Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Was thinking of giving NBA a download but already have the disc installed. Will I have to redownload the whole game as a digital?

I had to. If I didn't, it keeps asking me to insert the disc. So I delete the game install and then re-download it.

I have yet to check and see if it kept any of my files.

Okay, thanks!

Okay, thanks!

You're not going to like this.

I just tried it, and it said that all of my files are corrupted. I assume this has to do with the switch-over somehow.

Maybe I can upload them from the cloud? Does PS4 even have cloud storage?

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

It does, unless you've been ignoring all the upload messages and it stopped uploading or your cloud storage is full

Yes you have cloud storage

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Pretty much all in for this new ps4. Really enjoyed e3. We subscribed to Vue as well so I'm going to move my current ps4 to the living room.

Vue is great. I enjoyed e3 until they got to VR. That has no interest for me.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

For those of who you are switching/have switched to Vue. What internet service do you have?

We currently have Verizon DSL, but it tops out a 7Mbps. I imagine a switch to Comcast would be necessary.

What do you guys do for your local channels and sports that you want to watch in real-time? Can I sign up for HBO Go somehow?

Also, do any of you guys avoid the modem/router rental fee by using your own?

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

The standalone paid HBO Go is called HBO Now. https://order.hbonow.com/

That's if you don't have a family member's credentials to use to get into the service...

And yeah, totally worth avoiding modem rental fees, don't buy it from your provider either, just grab a compatible modem from Frys or your local electronics store. Typically recoup that money within a year or so.

Live sports= Combination of antenna and mlb.tv/nfl Sunday ticket

I have Xfinity, and it has been pretty flawless so far. (dropped AT&T cable and ISP, a couple of months ago, specifically because of Vue.)

Also, I agree that it's better to pay upfront for your own modem. And not from the ISP either. A comparable third party modem/router can even actually give you slightly better speeds, in some cases.

I have an antenna for local channels, but I rarely use it anymore since the local ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and CW stations are now available thru Vue in my area (Houston). I used it to watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and then magically ABC was available the next day on view! As for other sports, the Elite package has regional Fox Sports channels too,as well as BigTen, SEC and Longhorn networks... needless to say, I think Vue is awesome lol.

I wonder if GS will do a trade in deal. Would like the upgrade, and would probably swap my 2TB into the new one.

That's a question independent of vue.

If you're gonna have Internet for the foreseeable future , it's more economical for just about everybody to buy their own. Every few years you may have to replace one or the other for some reason like breakage or technology upgrade but at $90-$120 modem vs $8-$10 a month for renting you'd be ahead after a year or so.

Plus a lot of times the routers and modems from companies are crap. Owning your own let's you get a reputable brand and let's you upgrade firmware and customize settings easier.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

$90-120? Is that with a router or just straight up modem? I found some compatible ones with good reviews in the $40-60 range.

Do you get other regional channels or just your area?

I too dropped ATT for Comcast internet. I pay for 75mbps and constantly get 90 with my own modem.
