They're doing maintenance from 9-11 Pacific.

I was in Destiny and it froze, came back and couldn't connect to the servers, and now I can't connect to PSN.

Thanks!

Yep, PSN down across the board. PS3, PS4, Vita, and the web.

Fuck, just when I get some free time to play too!

OK, looks like things are getting back to normal. I just signed on to my PS4, and made it into Destiny.

This isn't good.

If You Got The New PS4 Update, Don't Use Rest Mode

I've put mine in rest mode a couple times since the update, but thankfully everything still seems to be working without a hitch.

Thanks for the heads up. I use standby all the time. Haven't updated yet though.

Luckily I never use standby/rest mode.

I was going to ask here, has anyone had it come out of rest mode successfully? Because I always need to unplug it. Stupid update.

have had no issues thus far

Mine came out of off mode and had to have the system checked. I had to actually turn the system on twice to get it to do that. It worked fine after the check but we shouldn't have to nor do I want to deal with that shit. Fix it Sony!

I can't even access the PS Store anymore on my PS4...

I turn my PS4 off every time and when I powered it on today I got a blue, wavy screen that wouldn't do anything. I couldn't even power it down by holding the power button. I had to pull the plug on it to get it to reboot and then it had to do the data/system check before it would reboot. They better get this shit fixed before it bricks a bunch of launch consoles just after the one year warranty expires. If their update tanks our systems and they don't offer to fix it then I might be done with this crap.

Why the hell do automatic updates still not actually work?

I just went through my library, and manually checked for updates on everything. 15 of them had updates. Ugh.

Is it too much to ask for EVERYTHING to be kept up to date? I thought that was the whole point of automatic updates.

It automatically downloads them, saving you that step at least.

Personally I wouldn't want an auto update run without me knowing. An update could crash the system without you knowing what the fuck happened.

No, it doesn't, that's my point. I had to manually download 15 game updates. Some games it updates, but I want them all updated. One of the most annoying things on the Ps3 was starting a game up only to discover that an update needed to be downloaded, and you had to wait...and wait.

It's the same thing on the PS4. It only updates the most recently played titles. I want everything kept up to date.

I finally got to try Share Play. Played some Diablo III with my best friend. It worked really well, seamlessly. I'm pretty impressed.

Also our voice chat was by far the clearest it's ever been. Was that somehow a function of 2.0 as well?

Sony has anounced the free games for December and January...

PS Plus Free PS4 Games For Dec 2014 & Jan 2015: Injustice God's Among Us, Infamous: First Light And More

In December, PlayStation 4 owners with PlayStation Plus subscription will receive "Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition and Secret Ponchos" as free games. For those who are unaware of Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition is the first AAA Blu-ray title to join the Instant Game Collection for PS4.

Furthermore, In January 2015, PlayStation 4 owners with PS Plus subscription will receive inFAMOUS First Light and The Swapper for PS4.

I'm not a fighting game guy, but the story mode in Injustice is fantastic.

I bought Injustice Ultimate when it was previously on sale for $8.40 so I don't feel so bad about it being free now.

Good news on First Light and Swapper!

At least we are not getting some crappy 8-bit Viking game.

The Swapper is FANTASTIC. It's a portal-like puzzle game. It got me stumped good a few times. Creepy and atmospheric as well. And a triple-cross-buy title (though much easier to play on the PS4 than the Vita).
I also own Injustice (also bought it on sale for cheap). Great game. Glad I waited on that inFamous stand-alone DLC.

I guess they announced the Dec/Jan games hella early as a sort of appology for the #driveclub #clusterfuck.

------------------------
It's a super-early announcement considering they didn't officially announce the November games until this morning!

nice re: First Light
gonna fetch me that for free

Wow, First Light? Glad I was lazy and never got around to picking it up.

Looks like Sony put a quick fix out for Rest Mode issues that some have been having.

I just got 2.01 pushed to my PS4.
