Official Thread New PS4 Owners Thread

19K for the bundle and 2 year warranty. Also, so many used games for 1k - 1.5k each. My wife was so happy but by the time we got home something changed. She's upstairs being a grumpy ass, lol. Oh well. :)
 
Got me one!

I got the inFAMOUS bundle since all the other bundles were sold out. Figures, I don't have the cash, bundles galore. I finally have the funds, nothing. Oh well, I heard it's good and I liked the other two games. I also picked up Madden 15 for $20 used. I haven't played a Madden since 2010 so I figured I'd give it a shot for that price.

I'll be getting more games in the upcoming weeks but can't go crazy. So happy to be part of the PS4 crew, finally!

Don't let the haters fool you, ISS is a great game.

When I got mine I turned if on and off repeatedly just to see the line of light turn from blue to white and dance across the middle of the console.
I still think that is fooking awesome! Everytime I turn on my PS4 I'm awed by it.
 
Only issue I have with mine is messaging and dash board lag.
Really hope 2.0 fixes things!

going into safe mode and selecting "rebuilding database" seems to have sped up my friends/messages/notifications tenfold. previously it would literally take 10+ minutes for them to load, if they loaded at all, but now things are pretty zippy

Does it erase anything? Or is it kind of like defragging a comp?

i was told that it doesnt delete a thing, and thats how it appears to me after doing it. may want to google it to get your own assurances though

Okay. I think I'll do it today after work. Looks like it shouldn't delete anything.

  1. Rebuild Database - Scans the drive and creates a new database of all content.
    This operation may take a long time depending on the type and number of data items.

welcome to the world of woman f*** I can make a joke my wife will laugh I make the same joke 10 mins later she gets pissed about it. One min she is fine then she is sitting there all pissy for no reason 5 mins later.
 
I thought for sure that I had a hardware issue with my disk drive since it wouldn't read the disks and even said that there was no disk in the drive.

Luckily the nice Sony rep talked me through the reboot and data rebuild. That fixed it.

Thank God. I didn't want to ship my console out.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea to rebuild database. It made my PS4 a lot more zippy.

I'll have to look and see about doing that, 2.0 has made things a little crazy it seems.

If anyone is playing Destiny or CoD:AW feel free to add me.

My PS4 won't read disks again. Never had so many issues with a console.

Rebooted and rebuilt database didn't work this time.:txbmad:

Hope you get it resolved. Have you send it for repair under warranty?
 
Anyway, I want to show off my new hardware.

Dragon Age Inquisition is the game that made me go out for a next gen console.

Sorry for the poor image quality. Taken with Iphone 5.

I saw a decent deal, Singstar bundle (which I do not care about) with Assassin Creed Unity thrown in for 399€. So I bought it with Dragon Age Inquisition. This is my Sony Console since the PS2.

Welcome to the family, star. What's your PSN?
 
I think its StarseekerSpidey. I do not have PS+ yet though.
 
I lost my receipt and my purchase history only goes to Nov 30th 2013 on Gamestop.com. And Sony requires proof of purchase for repairs.

Not sure what to do. Sony's already shipped the box.
 
I have a receipt box where I keep all the receipts to prevent such issue. Hopefully Sony will not charge you for this.

well I hope they don't act dumb I mean if the system is just a year old they should cover it.

I had my Power Rewards card renewed after I puchased the PS4 on launch day. Surely GS should have my purchase on record.

I wonder if I could get the proof of purchase date from my credit card company?
