Basically you have to download the latest system software onto a usb stick and put that in once the hard drive has been swapped. I don't think there is anyway to easily just transfer the old contents.

Dumb question, but do I need to transfer all my stuff off the old hard drive if I replace it (I'm guessing I just re-download all my digital stuff), or is the OS and stuff on another drive or something?

I had to go through and redownload and reinstall my games and stuff but the biggest pain in the rear end was just getting the correct version of the firmware and that was only because I wasn't paying attention. The 2.02 update you'll want is like, 700 megabytes instead of the one that's 200. Just put it on a flash drive and start up the PS4 after installing the new hard drive.

I haven't gotten that far yet, but from what I understand you can customize all kinds of poo poo in it, and if you max out characters in MP and promote them, they become background NCP's in there which sounds pretty cool.

e2: VVV Yes, as far as I know you can go right to MP

I've never played the last 2 games. I like these types of games in theory but do not have the time to really invest myself in a deep RPG world.

I rented DA:I from Gamefly.

Can I: Go right into Multiplayer without needing to do any/x number of hours of Campaign?

Mine came in my box, on a little printed card, so I would imagine so and yes, I'll take it.

This is a huge week for PS4 titles, so many games came out! A wealth of option finally! I gamefly'd Unity, got GTA5, on the fence over getting DA: and Farcry 4 on PC or PS4 - so many options

If you bought GTA 5 off the PSN then your pre-order bonuses appear as free downloads in the in-game PlayStation Store, so I don't think you can give them away.

Yes. These bad people are trying to stop you from saving the world. You are a member of team good squad. Some of these monsters come from portals.

U.S. is getting Injustice Ultimate Edition next month for PS4. This was announced weeks ago.

I bought a retail copy of Injustice Ultimate Edition and still have it installed. Can I "purchase" the digital edition when it's free on PS+ and avoid that long trek over to my system when I want launch it after playing something else? Will the digital edition make me redownload the game or can I use my retail installation?

You will have to delete your disc install and re-download the game, but otherwise yes.

I kinda respect a series that does a trilogy or whatever and then leaves it at that.

Also the games weren't that great...

I'm not a huge fan of the series, but playing the third game in co-op was fun, and it would be great if they made an HD remaster of the series so I could try the 8-player online co-op.

It's not that good of a game in single-player. A beautifully realised world that is just dull as dishwater to actually play missions and poo poo in.

I played a couple of matches that ended in team wipes. It's way slower than ME3 MP, but I found I kinda started getting the hang of things after a bit. Probably won't ever match ME3's MP, but will probably get better as people learn what works best.

Are you only able to shareplay with one other person at a time? I was thinking about getting the new You Don't Know Jack, and since it's only local co-op, wanted to know if I could shareplay the game with 4 people.

The first H mission where you meet him and he's all pissed because he couldn't bust up in there like Clint Eastwood isn't part of the DLC. I forgot to enter the code on my first playthrough, but I still got that one. There's 3 or 4 separate missions as part of a campaign when you start the Hurk missions. I'd imagine they'll pop up later in the game, but I honestly don't know. I beat it, and then was like wait a minute, where's my goddamn harpoon ahhhh dammit.

Wow, I disagree. I think it's one of the best single-player experiences I've ever had. And I think Online is a horrible slog of the exact same missions over and over again that takes too long to progress. I got tired of Online at like Level 20 and haven't played it since. Maybe Heists will bring me back in.

Yeah you redownload your games to the new drive. In theory all your saves should be saved to the cloud (if you're a ps+ member) but a bunch of mine didn't save so I copied all my saves on a usb drive. You should also save any screenshots/videos that way too.
