Playstation PlayStation 4 specs and controller OFFICIALLY revealed - Launching on Nov 15 (US) / Nov 29 (EU)

[Journeys End]

^^Buying at launch is a bad idea and hardware relayed issues is not the reason. Its the outrageous initial pricing here. Better wait for a few months.

Got my answer.Wha the hell do you mean by franky groupies?.What are you trying to prove?.And i always seeing you hating on Sony or trying to defend microsoft for nothing.If you just dont want to see a fight here so be cool.I know what frak does i will also ask him to stop fighting like that.Ignore posts like that you guys are ruining PG

Hey hey no need to get angry man. I never thought being called a friend of frakistan would register as insult
And u know what, i would love to enjoy launch of PS4 too but its people like frakistan and those who encourage him that really spoil the fun at both sides.
And u cant blame me for calling u his groupie coz well its only u who likes his every post, even the totally insane ones. But if u find that offensive then i apologise.

Game Sharing the Pakgamers way is gonneeee

PS4 Digital Content FAQ

 

[Frakistan]

i am ignoring all the above mentioned low blows by pg's xbone lawyer because i am owning him on the official xbone thread and if i pwn him here too that would be unfair.LOL

All the dumbasses who are buying on day one will start crying after 5-6 months when shitty over heating issue came up like before

Well from the track record if you remember xbox 360 golden number "33%" were defective consoles but PS had 3-4 % which is well under industry standard.So buying PS4 day one is a good choice but not the xbox one.

in order to get idiots to buy xbox one on day one,microsft has introduced a "Day One" edition LOL. this is called desperation,they just want some decent launch sales numbers considering THE BEAST will make records on NOVEMBER 15 2013.

PS4 Digital Content FAQ

from what i understand by the link you posted is that game sharing will continue the same way.

You can use up to 2 systems concurrently: the system activated as your "primary" PS4™ system, and one other system.

Same as PS3. So no need to worry you can still share content unlike other consoles

 

[tahirghori]

^ No but on the second console You can only Play the game from THAT VERY ACCOUNT IN WHICH THE GAME WAS BOUGHT, where as on the primary console any account can access the game.

So If One sells a game to me, he will have the primary account on his PS4, but i will have the secondary account. So i wont be able to play the game from my very account on my PS4. I will have to log into the account by which the game was bought. Is that not a problem ?

Thats what i understood from the FAQ. In PS3 i could access the game from any account from the Second PS3 no matter if the original account was accessed or not

The FAQ is not very clear on what happens on the Secondary Activated PS4 on the account." Can it or Can it not access the games from any account"
We will have to wait and see and I really hope that Game sharing remains the same as PS3 . Fingers crossed

Tahir bhai you are mixing up local accounts(on the same consoles) with accounts on more than one console.

any number of people can share the games on a single console and a primary account can be shared on two consoles therefore enabling game
sharing


i will also confirm it from the official forums as well

The system software update 1.50 is approximately 300 MB, and will include the following features

Remote Play:
Users will be able to access PS4 titles displayed on their living room TVs and play them on a PS Vita system over Wi-Fi networks by using PS4 Link (Depending on network environment or titles, remote play performance may vary outside of the home).

Remote play via internet,that wt i need mean i can play ps4 game even on shop ^_^

The PS4 system also enhances social spectating by enabling users to broadcast their gameplay in real-time to game fans around the globe, using Ustream and Twitch live internet streaming services

bro theyve minimised game sharing. Tahir is right.
a psn account can be either be labelled "primary" (where up to 4 accounts can enjoy your games on the home ps4) or "secondary" (where a second ps4 has access to your game library....but using only your account theyll be allowed to play games. They wont be able to start progression on their own account)

All the dumbasses who are buying on day one will start crying after 5-6 months when shitty over heating issue came up like before .. Am not a xbox fan but really you just came up with a first issue even before the launching "Ps4 day one patch for blueray drive so it can run blueray discs. wtf?" Dont know what will happen after the release..

Well i am getting mine with a 2 year extended warranty. So god forbid, my ps4 get spoiled for any reason, they give me a new one. Considering sony middle-east applies the same policy as they did with my ps3, got a new upgraded model for free.

Plus all this negativity, and "so called" reasons for not buying a ps4 on launch is ridiculous. No legit reasons, just cover-ups!!

This seems interesting ! I can always go to Dubai to buy it and then bring it to Pak .. Then if something happens God forbid, then refunding/replacing in Dubai will be much easier than US/Europe ..

How much does it cost in Dubai, with the 2-year extended warranty plan included ? And which edition of the console will they be selling ? US or European ? Is there anyway to get a US one maybe, since most of my 350+ blu-rays are Region A based ..

yaar for game sharing on the ps3 you also needed the main account (the account that bought the game) to be activated on your console and than you could play from secondary accounts.

If you want to play on another PS4 that isn't your primary console, you can download any game you've bought on the PS Store as long as you sign into PSN. Only you'll be able to start the games you've downloaded, and you can only be logged into two consoles at any one time: your primary PS4 and one other secondary one (like a friend's). The good news is there's no limit on the number of systems you can download your games to. You have to be logged in in order to play, but from the sounds of things this means you can share digital games with as many mates as you like, though only one of these secondary consoles will be able to play a title at any given time and you'll have to tell them your password so they can log in.

I won't say its that expensive ... The console's price is 1699 AED, which translates to about $462, which is only about $62 higher than the price in the US ... $62 is a very reasonable addition to the price, considering its being sold in Dubai, legally, after customs, international shipping, etc .. Although, comparing with the US price might not be okay since the Dubai version will most probably be European

I wonder if US version of PS4 will be sold in Dubai ..

New PS4 Details: Automatic Caching Games Not Install

Yoshida first confirmed that Playstation 4 does automaic caching to games, and its not the mandatory install. This is really huge news for Playstation 4, it basically mean, if you want to play CoD Ghosts and Killzone, you won't need 100GB of space (50GB each,) you'll just need 50GB to cache them.

That's more like it!.We can even upgrade storage and now this is a big win for sony.Not sure about mandatory installs on one but it's a big hit.
PS3 also used caching in games like Uncharted series The last of Us.E.t.c.If you see back of uncharted cover it says at least 1GB of free space.

Where i ordered mine from, i asked for it. The company (Geekay) gave me extended warranty from Sony middle east. Cost a 100 bucks more.

LOL!! Expensive in all aspects? I say its a steel for 1699AED.
Plus whoever is reluctant, there is a way.

My friend got a superslim couple of months back from dubai. Unfortunately, he screwed the console while updating firmware in karachi(load-shedding). They offered him free replacement with shipping included. Well that was coz i used my influence. Just giving an example, that if you really need to get on launch, and the only reason you are not getting it, is to avoid hassles, i suggest you think again.

Cool! So the 2-year extended warranty is available for the US versions and EU versions both ? Which version are you getting ? And are Geekay still accepting more pre-orders for the US version ?

2 years extended warranty is available for EU only. For US version, standard 1 year warranty.
I am getting EU 500gb, KZ:SF, extra controller and camera - ordered the bundle.

Na, geekay not taking any more orders. Apparently, from what i've heard, they are having issues already completing the orders they have (50k plus). Though virgin megastore is taking pre-orders, but it ain't launch day.
