Just going on record: picked up my PS4 at last night's midnight launch (12am PST). Got it home tried to update to FW 1.5 via USB (saw reports of people getting problems during downloads, so I skipped internet connection setup and went straight to update via USB). 1st attempt at FW update, looked like it took, but on reboot, screen was blank and got pulsing blue light (uh oh!).

Actually, I posted the above shortly before leaving for a GameStop midnight launch.

Got my FW 1.5, got onto PSN, got my Resogun, Contrast, Warframe, and Retribution. All I've got left is to get... home from work tonight to enjoy my tasty 1080p.

"There aren’t any swiping gestures for UI navigation like what was shown at the reveal."

You mean that stuff was <gasp> *faked?!*

Looks like the only thing worth watching was Shuderas, and I was putting the kid to bed when that happened.

Maybe Uncharted is a "classic franchise?" I guess?

@MoreDenialAndGreen (with envy)

Super Stardust did 1080p and 120fps... just not at the same time.

"Hell just look at the lense and mic configuration and the design(shape) of the PS4 camera."

Look at it. LOOK at it. LOOK AT IT!!!

And?

You know all those resources that allow the PS4 to be "more graphical" can be applied to other areas of a game, right?

Right?

And one would think that for a VIDEO game console to be inherently "less graphical" would be a definite point of inferiority.

Fake character, fake delivery.

No packing/padding in the shipping box? Just a loose PS4 box rattling around with three inches of empty space on each side?

"The guy" also got a PS4 early? Lucky dude, "that guy."

I did a little Googling the other day and in 2011 MisterXMedia's "insider" was saying that the Wii U would have a built-in projector. Dude is a farce.

"Blah blah blah TOS."

Please direct us to the specific section of the TOS that was violated.

The "banning" is understandable from a particular viewpoint (accessing unfinished infrastructure), but there should have been an email/message to the ban-ee along the lines of "we apologize for the inconvenience, but access to XBL is being restricted until official release on 11/22." He shouldn't have had to make a stink all over the ...

But... um... the PS4 still plays games without ever hooking to the net.

@jimbob: Hell yeah. Actually been screwing around a bit lately with Paradise City. And there are still lots of full lobbies online!

Next-gen Paradise City with 64-player online FTW.

Nice try Elzer, but I'd bet a paycheck the answer would be the same. Sony doesn't have a history of banning customers due to mistakes of retailers.

@XB1_PS4: And exactly what part of the Terms of Use are you proposing he violated?

And people still want to buy consoles from these a-holes. MS is a blight on the games industry.

Question is, does the Xbone pass through the full 1080p native? No downscaling/upscaling?
