The trigger extenders? I really doubt it. The PS4's triggers are much bigger.

FWIW, my local Fry's has plenty of PS4s in stock. I may bite soon.

My warehouse deals ps4 showed up this morning. It was listed as like new, but it was a brand new, still sealed, launch edition with the $10 credit inside. The box was beat to shit, but I'll take that for the $110 discount I got.

Have you seen any Xbox Ones pop up on there? Curious to see what those are going for.

There was an xbox one day one edition in similar condition for $470. There have been some normal ones in the 350 range.

That's awesome and I'm glad it worked out. Where might one be able to find and keep an eye on Amazon Warehouse for such deals?

...Aaaaand I found it because I know how to Google. Thanks for the tip, all the same.

My system just arrived. Did a boot test, which went fine, then unplugged it, pulled the hard drive and inserted my 7200rpm 750GB drive. I'm now installing the system software via USB.

Oh, and my system came with the $10 PSN credit. Score!

Don't lose or sell the 500 GB HDD that it comes with. You'll need that if you ever need to return the system for an exchange.

Is anyone having trouble signing in to the PSN through the web? I tried it on Chrome, Chromium, and Firefox, all without success.

I can't do it either. Service might be down. Not unusual for PSN, of course.

re: PS4 Release Thread: Kill Launch App #Driveclub due October 2014!!!

Okay, so I'm playing AC4. I get a notification, and I click the PS button. It takes me out to the main menu without any lag, I take care of the notification (a download had stopped, so I resumed it), then clicked back on the AC4 icon, and it took me to the exact spot I had bounced out of, again without any lag. Just a little thing like that makes me appreciate the new system.

Also, holy cow this game looks fantastic. I don't know how it looks on the PS3/360, but it's pretty spectacular on the PS4.

There's comparison videos online, but yeah, the biggest difference is the water, but there's more detail and better textures on the PS4 compared to the PS3

Yeah, it's a good looking game on the PS4. Fun too. I've been playing it a fair amount lately. Last night my best friend asked me to play Splinter Cell with him and the controls and gameplay are just close enough that I kept screwing everything up with the incorrect button presses when I was trying to be stealthy!

It is gorgeous and it is such a good game.

Don't neglect the multiplayer either. The Wanted mode is brilliant.

Loaded up Warframe, starts downloading a 1 GB patch and I can't jump to another game because it will close Warframe. THIS GEN SUCKS

No. Finding Amazon Warehouse deals after tlwizard found a smokin' deal on a PS4. Amazon does a mighty good job of hiding the Warehouse deals.

I get that, I was asking story how he's tracking Warehouse deals. He didn't say what he found on Google, but I'm assuming it's the tracker app.

Edit: or maybe he had no idea how to find the Amazon Warehouse site itself. Which I guess makes sense.

I imagine he's just checking a webpage like this one periodically. tlwizard has been doing that for years and getting great deals as a result. I'm not that patient.
