I got my PS4 on launch day just like Amazon said I would. I was antsy all day waiting at work but, lo and behold, it was on my doorstep when I arrived. If the neighbors had known what precious item waited in my package surely they would have nabbed it, but luckily they were none the wiser. I was actually pretty disappointed with the packaging on amazon's part. However, I'm not here to rate the packaging I'm here to rate the product. But if I was here to rate the packaging it would get 3/5 stars.
The PS4 is great though. It's a significant improvement to the PS3, and I can't wait for some of the great games that are coming out in the future. The system is about as plug-and-play as you can get. There is a day-1 update, and if you're worried about not having an internet connection to download it you can actually download it from the official playstation website onto a USB cord and upload it onto your PS4- now even people who might not be able to get an internet connection can be playing in a short minute. Otherwise the update is fast and hassle free- it pretty much downloaded itself as soon as I turned the console and connected to the internet on and took almost no time. They recently had another update an it had actually finished downloading before I even knew what was going on. You can also connect your PS4 with your tablet and start an update download, or buy a game from PSN and start that download, from anywhere with wifi. Just start the PS4 app and tell it to download, and your game will be ready when you get home. Maybe one day Sony will let it make coffee for us ahead of time too.
Another great thing about the system is that Sony found it in their good souls to give a month of playstation plus, which comes with two free games right off the bat and more down the road, a month of music unlimited subscription which will let you make playlists from their online jukebox and stream them on your PS4 while you do other things, and a $10 code for the PSN store. I had no idea we were getting the $10 code with the console so I was really excited; they pretty much gave you a free game, or a movie if that's more your thing.
The games available on the system right now have a great variety- sports games, fighting games, first person shooters, a dance game for your kids/you when you get a little drunk- all in all I was very pleased with the selection. There are also a good few of Indie games available on the PSN store to download, and luckily Sony gave you that $10 card. My favorite is Sound Shapes, and if you buy it on the PS4 you also get it for PS3 and Vita! If you want a PS4 exclusive then get Super Motherload. They also have two Free-to-play games on the console right now- Blacklight: Retribution and Warframe. I love Warframe, it's a solid shooter with a hint of RPG magic in it. You get to be power ninjas with guns and you can choose different classes to d different cool abilities. Blacklight is a really good FPS that my boyfriend played for several hours, and niether of us felt compelled to buy anything in either game; every item in the game that can be bought with real currency can also be earned.
Streaming is really cool. There's a button on your remote and when you hit it the system asks if you want to automatically upload the last 15 minutes of gameplay to Facebook so you can brag to your friends, if you want to take a screenshot, or if you want to begin streaming to either UStream or Twitch. You need an account on one of these websites to begin streaming, but if you have one the setup is flawless. I recommend Twitch personally but if you already have a UStream account it might not be worth it to go out of your way for a Twtich one. The quality is great and so fare I've been told there hasn't been any skipping in the streaming quality.
The system is sleek and looks great on my stand. A light on the top of the console will glow to indicate what your system is doing. This is good for checking that the HDMI cord is in ad the TV is reading it properly, it helped me to realize I was on the wrong channel my HDMI cord didn't actually have anything wrong with it. There's also a light on the controller which, while nice in a lot of cases, I wish I was able to turn off. I think that's the biggest problem I have with the console right now and I believe it's something Sony will patch in the future.
Multimedia wise it has everything I want. Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu are all ready to be downloaded. There are a lot of other options too like Crunchyroll, NBA, Crackle (which is like a free netflix that mostly streams older movies) and even an Indian show channel called Yupptv. I didn't know I liked Indian shows, but I guess the PS4 teaches us all things we didn't know about ourselves. It doesn't support MP3s or DLNA right now but Sony said they were working on getting it supported so I have high hopes for the future.
So after all that let's do a quick Pros and Cons list:
PROS:
-Sexy on my mantle and I'm the envy of all my friends.
-Remote play work FLAWLESSLY. I played Resogun, Killzone, and Warframe from remote play on my Vita and had little to absolutely no lag on each game. Your PS4 even works as a hotspot for it so you don't have to worry about your jump routers connection to use it.
-Really great controller update; my boyfriends ginormous hands wear it wonderfully and comfortably.
-It's the next gen system! Soon you're going to be able to play all kinds of new games!
-Couples beautifully with the Vita and tablets to allow you to begin downloading anytime, anywhere.
-All the media apps you probably need, and a great browser for ones you think you need.
-Updated trophy system syncs trophies a lot faster and shows % of people that got each trophy
-GREAT Free to play games right out of the box!(as long as you have an internet connection) You don't even have to own a PS4 game to have a great time as soon as you get the console.
-You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars a year to keep the system's specs upgraded so you can play current games
CONS:
-They don't explain how to remove unwanted apps. For anyone that wants to go to Storage Management and click Applications.
-I'm not personally fond of the new User Interface. I found the XMB a bit easier to maneuver.
-Doesn't support MP3 or DLNA right out of the box and I'm very impatient.
-There's not enough time in the day for me to play with my new PS4, I wish Sony had also invented another hour or two.
First of all, the system is a lot smaller and lighter than i expected. I would expect a system this size in a PS4 "slim" edition with the way things have been going with Sony. You know what I mean...original console launches in a "fat" version, then we get a slim model, then a super slim. I'm guessing this may happen again, but I'm not sure how much smaller they could make this thing without killing it's nice looking design. In the box you get an HDMI cable, controller, and a flimsy little microphone that is pretty sad. It's staticy and is basically an earpiece and some little box that you can't even tell is a mic. Aw well...better than nothing right? Also you get some nice little starter deals from Sony. A 30 day PS Plus membership, a 10 buck voucher for the PS Store, and a free trial of Music Unlimited.
IF YOU ARE DOING CROSS BUY PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE 10 BUCK VOUCHER! I PAID FOR MY CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS UPDATE FROM PS3 TO PS4 AND COULD KICK MYSELF FOR NOT NOTICING THE VOUCHER FIRST!
As far as user experience, the system is fast but the UI is pretty bland at this point. There's not much there. There's not much in the PS Store. You can't do anything besides gaming and watching videos at this time. You can't really customize the interface at all. There is no wallpaper mode. I can't help but feel these features will be patched in later.
YOUTUBERS- YOU CANNOT RECORD VIDEO USING HDMI AT THIS TIME. I DO YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND WAS HOPING THAT THE REPORTS WOULD BE WRONG BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY ELGATO TO WORK. THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PATCH AT A LATER DATE TO ALLOW CAPTURE CARDS TO WORK BUT IT MAY HAVE STRINGS ATTACHED.
I have played Resogun and Warframe-both are free to play games although I think Resogun is only free with PS Plus membership. They are pretty good for free games. Resogun is a classic arcade space shooter that looks and sounds great. Warframe looks very good and is a good romp with 3 other random players or buddes. So far its gameplay isn't too in depth. It's a "get from point A to B" shooter. I only passed the first stage, though.
The games take up quite a bit of space on the hard drive. The digital version of Call of Duty took up 31 gigs alone. I would suggest upgrading right from the start if you plan to do a lot of digital downloading.
Social media is integrated heavily. Facebook and Twitter options are available. Also Twitch and UStream are integrated for sharing videos. There are already lots of videos in those sections to check out other gamers and their experiences with the system. You can show your real name and Facebook account profile picture IF YOU CHOOSE. It can be public, private, or friends list only. There are lots of customization options when it comes to how much you want to share online. Parental controls are here as well to stop the kiddies from logging in when you don't want them to or getting into those online lobbies full of cursing "gangstaz".
For 399 dollars, I couldn't be happier with what I've purchased here. I feel this is truly next gen gaming and I've only played a few launch games. Killzone makes me pause and marvel at the level of detail and lighting effects. And the scary thing is it is only a launch title. Games have all been in full 1080p. There has been no "up-converting". I can really tell the difference. The frame rates have all been 60 fps. Whereas the PS3 was console that hit right in a transition period, where no one knew where gaming was going as far as high def and networking, this is a fully-realized true next-gen console that takes full advantage of high def televisions and pushes out graphics in eye-popping detail.
The only con for me, and I'm in the minority, is that I truly loved the classic DualShock controllers. I thought they were perfect. Well, the triggers on the DualShock 3 did suck, but if they had simply put the DS4 triggers on the new controller and kept the exact same design otherwise, that would have been great in my opinion. I'm sure I'll adjust but it will definitely be missed. I even like the old analog stick shape better than this new indented style. Remember, this is personal preference...the controller is GREAT and very comfortable.
I can't wait to see what future games do with the hardware. Maybe it's because I've been gaming since the NES era, but I have been nothing but impressed with the visuals I've seen out of these launch titles. I've seen a lot of bashing going on...mostly from PC gamers and people who I must assume have not seen the system in action. A lot of these early reviews probably have tons of trolls hanging around leaving fake comments and low ratings just because they happen to be XBox fans or PC fans or just plain internet trolls. I truly feel we are in for some amazing experiences this generation and that Sony has learned a lot from the mistakes last gen.
