PS4

[Scott K]

So did anyone go out last night and get their new PS4? What is your thoughts? I have one buddy that picked his up last night, went home to set it up, then went to sleep. He didnt play at all.

Got mine last night. Set it up, PSN was down so played Ghosts Campaign for about 40 minutes and went to bed.

Do the graphics live up to the hype?

[LwnmwnMan2]

Never played campaign before, so I'm not sure how it compares.

Sold 1 Million units in 24 hours.

Supposedly Gamestop has 2.3 Mil units on back-order.

Have there been any further developments in the "blue LED of death" issue?

From the Washington Post:

Race said that the number of units affected overall, however, is fewer than 1 percent of all consoles sold and added those issues are “within the expected range for a new product introduction.” He added that some of the units may have been damaged during the shipping process.

Sony has released a troubleshooting guide to help consumers resolve some of the problems and is also working to exchange non-functioning consoles.

“We understand the frustration of consumers that have had a problem and are working with them and our retail partners to help troubleshoot issues and ensure affected units are exchanged,” the statement said.

Sounds like XBox One is having some issues as well. To be expected on both.

Possibly the best unboxing video of all time. Warning: some bad language.

[LMITOUT]

Terrible.

I don't know anything about these units but my 13 year old son thinks he wants to trade in his PS3 for a PS4. Do you gamers think it is worth it? Will his PS3 games still work in a PS4?

Dave,

Nope the PS3/PS4 are non backwards compatible. So all his PS3 games are obsolete if he buys a PS4 and gets rid of the 3. Same goes for the Xbox 360 and ONE they are also not backwards compatible. That is one of my biggest complaints with both of these systems.

[Big Dave2]

Thanks jpz, I was getting conflicting reports about the backwords compatibility thing.
