re: The PlayStation 4 / PS4 Thread: Still Going Strong
Knack was one of three games I got with the PS4 at launch. It's a good game for a Parent and Kid to go thru on couch co-op especially when it came out because it did look different and played easy while fun. There are plenty of areas where they can expand and give a bit more elbow room and make it a bit more challenging. We've gone thru it several times but we did not like the way it saved or forced you to run it multiple times and get the crystals over and over.

re: The PlayStation 4 / PS4 Thread: Still Going Strong
Got a question regarding old games on the hard drive...basically what to keep and/or get rid of....
I've got a 1TB Hybrid Drive and have roughly 120gb free. I've gone back and there's a few games I've finished and done with but never really cleaned out due to that fear some added or Part 2 game would pop up and needs the user information.....like one of the first games I had was Infamous Son 2, great fun game but it's around 35gb and haven't touched it for two years.
Deleting the game is ok while the User Data is retained and can be saved to Cloud correct so if anything does come around and needs previous data I can DL that and use it...correct.
I might go ahead with the holiday's and explore a new 2TB but I'd like to see how much I can clean out and save first.

Just a small write-up from Gameinformer on someone who played two demos of Knack 2 at PSX....

Left Behind launched at $15 in the U.S.
It's large enough to get a standalone physical release at retail. It's not reusing a bunch of existing assets either like, say, Infamous: First Light. Maybe I'll be surprised, but I cannot imagine this being $20.

Update 2: Uncharted: Lost Legacy is to be made available as a standalone physical and digital release, but it’s also the single player content promised as part of the Uncharted 4 ‘Explorer’s Pack’ season pass.
You will get the download at launch if you have that, whether bought separately or as part of the Digital Deluxe Edition. However, you only have until December 13th to pick up either of these – the Explorer’s Pack is currently £19.99 – in what we assume it a similar to Dying Light and Fallout 4’s expansive season passes getting price hikes once the developers announced how big they were going to be. Fair’s fair, you have your warning.

So it's still DLC in that it comes with one of those old Season Pass options, but only for a limited time. Makes me think at least $15 or $20 or so might be likely, but hoping for cheaper.

The season pass is on sale for $22.49 this week at Best Buy. Yeah, it's only a $2.50 discount, but it's better than nothing.

I've gone back and forth since I don't do Uncharted MP and therefor have no need for 3,200 Uncharted Points or Coins or whatever. Still, I figure there's no way this comes out for under $20 and might be a fair amount more. So in the end I figure it's worth gambling and paying $22.49 now and locking it up. Thanks for that heads up, matty

Sounds about right. With tax that's over $26 for me. Saving $4 is worth the blind buy for me even though I'll never use the Coins I'm buying in the pack.
It is cool for those that play the MP that they're giving all the map DLC for free.
BTW : In case anyone was wondering if my warranty console swap achieved anything positive besides cleaning up my hard drive, it didn't. I still kept getting kicked out of Battlefield MP before the match started. Finally in exasperation I went to Costco and splurged on a $250 Nighthawk A6. When I was finally able to set it up, like magic I was finally able to play Battlefield MP. Everything else in the house works better now. Back to Costco goes the previous $140 router; the upgrade is well worth the extra $110. Wish I had tried that before sending my PS4 in for "repair". In any case, it looks like my problems are over now.

The weird thing about it was that I wasn't even using WiFi. I plugged the console directly into an ethernet port on the router, got decent connection speeds above 30Mbps and could play other Multiplayer games. I just couldn't play Battlefield. And the other weird thing is that EA couldn't figure out that was the problem.

Not sure why but PS4 Netflix doesn't like powerline adapters. Movies look worse than VHS and the "test internet connection" gives me a whopping 75kbps... Weird, worked fine on the PS3. Anyway, since I have a dual band router now, I just switched to 5.0 wifi and everything is fine.

Over 50 million sold now

Seeing sales figures always reminds me of a certain poster who was certain that the Wii U sales were poor because the market wasn't interested in consoles anymore.

Those were the days. We had a perfect trifecta of, let's say, instigators.

Thanks for the tip. I'm still going strong with the multiplayer, and am excited for the new co-op modes and story stuff, so this is a great deal.
