Pretty much, I think they also discount some games/downloads for Plus members as well

All of the other functions of the PS4 aren't coupled with PS Plus. You don't need Plus for Netflix, Amazon, party chat, remote play, etc., and you don't need Plus to play any of the free to play games.

But as noted, along with the freebies, Plus members get the best sales this side of Steam, and Decker does a great job keeping the PSN thread up to date with the latest weekly announcements. Here's the current post:

Hi everyone! Spring is here (even if Mother Nature hasn’t quite realized that yet) and that means one thing: it’s time for our annual Spring Fever promotion. I’m super excited to announce that this year’s event will bring new indie titles to both PS3 and PS4.

Just like last year’s Spring Fever promotion, over the next four weeks we are championing indie developers who are bringing new and exciting experiences to the PlayStation platforms and giving PS Plus members 20 % off each title during each game’s launch week. The Spring Fever lineup features titles from stellar indie developers and I think it is safe to say that this year’s lineup rivals (and maybe even surpasses) that of 2013.

Here is this year’s Spring Fever line-up:

Launch Week Title PS Plus Launch Week Price Regular Price
3/4 to 3/10 Awesomenauts Assemble (PS4) $7.99 $9.99
Master Reboot (PS3) $11.99 $14.99

3/25 to 3/31 Fez (PS4)** $9.99 $12.99
Fez (PS3)** $9.99 $12.99

*Cross-Buy with PS Vita
**Cross-Buy with PS4, PS3 and PS Vita

Along with the new game releases, we are also featuring sales on popular video game franchises including Need for Speed, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and BioShock. These sales will include both full games and popular downloadable content.

Djariya, if you are not playing online you should exchange BF4 for COD:Ghosts. COD has a lot of more things to entertain you in single player. You can even play some of the multiplayer modes offline, with bots.

Because it's LOL that people still "can't find it" when Target has stock. Amazon etc.

Just came from Target & Meijer. Only X1s in the cases. Not a PS4 in sight.

Didn't Wii sightings last for something like 2 years?

Please.

I think it's good that there's still that kind of demand for the console.

Nice try though.

I didn't either, but sharing photos of my builds in Warframe has become a regular thing. I'm sure other applications will come up.

Mine has had 1 in the case for 2 weeks now. Same spot. Not sure if it just hasn't sold or they grab some from the back when someone wants to purchase (Xbox case always has 4-5) As always, the only people who "can't find" them are just being lazy or liars.

I think it has been established that there are PS4's out there now to be found. But there is no denying that they have been extremely hard to find prior to the last few weeks.

It is of course possible that it's available in some places and not others.

Or in different cities. My local Targets have apparently had them on shelves for at most an hour since launch.

But no big deal, can always just order one off Amazon.

Why don't you just buy it so we don't have to hear about it anymore. Plus, it will give you a real reason to be in this thread.
