Why would I not push the eject button? I have to be over there to take the disc out of the slot anyway? :confused:

Because there's a known issue with the capacitive button(s) and a perfectly acceptable alternative exists.

You finish playing your game (or watching your movie) and then choose the remove disc option from the menu. Walk over to the system and the disc is already waiting for you, no need to wait for it to spindown or whatever. It's the difference between spending another second on the couch or another second standing next to your system.

Truth be told, methods probably take about the exact same amount of time and effort, so you may as well go with the one that definitely won't cause your system to have issues.

I have to stand my ps4 upright because when it's lying down the system will randomly enter rest mode. I'm guessing that's also a problem with the buttons?

If you don't already own a ps4, would it be stupid to grab the Pro instead of taking a discounted standard ps4?

Comparison videos don't seem to suggest any huge "game changer" differences if you don't have a 4K TV so far. It would largely depend on what you're looking at as far as price difference, also bearing in mind that the PS4 Pro will be bigger, heavier and more power-hungry.

The real gamers appreciate the fast loading and pureness of analogue gaming. You just can't beat the quality and warmness of a tape.

I remember years ago reading about an album an electronic group put out on vinyl where side one was music, and then side 2 was data for either a commodore or atari computer (I forget which)

No, it's not stupid. It's a better system than the PS4, so if it's worth the extra hundred bucks, I'd say go for it.

It's not just for 4K games, just FYI. Non-4K TVs can still take advantage of greater graphical fidelity, such as higher framerates or more visual effects, depending on the game. Most currently existing PS4 games won't have any benefit on the PS4Pro (the developer has to create a patch adding in the features).

DF thinks its gonna be a good deal for the extra cost. also they say at the end that their sources say sony has only a small team helping developers with pro support they are pushing for development to be done on the base model first and the pro's enhancement tools to be used on that base version.

There's still no reason to pre-order it though. Just wait until people actually have it and see tangible benefits.

There's an Assassin's Creed sale going on. I'm interested in the slave rebellion one (Freedom's Cry). I know since it's stand-alone DLC that it should be short, I don't mind. Is it worth $6? Never played Black Flag.

If I buy a game off the Japanese PSN do they charge tax as well as the price? The game I'm looking at is 2990 yen so if I can just get the 3000 yen card that would make it a lot easier.

couldn't you add it and try checking out to see? or does it ask for payment options first?

Yeah I've tried that and it prompts for payment options before showing the final cost.

I'm pretty sure I don't get charged tax here in Texas. At least, I didn't when I bought Dear Esther a couple days ago.

Not sure if it matters that I only use PSN cards rather than a credit card or PayPal. I like not giving my financial info to Sony, and I take a little extra satisfaction in getting a cent off of every $10 I spend. :v:

honestly every cod sale has been the worst sale of all-time. they used to discount years old cod games like 10%, but they have moved on to discounting their old cod games by giving you a sale on the season pass bundle only
