Yup, same with the 31 crappy themes from MLB Show '15.

Hopefully, they will add something to filter or hide things you don't want to see.

Bought Guac and Swan during one of the sales. Guacamelee is fun. Never did finish it. Never got around to Swan.

PlayStation 4 lifetime sales pass 22.3m worldwide

Sony has now sold more than 22.3m PlayStation 4 consoles worldwide since the platform launched in November 2013.

That translates to around 44.6k PS4s sold per day, every day, since then (around one every two seconds).

Sony shifted 14.8m PS4 units during the 12 months ending 31st March 2015, according to the company's latest financial report.

Sony expects to sell another 16m before 31st March 2016.

re: The PlayStation 4 / PS4 Thread: Still Going Strong

Does anyone use the PS4 to upload videos/screenshots? I'm not sure what happened but I'm no longer able to. When I go to the share screen for screenshots, it says 0/0 and that I can't select any more items to be uploaded. I'm still logged into FB and had been uploading without a problem until recently. Anyone know what could be going on?

Hmm...looks like I found the solution on a different site. I'll try it tonight. In case anyone else has the same problem:

Solved the issue. Go into your notifications (uploads) and delete all those messages. Then you should be good to go again.

Is there a way to check if a download code is valid without actually redeeming it like on the 360?

If it's valid, it should tell you what it's for and then give you the option to confirm. I'd think that if you just closed it out at that point, the code would still be good.

It seems that Konami may have pulled PT down completely. I'm seeing reports that it is unavailable in the US. I tried it from my library and the download failed.

Didn't they announce that was their intention? It's why I grabbed it and downloaded it last week.

Edit: It is also why people are selling on eBay (and some have sold) PS4's with PT loaded on it for $700+.

They had announced that it would be removed from the store on April 29. They had not announced that it would be completely pulled from the servers so that people who had already "purchased" it would not be able to download it again in the future. Not terribly surprising either, though.

This is why I'm hesitant on digital purchases as a whole. If you "bought" the game at some point (whether it was free or not), you should be able to download it again when ever you want to. I already played through it and deleted it, but would like the option to download it again in the future if I wanted to.

I think most titles have worked as you described. I think at least, are the Marvel games still available on the 360 via re-download?

PT is just a fucked up situation, at least it was a freebie.

It had oddly photo realistic visuals for a low budget demo. I hated the part where you drove around for hours in the PT Cruiser though.

PT is an awesome horror experience. There's a reason why it showed up on some GOTY lists last year.

If you think about it, this will end up being one of the rarest games ever. No physical copies in existence, no longer available to download, and was not even available for a full year.

If you delete it from your PS4, can you still re-install it later? Will that still be allowed?

There were a couple XBLA games that were the same way when I set up my new 360 a couple months ago. They were no longer in the store when I searched for them and when I tried to download them under my account info, I got an error code.

No, that's what we are talking about. It's still in your library, but you get an error code when trying to download it again.

Nope, once deleted it's gone.

re: The PlayStation 4 / PS4 Thread: Still Going Strong

And Sony sent me a helpful notification to let me know that I would no longer be able to download PT if I had deleted it. Well...it would have been helpful if they'd let me know that before it was removed from the servers.
