So beyond the issue that my PS4 doesn't fully recognize that I am a PS+ member it seems the other big issue I am aging is that my system keeps adding games to the download queue over and over again. I downloaded Contrast last night but didn't play it. I booted up the system this morning to play it and it was downloading it again. I canceled that download and as I clicked start under Contrast's menu a notification popped up saying it added Contrast to my download queue yet again.

I e-mailed Sony about these issues but I don't expect a super fast response.

to be fair, most people are most vocal when something is wrong, not when it it is right. not to say there aren't people out there who are MS fanboys trying to stir up shit, since that is certainly possible.

Is this really true?

...So I'm playing NBA 2K14 and I get beat by my man to the rim... Afterwards I yelled "shit!"... No joke the PS4's camera picked it up and gave me a technical foul in the game... WTF

I ordered it on Amazon (with Prime) when they first offered it. No special shipping options. From the invoice "Amazon Prime: Two-Day Shipping is free"

I have my Amazon Launch edition sitting in the box still. I'm actually afraid to open it and find out it doesn't work.

As for the signature questions regarding Amazon....... My package required no signature and they must not of even tried to knock or ring the doorbell because my PS4 sat on the porch for 5 hours all while my wife was home. I really wish Amazon used FedEx because they are the only company that I've had no problems with over the years.

2K14 is very pretty. I only play a basketball game every 2-3 years and rarely know much about the sport, but the game lets you play a quick matchup as it installs and I'm only down by 2 at the half.

For people playing Warframe, make sure you you buy the Orokin items, they will double the amount of skill points you can use when equipping mods in armor and weapons.

The only thing that you can't get by playing the game are the Orokin items and additional weapon/suit slots.

As an impartial observer of these threads over the last few months, I must say the bickering has been hilarious.

Well so far so good..I opted to do the update via USB Flash and it went perfect. I just got hooking up the console running it thru our Yamaha AVR 671 and zero issues. Connected the CAT cable and didn't have to do any net configuration at all and connected without a problem. I logged in using the account I set up long ago on the net and it reconized me right away. Entered the code Amazon sent and took all but 5 seconds to give me the green light. I'm now DL Warframe and then will get the Starter pack I signed up for. Later on see how to send friend request and while at it do some more looking around on the interface.

Yet to see a actual game but so far the setup has been flawless and straightforward. Before doing anything I did read the manual and went online to follow the instructions for the 1.50 update to a letter. Boy...my XBL friends are going to be pissssed....I haven't broke the news to a few of them. If I don't see anyone on later I did promise Diablo III run tonight on the 360. Good luck to everyone here.

both UPS & FedEX leave at door with no doorbell or sig required. Could have something to do with the 80 pound dog who barks at them like he wants to eat their throats when they come within 100 feet of the house....

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

OK, so I have a few questions that I'm hoping you guys can answer. I did not own a PS3 so I'm adjusting to the navigation.

Does it take long for everyone else to see their trophies? I'm logged on, but whenever I go to look at what new trophy I got it has to sync with PSN first. Aren't I logged on? I don't get this.

I have the free month of PSN+, but it still prompts me to buy it. Why? I was able to get the free games no problem.

In general it seems to take a while to load things in the dashboard. I thought this would be faster than the 360, but it seems stuck on that same speed. This seems to be related to anything PSN. Is it due to the influx of people?

Now, onto the game comments. Resogun is very fun, but I have no idea how the human thing works. Why do they sometimes die in their cage things? How do you know where and when they will be leaving. I feel like I get no notice sometimes before I find out a human has died. This game also doesn't seem to be recording my high scores. I have all levels unlocked, but it shows I have a 0 high score on every level.

I beat Contrast. It was an interesting game, but overly glitchy. I enjoyed the story though.

I have not touched any of the other games yet. Should I use my ten dollar credit to download Flower? I never played it, and have no idea what kind of game it is, but always heard good things about it.

I had this same issue and I think it was because I would quit out of the game before it ended (i.e. you lost all lives). Arcade Mode

Now I have the same high score for all the levels unlocked.

I'm guessing to get a high score for each individual level, we need to play Single Level and not Arcade.

In Resogun the reason some of the humans die in their cage is that you aren't fast enough killing the enemies. You have to kill a certain enemy within a short amount of time in order to get them out of the cage. If you don't, the human dies.

Kind of annoying, since it looks like you're doing everything right, and all of a sudden a human dies on you. I think the best I've done is 7 saved in a level.
