Nope. No PS4. Tried the 360 and it worked for a bit and went out as well. Hopefully it's just a wonky HDMI cable. Unfortunately it's the one from the receiver to the projector. Had to order a new 25 footer.

I'll give your link a try tomorrow while I wait on the new cable. Thanks.

I've played Infamous and so far no problems..BUT...I haven't gone into settings and changed anything be it the console or in game. I DL that Share Factory and it works.

You can check the offical Sony Playstation site under Support for PS4 and see what type of problems...disc won't eject, flickering or blank screens, not able to play or connect with friends....

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

I was playing MLB 14 the other day and the screen went all crazy on me. I thought it was just a random glitch in the game but people are saying it was the system?

I mean it went all colorful, like pink and green, and a lot of black. Almost like looking through the eyes of the Predator.

I've read that as a glitch in the game, not the system

The black part happened to me in The Show but I haven't seen that glitch in any other game that I have been playing.

Those images actually look appealing to me for some odd reason.

Mine were like that except a lot of black added in. I could barely see the ball when I was hitting, let alone play defense.

Witcher 3 runs at higher resolution on PS4. Dev says it shouldn't matter to gamers, just sit farther from your TV.

Article says "may." They're still working on the game.

Yep. There's not one concrete statement in that entire article. Just a lot of "Game isn't done yet" and "If this, then that, maybe".

Playstation Now Launching with 'Hundreds of Titles'
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/05/1...reds-of-titles.


Still no official word on how pricing will work. I'm hoping for a subscription, but that may not be the case.

Yeah. The article says it might be $5 or $6 per title, but there's no indication of what the rental period is. I'm sure those in the closed beta have a better idea.

Do you have to pick in advance, or does it just roll from one to the next as the time passes by without you "returning" it?

Looks like this is partially true:

$59.99: Accidental Plan(36mo): Must purchase within 30 days and provide PoP.

$49.99: Non-Accidental Plan(36mo): Must purchase within 1 year of PS4 purchase and provide PoP.

Went ahead and bought the $50 plan.

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

The wording of the two plans is so weird.
"I broke it on purpose, so it's covered by your Non-Accidental warranty!"

Anyway, I bought the Accidental coverage on a weekend where you got $10 back on a $60 PSN purchase. Figured for essentially the same price, I would just be covered if I did something stupid like let it overheat or spilled something on it or whatever without any hassles or refusals. If it wasn't for that $10 rebate that weekend, I'd have gotten the Non-Accidental coverage instead

You choose one of those 3 options before you get to play the game

I still haven't tried it with the lan cable plugged in, over wifi its unplayable

I messed around with it last year for a night or two and there are no prices or anything. Just box art for a dozen games that you click on and play. Im guessing it will be more of a netflix month-month subscription play, with a discount for plus members.
