Coming from someone that despised the ds3 with a passion, this is the best joypad I have used. The analogue sticks are so accurate in Fps games and the pad itself is very comfy to use.

This is just my opinion of course

Yeah the sticks are very precise . Best pad I have ever used personally
 
Mine turned up at 3pm today, DPD driver looked shattered! I was delivery number 90 and he said he literally hadn't left my area all morning delivering PS4's. He was saying he fancied buying one but couldn't decide between this and the Xbox One, anyway thanks Steve!

I have to say since getting my Xbox One last week I wasn't as excited over getting my PS4 but since my brief few hours with the console I've been really impressed. Firstly along with the XB1 it's not going to win any awards for the nicest looking console ever, it's functional at best but I do love the light strip down the middle.

The Pad feels great, I really detested the DS3 so I'm glad to see they've made some decent improvements to the pad. Loving the rubber parts of the pad and the thumb sticks seem much improved, obviously the triggers are the biggest change and it's about time too! Had some epic games of BF4 and didn't have any issues with the controller at all and I've been using the Xbox One pad for the past week.

Like many others I couldn't sign in for a few hours but I can let that go considering the amount of people probably trying to get online!

Love the clean look of the UI, again something I thought the PS3 was poor at but Sony have clearly listened and made it more efficient and intuitive to use.

I gave remote play a go, worked flawlessly but you can certainly notice the FPS hit (being locked at 30FPS) especially when games like BF4 are 60. Will need to try the multiplayer out with it at some point. Does anyone know if you can voice chat in online games via remote play?

Games wise I've only played BF4 (wanted to compare to the Xbox One version), and it's certainly the best next gen version. Better graphics and a more stable framerate which is easily noticeable over the Xbox One version. Like other version's though its in dire need of a patch, constantly crashes the to the dash.

Tomorrow I will be giving Killzone a shot then some Skylanders Giant's with the daughter ;) but so far I'm really impressed after being underwhelmed by the PS3 at launch! :D

Not sure if serious.. I suppose it is what you make it. Your play style etc..

This game is epic, the level you start of in the ship was amazing. Best graphics have ever seen on a console. Sound, weapons, lighting and smoke effects. Very next gen.
 
I see you get a 1 month free trial with netflix... I can't seem to find where you cancel it though before the month is up.. Under settings theres no cancellation part lol?

While I agree that its very pretty and sounds great, that doesn't make up for boring level design (waves of enemies? How next gen), sub par story and average gameplay.

I knew it was going to be average when I bought it so I'm not disappointed, ive played the other Killzones so knew what to expect. I like it but its certainly not brilliant.

Does the OWL not introduce anything new? I thought that would spice things up a bit.
 
just got back after picking my up from brothers :) update to 1.51 took a while (think it was his wifi) then downloaded resogun, daughter and sister in law went and watch bridget jones :rolleyes: and we lost ourselves for 2 hours :D
I'm a huge fan of the 360 controller but i adore the ds4 it's almost perfect :cool:

The OWL is ok, its cool being able to zipline down from places whenever you please, and on hard mode the revival ability is essential. Other than that though i find myself forgetting its there and sometimes its almost annoying. For example I don't know how many times I reached an objective and cant do anything with the computer or whatever it is, run about for a bit thinking "what the hell do i do now?" and then suddenly remembering that the OWL has to do the hacking.

Don't get me wrong its a good game and a fantastic tech demo for the ps4, I'm just finding it a bit if a grind and not a huge amount of fun. Its the sort of game ill play for an hour at a time as it wont really hold my attention for much longer.
 
Hi dudes, I'm using Astro A40 headset with my PS4...

Its hooked up exactly the way it was with my ps3... Optical to mixamp - USB to PS, Headset to mixamp...
For some reason, all the people I have ran into online sound very very quiet, even when turned up full.
I was in party chat with Stella and he and another guy were very quiet, He said they were both using the headset that came in the box and thats what it could be ? Anyone else using Astro's seen this ?
 
Just an FYI for others in the same boat as me, I managed to add PS+ to my account by getting my mate to log in using his PS3 and adding my PS+ on there.

Seems to only be blocked when doing it directly on the PS4.
 
I sold mine for £500. Kid came with his grandma I presume and paid. I made a profit but didn't rob the person blind. They said they'd looked everywhere and it's sold out and that he really wanted one. They were also worried they might get mugged as I live in a very quiet area lol. Anyway, it was nice to see a kid happy. Regret I didn't pre order as there is a big demand for them at the moment.
