I have to wait until I sell my Ps4. If I preorder it I have to pay for it, don't I?

Not normally no. You'll pay like 5 bucks.

Ah yea, I didnt think about that. Forgot preordering something like that was different than preordering a game.

...is that an extra 5 bucks I'm paying on top of the $450?

You shouldn't wait bc if you don't sell it, you can always cancel the preorder. If its Best Buy, all you need is $5 in store and that is deducted from your total when you pick it up. If you preorder online though, you need to have the full amount. You aren't charged till it ships/release day, but a pending charge is placed on your credit card

It's pretty much a done deal man. The only way this won't happen is if I come to my senses and realize it's not going through all this trouble just to get a white colored Ps4.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

Holy ****, I just tried out the checkout process on both amazon and best buy, and the tax being charged adds up to almost $40!

 

[X Knight]

so it seems the next PS4 update will be another stability patch.............

............yay.........

I think you should come to your senses and realize it's not worth the trouble.

Haha yep. I think in my state its a 7% sales tax? Altho like i mentioned earlier, I dont have to pay taxes on amazon, so I was able to get my consoles for much less than had I of gone with Gamestop or something.

Haha, some PS4 "insider" is claiming an August update will add "media playback" but thats all he'd say.

........I'll believe it when I see it..........

also, another thing I hope they change if/when they update the UI, is the way the PS4 displays your full name ( the first and last name in your profile ).

I don't really see the need why the PS4 has to display your full name, to you. Why can't it just display your first name ( like the X1 apparently does ) or your PSN ID?

There should simply be an option to choose how you want your name displayed in the UI: Full Name / First Name / PSN ID.

not a huge thing, but a minor annoyance.

I've seen the X1 dashboard and it looks like it just displays your first name along with your gamertag, and just addresses you by your first name.

.

Then just remove your last name from your profile so it only shows your first.

you can't leave the last name field blank.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

you can't leave the last name field blank.

Ah, so just put an initial, thats what I did.

 

[X Knight]

Ah, so just put an initial, thats what I did.

that's what I did at first.

then I just used a fake name........Raven X. lol

but still, it's seems like such an easy thing to change. just give us the option on how we want our name to be displayed.

not a biggie.......but just a minor annoyance.

Haha thats a pretty cool way around it.

It really isn't in fact, the one thing that will stop me is the rumor confirmed to be true that the white Ps4 will be the new standard.

Haha yep. I think in my state its a 7% sales tax? Altho like i mentioned earlier, I dont have to pay taxes on amazon, so I was able to get my consoles for much less than had I of gone with Gamestop or something.

I'm in New York. And I was hoping there was no sales tax on amazon for the bundle but that obviously wasn't true.

Haha, some PS4 "insider" is claiming an August update will add "media playback" but thats all he'd say.

Still waiting on the option to change my background from that stupid blue swivly line.

If I purchase a discounted PS Plus game with a PS Plus trial, will I be locked out of said game upon the trials completion?

.....most likely, because you'd no longer be on PS+.

 

[Sardaukar]

Do you guys have problems playing game trailers on the playstation store? I've never been able to play a trailer without it pausing or the sound going off. I assume it's not my connection. I have no issues playing anything else...

 

[ProjectPat2280]

.....most likely, because you'd no longer be on PS+.

Really? Damn. I mean It's not like I'm getting the game for free, I'm giving em 8 bux.

Edit it looks like you do keep the stuff you paid for:

FREE GAMES ; Any game / DLC you get FREE with plus expires at the same time your plus membership expires. Meaning you will not be able to play these games unless you renew plus, or buy the game. if you go the way of reuping for plus - you can still play the games from your old membership - even if your membership expired - if you deleted the games because you were no longer able to play them - you can find them in your download list and redownload them

DISCOUNTED ITEMS;Anything you got from plus as a discounted item you paid for you keep.

MISC; All avatars, themes are yours to keep forever.

Excellent. Gonna snag that 8 dollar Injustice.

 

[The Squirrel]

Are you buying the full game? You don't lose access to games you buy.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea it was the full game, it was like 8.49 or something.

Also, can multiple users access one PS Plus membership? Or does each user on my PS4 need their own Plus?

 

[Dave McFly]

quick question I heard that the PS4 does not support flash drives I have one or 2 that have videos I transferred to my flash drive from my PC/laptop. I play them on my PS3 as I cannot seem to get the streaming from my PC to PS3 since I upgraded to windows 7.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Sorry, I thought you meant games. I have actually only preordered one game console, and with Amazon they charge you nothing for it (or if they do, it's a negligible fee).
