Getting excited, haven't bought a game yet but I'm getting The Show, UFC and Watch_dogs all on day 1.

I want to get Infamous Second Son, second hand later down the road.

Today's new firmware update is full of awesome little things. It also makes an already very fast OS even faster! I don't imagine the lightbar dimming will do much for battery life but any little helps, it is true it needs charging every night - but tbh after initial annoyance coming from x360 long lasting controllers it doesn't bother me much, just have to remember to plug it in. If I was really bothered I'd get one of those charging stands for £10 or so. Also helps that it recharges real fast too.

Charging with a cellphone charger (or any micro usb cord) is fine I think, only reason no to may be that it may take longer depending on how weak a charger it is.

Thanks for the input. The controller and XBL were my two biggest concerns coming into this generation. Nice to hear that the PS4 has a much better controller. I've messed with it at Gamestop but that's it.

The only thing I don't like is that it can be a little tricky to place the controller correctly on there and it gets knocked off easily, so other designs my be better but it works fine and it's very convenient to just swap the controller when it gets low.

It is pretty amazing how quickly battery life is deteriorating now that these are 6 months or so old. Hoping the light dimming helps.

I bought Sony charging station. Same as that one, it's occasionally fiddly but well worth the money for convenience (& tidyness

)

I find the charging stations too fiddly to use.

Anyone got any recommendations for customised controllers (design only)

No biggie.

It's something I've wondered about since I got a ps4 a couple months ago. I read a few articles dating back to November/December saying this wouldn't be an option. I'm hoping they've changed their minds on this.

Yeah, that blue stuff in the background is making my head hurt. Wondered why sony went with that (NOT being able to change the ps4 background).

Any ideas someone?

If you have the ps4 camera can people hear you on games? On fifa my players come up with a mic signal but I've never heard anyone react to anything I've said

Yup. The Show is awesome as predicted. Anyone tried playing online yet? I hear the lag is pretty bad. Might have to wait until there is an update.

I haven't played a show game in years but the commentary seems really well done so far.
