes this "next gen" is the textures are at a higher res, much like what it looks on pc
for a console that sold a million in US and Canada combined, there is only 24k ppl playing..

They're not going to release a shit load at once. They're going week by week and probably ramp it up in early Dec.
So far it's about a million sold and a Sony exec recently said by Jan 2014 he expects 3-4 million sold. The whole point of releasing it in Nov is to take advantage of the holiday season.
.Renn.Sport
11-21-2013, 12:15 AM
Those exec said that they won't rush and fill up the store selves, they want to create the illusion of the console being constantly sold out.
They are probably holding most inventory for Europe and Asia launches next month.
But its easy to pick up the US version in HK atm, but at around $1400 more than the official price, hardly anyone is getting it, most people are just waiting for the launch next month.

Totally digging the fact that I can just plug any headphones into my controller and have the audio go through there instead of the TV. No need for adaptors or anything. Now I just need to get some better headphones. Currently just using the apple earbuds lol.
PLaying COD and Killzone so far. Not really digging Killzone that much and will probably be done with it soon. Good thing BB is offering $40 trade in until Jan for this.

why hunt for a made in japan unit? chances are all units in north america will be made in china as we have the NTSC system and europe have the PAL system so it would make sense if all the japan ones are PAL and all the china ones are NTSC for the moment.. and once stock demand decreases it'll be strictly made in china again.

That only applies when they actually make a cheaper version using cheaper parts. The PS4 will use the same parts no matter where it's made. The country where the assembly itself took place is relatively meaningless.
I agree for some things that need precise assembly.. cameras, watches, etc. But with a PS4 it shouldn't matter.
