Might pick one up now, craigslist has some for cost + $10 if you can snipe them.

The only major titles I'm contemplating picking up are AC4, BF4, Killzone, or Need for Speed.

Any thoughts on those? I've read all the major reviews but am looking for some player opinions. I've never been a huge AC or BF fan so I'm leaning more towards Killzone/NFS. NFS has had some server migration problems which scares me.

I've never played a Killzone game and it is an exclusive so I'm really leaning that way. Thoughts?

I describe Killzone as the Oblivion (Tom cruise movie) of FPS.

Beautiful, excellently shot, great soundtrack, some good moments, but at its heart its basically just cutting and pasting from other great FPS and Sci Fi stories.

It's a good but not great game. Multi has been fun.

Killzone, Battlefield 4 and NBA seem to be the must haves on PS4 right now.

Holy mother, wow. This is making me feel so old. I never sensed the hype at all. This strongly suggests even my nerd friends grew out of video games.

Asda Direct did. But that was a couple of days ago. It was a killzone bundle for like 390 or something. I assume they are all gone now, but you never know.

My mate ordered with Blockbuster who went bust (lol). He ordered with shopto a week ago and was told he should still get it on release day. Or maybe go queue up on the night if your feeling lucky.

Turtle Beach is out of the PS4 chat cable. I've been hunting for an alternative and found that you can't use any 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter or cable. It has to be mono-to-mono, AKA "TRRS." They seem to be pretty rare. So far, I've found these.

So apparently my UPS driver has a knack for timing delivery for when I jump in the shower or am taking a ****. He left the PS4 at the front door and I didn't know it.

A little while later I go down to grab the mail and see not only the Amazon box sitting there, but also two extremely shady looking kids on bikes about 20 feet away, and a third smaller kid (maybe 11-12) off of his bike and halfway between the group and my porch/box. I didn't actually catch him picking it up but the other two kids bolted and left their buddy when I opened the door.

Actually felt bad for him for a second because he was the smallest/youngest one and probably put up to it. But just for a second. Then I opened the box and showed him the PS4 he almost had. Not today jackass.

lol. My ps4 was scheduled to be delivered today. Fear of missing the driver caused me to not take a ****, shower, leave for food, or run to buy a couple games. It just got here. Now I have all that to do before I can play games.

My drivers usually at least put items inside our entryway but the last few weeks I saw some of my neighbor's stuff outside on the steps. I flew home right when I saw the tracking update to shipped but it was inside.

I usually hide my garage door opener for the normal UPS guy when I'm away, and he puts stuff in there for me or leaves a note. Must be some other driver. Which reminds me I have to get the guy a gift cert or something.

Anyway started COD for a little bit, seemed okay but got bored quick, switching to Killzone.

I wonder if need for speed rivals is worth $60+49psn subscription? That seems like a fun multiplayer game.

my PS4 is still unopened. I really wish The Order came out sooner, I'm reading a lot of good things about that exclusive

Thanks

Didn't see any on Asda, but for other UK people Tesco Direct currently has Knack bundle only in stock for "delivery on day of launch", Free delivery. $375 using "£10 off for new account orders over £50" eVoucher coupon (TDX-RVNH). I ordered one, and it says delivery expected by 30th grr, we'll see when it actually arrives.

Wasn't likely to buy Knack but for £26 over bare console price can hardly complain, will prob be able to get at least that for trade in if I don't like it I guess.

Just wanted to respond officially and say that the twitch app for Ps4 is super sick, really nice job on it. The ease in which to start streaming is unreal compared to other platforms (never once got my PC streaming to work), it's really nicely done (although I still can't figure out how to integrate it to my twitter to tweet when I stream, and I saw them do it on IGN). Downside is that the lag is pretty bad, but no idea if that's on your end, the PS4's, or internet connections these days.

Anyone here playing NFS: Rivals? how often do you interact with other players while playing single player?

Well the wifey suprised me early for our anniversary and snagged a PS4 from Amazon at 12:01 the 15th (she said they sold out at 12:02). Downloaded Resogun and played it a bit and it seems pretty darn cool so far. What is the best site to show current up to date release dates of games?....some sites speculate it seems. Thanks

Well release dates ARE speculative in most cases.

I think this site is fairly decent at keeping tabs on things:
