Official Thread New PS4 Owners Thread

Really close to pulling the trigger and picking up a PS4. I really need The Show in my life. FF14 looks cool too as does that WW2 dogfighting game. I never finished The Last of Us, that's a big plus next month.

My biggest hold up is E3. I don't expect a price drop, but I could see some sort of bundle being available.
 
Yeah, I think that's a good idea, to wait until E3. Who knows, you might see something.
 
I'd wait truth be told PS4 does not have enough to play yet same goes for One too if you ask me.
 
Welp, I bit. I was in BB today and they had a ton in stock. Picked up MLB The Show 14 and Killzone Shadowfall. I saw that Tomb Raider was on sale in the PSN store for $29.99 so I got that and a bunch of the free games. Haven't spent a whole lot of time with the system, but so far it's snappy and responsive. The OS is just different from what I'm used to, but it isn't bad. I've spent the past two generations as primarily an Xbox exclusive gamer. I had a PS3 as a Blu-Ray player mainly, so I've played a few of sony's games. This gen though, seemed really dumb to limit myself to one console. Now I can enjoy the best of both worlds by having a Xbox One and a PS4. My gamer tag for both systems is:

Smart move. It's likely there will either be a price drop or a bundle for the PS4 at E3. With the competition raising the stakes you know Sony has to be worried.

The OS on PS4 is better than PS3. But is still slower than the competitor's. Sometimes backing out of one application to another isn't exactly smooth.
 
My guess is that Sony will do a Last of Us PS4 bundle this summer. For those who have never played TLOU, that might be a good game to jump in on. I wouldn't expect a price drop of any kind, as its not really necessary at the moment. Keeping the system $400 with no extra cost for a game is more likely.

Highly unlikely that there will be any bundles at $399.99. Would be hilarious if they threw in the camera for free though.
 
Got a ps4 on wednesday! Rented Wolfenstein, it being SP only I didn't think it'd be worth the purchase, but I'm getting Watch_Dogs next week!!

Seriously, I need friends on this...Add me: TheShockerX or post your ID and I'll add you.
 
I will made my next gen console decision after E3.

Me too. I don't really expect E3 to change my mind -- I've already 90% decided to get a PS4, because I like their games and indie scene better, plus other reasons -- but I want to see if there are any bundles or deals announced. And I'll give MS one more chance to sell me.
 
I got the ps4 at this point because I don't think there'll be any xbone exclusives i'm into for a while, like 2016, e3 could shed some light on something new, but at this point I think the upcoming ps4 library is more interesting.

Yap, same line of thought. I am giving MS a last chance to woo me, but I also I can see the effort to Sony, & warming up to them again, after bypass them totally last gen.

I can see they really spend the effort to make PS4 a premium gaming platform, & improve on all their weakness during PS3 era. They were playing catching up in online services, Indies, tools, UI, sales for much of last gen, funny how things changes so fast.

Its hard to knock them really. The only major thing so far that disappoint me is lack of AAA games line up coming this year. There are a lot of Indies for sure, but I can get them most on PC, & cheaper as well, so not compelling reasons for me also.
 
Gamestop is running a pretty good deal, where you can get $150 trade-in value towards a PS4 for a used PS3 or Xbox 360. I'll probably use this to make the jump. The offer runs from 6/9 to 6/15.

I made a decision. Im bringing my PS4 back to Best Buy, and im going to pre-order the Glacier White Destiny bundle. After looking at it more today, I just think it looks much sleeker, and more bad ass than the black one. I haven't bought a single game for my PS4 in nearly a month of owning it, so im not missing out on anything anyway. It's just kind of been sitting there. The good games wont start hitting until October, and while im not hyped for Destiny, im certain it'll be a good game regardless, so I have no problem with getting that game along with the package.

That damn white PS4 has gotten into my brain. It just looks so cool to me.

hmm my black PS4 is now white with my home made paint cause it's so sexy.
 
Can you share digital downloads on multiple consoles like on Xbox One? I am thinking about picking up a PS4 when the game backlog is larger.
 
if they greyed out all the buttons on the controller the same as the back grip then it would be irresistibly sexy (give me that original 360 finish!). the blacks are too contrasted.
 
Got me a PS4! Woo! :banana: :B->: Been waiting to say that for a while. I traded in my crusty 5-month old PS3 in for $150 credit on a shiny new PS4. Got 'er all plugged in and connected.

My ID is Andy_spatula Don't ask why spatula, I don't know. I just needed another word to attach, and "Andy spatula" made me laugh.

Please add me. I have no friends. I'll try to send invites out to the 4 or 5 people who were on my PS3 list, assuming your tags are listed on the forum. I'm not the most active multiplayer gamer, but I hope to be online now and then.

I immediately loved the feel of the DS4. After playing with the loosey-goosey DS3 sticks for so long, the DS4 sticks felt really tight and responsive. I like the way the controller feels in my hands.

I don't have any games for it yet. I've been wanting to play AC4: BF and Child of Light, so I'll probably start there.

Congrats! Did you add previous PS+ games to your account? You'll have a blast.

Why didn't you re-use your PS3 PSN account?
