The way y'all keep talking about Peggle 2 makes me want to try it. I watched a YouTube video of it and it looks fun but like an Ipad game I'd play in the bathroom, not laying in bed on my TV.

We have not yet announced a date. That said we don’t want you guys playing some of the biggest games of the year without the biggest update of the year. {re: 2.0 Firmware.) (Aka: before end of November, is my bet. Probably early Nov/late Oct.

As a 360 -> PS4 convert I've never had as many problems with an online system as I do now. Thankfully I don't have wifi problems. Justifying the problem by saying "well don't use wifi" is pretty hilarious in 2014 and another example of the blinders some people wear. I'm still happy with PS4 but network performance is a joke in comparison to my 360/Live days.

it gets. I don't understand how so many people have these massive problems with accessing PSN to do, well, anything, and there are other PSN users like myself that have literally never had a problem with it ever, excepting scheduled downtime and the hack like 2 years ago.

G-Whizard posted:True but what he's asking is with the gold headset specifically. At least I think he is. When it dies you can still hear the game audio if you plug the cable that comes with the headset into the controller directly...but there is 0 control over how loud it is or if it's balanced for game or chat. It also gets rid of the ability to mute it. It blows but whatever, just charge it scrub.

I'm a 360 -> PS4 convert too and I've had so much less problems on PS4's PSN (Got a PS3 not too long ago, it does suck online) than I've had with Live. Disconnects, Staring at the screen for system / title updates, Host Migrations, and more were just stuff I had to stomach over there. I don't know if it was the infrastructure or the community that caused those but it sucked.

If you have Comcast they regularly screw up on a regional level (like multiple states) and break access to all kinds of services.

September sales are out soon, the PS4 broke even more records and tripled its August sales (well over half a million units sold September), it's clear the white unit brought in more buyers, PS+ subscriptions more than doubled with Destiny, and while Destiny is the most played game on the PS4 it is five times more popular than the second most active game on the system. e: Yup, the most "sales" of Destiny were on the Xbone, which just happened to include a free copy of it when buying a new console e: The PS4 Destiny bundle games were not counted into that, that explains it Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Oct 16, 2014 |

I think I heard the way the PSN works now you can get on a bad server and won't go to a new one until you reboot the ps4, maybe that is why it can vary from person to person. Or maybe I don't know what I am talking about.

Whatever it is I think it had something to do with the update that was released around the time of destiny. I don't know why it doesn't affect everyone. My main issue has been getting my friends list and the store to load. Playing online has been mostly fine.

If it means anything in regards to PSN being messed up. I was watching Netflix fine, left it running and then logged into destiny. Loaded fine, but took a minute in the "spaceship flying to destination" screen. When I got to the tower I had at least 9 other people spawn at the same time I did in succession.

Don't take this as the absolute truth, but as of the end of September I think PS4 is selling better than the Wii was at this time in its lifecycle. That's pretty crazy. New sales numbers are coming out this evening.

New sales numbers are coming out this evening. September 2008 Wii sales were 687k, "nearly three times" the sales of August were made going by specific quotes of those with numbers, so a maximum of 190x3=580k potentially. (oh, tripled. Correcting.) PS4 Destiny sales if the white PS4 bundles and digital sales were counted by the NPD would have dwarfed the other three platforms combined. e: Somebody reminded me that D4 launched in September and now I'm sad. No marketing at all from MS about it, and I'm quite sure it's the greatest reviewing fully exclusive title for the machine. MS financed and ordered that project from Swery, why would they waste all that time and money. Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Oct 17, 2014 |

It sounds like the PS4 sold between 475k and 600k. The White Destiny bundle really went through the roof (I purchased 2 of them, so my family now has 4). Also surprising the XB1 Destiny standalone (including the free giveaway) outsold the PS4 Destiny standalone (which doesn't count the bundle). Does NPD count digital sales? Also I was smart enough to redeem 2 PS+ year cards for my new PS4s before the trial ran out. iPhone reminders are amazing.

http://venturebeat.com/2014/10/16/september-2014-npd-ps4-outsells-xbox-one-despite-microsoft-giving-away-a-free-game/ Venturebeat gives a 550K estimate for September. And yeah, the Destiny number doesn't count bundled copies (not sure about digital), so all those PS4 Destiny systems don't count towards the total.

XBL does unless you turn the auto renewal option off, and what the might be the biggest subscription service, Netflix, does (unless you cancel it before). Of course we can all find cases that don't, but it has been trending for years for things to auto renewal.
