Well all you'll get is bragging rights. AFAIK they are all locked down pending a day one patch.

But you can download the day one patch right now.

If that is the case, you will be glad to know you can pump all of the game's audio through the controller's 3.5mm jack.

Class! I was never able to use headphones on my telly. Might splash out on a nice pair for Christmas.

Hope the audio's good quality, as I'll be playing the PS4 through my new PC monitor.

That's my plan too. Just ordered a Seinnheiser PX 200 II today. Ideal for when the neighbours are going to bed as I think they can hear everything I do.

Thanks for checking! Doesn't look like in arriving today after all. It arrived at DHL's delivery facility yesterday morning and then said "forwarded for delivery". I checked it now and it has checked back into the delivery facility, what they were doing with it for the last 24 hours is beyond me. I think someone needs to explain to the good folks at DHL what the word priority means in their priority shipping option.

I'd call them and make sure that there are no extra issues. I had a similiar issue with UPS although that was on import to the USA and there was a problem with Customs and if I didnt ring they probably wouldn't have rang me. It's probably nothing but worth the call either way for piece of mind.

EDIT : Nevermind glad it arrived enjoy it. And to answer some of the questions yesh the quality coming through the controller is good and you can turn it off in the PS4 menu and some games have the option of reducing/turning it off in game. As for not being able to hear the controller specific sounds whilst wearing headphones this to is pushed to the headphones. AS was said above the line "save the last humans" which comes through the controller speaker is audible in the headphones.

Did you get a chance yet to plug an external hard drive in? Just wondering what happens if you connect a FAT32 formatted hard drive?

What are you expecting, the ps4 wont detect it or play any media from it at the moment, I think the most you can do is transfer save files on a usb key.

Any more info on the blue light issue. Does any one know if Sony found out what's causing it?

Havent gotten to it yet I'm afraid hoping to get it done before the weekend have work stuff, family and limited PS4 time at the minute so will try and get this done soon.

Plugged in a 500GB USB 3.0 drive formatted to FAT32 and as expected, nothing happened. There's nowhere on the console that it would show up like it does under Videos/Music/Pictures on PS3

Edit: NBA Live 14 IGN review is out...ouch.

NBA Live 14 sinks lower than I ever thought this once-proud series could go. Making the totally fair comparison to NBA 2K14 would be like LeBron James playing a pickup game against an arthritic giraffe.

The Verdict

NBA Live’s flaccid return is made all the more disappointing because we waited three years for it. After all that time, NBA Live 14 in no way advances the basketball sim genre and, worse, leaves little to be optimistic about for next year. Here’s hoping EA figures something out, otherwise this series’ comeback is going to be short-lived.

A number of people have found it to be issues with the HDMI port

Guys, with eircom but I need a new router as the Zyxel one I have is finished. Games on the PS3 were never that enjoyable and I didn't figure it was the router but seemingly that's the cause. So I need a new one and want it replaced before I pick up the PS4. What's a good one to get and where can I pick one up in Dublin city centre?

Try Argos/Tesco on launch day, be early. Otherwise just pre-order anywhere and hope for the best.

It doesn't look good i'd say unless you go to argos or tescos on launch day.

Will we have to download firmware 1.51 to a flash drive for launch day. Nice to see a patch this early. Sony are on the ball it seems.
