Yeah, it seems up until now they liked to hide the deals and PS+ content.

There are also the normal PS4 ones but metal in various colors as well. I may end up going with the Xbox sticks or either metal later on. I'm on my second set of "Grip-its" for one side. Maybe just a bit of advice....I ordered a set of (5) L&R Triggers that was like $15. I had one break where one of the pins on the side broke off and the trigger was sticking. It was the right one and in Destiny I would just start shooting endlessly. Just something to think about, far cheaper than another controller.

So I did the stick swap about a year ago, and the rubber on my XONE sticks is peeling off just like the original DS4 sticks did. Im pretty sure I bought the ones in the post I quoted above.

Didn't sony address the poor rubber quality with the newer DS4's? I thought I read that somewhere. I might just end up buying and new controller. The battery doesnt seem to ever get to a full charge anymore anyway. Probably time for a new one. I hope having to swap out the sticks every year because of tearing rubber doesnt become a regular thing. I've never had a problem like this with the original DS sticks going all the way back to PS1. I've had my PS4 for less than 2 years and one of my controllers is needing a 3rd set of sticks.

Wouldn't you want to be a fly on the wall while these two met.....

MGS V Dev Hideo Kojima Tweets A Photo With PS4 Architect Mark Cerny, What's Happening There?

Hideo Kojima has just tweeted a photo from an informal meeting with Sony's Mark Cerny. Cerny was responsible for leading PlayStation 4's development process and also worked on the not-much-appreciated launch title Knack.

Well, Sony has been talking about how they want to make more, better original exclusives.

The font size on the UI seems huge now after the system update; it just doesn't look as clean as before. Is there any way to make it smaller?

Did Target break the news of an impending price drop?

No, I had heard people talking about that it was getting a price drop... some said only like $30 though which was ridiculous and needed to be at least $50.

I didn't see a thread on Dragon Quest Hero's but does anyone know if the game has co-op...couch co-op. split screen, on-line only or not at all? I've seen trailers and about all seem to have one playing the game.

If anyone has waited this long to pick up a Ps4, I honestly would beg them to wait until black Friday...as I said earlier, there will be 350 dollar deals with maybe 4 games....I also think we will see sub 300 deals without any games.

Have the older models been completely replaced by the newer, more energy efficient model at stores nationwide?

I think it was announced that Japan was getting a price drop to less than $300. Part of that push is to spark sales in Japan where the console market is not the same as it had been in the past. Mobile games are more dominant. Last gen the price drops began on the 2nd year and we are in the second year of the current gen. Speculation has at least a $50 price cut and possibilities of bundles with deeper cuts

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

yea...don't think is. I even went to co-optimus site and there is nothing. For a game that has a lot of hype over in Japan and about to be released, sure skimpy on the details. Shame looks like it could be a decent fun game for adults and kids. Guess I'll have to stay with Earth Defense Force (360), Knack and Lan-play with Diablo.
