I wanted his too but also Ghost Recon because I wanted some co-op play after playing Fallout 4. Might have to bite on this but the 50% off Mass Effect looks appealing as well. But who doesn't want to play with Bows and Techno Dinos....

Grabbed Horizon at Best Buy. First, it didn't ring up as $39.99... then they wouldn't apply the gamers club discount so I had to show them the $31.99 price on my phone. A bit of a hassle but it got figured out. been looking forward to playing it for quite awhile now, hopefully I can make time for it

Thinking about buying a second PS4 so my partner and I can play more multiplayer games together. Does anyone know how PS+ works with 2 consoles? Do I need to buy 2 versions of PS+?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the license for digital games only work on the one set as the primary console. So you would have to bounce back and forth or buy two PS+ subscriptions if you both wanted to play at the same time.

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

My understanding on playing games is that if He logs into MY primary PS4, he can play the game there, and if I log into the second PS4, I can play any games I bought. I'm not sure how that works with online games, though, if both PS4 need PS+ licenses to get online

*EDIT
Actually I think I'm going to have to go back and re-read this thread, because I think I asked this (and it was answered) already

Yes, using HDR on my Darth Vader (Non Pro) PS4 looks fantastic!

My only issue is with the bad lipsync in some scenes, but maybe that's because I have Boost Mode turned on and I've heard it can cause quirks with some games.
But yeah... the game is awesome!

Realized it hadn't been posted here, but PlayStation is running their own E3 streaming content, and you can get rewarded by watching and doing little quests (much easier than the days of the PlayStation Home E3 quests.)

Here's the link: live.playstation.com

Although I missed out on it, yesterday they gave away the game Pyre.

They're also giving out dynamic themes, some MLB The Show DLC, Dreadnought DLC and more.

It's kinda cool to see that Knack 2 is only $39.99, unlike the full-priced first game.

Yeah, in the same way that it's kinda cool to see that your kid doesn't try to stick his fork in the electrical socket...the next time.

You can get a few free themes and stuff really quickly.

Also, checking my download list, I seem to have Payday 2 for the PS4 since 6/9/17 without purchasing it or getting it from PS Plus (the PS3 version was a free game previously). Anyone else find that?

There was a full game trial available for awhile, are you sure it's not part of that? I'm showing that it's on sale right now for $5.99, 70% off.

Sony is finally releasing an officially licensed media remote for the PS4.

Sony is not releasing it... it is officially licensed and made by PDP.

I'm in if it doesn't have the connection / battery annoyances that the lousy current remote has.

This prompted me to recheck if Logitech had a way to get the Harmony remotes to work with the PS4, specifically with powering up/down included. Looks like another company, PDP, has one coming out next month. Hopefully I can finally start using my One remote to fully control the PS4.

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

I don't get it, isn't that just a stripped down version of the current pdp officially licensed remote?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pdp-offi...=ref:212,loc:2

Both are Bluetooth. The Harmony Bluetooth remote (the one with the receiver) actually updated their software a bit before the first official remote came out. It won't turn the system on and it still turns it off with a programmed sequence of button pushes that can go wrong, but it works sooo much better than it used to.

But integration with the PS2 is still better and I still use that to play blu rays.

How did you get your PS2 to play blu-rays?

Argh that's the second time I referred to the PS3 as the PS2.
