    Nice, didn't know that. Any word on when it'll be released?

    It's out now. Was released in December I think. It's called 'TV from Sky'.

    You need Sky Go Extra for it to work.

    - I'm used to PlayStation; I had a PSOne, PS2, PSP and currently have PS3, PSVita and of course, PS4. (Also had an Xperia PLAY if that counts)
    - I prefer the controller.
    - Not that I play many of them, but I prefer the exclusives.

    no - with PS+ you get everything that's marked as free.
    Part of the reason I suggest to even get ones for consoles/handhelds you don't have right now.
    As long as your PS+ membership is valid you should have access to these - some expire I think but I haven't seen it yet on the ones I play.... :)

    Was that a bundle? If so where did you get it and for how much?

    It says purchased on prototype, how do i go about downloadin/ playin it tho?

    Prototype is PS3 game, unless you have a PS3 you can't play it - but now if you ever do get a cheap PS3 you have a PS3 game ready to download and play... ;)
    I think PS4 was first light and some others.

    If you purchased on a PC you can view your downloads and just select Download to the right of the game.
    Otherwise on the PS4 goto your library - select the game and then select Download.

    It will download much faster if you have your PS4 connected via an ethernet cable, wireless downloading is really really slow.

    Unfortunately not.
    PS Now will let you rent games but that's not the same thing unfortunately.

    Enjoy yourself and don't forget to turn it off now and again to see the real world again :)

    If the games are free, you get them all :D
    6 a month usually, and you'll often get games which are playable on 2 or 3 of the consoles.

    The only reason I bought a PS4 as early as Sept 2014 was they were selling the Killzone Shadowfall bundle for €332 to get rid of them. Amazing deal. Played a bit of Killzone but then got taken in by destiny. Will go back to Killzone at some point to finish the campaign. Its not as bad as people make out. I think people were just expecting more for next gen.

    Biggest pro for me is the PS4 is definately more popular thus giving a greater community experience. The few actual friends I have who are still into gaming have a PS4.
    Oustide of that I play Destiny with the lads on the Destiny thread quite a bit which has helped me enjoy it and continue playing it when I probably would be long gone from it.

    PS+ is great.

    Oh and nearly forgot but remote play with the Vita is a HUGE deal for me. I play a lot of my PS4'ing on the Vita due to only having one telly. That said I am trying to play a bit more on the telly now especially with the likes of DriveClub that just looks stunning on the big screen.

    Exclusives have already been mentioned but I'm really looking forward to Bloodbourne and The Order.

    Two negatives for me...
    1. The controller, I still prefer the 360 one and the XboxOne controller is savage.
    2. Coming from 360 I'm going to miss the likes of Gears of War and Halo. I might have to pick up an XboxOne just for Gears in particular.
