PlayStation 4 Console Thread

[TreadingWater]

So it's normal for Amazon to still say my PS4 is 'pre-ordered'? Because I'm freaking out and regretting every decision I ever made.

[kiroquai]

Yep - that won't change until tomorrow. Amazon usually change the status when the order is actually ready and has been dispatched, unlike a few stores that change them early.

[murray]

Mine says "Not Yet Dispatched", so WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR MY ORDER OH MY GOD.

[DC Lemon]

Super Mario 3D World has shipped and now I'm in the awkward position of not really caring if my PS4 gets here on Friday.

Launch hype at its finest!

[LiMuBai]

Word of warning: changing your billing address does not automatically change your delivery address. A mate of mine at work just got an Xbox One and games delivered to him at home. He didn't order one. But he did just move house last week, so whoever lived there before him must be wondering where the hell their shiny new console is. Luckily he did the right thing at took it back to post office

[Chadruharazzeb]

He was probably hoping for a PS4 instead.

I got my shipping mail!

I can't see how I'm meant to track my parcel though... None of the numbers in the mail come up as deliveries on DPD's tracker.

[davejm]

Surely that won't happen until DPD pick up the parcel?

[MansizeRooster]

But I want to see where it is noooowwwwwww...

[davejm]

ShopTo warehouse?

[kiroquai]

ShopTo (from experience) tend to mark things as shipped before they've actually been shipped, which is a little bit cheeky in a way.

[MansizeRooster]

I can't wait until I have the box sat on my desk. When people ask what it is, I'll refuse to tell them. It'll be my wonderful little secret.

Alright I've got another question about the US PSN Store: we've established that you can't use UK based debit/ credit cards to add funds, but does Paypal work? Trying to simplify things here, having to buy vouchers from Amazon.com in units of $10 $20 or $50 shall be a last resort.

If I have money in paypal I usually just add PSN credit to my US account on the webstore via paypal. But it sometimes works out cheaper to get an instant code from Play-Asia.

I'm already practising my "got a headache" voice for work on Friday.

[Harsin]

I'm being a dunce, but how do yous end friend requests on the PlayStation App?

[jonnyalpha]

Your typing looks a bit peaky. You coming down with something Sng?

Excellent, nice one.

In the friends list, press where it says online, and change it to 'Find Player on PSN'. Search for the player and then you can add them.

Unless you're a prostitute I'm not sure you'll get off work for that.

[SeanR]

you need to go full blown clint eastwood.

[toythatkills]

Anyone with a US PSN account can get Knack and Killzone for $45 each, kind of.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1001625111&tag=viglink129408-20

They're $50, which is cheap anyway, but you'll then get a $5 code to use on a future PSN purchase. Probably around £30 all told.

[Harsin]

Hmmm I keep getting cannot connect to server now on the Playstation App. Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence for their online on Friday.

[Chadruharazzeb]

The app is garbage anyway, it's basically just a front end for links to pages on the website.

[Sng]

They survived the US launch with minor issues so I think we'll be fine.

[gospvg]

I'm being a dunce, but how do yous end friend requests on the PlayStation App?

I ignore them & they just go away after a few hours of accepting the request.

[Charliemouse]

Anyone else going to Game at midnight tomorrow in Hull?

God no, the last place I would want to be at 12AM is the Prospect Centre, or is the smaller one In the far nicer St Stephens opening at midnight as well?

[NecroMorrius]

Nope, it isn't.

The "what's new" section is in-app, the friends section is in-app, the settings section is in-app, the trophies section is in-app, the profile section is in-app. All the notifications are in-app. Whenever there's a video or a screenshot shared, they display in-app. The store button redirects to the mobile version of the SEN store, which works fine. Because why have two front-ends for the same store on the same device?

[Graham S]

Might buy a cheap USB stick today just in case. How big is the update?

[gospvg]

When compared to the Steam app it's poor but for a first stab it is ok for now. I am sure it will be improved over time.
