PlayStation 4

...if they get Persona 3 FES on there, I willingly get it for the Vita. When it comes out for the Vita.

Come on Shadow Hearts, Okami and Shadow Of The Colossus...

I need a new sig.

I played so many Dragon Ball fighters back in the PS 2 generation, so replicating my entire library is probably a pipe dream.

Oh shit I can have Budokai back, I just realized that. Awesome.

Oh really when?

So PSN is down for me, and others it seems, judging by a quick search. It said maintenance when I tried to log in. Anyone know if this is correct?

Also, it says that maintenance is scheduled for Thursday from 5pm GMT, estimated to be down for four hours. Why the fuck do they schedule it in the evening, when most people play?

So PS Now can be up in the morning?

Yeah, but why not do it at times when people aren't playing? Or is it one of those things where it's down worldwide, and the time is convenient for America?

Getting really tired of these outages. What's this now, three in the last couple of months?

It's mid afternoon to evening here in the states. And on the day that the PS Store updates. Definitely not convenient.

this place needs me here

Well, that just makes it even more ridiculous. I play FFXIV, and usually their maintenance (on the EU server I play on, at least) is from around 4am to 10pm GMT, and very few people play during those hours.

EDIT - PSN is back up for me. For now, at least.

Don't forget the 10% discount! What will you use it for? I'm thinking about maybe pre-ordering The Witcher 3.

If it lasted one more day I would have bought Neptunia Rebirth 2, which comes out the day after the code expires, but as it is I will probably pick up Atelier Ayesha Plus.

It says that it can be used for preorders.

I'll be using it for Assassin's Creed Liberation HD.

I have no idea what I would use it for, or even if I'd use it at all. Spending money on something I wouldn't have bought without 10% off is not saving money.

Might have a look at what's available though.

I'mma pass as well I think. I haven't been on my PS 3 much recently.

The only thing I'd be likely to get would be some little game that was already cheap (related point, I got Nidhogg, and literally no-one else is playing it), I already have enough full fat games to keep me going until at least May ^note FFXIV just got new content, with more to come in the following weeks, I'm halfway through Shadow of Mordor, still got stuff to on Little Big Planet 3 once they get online multiplayer working properly (get it together guys), and my head is going to explode in March, with FFXIV's Heavensward expansion landing and the release of Bloodborne, not to mention Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, which I may have to leave until I'm done with everything else..

No, but getting something you were planning on getting eventually anyway now because you have 10% off is. :P

Everything I'm already getting though, I'd rather have on disc. I just like having a physical thing. Bit old fashioned these days, I know.

That said, I would like an option to install a game from a disc onto the PS 4 so I don't have to get up and put the disc in every time :P I guess that's what they mean when they say you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Bloodborne just went up for pre-order on the store so now I know what I will use my code for.

I already have that preordered, and like I said, I'd rather have the disc :P

Those wanting to use your discount on a pre-order are out of luck.

Pretty poor communication on their part for not making that clear. Seems some of their own community managers were even telling people it worked with pre-orders.

Hmm. I wonder what I should use mine for. (Has a Vita only)

All the codes for Europe and Australia. If you want to use it for Vita it seems you have to use the website store instead of the console one.

You could also buy the game itself on the PS 4 and not download it then it will appear in the DL list on your vita for downloading and installing.

Rumors of a slim PS4 variant are circling round the Net already. If true, this is ridiculously tiny and ridiculously early in the lifecycle.

Lampshade Hanging: It's a lifestyle.

I don't own a PS 4 yet. I think I'm going to make the plunge when I move to Canada some point in the future. Or when the price is at a nice sweet spot (~£250). Will the slimline be more or less expensive than the original on release?

Also, does anyone know when Seagate will release a 2.5", 2TB SSHD? That would be ideal for the PS 4 due to conferring good performance boost at a reasonable price and offering buckets of storage, considering the tend towards massive game installs exhibited by that system. I'm just not sure if it's possible to cram the requisite amount of storage onto the platters AND keep the NAND flash memory component. Or perhaps it is, and it's just a matter of time for their R&D team to get it perfected.
