Was about to do the same… I wanted to write a review, and got that 500 error msg...

@barry000:

Drivatar is not an "avatar", it's a feature in the game, which is like bots playing as your friends (using their likeness, maneuverings etc, all AI stored in the cloud), and that's pretty cool by the way (it's like playing multiplayer with your friends when they are offline, wait --what?!)

anyways, as for multiplatform games, I got both PS4 and X1, all the multiplatforms I got on X1, I got the PS4 mainly for exclusives and PSN stuff…

games run great on both consoles. of course there are those infamous 720p on X1 (CoD:Ghosts for instance and ACIV) but I'm not worried, because in the near future it's more likely every game will have to be 1080p -- publisher will push devs to do it, devs will be more comfortable with the platform as well (look at the latter games from last gen, graphics look great for a 2004/2005 hardware, right?), so in the long run they will probably be the same. NFS:Rivals really surprised me, great visuals…

FIFA looks terrible on both, in my opinion -- it's just a port from the last gen. It's less than 10gb… it's not made from the ground up, just like CoD or BF4, even ACIV (although BF4 has more eye-popping features and sound…), so let's wait for the new games to come up...

maybe the videos you saw weren't using the HDMI Full Range RGB colors on the PS4. Colors look great on both consoles, using proper screen calibration. Don't use the auto-contrast (dynamic contrast), don't change the black levels, gamma, etc… leave the TV/monitor at 60hz because that's what the games will deliver at most, this 120hz, 240hz, etc TV modes are just useless in gaming… everything will look worse.

the exclusives so far, I'm not impressed on the PS4 games I have, they all look like "cool" PS3 games… the X1 got some better visuals on some games (Ryse has great visuals, whether the gameplay is worth or not, the graphics are awesome).

for the console features, I like the Kinect integration on the X1 itself, it's completely optional, you don't have to plug it in at all -- and the way games use it is also clever and not overwhelming (leaning on Battlefield to look around the corners for instance), I don't have the PS camera and I don't plan on getting it, nor Move.. I simply prefer the PS4 as a gaming console as it is, leaving the motion stuff to kinect already, so I can't opine on that…

the controller is a matter of taste, but I prefer the X1 all the way, hands down… I never like the DS controllers, analogs way too soft and close to each other, the triggers are too rubber-band for FPS, I dunno… haven't found any real use for the touchpad yet, aside some lame gadgets calling in Killzone (swiping), but it also gets in the way all the time -- trying to press the home button is also troublesome, right in the middle of the analogs, the share/options buttons are too small and hard to press in the middle of the action (to pause for instance), I dunno, it's not for me I guess…

I love the fact you can simply switch the HDD on the PS4 with no trouble at all, slide the cover, unscrew the HDD and replace… install the system via USB and that's it. I put a 1TB HDD on mine, working flawlessly and got plenty of space to download stuff. about the cover, both consoles are plastic that WILL get scratch easily no matter what. the X1 has the air exhaust on the top, which is much better in my opinion, since the hot air goes up… the PS4 is like the previous, hot air coming from behind, so it's not good to keep it in a closed rack or in against the wall surrounded…

But in the end, if you got the $$, grab both. in the long run, the exclusives will matter most for the gamer. and both will have awesome ones. as for now, PS4 only got a few that are not impressive as the ones X1 have (which also have much more variety on the exclusives side). as for the multiplatform games, most will run at higher resolution on the PS4, but soon they will probably run the same on both, so it won't probably matter in the long run. if you have to pick a side, consider things like controller, peripherals (kinect or ps camera/move, smartglass/ps companion/ps vita remote play), and exclusives. graphics-wise for multiplatform they will end up the same, you will see.

when my ps4 arrived, 1st thing I did was change the HDD… I replaced with a 1TB HDD, then went to start everything up and… black screen and blue light softly blinking...

I started to freak out, thought that maybe the HDD screwed everything up, but in my case the HDMI that came with my unit was FAULTY… switched the HDMI cable (with, surprise, the one I was using with my old 360) and bam, the safe mode screen popped up and I simply started installing the system and everything was good to go….

of all things… the DAMN HDMI cable came faulty, WT..?!

No preference in order, depending on your tastes (check table for references)

• Diablo 3 (4p e/aRPG)
• Bordelands 2 (2p sc/e/FPS)
• Sacred 2 (2p e/aRPG)
• Hunted (2p e/3PS)
• Arkadian Warriors (XBLA, 2p s/aRPG)
• Crimson Alliance (XBLA, 4p s/aRPG)
• Eternal Sonata (3p I think e/aRPG)
• Fable II and III (2p e/aRPG)

My personal favorites would be Diablo and Borderlands, two completely different games, but awesome especially as a couch co-op game goes.

So this is annoying me, suddenly a couple of stuff I never downloaded showed up in the right end of my "Games & Apps" dashboard, with the "cloud" tag, saying "ready to install", as if I once downloaded it, then deleted. You know, like when you download something on iTunes, then delete it, the price tag button becomes an iCloud button meaning you already own that and you just have to re-download it.

Now, how do I remove those cloud apps?!? Is it even possible as of right now? I downloaded a couple of demos and deleted and now they are showing up there too, so the clouds are becoming a storm… soon it will become a hurricane in my dashboard… looks ugly...

Killzone, Knack. and Resogun. the only exclusives at launch day I can think of. and none that impressive enough to justify the purchase. the whole other bunch of games are either "HD remake" or just ports/multiplatform stuff...

really, if people are crazy about getting a PS4, just wait until March or so… no reason to grab one while it's "out of stock" everywhere… you can play most of the games it has right now in any other platform out there...

@Joseph881: cool, thank you

I looked in the description, the lack of local co-op was a no-buying for me, at least for now (since my friends won't probably be buying this)...

especially for a mobile port of an not-so-new game… how long is it? achievements-wise? fun to hunt?!

So I'm planning on getting a new 1TB HDD for my PS4 and since my PS3 is stuck with its good old original 40gb (yes, got it back on launch days and never bothered to upgrade it), just wondered if I could get my 500gb from the PS4 and reformat or whatever once I put it into my PS3.

Plug and play, right?! no secrets here?

Today it's Criminal records, I'm doing 1 laps nonstop just for $. Leave gamertag and I'll invite! I got 2x GTAs running, so one is "afc" and will always stay in last place, so $ is guaranteed!
