I just went to buy knack… and it just let me download it… is Knack supposed to be free right now?
PUMPED! Flower,Contrast,Lego:MSH to start. ADORE the connectivity,sharing,look,feel of the console…everything. hashtaghappyboy
Curious if anyone knows where the Killzone Shadowfall Original Soundtrack can be found. It’s listed as one of the pre-order bonuses, but I can’t find it anywhere. Got the rest of the bonus items though.
Ryan, can anyone find out and comment back?
@51 Did you pre-order Knack? That’s about the only reason I can think of why you wouldn’t be charged on checkout.
I’ve never been so pumped about a console. The lineup is great!
I did the COD PS3-PS4 upgrade from disc and the game wont load it stops
@54 I don’t REMEMBER preording KNack… that doesn’t necessarily mean it didn’t happen lol
as to the coveted first game played… there’s only one option: Resogun. That game is fantastic. Already played it for a couple hours before work, planning to play more whne I get home.
The Pinball Arcade!!!
PINBALL!!!
what? no jrpg for the ps4 in the near future.sony am cry!
OMG Angry Birds, I’m stoked!!!!! ….said no one ever
Man, am I the only one unable to sign in to the PSN on my PS4?
Has anyone played the playroom yet? What’s it like? Worth buying the camera for?
Two days in and loving my Ps4. The games look amazing and know it will only get better. Very fast UI being able to jump in and out of games apps. Just a smart machine …
@ 63 trophy hunters would get it , some very easy ones to get. But, right now besides broadcasting element.
Christmas came early this year. Really enjoying this new beast of a machine. Only issues I have at the moment is some PSN issues with Resogun and Netflix (not downloading). Hopefully this will be fixed with the maintenance update happening right now.
Such potential here….
killzone shadow fall is the first game I grabbed, I would of got another game but it got delayed.
Out of all these games I think I might actually go for Assassins creed and Lego. Looking forward to getting my console today!
I might get Trine 2 down the road, it looks like it is a fun game to play, especially with your friends.

ps4 turn itself off everytime!
got 15th NOV afternoon.
die 2 hours later
this is a gamer sucker of next gen.
been calling sony service all day and nobody answers the phone
@ dodgedoors: The “Library” at the far right of the program list is the “Download” list. It’s also available from inside the PS Store, near the bottom of the main menu column.
@ Asylum3395: Remember, you have to have the PS3 disc in the PS4 for the digital copy of the game to load. There’s some kind of authenticator on the disc required for the digital PS4 version to work.
As for the first game I played? Lego Marvel Superheroes. Played for about 5 hours. Then played Resogun for about 10 hours. Killzone is going to be #3 today. Excite!
Greatness has arrived!
i am also going all digital on the PS4 and its been great so far. i have all the games on that list but 3 that i was just no in to. GREATNESS IS HERE. and I LOVE IT!
I bought Call of Duty Ghosts and Killzone Shadow Fall, the sad thing is I couldn’t get a PS4 because they were sold out. Have the games but no console, so sad.
I played a TON of Knack… Chapter 7 I believe, with my kids… We all love it. Really great game. Obviously, people who made the reviews aren’t family people with kids… This game is PERFECT.
Also played a little bit with Lego Marvel, also an awesome game… My personal favorite so far would have to be Skylanders Swap Force… SO MUCH improvements from Skylanders Giants…
So, now that I’m putting my kids to bed soon, time for some Resogun, BF4, AC4, Killzone and Warframe :D
soooo… where are the games that I want? or, at least the ones I won’t get for my Wii U? I didn’t see South Park… I’m glad I have my PS3 for that.
Why are there less options for viewing trophies on my ps4 than on my ps3? I can’t sort. Can’t “hide” some games using the privacy features PS3 has. And much more.
no minecraft :(
I trying to find my son a PS4 when I can find one LOL everybody is sold out.. Of coarse I would love one too but I just got the all white 500mg PS3 (I LOVE IT) this year so I guess I wait on a all red or silver PS4 for myself
Planetside 2 PLEASE!!!!!!
I only see 1 game I would want for my PS4, Need for Speed. The rest I will pass up on, but I expect some great games that I like come out for the new console
can i ask one thing tho, do you have to pay for online gaming, cause people keep telling me, yes i do, no i dont, i just want a straight answer. please someone answer it

Is PlayStation Plus necessary for multiplayer gameplay on PS4?
Yes, PlayStation Plus membership is needed for PS4 online multiplayer gaming. PS4 features a significantly enhanced online feature set that will deliver innovative new online gaming experiences.
Will non PS Plus members be able to play free to play online games on PS4?
Certain titles built on a free-to-play model will not require PlayStation Plus for multiplayer functionality in North America. This list currently includes Blacklight Retribution, DC Universe Online, and War Frame in North America.
Can I play online without a Plus membership?
Generally speaking, no. PlayStation Plus membership is required to play the majority of online titles on PS4, however a selection of free-to-play multiplayer titles will be available without a PS Plus membership.
If we bought Trine 2 for PS3 already, why can’t we get the PS4 version free?
Nice job sony , your PS4 is just the best thing that ever happenned to me ;)
Cant wait for future game to arrive
cant believe it,2 days before release and 2 infamous and the division have been delayed till next year :(
When are more PS4’s coming out? I can’t find one anywhere.
