There are more signs MS was planning for a later release. Knack and KZ were finished well ahead of time and you could get retail discs weeks before launch. KZ is far from "lousy" or incomplete. Knack was disappointing but mediocre (5/10) rather than bad.

Played a hour and a half of Killzone yesterday. I'm currently on level 2.
I'm fairly certain that I'm going to turn it down from normal to easy.
- Hellghasts keeps flanking and killing me, and I tend to accidentally use my grenades at the most inapropriate times and beeing stuck with no grenades while trying to learn to use the new triggers, instead of R1. :-/
I know I can change it to PS3-like controls, but tought I were going to try to learn this new stuff. :-/

My right shoulder button is already sticking from constant spotting in BF4.
I'll try to wipe the sides of it with a Qtip and abit of cooking oil as that's always worked for me in the past. Step 2 would be to disassemble it.

No disassemble. Also DJ we should try FIFA. I played against OfficialSono last night and made me look like a fool.
My first ps4 was DOA out of the box.It was just giving me the pulsing blue light. However, amazon replaced it via next day air. My new one has worked flawlessly.

UK launches and PSN goes down. I can see how they have improved it now that it is a pay service.
Can you still play online? Same thing happened in NA launch for me: new account sign ups and what have you were down, but I could play KZ online.
Sucks if you're signing up, or transferring your PSN info.
yeah I was about to put in my one year ps plus code. didn't work on ps4, so I logged in on my ps3 and put it in there.

Whilst it sucks it's understandable when another 1m+ are all trying to get online at the same time.
We had a PS4 traded in today. Was the one who tested it a reformatted it. I'll have to say I really don't like the OS vs XBO's OS. To me it just looks like a PSP. It's not bad or ugly just boring. Still like the DS3 over the DS4 as the DS4 just doesn't feel right to me. Games look good (duh it is next Gen and all) but a clunky, unimaginable interface.
I've had my PS4 for 14 hours and its still in the box. I heard about PSN issues and I would still need to create a PSN account anyway so I'm just going to wait it out before I bother opening it. I might even sell it on eBay for an inflated price and just get one in January.
Got war thunder, but just waiting for it to download. Will provide impressions later.
No U. S psn right now. U. K only.

I'd recommend using rubbing alcohol to clean and against using cooking oil.
Twice now my PS4 wouldn’t boot-up. The console light goes on but no image on screen. Its happened once from full shut down and stand-by mode. In both cases I had to hold the power button to shut it down and after that when I boot-up everything seems fine. It was a little stressful seeing my TV could not pick up a signal from the PS4. At first I thought a cable went loose.
Overall, I’m really happy with my PS4. The games I have played so far have really impressed me and make me really hopeful for its future. I mean if the PS4 can output graphics like Killzone, incredible draw distance and beautiful vistas in open world Black Flag and jaw dropping environmental destruction like Battlefield 4 then imagine what will be in store for us a year from now. My only problem now is having too many good games to play.

War thunder just not my type of game. I thought it was so janky and the graphics don't look that great. I'm still having a good time with killzone though. It's not perfect but I still fire it up and play it when I don't feel like playing KI on xb1 anymore. My main beef with KZ is the fact that some maps just come down to dumb fights at doorways. Like my favorite map for example, I can't remember the name of it but it's the one inside with the escalators and stuff. Every time I go there it just turns into everyone at the same doorway trying to kill each other. It's pretty lame. Thankfully not every map ends up like that. I guess it's also my fault for only liking to play TDM as well.
TDM always end up in "kill funnels" were a doorway or hallway becomes a death trap people keep funneling through.
I just play war zones, soooo much better.
